The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2037

Of course, there might never be an objective truth. Renee was simply trying to save face, since she was reluctant to accept things as they were.

"Don't say that," Francine said icily, her face serious. "I know you. You aren't that kind of person. If you are, my son wouldn't love you so deeply. Adie and Abby wouldn't be raised so well either."

"Stop flattering me. I won't say bad things about him in front of the kids, but I won't glorify him either. I'll just tell them what I know. What I saw was that he insisted on leaving the kids and me for another woman. Isn't that bad of him?" Renee said.

She approached Francine, her tone overbearing. She hoped Francine would tell her the truth, especially considering the latter's bad temper and straightforward character.

"No, you're wrong! My son isn't that kind of man! He did that for you and the kids. He was worried all of you would be sad, so he endured it all on your own. He cares about you and the kids, and he just wants all of you to be happy! "Francine said.

As expected, she failed to hold on and started speaking on Stefan's behalf with great agitation.

Stefan bore the most pain and the fiercest rebukes, but all he got for it was a bad reputation. His wife and family even hated and misunderstood him. He had suffered the greatest injustice.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"So, what has he endured? If you want the best for him, tell me, and let me bear it with him!" Renee said.

She kept forcing Francine's hand, insisting on ruining the latter's defense.

"There's nothing we can't solve!" she went on. "He likes to bear everything on his own, and in the end, something so trivial snowballed into a major problem that can't be solved. I don't think that's a good resolution. If you know anything, tell me. I'll overcome all the obstacles with him. Wouldn't that make for a happy ending?"

In the past, Stefan had behaved in that baffling manner several times. He suddenly left Renee and got tangled up with Seraphina. Yet, those problems were trivial for her.

"Let me guess. Is Hunt Enterprise facing another crisis and going bankrupt?"

Renee had learned from her experiences, and tried to guess the reason for Stefan's sudden bout of insanity.

"That must be it. Hunt Enterprise is going bankrupt. The Hunts are losing money and might get into a lot of debt. He's worried about getting the kids and me into debt, too. Is that why he insisted on leaving me? Or... Is there something wrong with his body? Is he suffering from cancer?"

Renee pondered over it, then added agitatedly. "There must be something wrong with his body! After all, he was poisoned. He must have gotten ill from there on. He even changed the blood of his body and exhausted himself to find herbs for me. I'm sure his body is failing him. So, he wants me to hate him instead of letting me watch him die... Is he trying to put on a melodramatic show?"

"No, that's not it!" Awakrd, Francine hurriedly interrupted Renee. If Renee kept talking, her words sounded like a jinx on Stefan.

"Hunt Enterprise is doing very well, with sufficient cash flow," Francine explained. "It's about to launch alternative fuel vehicles, too. It's prospering right now. How is it possible for it to go bankrupt? Plus, Stefan's very strong. If he wasn't, he'd be too weak to carry you. He did all that because...
