Tsk tsk, if they really were to date, he would probably need to get a bigger insurance policy!
“Alright, you two, stop messing around. My two children already give me enough headaches. If I have to take care of you two as well, I'll collapse from exhaustion.”
Renee rubbed her temples with a tired expression.
Xavier childishly licked the lollipop and patted Renee on the shoulder. "Ren, don't worry. Stef is really good at solving problems. He'll take care of the problem in no time.”
Renee's expression changed slightly. She asked, "Does that mean you know what's going on?”
“I'm not sure.”
There's something behind Xavier's words.
Leia was angered. She glared at Xavier. "Can you speak like a human? Stop being so elusive.”
“Alright, I'll say it. Don't get mad.”
Xavier instantly turned into an obedient little boy. He told them honestly, "I tried to contact Stef too like you did, but my calls couldn't get through either, so I asked my old man. He said that he heard the H Group was betrayed. Their business partner, the Murphy family, suddenly betrayed them and joined forces with the H Group's rivals, causing the H Group to suffer attacks from multiple sides. It's a real headache...”
“The Murphy family?”
Renee's expression became a bit gloomy.
She knew that her reconciliation with Stefan would not be smooth sailing. It would offend many people.
“Yeah. I only recently learned that the Murphy family had been planning a marriage with the Hunt family. Stef and Seraphina had already chosen a date for the wedding, but you and Stef suddenly got back together and ruined all the plans. Mr. Murphy was so angry that he smashed several antique vases worth millions of dollars.”
Xavier sighed and said, "For many years, Stef and Seraphina have been getting along as buddies. Seraphina was afraid that Mr. Murphy would get back at Stef, so she knelt outside Mr. Murphy's room for three days to plead for mercy. Initially, Mr. Murphy was ready to just let everything go, but his young mistress threw a tantrum and insisted on getting revenge. After that... the Murphy family completely turned on the Hunt family despite years of friendship.”
“What do you mean? What does it have to do with you?”
Leia was still confused.
Renee told Leia and Xavier about the grudge between her, Seraphina, Jasmine Click and her son.
“I'm going to Beach City immediately. You two stay here and help me take care of the kids, please.”
Renee packed up the easel in a hurry.
“You can't go!”
Xavier grabbed her hand and refused to let her leave.
