Chapter 148

Stefan woke up the next day with his head weighing a million pounds.

He looked around and saw Elijah sitting in front of the bed, observing him with a frown.

“Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. My mission is done. I can leave now.”

He let out a sigh of relief and seemed excited.

With Stefan completely out of it last night, all he could do was guard him the entire night, fearing Briar,

who was yearning for a chance with Stefan, would sneak in and take advantage.

Stefan rubbed his temples and frowned as he tried to recall everything that happened last night.

The only memory he had was playing finger guessing with Renee.

“Did I get drunk last night?”

He resumed his cold demeanor, sounding indifferent. “Based on my skills, there’s no way I lost control,”

he stated firmly.

Hearing this, Elijah rolled his eyes secretly.

‘Here we go again. Every time Mr. Hunt gets drunk, he will forget everything that happened and he

would deny all his actions after sobering up.,‘ he thought to himself.

He knew Stefan had that habit; therefore, he never allowed him to drink to the point of drunkenness. He

did, however, underestimate Renee, who caused Stefan to get intoxicated last night.

Elijah said seriously, “Yes. You didn’t lose control, but you went nuts.”

“Nonsense!”

Stefan stared at him coldly and said with pride, “I know my limits. There’s no way I will get that drunk.”

Hearing this, Elijah couldn’t help but chuckle. Stefan was trying to deny what he did last night!

He had never seen anyone who could be as shameless and so full of themselves as Stefan.

If he didn’t have proof of last night, he wouldn’t even have believed his own words, about Stefan getting

drunk.

“Mr. Hunt, you really have no memory of last night?” Elijah asked cautiously.

Stefan gave some thought to it before answering, “All I remember is that after losing to Renee, she left,

and you sent me home.”

“Well, that’s true, except you left out most of the details. Do you remember dragging me to a karaoke

place and began screaming your head off? You even pestered Mrs. Hunt and refused to let her go.”

Hearing Renee’s name, Stefan’s cold face softened a little as he denied it coldly. “That’s impossible!”

He could accept the fact that he screamed and sang in the karaoke room. After all, it had happened

before.

But pestering Renee and not letting her go was something he was certain he wouldn’t do, not to

mention that he was clear that he had no feelings for her.

He despised the touch of a woman; thus, refusing to let go of a woman he disliked was technically

impossible.

Elijah knew that Stefan would deny it till the cows came home, so he cleverly came prepared.

“Mr. Hunt, let me show you the proof.”

He took out his phone and opened the video he recorded of Stefan last night, and held in his laughter.

“Look at it for yourself. You really shocked me with how you simped over Mrs. Hunt.”

Stefan frowned as he took over Elijah’s phone.

Then, he saw himself tightly hugging Renee, clinging to her like glue.

The most humiliating thing about it was that several people tried but failed to pull him away. He could

almost hear himself pleading with Renee to stay.

“Delete it now!”

Stefan’s handsome face was stiff as he felt a wave of awkwardness wash over him.

He never thought such a thing would happen.

It was so embarrassing that he wished he could run away and never come back.

“Uhm… Mr. Hunt, I don’t think it’s possible to delete it. I was going to, but I accidentally uploaded it to

our official website. Although I deleted it immediately, there’s the possibility that some may have seen,

or even downloaded it.”

“WHAT?!” Stefan roared so loudly that the entire house could hear him.
