Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Liam picked up two glasses and filled them up - one for him, and the other for Stefan. "Here... a toast

from me to you. Thank you for giving Renee her freedom. It's a new beginning for her, and she's so

much more confident than before. You're a living saint!"

Liam downed his glass after saying that. He didn't just say that to be polite - he really did mean every

word. If Stefan wasn’t such a jerk and forced Renee to get divorced, she'd probably just be seen as

'Stefan's wife'.

Stefan looked at the glass Liam handed him, emotions whirling in him. Anyone could tell that Liam

didn't have good intentions, but deep down, he actually agreed with what Liam said.

To everyone's surprise, Stefan accepted the glass from Liam and chuckled. "Indeed... She's changed

after leaving me. She's like a fish that's returned to the ocean and a bird that's taken off to the sky.

She's found her own haven."

‘I thought a boring woman like her would suffer without the Hunt family's protection, and not many men

would like her, but now..." Stefan looked at Liam before shifting his gaze to his nephew, Julian. He then

shook his head with a half-hearted smile. "She's doing much better than I thought. I genuinely hope she

can be happy."

Liam nearly choked on his drink. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He never expected that

heartless man to say something so emotional... He sounded genuine too.

What Liam said next made him seem a little petty in comparison. "Well, Mr. Hunt, you're certainly very

diplomatic. Renee is doing great, and I bet there are people lining up all the way to Fraser just to

pursue her. It's a lot of pressure for me! However, you seem to be doing pretty good yourself...

You've only just ended things with Renee, but you've already found yourself a new woman. It seems

you change women like you change clothes!"

Liam thought Stefan might deny it. From what he observed, Stefan didn't seem particularly close to this

fake version of Renee. They looked like strangers.

However, Stefan pulled Shirley into his arms. "She's very naive and adorable. I do like her."

Everyone was shocked.

Although Xavier didn't know why Stefan was lying, he was loyal to him. "I bet you're surprised. Stefan

can't help it when he falls for someone... it was like love at first sight for these two!"

"Love at first sight?" Liam sneered. "Why does this girl look so much like Renee then? Are you telling

me you never fell for Renee, but you fell for this fake version of her instead?"

Stefan didn't say anything. Xavier, on the other hand, did. He leaned over menacingly and growled, "I

knew you were here to cause trouble. What is it you want?"

Liam laughed. "There's no need to get riled up. I told you... I just want to have a few drinks. Do you

have the guts to drink with me, Mr. Hunt?"

Before Stefan could answer, Xavier scoffed, "Why would Stefan be afraid? I'm on your side, Stefan.

Drink until he drops!"

Stefan rolled his eyes at Xavier. 'Thank you for sending me into his trap.'

Liam filled two more glasses with alcohol. "Join me... if you dare." Since Stefan was brave enough to

act like a scumbag in public, Liam felt what was doing was reasonable.
