The Untouchable Ex-Wife

"No, you got me wrong!" Renee immediately denied it.

She looked awkward, as if she had been seen through.

"I just want to minimize the negative impact.

I'll still do this even if this issue has nothing to do with Stefan." "Fine." Dale nodded without getting to the bottom of it.

"I wanted to take full responsibility for this.

After all, I'm going to retire.

But since you're willing to step forward, I won't reject your offer.

My pension is very important, too.

If this issue gets bigger, my family will be humiliated.

Plus, I might not retire peacefully.

It's horrible just thinking of it." "I'm sorry, Mr. Porter.

In short, I should be held responsible for this.

Thank you for giving Joanne this working opportunity too.

She cherished this very much, and kept saying that being a teacher was like a second chance in life," Renee apologized to Dale sincerely, and thanked him. She knew the issue wouldn't be that serious if not for Quinton's craziness.

Hence, she felt that she should step forward to bear the responsibility for it reasonably.

"Well, you don't have to thank me.

I just did Mr. Hunt a favor.

You should thank him instead." Dale checked his watch, and suddenly stood up.

He smoothed his clothes nervously.

"Look. I happened to have an appointment with Mr. Hunt today.

He'll soon get here." "What? Is...he coming too?" Renee soon panicked, as if she was guilty of being caught red-handed.

She hurriedly told Dale, "Well, it's decided.

I'll go now.

When you need me to step forward, just call me." "Are you leaving?" Dale tried to make her stay.

"Mr. Hunt will soon be here.

Isn't it better for you to discuss the solutions together? I happened to book a private room in The Crane.

Let's talk while we're eating." "No, I've got something at home.

I'll take a rain check," Renee said politely, and retreated to the door of the office.

While stepping forward, she bumped into somebody.

1 She knew instantly who that was.

Subconsciously, she frowned and wanted the ground to swallow her up.

She cursed inwardly for such bad luck.

She had tried her best to avoid having contact with Stefan.

She even chose the afternoon of a working day to meet the principal.

She wondered why she would bump into Stefan, and if he didn't have to get to work.

"Haha! Mr. Hunt, speaking of the devil.

Ms. Everheart and I were talking about you!" Dale enthusiastically welcomed Stefan.

Stefan stood tall, and was as handsome and noble as usual.

He glanced at Renee, and said indifferently, "Is that so? What was it about?" "Nothing." Renee beat Dale to it and cut the topic short. Then, she smiled at Stefan politely.

"Mr.

Porter, Mr.

Hunt, I've got something at home.

I'll go now and leave you to your chat." For an unknown reason Renee didn't want to spend much time with

Stefan.

She purposely avoided his gaze and tried to brush past him.

She felt that they should have a clean break.

They should not meet or miss each other, or even talk to each other.

As time passed by, Renee would get used to not having him by her side.

He would then no longer be able to affect her mood.

"Um..." Dale looked awkward.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He wanted Renee to stay.

"Ms. Everheart, why don't you discuss your former .suggestion with Mr. hunt? I think we'd better listen to him about this.

What if he has other solutions?" "That's unnecessary' Renee stopped being gentle and became overbearing and aloof.

"If you think it won't work, you can listen to him.

I just gave you a suggestion.

After all, I don't have to implicate myself in this." "What?"
