Chapter 70
Haze looked at Renee casually with his hands in his pockets and said pointedly, “What a coincidence. You’re here too, Mrs. CEO’s wife. A wonderful show is about to begin. Why don’t you stay for the show, seeing that you’re one of the main protagonists?”
Renee was not stupid. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Haze’s words.
It looked like his threat to expose her as Phoenix if she refused to work with him was not just an empty threat, but a real one!
Before Stefan transferred the law firm’s shares to her, her identity as Phoenix must remain a
secret!
“The famous Haze! I’ve long been an admirer of your skills. Could I perhaps have a quiet word with you?”
Although it looked doomed, Renee was unwilling to give up. She decided attempt a desperate Hail Mary.
You never know, Haze might take mercy on her plight and give her a chance.
“Of course.”
Haze’s long, narrow eyes shined with a glint of cunningness as he said with a smile, “Since the CEO’s wife personally requests it, who am I to refuse?”
Therefore, they both turned towards Stefan, who was standing between them.
The meaning was clear: Please step away for a moment.
Stefan’s already cold face was now covered in frost.
“You have five minutes.”
After telling Haze that with disdain, he walked into the CEO’s office without giving them a second glance. The cold air about him made him look like a walking iceberg, leaving a chill in
its wake.
As soon as Stefan was gone, Renee dragged Haze to a dark corner, grabbed his throat with her ng fingers, and fiercely pushed him against the wall. She said, “I warn you, you better not mess around. If you dare reveal my identity, I can’t promise I won’t break your neck!” (1)
Haze was not scared at all. In fact, his eyes were sparkling with excitement. “Who would have thought that the great Phoenix isn’t only good at coding, she’s great at fighting too. How talented. Now I want to work with you even more. Ah, what should I do?”

“Shut up!”
Renee was afraid someone might hear or see them, so she quickly covered his mouth with her hand and pressed closer to him.

Renee did not want to waste any more time arguing with Haze. She was prepared to fall out
with Stefan.
en without Haze’s intervention, the trouble Elon Barnes caused earlier was already enough to make Stefan fall out with her.
At this point, it probably would not matter anymore, so whatever!

Haze walked into Stefan’s office. He was in there for more than ten minutes before he came
back out.
Renee was waiting outside, ready for the storm.
Haze’s thin lips curled into a smile. He said to Renee, “You can go in now. I’ve told him everything. If you need help, feel free to call me.”
