“Let’s do it!” After listening to Sandra’s plan, Renee’s eyes glowed with excitement. “Ms. Lee. I’ve got tohand it to you. You actually found a solution for such a tricky case. I knew I needed you to join my firm!With the three of you around, I can do whatever I want. The entire Beach City No, the entire world ismine!” Renee declared gleefully.

Zack laughed. “Boss, you’re exaggerating. You might not be able to get the entire Beach City, but Ithink you can acquire thirty to forty percent of it.”

Clearly, Renee wasn’t satisfied with that amount. She frowned. “Why only thirty or forty percent? Whatabout the rest?”

“What do you think?” Zack brought Renee crashing back to reality. “Naturally, the remaining sixty toseventy percent belongs to your ex- husband, aka our ex–boss, Stefan Hunt.”

The Hunt family was one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, and the other seven familieswere also not to be underestimated. The Everheart family wanted to return to its peak position, but thechallenge would not be an easy one. Being able to occupy thirty to forty percent of the market wouldalready be a commendable feat.

Sandra, whose presence dominated the room, finally said something. “You don’t have to belittleyourself. If you win this case, the Hunt family will become the Everheart family’s money–making tool.It’s not impossible for the Everheart family to surpass the Hunt family.”

“Exactly. The Everheart family used to be on the same level as the Hunt family, it’s just that we made afew mistakes along the way and fell behind…” Renee took a deep breath, then continued softly. “I’mthe only remaining descendant of the Everheart family – I can’t afford to make any more mistakes.”

Zack shook his head. ‘These women are way too ambitious. They expect the Everheart family tosurpass the Hunt family, the strongest family in Beach City, just by winning a single court case. They’retoo naive!”

At night, in Sporadic Stars Bar.

Stefan, Christopher, and Xavier sat in the VIP section drinking glass after glass of whiskey, each withtheir own troubling thoughts.

Since the three of them looked distinguished and exuded different vibes, nearly all the women whocame to the bar were eyeing them.

Xavier opened another bottle of whiskey and filled everyone’s glasses enthusiastically. “Stop looking sodown. This is the last night all

three of us will celebrate as single men! After tonight. Christopher will be trapped in marriage foreverCecelia isn’t someone you can easily fool so if you don’t have your fun now, when will you?”

Christopher picked up his glass and silently watched the bubbles rising to the surface of his whiskey.There wasn’t even a hint of joy on his face despite knowing he would soon be married. He let out along sigh, swirling the whiskey in his hand absently.

Xavier couldn’t understand. “Christopher, you’re about to get married to your soulmate. Why are yousighing?”

Christopher didn’t answer him. Instead, he looked at Stefan, who also had a gloomy expression on hisface. “Stefan, you’re the only one among us who’s been married. Tell me, how did you feel at the time?Did you also have cold feet like me?”

Stefan stared at the alcohol in his glass, deep in thought. After a long while, he shook his head. “Iforgot how I felt the night before my wedding. I can only recall feeling disgusted.”

“Disgusted?” Christopher frowned. “Were you disgusted by the person you were marrying or by theidea of marriage itself?”

Stefan shook his head again. “I don’t know maybe both.”

Stefan and Renee had gotten married four years ago. It was such a long time ago that all his memorieshad turned blurry. He’d forgotten many things, but the only thing he could clearly recall was that Reneelooked gorgeous on their wedding day. She’d worn a blue and white wedding dress. Her cheeks hadbeen a little flushed, and she looked like a shy, young girl. In fact, she didn’t even have the courage tolook him in the eye that day.

Back then, she’d been adorable and demure, and he had felt the urge to protect her, but now, she wasfierce like a tiger. Whenever they met, she’d claw at him as if she wanted to kill him!

“Of course he’d be disgusted!” Xavier uttered as if he’d gone through a similar experience. “Stefan wasforced to marry his wife, so of course he wouldn’t be happy…”

“Christopher, it’s different for you and Cecelia. You two are getting married because you love eachother. You’ve been through so much as a couple, and you can finally be together now. I’m sure you’ll bevery happy. Don’t you look forward to your life as a married couple?” Xavier

asked curiously.

Stefan and Christopher looked at each other and said nothing. They smiled bitterly and clinked theirglasses together.

“Yeah. I’m marrying Cecilia out of love, so I should be happy. Stefan and Ms. Everheart are gettingdivorced because they don’t love each other, so he should be happy too, but Why do we both replace it sohard to be happy?”
