Mr. Q placed his hands together and replied, “If Stefan Hunt really were to fight
you for custody, what do you think your biggest disadvantage would be?”
“I don’t think I have any disadvantages.” Renee seemed cocky, replying coldly. “I
raised both of them, that’s a big enough advantage. He has nothing against
me.”
“If it was someone else, they might not be able to win against you, but this man
is Stefan Hunt – he has H Group behind his back. As long as they wish it, both
the court and the public would surely favor them without questions. If you don’t
have a perfect plan to counter his attacks, you might just lose horribly.”
Enter title…
Renee clenched her fists, looking slightly depressed. “What would be a perfect
plan, then?”
“Back to my previous question. If Stefan Hunt were to fight for custody, I think
your biggest disadvantage would be the environment you could provide for the
children, not your financial status or education level…”
Renee shook her head, visibly confused. “I don’t get it.”
“Children need to be raised in a healthy environment. Imagine this – if they
followed Stefan Hunt, they would have a father, grandparents, and a large
extended family to provide them with love and care… You, however, are all
alone, you’re all that’s left of the Everheart family. An incomplete family would
negatively affect a child’s upbringing. If you don’t come up with a solution, you
will become the losing party when you two go to court.” Mr. Q analyzed the
situation thoroughly.
Although it was harsh, it was the truth.
Renee’s determined gaze slowly became gloomier, but she continued putting up
a tough act. “So what? The children are close to me, they wouldn’t want to leave
me! Besides, I have the best lawyers on my side, so I’m not afraid of facing him
in court.”
“You’re so naive…” Mr. Q chuckled. “You should know that children below eight
years of age have no say in choosing a parent to follow. As for your lawyers…
you need to know that there will be better talents out there, so you can’t say for
sure yours are the best. I’m very sure that Stefan Hunt has the power and
wealth to find people like that.”
Renee was feeling enraged at this point, and shot the man a fierce glare. “What
are you trying to say? You keep talking about how great our enemy is, and
undermining our team! Do you want that jerk to take the kids away?”
“Nope!” Mr. Q shook his head, completely serious. “I don’t want that to happen,
which is why I’m forming this plan with you. We can’t allow Stefan Hunt even a
single chance to win.”
“So? Have you thought of any solutions?”
“Of course!” The man finally started expressing his actual thoughts. “Let’s get
legally married, and give the children a complete family. Abby and Adie are fond
of me too. We’re capable enough to provide them a good environment and
proper education too. With that, Stefan Hunt would have close to no chance of
winning custody.”
“Stop messing around!” Renee’s face turned red and she felt awkward. “It’s
ridiculous enough that we have to put up an act in front of the kids every single
day! Now you even want us to ‘try out’ getting legally married! This is insanity…
I can’t accept this!”
“I’m just throwing out suggestions. It’s fine if you can’t accept it, but well… I just
hope you don’t come to regret this decision when you’re in court with Stefan
Hunt.” Mr. Q leaned against the couch casually, staring at the ceiling with a
slight smirk.
“Oh and… just one more thing. If Stefan Hunt were to marry another woman,
he’ll undoubtedly have a 100% chance of winning.”
That night, Renee tossed and turned the whole night, unable to fall asleep at all.
Mr. Q’s words might have been upsetting, but he was merely being realistic.
Everything was still fine with Stefan not knowing about the two children’s
existence. However, if he ever found out, they would certainly have to cross
paths in court.
Although she had three trump cards within Hunts & Co. Law Firm, she had no
idea if Stefan could find a better lawyer to take his case. She really didn’t have
full confidence that she could win this…
