The air in the room was thick with tension as Seraphina leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with a confidence that bordered on madness. She had just dropped a bombshell—one that should have shaken Renee to her core. And yet, instead of despair, all she received was a calm, almost amused stare.
“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t mind ruining Stefan in order to make him mine,” Seraphina declared, her voice dripping with venom and a chilling sort of certainty. “He’ll know how important I am to him once he’s left with nothing and nobody. Then he’ll come back to me.”
She smiled. It was a sinister, knowing smile—the kind of smile that promised destruction without a single ounce of remorse.
Renee let out a derisive snort. “How ridiculous!” She didn’t even raise her voice. Her calm was a weapon in itself. “He’s a human being, not a toy. Do you think you can just ruin him because you want to? And besides… he’ll never be alone. His parents, his family, the kids, and I won’t leave him no matter what position he holds.”
Seraphina’s smile faltered for just a moment, but she quickly recovered, her chin lifting in defiance. “You’re just saying that because you haven’t experienced it yet. If he becomes a target of scorn, and bad things start happening when you’re both together… will you still stay with him?”
There it was—the threat hidden beneath silk and sweet words. Seraphina wasn’t just warning Renee; she was promising misery. But Renee refused to flinch.
She shook her head slowly, as if the very idea were absurd. “That day will never come.”
“Why not?” Seraphina pressed, her tone sharp and harsher now. “Hunt Enterprise is coming to an end, and his body can’t hold on for much longer. By then, everyone will despise him. He’ll end up with nothing. He’ll just be another worthless person saddled with debt. Don’t tell me you’ll still stick by him even then?”
The words hung in the air like poison, meant to infect Renee’s resolve. But Renee’s heart had been forged in fire. She met Seraphina’s gaze with unwavering clarity.
“Firstly, he will never be worthless,” Renee said, each word landing like a hammer. “Secondly, I’m not a pushover. Even if he falls, I can take his place. Although I’m not rich, I own two small companies with pretty good profits. They’re enough for us to lead a worry-free life.”
And what companies they were. Renee was referring to the newly rising Azure Group, a technology company making waves in the industry, and KCL Holdings, a long-established enterprise with strength that ran far deeper than anyone could measure. Seraphina had no idea that Renee was the silent mastermind behind both. If she had even the slightest inkling of how powerful Renee truly was, she would likely have slunk away in shame on the spot.
But Seraphina was blind—blinded by her own arrogance and obsession.
“Hmph!” She crossed her arms, a sneer curling on her lips. “They’re only two small companies. It’s just wishful thinking to believe they’d be able to pay off the debts of a large company like Hunt Enterprise. If I were you, I’d break up with Stefan for his own sake, so he won’t be targeted anymore. Then he would gain my family’s support and have the chance to win instead!”
Her words dripped with false charity, as though she were offering salvation. It was the same poisonous offer she had made years ago—the same manipulation that had torn Stefan and Renee apart the first time.
Renee laughed again, but this time there was a bitter edge beneath the lightness. “I’m sure you persuaded Stefan like this back then. You promised to help him through the crisis by asking him to break up with me. Or… perhaps you forced him to choose between me and his company’s survival. You made him believe that he was protecting me by letting me go. Well, he believed you. He broke up with me. And now you’re trying the same trick again—only this time, you want *me* to leave.”
Renee straightened her back, her voice turning firm. “But I’m not as noble as Stefan. I enjoy being with him, and I don’t want to break up with him.”
A deep, frustrated fury flashed across Seraphina’s face. She jumped to her feet, pointing an accusing finger at Renee. “How dare you! How could you be so selfish? Didn’t you hear what I said? He’s doomed! Do you want to see that happen?”
“Selfish?” Renee grinned, and the warmth of that smile sent a chill down Seraphina’s spine. “You’re the one who taught me that women should only consider their own welfare and happiness. What’s wrong with a little selfishness?”
“You… You can’t do this!” Seraphina stomped her foot in anger, her composure finally cracking. She looked like a child throwing a tantrum after losing a game she was certain she had already won. Her mouth opened to fire off another attack—
But before any more venom could escape her lips, a cold splash of water struck her square in the face.
*Splash!*
Seraphina gasped, choking and sputtering as water dripped from her hair, her cheeks, her chin. She couldn’t even open her eyes. “What—What?!”
“Bad woman! Get out of my house right now, or I’m going to use a bigger gun!”
There, standing like a tiny warrior, was Adie. His small hands gripped a water gun with fierce determination, his eyes blazing with a protective fury far beyond his years. He had seen enough. No one—*no one*—was going to talk to his mother like that.
For a moment, the entire room froze. Seraphina stood there, drenched and utterly defeated, while Renee felt a bubble of warmth and pride swell in her chest. The tension that had been suffocating the room was suddenly replaced by something else entirely—a quiet, heartwarming certainty.
No matter what storms came, Renee would never face them alone.

## Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was *so satisfying*! I loved seeing Renee hold her ground with steel in her voice and fire in her heart, refusing to be manipulated by Seraphina’s poisonous “advice.” The way she exposed Seraphina’s old tricks and flat-out refused to play the martyr was empowering. And then Adie? That little hero with his water gun absolutely stole the scene! It was funny, heartwarming, and the perfect way to cut through the tension while showing exactly who the true family is. Seraphina’s obsession and ruthlessness are chilling, but Renee’s calm confidence and the ultimate show of loyalty from her son made this chapter unforgettable.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Now that Seraphina has been humiliated and rejected in the most literal sense, she’s going to be even more desperate—and desperation makes her dangerous. I predict that Seraphina will no longer try to break up Stefan and Renee through words alone. Instead, she’ll escalate her attacks, likely moving against Azure Group and KCL Holdings once she discovers the truth about Renee’s hidden power. Meanwhile, Stefan’s health may take a turn for the worse, forcing Renee to step into the battlefield herself. And just when Seraphina thinks she has the upper hand, she may realize that the woman she’s fighting is far more than she ever imagined.
