The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1571
"You won't?" A chuckle escaped Jovan. "But Grandpa said that you would. He painted you as a soft-hearted god who would
show me mercy, and that weakness of yours would be your demise. He begged me, hoping I would let you go!" Jovan laughed,
mocking Timothy. He'd never assumed that Stefan would go easy on him-he just hadn't pushed Stefan’s limits yet.
"I knew it!" Stefan asked urgently, "What did he offer you?" Timothy had been mysterious lately, and always chatted with Jovan
behind Stefan's back. Stefan figured that Timothy might have heard rumors about the board of directors being unhappy with him,
and figured that Jovan would defeat Stefan in a battle for the company, so he had tried to make peace with Jovan humbly for
Stefan's sake... but that wasn't the truth. Stefan could have fought back, but he was exhausted, and he had something else he
valued more now. He didn't care about fighting Jovan anymore.
"He said he would let me have full power over Hunt Enterprise, and you'll only be there for major decisions, and you'd still get the
year-end dividend," Jovan said in amusement, as if Timothy's generosity was something of a joke to him.
"Isn't that what you want?" Stefan bit out, his gaze steely. "Didn't you want to gain more power than me and control Hunt
Enterprise for years? Did you say yes?" "No, I turned him down," Jovan said lightly.
"You turned him down?" Stefan's eyes widened, and he felt strangely disappointed. Maybe he had secretly wanted Jovan to take
over the company so he could have a more laid-back life with his family.
Jovan noticed Stefan's disappointment and smiled. "That's the same look Grandpa had when I turned him down. Clearly, you
both want me to take over Hunt Enterprise. Is it really such a burden? You both seem so eager to get rid of it, and I have to say,
I'm not as excited to take it over now." "No, that's not it." Stefan sighed. "I believe you know more than me whether it’s a burden
or not. It's just that my perception is different now-the things I tried hard to get in the past are no longer important to me because
I have something more important to protect. I don't want to fight you anymore." Maybe it was the serene environment that
caused Stefan to reveal his inner thoughts to Jovan. Besides, Timothy knew him well-after Stefan had received Jovan's blood
and eyes, he could no longer regard him as his enemy. Even though they had been fighting all this time, Stefan ultimately hoped
to reconcile with Jovan and see them both get the ending they wanted.
"You don't want to fight me, and I want that too... but I can't help it that we both fancy the same thing." Jovan's eyes gleamed,
and he smiled deviously. "Can you give me what I want?"
