Fueled by her victory, Renee happily went around breaking all the things she had bought for Stefan. After all, it should be fine since she was the one who had bought them.
"Now you're done for, Mrs. Hunt. You broke all his favourite things, and I bet he's going to be furious. Why don't you run away now? I fear the consequences might be dire."
"He'll be furious?" Renee finally stopped, breathing hard. Grinning wickedly at Elijah, she said, "Well, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. He started it, so it's only right that I end it."
Renee looked around Stefan's office and pursed her lips contemplatively. 'Ugh, I can't believe I bought so many things for that ungrateful turd. I'm so tired that I can't even break them all.'
Finally, her gaze landed on the coffee machine she bought him, and she walked over to it. Just as she lifted it up, Stefan strode into the room. He grabbed her wrist and sneered, "Are you done making a scene?"
"Well, well… Master Hunt finally joined the party. I'll stop then." Renee put the coffee machine down and smiled sweetly at him.
When Stefan saw the broken things all over the floor, his eyes blazed in rage. He glared at Elijah and snarled, "Did Medusa here turn you to stone? You just stood here and enjoyed the show?"
Elijah immediately lowered his head and muttered reluctantly, "Mr. Hunt, you were the one who said she could break things, right?"
"I did say that but you know my limits! She smashed all the things Seraphina bought me. I cherished those things, and you let her break them!" Stefan was clenching his fists, his face turning red in anger.
"Mr. Hunt, you've got me all wrong. Of course, I don't think you're a kind man. If you were, you wouldn't have fooled me again and again. You even secretly moved Joanne somewhere else without telling me. I'm only returning the favour… Wouldn't want you to get bored now, would we?" Renee looked at the broken things on the floor and faked a smile as she said teasingly, "Hmm, Miss Murphy certainly has an… interesting taste in things. An ashtray, a pencil holder, a coffee machine, a cushion... what cheap things she gave you. Is the Master Hunt who's worth billions so easily won over?"
Elijah covered his face and stifled a groan, his lips twitching. 'Mrs. Hunt is willingly throwing herself under the bus in the name of pettiness.'
"What the hell do you know?" Stefan hissed, his grip around her jaw tightening as he said icily, "The things that Seraphina bought me were exactly what I needed. I used them daily, and every time I did, I would think about her and love her even more... A materialistic woman like you would never understand that kind of simple love."
Elijah could no longer bear to listen to their argument, and carefully said to Stefan, "Mr. Hunt, is it possible that you're mistaken? Maybe it was Miss Everheart who bought some of these things for you?"
