The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 281
"Hmph!"
Stefan's expression became even darker, and he even snorted in disdain.
As for why he was angry, even he couldn't tell!
It's just that, whenever he saw Renee being close with another man, he would feel angry!
"What are you snorting at? Bro, you said you're not jealous, but your face simply screams jealousy..."
Xavier explained, "Yes, I used to dislike Ren, but that's only because I thought she was a scheming woman who clung onto you
and wouldn’t let go, a parasitic flower that could only survive under the shelter of the Hunt family. I thought she was a hindrance
to you finding true happiness..."
"But now that you're divorced, I realize that Ren is actually really capable. Not only does she manage the Hunt and Co. Law Firm
and the Azure Group remarkably well, she now wants to get land from me, presumably to do something big. She’s not a soft and
weak parasitic flower at all, but a strong and unyielding poisonous flower!"
Before Xavier had even finished praising Renee, Zack immediately piled on the praises, "Ain't that right. Our boss is super
talented, resourceful, and meticulous. All three of us Hunt and Co. partners willingly follow her lead now. And I've never seen the
law firm employees work so enthusiastically before. The law firm finally stops looking like a retirement home. This is all thanks to
our boss' unmatched charisma!"
Renee felt a bit embarrassed being praised like that. She waved her hand and said, "It's no big deal. I just have a lot of energy to
spare because I recently regained my freedom. It's nothing special..."
Stefan caught the key point among the string of praises. He asked Renee with a frown, "You got some land from Xavier? What
do you plan to do with it?"
"Sorry, I have no obligation to inform you about that, Mr. Hunt."
"Don't tell me you want to set up a production center?"
"How clever of you, Mr. Hunt, but... your guess is only half right."

Renee said meaningfully, "The Azure Group will not remain just a manufacturer forever. We'll also expand into the core
business."
"You're out of your mind!"
Stefan thought Renee was crazy. He said coldly, "Do you have any idea what you're doing? What kind of problem you're gonna
face? What kind of risk you're taking?" « »
Stefan's interrogating questions were so sharp that Renee felt a bit overwhelmed and did not know how to respond.
She could not understand why he was so emotional. Was he afraid that Azure Group would grow so big that it would take away
H Group's market share? If so, that's some serious lack of confidence!
Xavier could not help teasing him, "Bro, it's none of your business. Don't forget that you two are divorced now. She can do
whatever she wants, whether it's falling in love or investing in something.
As for what risks she's taking and if she can deal with the consequences, it's got nothing to do with you!”
"That's right, why should I care?"
Stefan stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'm done eating. Goodbye!"
Then, he just left.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.
Xavier looked at Renee and Zack apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, he's a bit grumpy. He's not normally like this!"
Renee and Zack looked at each other and nodded in understanding. "No need to explain. We all know how he is.”
So, dinner went on with the three of them taking turns roasting Stefan...
They parted ways after the meal. Zack and Renee were going in the opposite direction while Xavier happened to be going the
same way as Renee, so Renee took Xavier's car home.
The two of them chatted happily in the car, oblivious to the impending crisis...
