Chapter 617

Renee was so angry that she punched Jovan in the back twice. She did it so naturally that it was like they knew each

other for a long time - there was no awkwardness between them at all.

Stefan's expression twisted even more, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

"You see, Stefan... this is Renee's real personality. She’s not dignified or gentle like you said, nor is she elegant or

prim and proper. The real Renee Everheart has a violent temper, and she beats people up when she's displeased

with them. She always beats me up when she sees me; she's basically a tigress’ I bet you've never seen this side of

her, have you?"

Although he'd just gotten punched, Jovan could not be happier. In fact, he even looked proud as he crowed

triumphantly, "You were married to her for so many years, but I bet she's never punched you, has she? That's too

bad... Research shows that when a woman is relaxed enough to show her real self to a man, she would be more

likely to love the man with all her heart and spend the rest of her life with him-"

"Shut up!" Stefan clenched his jaw and cut Jovan off abruptly. He coldly barked, "If you're going to be a pervert,

then get out. Stop humiliating everyone here!"

Jovan merely smirked and continued, "You really are pathetic, Stefan Hunt. You had such an awesome woman as

your wife, but you threw it all away just to be with a scheming one instead. Don't you know how cool your ex- wife

is? She used to be in a popular band, and was rebellious, edgy, and even had a buzz cut! When she stood onstage

playing the guitar, she shone brighter than the stars in the night sky. That scheming woman can't even compare to

the ground she walks on...*

"You probably didn't know this,' Jovan added, 'but I was her biggest fan! I went to see all of her shows, I bought

every album of hers, and I even recorded all of her performances... I've seen so many sides of her that you've

never seen before, so believe me when I say I understand your own wife better than you do. Doesn't that make you

feel ashamed of yourself?"

"That's enough, Jovan!" Renee had to stop him by pressing her fingers on his forehead. She would die of

embarrassment if he kept going! She whispered to him, "Everyone has been young and frivolous before, so stop

bringing up the past! It's irrelevant and doesn't mean anything anymore."

The last thing she wanted was for Stefan to find out how ridiculous she was when she used to play in an

underground band. They had been trying to raise funds for children with leukemia back then, so everyone in the

band got a buzz cut to show their solidarity. They had even shaved their heads completely bald once, and then

bleached their hair blonde when it grew back. All in all, they had been the textbook definition of rebellious youths

that were loud, proud, and cool.

If Stefan actually explored this era of her past, she would have to dig herself a hole and hide in it for the rest of her

life. She would never be able to hold her head high ever again!

Jovan noticed how Stefan had fallen silent, so he added, "Do you know why I've always resented you all these

years? It's because you destroyed my sacred idol! You were so lucky to have her, and yet you never appreciated

her! You had a diamond in your hand, yet you threw her into a crowd of mediocre people! You polluted her and

dulled her luster, turning her into a common lump of coal. You simply didn't know how to cherish a woman like her!"

Stefan stared at Jovan, who was seething with rage, and emotionlessly asked him, "So, what then? What are you

going to do about it?"

Jovan sneered, "I just wanted to warn you that you're mistaken if you think you've won today. As long as I'm alive,

Stefan Hunt, I'll definitely replace you and get my precious diamond back. I'll let her radiate her own brilliant light

once again!"

"Well," Stefan shrugged indifferently, "she's right here. If you want her so much, you can just fight for her with your

own capabilities. What's the point of declaring war with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode straight out of the restroom, not even glancing at Renee as he walked

past her. It was as if the two were complete strangers - that was how cold Stefan was!
