“Your daughter-in-law?”
A playful expression crept onto Haze’s handsome face.
So the well-dressed woman in front of him was Francine Milford, Renee’s former mother-inlaw.
“As far as I know, Miss Everheart is currently single. It’s a bit inappropriate for you to claim
to be her mother-in-law like this.”
“What do you know?”
Francine raised her chin high and said, ’If she’s my daughter-in-law for a day, she’s my
daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Until the day she remarries, no one can replace my position
as the “mother-in-law”.”
Haze put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. “In that case, I’m afraid you’ll be
disappointed. I’m actually here to take Miss Everheart to meet my parents. If everything
goes well, she’ll have a new mother-in-law soon.”
Francine already had an impending sense of crisis before this, but after hearing what Haze
said, the sense of crisis became even stronger. She immediately interrogated him, “Who are
you? Who are your parents? What’s your relationship with Renee?”
Before Haze could answer, she added confidently, “Do you know how much Renee loves
my son? Do you know how much she yearns to be Mrs. Hunt again? It’s only a matter of
time before she remarries my son. There’s no way she would go meet your parents with
you.”
“Oh, really?”
Haze raised his eyebrows and smiled even wider. “Should we go ask her right now how
much she loves your son and how much she yearns to be Mrs. Hunt again?”
“Ahem!”
Francine immediately pursed her lips and said, somewhat guiltily, “There’s no need forthat.
Let’s wait and see what happens.”
If they really were to go ask Renee now, Francine’s lie would be exposed for sure. She
would never do such a humiliating thing!
“Anyway, I advise you not to waste your time. Her ex-husband is Stefan Hunt. There’s no
way she would fall for a nobody!”
Haze was not upset. Instead, he said cheerfully, “Like you said, let’s wait and see what
happens!”
After leaving the Hunt Villa, Francine rushed to the headquarters of H Group.
When the employees saw her, they knew trouble was coming. They quickly immersed
themselves in their work and tried to keep a low profile.
“Where’s my son? I want to see him right away!”
Francine went all the way to the CEO’s office on the top floor, slammed the table and asked
the secretary.
“Miss Francine, the CEO is in an executive meeting. Why don’t you wait for him in the
lounge? I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
“No! This can’t wait!”
Without saying another word, Francine headed straight for the meeting room and pushed
open the door. ’Son, this is urgent. Get out of there. I need to tell you something!”
Stefan was sitting tall and imposing in the center like a king. He frowned when he saw his
mother. “I’m in a meeting. Whatever you want to tell me, it can wait.”
Francine rushed in impatiently and said, “Who cares about the meeting? You’re about to
lose your wife! You need to act now!”
“Wow!”
As soon as she said that, dozens of H Group’s executive members exclaimed in surprise
under their breaths, unable to maintain their solemn and serious expression any longer.
They were eagerly waiting to hear more of the gossip.
After all, the H Group was, without a doubt, the place that contained the highest number of
“stans” of the “Renee-Stefan ship”.
Stefan rubbed his temples. He wished he could dig a hole and jump into it.
He got up and, while walking out of the meeting room, told Francine in low voice, ‘We’ll talk
in my office.”
Francine nodded with satisfaction and said, “That’s more like it!”
After they left, the senior executives of H Group immediately discussed with each other
what just happened.
“I knew it, our CEO hasn’t moved on from his wife. He’s gonna win her back now!”
‘ I bet 100,000 dollars that Renee and Stefan will get back together!” “I’m not optimistic. The
CEO’s wife looks like the kind of person who wouldn’t look back. I bet 500,000 dollars that
it’s over for them!” ”100,000 dollars on reconciliation!”
