"I'm sorry, Ms. Everheart. This is a major issue, so I have to be honest with Mr. Hunt,' Dale said.
Facing Stefan's extreme oppression, Dale raised the glass of wine and chose to stand against Renee. He decided to tell the truth.
Firstly, he drank a glass of wine to boost his courage. Then, he told Stefan, "Ms. Everheart came to me before you did and proposed something. She wanted me to announce to the media that it was she who threatened me, which was why I made the exception to allow Ms. Garcia to teach in my school. In short, she wants to bear all the blame.
"What?" Stefan frowned, surprised. He had thought that Quinton must have instructed Renee to purposely make things worse and burden Hunt Enterprise. Unexpectedly, she...
"I must say something as an outsider, Mr. Hunt. Ms. Everheart is very kind, and is very much worried about you. She'd rather bear the blame than see you get burdened. She's so wonderful and saintly. She keeps her kind deeds from others...
Dale must have been drunk, as he started reciting a poem.
"She's like the candle that burns itself out to light up others, glowing and sacrificing itself without making a fuss." "Mr. Porter!" Great awkwardness gripped Renee while she listened to Dale, and she immediately stopped him. "I'm not that great. I offered that just to protect my brother and you. It has nothing to do with him."
"Hey, Ms. Everheart, you do care about Mr. Hunt very much. Otherwise, you wouldn't come to me and your brother wouldn't be involved. If not, this issue won't involve your brother, even if you don't come to me. Am I right?" Dale used his logic to disprove Renee's excuse.
Renee was struck speechless. Yes, Dale was right. If she wanted to protect Quinton, the best way was to stay out of the issue. As long as she hid from it, it would have nothing to do with her family. Yet, she eagerly stepped forward and wanted to take all the blame. She was just worried that the issue might get big and affect Stefan.
Stefan kept a gloomy face. After a long silence, he looked at Renee with a complicated gaze.
"Why would you something so stupid? I don't deserve such sacrifices from you."
He was touched when he learned that she wanted to ruin herself to resolve the problem, but he also felt sorry for her. She was able to sacrifice herself for a scumbag like him. He felt that he didn't deserve such kindness.
"You should hate me, and take revenge on me. You'll feel better that way," Stefan said bitterly, filled with gloom. "Humph! Stop flattering yourself," Renee snorted.
She certainly didn't want him to discern her stupid actions. She sneered and shrugged, acting casual and indifferent.
"Didn't I tell you? I did that so Hunt Enterprise won't get affected. I don't want my kids to get less property in the future. This has nothing to do with you, so stop being so smug."
"I'm not being smug." Stefan saw the truth in Renee's eyes, and felt sorry for her. "You've sacrificed too much for me. Promise me not to do something stupid like this again. I'll take care of this. All you need to do is make sure you and the kids are fine. That will be the greatest help for me."
He knew better than anyone that Hunt Enterprise could escape unscathed if Renee took the blame-it would be the best resolution.
However, it would produce a negative impact on Renee, Azure Group, and the Everheart family. Of course, he couldn't see his family get burdened.
"I told you, my actions have nothing to do with you. It was for the kids...for the two kids! Did you hear me?" Renee insisted.
