“I’m going to kill you, Renee Everheart!” Seraphina howled like a banshee, and lunged at
Renee again. “Who do you think you are?! I’m telling you, I have something that could ruin
Enter title…
your reputation! It might even cost you your life, so don’t you dare provoke me, or else…”
“Enough!” Stefan growled harshly, grabbing her and holding her firmly. His gaze was icy as
he warned her, “You’ve been enough of an embarrassment today, so don’t make things
worse. If you keep this up, not even your entire family’s wealth would be enough to pay for
the consequences.”
After hearing this, Seraphina immediately fell silent.
Renee quickly took the opportunity to provoke Seraphina into giving her more information.
“Oh? Ruin my reputation, you say? Tell me your plan then, my good daughter, Daddy won’t
get mad at you. Unless… you’re bluffing!”
Seraphina hid behind Stefan, her mouth shut but her glare piercing. It was obvious that
suppressing her rage was absolute torture for her.
“You should stop messing with her too. She just has a fiery temper, so I’ll apologize in her
stead. Please stop trying to provoke her.” Stefan bowed gently to the woman. His politeness
made it seem like there was a great wall between them, despite their previous intimate
relationship.
At that moment, Renee felt defeated, and her heart twisted painfully. Facing his courtesy
was far worse than fighting with him.
“And what’s your relationship with each other? Why are you apologizing for her? Are you
close? Who is she to you?” Renee smiled coldly as she sneered.
When she heard this, Seraphina’s eyes lit up and she nudged the man’s arm. She smirked
and said, “Stef, since Miss Everheart brought it up, shouldn’t you give her an answer? It’s
time we officially announce our relationship to the public anyway! You promised.”
Stefan tightened his grip on Seraphina’s shoulder, silently reassuring her. “Seraphina and
I…”
The gesture infuriated Renee, and she clenched her fists.
“Hold on!” Before Stefan could speak, Renee interrupted him in an icy voice. She stood up
from her seat and approached them with slightly reddened eyes, staring at the man quietly.
“Stefan Hunt, I’d advise you to think before you speak. You should know how important KCL
is to H Group… it’s worth far more than the Murphy family, I’m sure. Not only does your
choice concern you, it concerns your entire family too.” Renee couldn’t help but put
pressure on the man, making her stance clear.
This was a battle between two women who wanted to have Stefan all to themselves. As
potential ‘sugar mommies’, they were both equally willing to make sacrifices to win this
pretty boy over.
Renee knew her skills were more valuable than the Murphys’ support. Anyone with a sane
mind would know who to pick.
Feeling threatened, Seraphina started bluffing to compensate. “What’s so great about the
KCL Group anyway? Aren’t you just some pathetic company that makes chips? How could
you possibly be wealthier than my family? What H Group needs the most is cash! Does your
lame company even have that?”
Renee looked at Stefan imploringly and responded, “Stefan should know the current market
value of KCL Group. As long as you make the right choice, both H Group and KCL Group
are yours.”
Seraphina, however, refused to admit defeat. “Oh, so what? My dad intends to hand our
entire family business to Stef too! All our assets will be his, sooner or later!”
