”Bro, did you watch your wife's stream just now?”
Xavier rushed up to Stefan with an excited look on his face and immediately asked, "Tell me honestly, are you the stupid top donor who fell for their trick?”
Stefan appeared disinterested. While flipping through the documents in his hand, he said expressionlessly, "What stream?”
“Stop pretending. There's no way you didn't know about something that big. Moreover... it's your wife's live stream! There's no way you would miss it!”
Stefan didn't even look up. "I'm busy.”
What he meant was: Shut the hell up!
Xavier knew Stefan would not admit it. After all, the guy had always been proud.
Therefore, he snatched the phone that Stefan had placed aside before Stefan could react.
“Your phone is turned off. That's even more suspicious. I have to check it!”
Xavier tried to turn on the phone.
“Give it back!”
Stefan lifted his eyes and gave Xavier a death stare.
Xavier gulped and immediately changed his mind. He obediently put the phone back in place and said, "Bro, so what if you watched it? You don't have to feel embarrassed about it. It's nothing embarrassing.”
“You know what's embarrassing, though? When you turned half the world upside down to find your wife, but not only did you fail to find her, you even got tricked by her. Now that's... pfft hahaha... now that's embarrassing...”
Xavier originally intended to talk to Stefan earnestly.
But when he recalled what happened four years ago, he could not help bursting out into laughter. Stefan had rushed to a certain island to find Renee, but not only did he fail to find her, he even got tricked by her. He had to beg over a hundred island inhabitants before he managed to escape.
What's worse, the video of what he said to the island inhabitants was posted on the H Group's official twitter account for five whole minutes! Talk about public humiliation!
Since then, Xavier and Christopher had been laughing regularly at Stefan about the video for their personal amusement.
Xavier advised earnestly.
Stefan said coldly, "There's no need.”
“Bro, why are you so stubborn? You're obviously not over her. Who are you trying to fool?”
“It's over between us. If there's even a sliver of possibility left, I would have looked for her long ago. I wouldn't have waited until now.”
Stefan said with a serious expression.
He knew very well that over meant over. Getting hung up on it would not be wise.
“Are you sure it wasn't because you weren't able to find her?”
Xavier's mockery was met with Stefan's death glare. He immediately changed the topic. "Well, if you're well and truly over her, I won't hold back anymore... To be honest, the third highest donor today is none other than yours truly!"
Stefan reflexively asked, "If you're the third highest donor, then who's the second highest?”
