Haze’s captivating eyes darkened a little as they flashed with a complex mix of emotions. He quickly
returned to his look of cynicism as he joked, “What are you afraid of? I’m offering you a prime cut of
meat on a platter! It’s right in front of you now, so why not just be bold and take a huge bite? If you can’t
chew it all today, then leave it for tomorrow! If you still can’t chew it all tomorrow, then leave it for the
day after that! I’m sure you’ll manage to chew everything eventually! Besides, isn’t that better than
refusing it and starving to death?”
“I don’t like the way you put it. Azure Group has been developing steadily. Who told you it is starving to
death?”
“You know better than anyone else whether or not it’s starving to death. Your best buddy Liam Osborne
almost dragged his family into the mess just so he could get enough money to help Azure Group stay
afloat. Azure Group is nothing but an old broken car that wouldn’t even start. Without any outside help,
there’s no hope that it would ever take you anywhere…”
“But that’s only temporary!” Renee interrupted. She wished she could retort Haze and teach him a
lesson but found that she had completely no confidence. She could only add, “You… You don’t know
anything!”
Azure Group’s current financial situation was indeed bleak. Although she believed that its future was
boundless, it was now just as Haze had said—nothing more than an old car that would not start—
doubtful that it would even get them anywhere!
“Look into my eyes, Renee…”
Haze displayed a rare sign of seriousness as he slowly assured her, “You may distrust everyone else in
the world, but you must trust me. My grandfather ordered me to help you rebuild the wealth and power
of the Everheart family!”
“Grandpa Baldwin wanted you to do that?” Renee asked, surprised.
“Why else do you think I’m here?” Haze raised his eyebrows, then helplessly sighed. “You must know
that I’m not the kind to dabble in business. If it were up to me, what I’d love to do most would be hiding
in a small dark room, writing codes. If Grandpa hadn’t ordered me to do this and told me that the
Everheart family was in trouble, that you were in trouble, and then commanded me to help you through
this hurdle, I would’ve never bothered myself with any of this. Don’t you think that I’d make better use of
my time cracking codes and hacking programs?”
“Don’t you know how many people had their greedy eyes on the land where Everheart Residence is?”
he asked. “Grandpa said Everheart Residence holds great significance to the Everheart family, and he
ordered me to get a hold of the land and keep it for you. If Rubio Pascal hadn’t been afraid of the
Baldwin family’s power and influence, do you think he would ever let go of it?”
“So it’s Grandpa Baldwin who’s been protecting Everheart Residence for me!” Renee uttered, still
considerably shocked and moved by the old man’s kindness. She hung her head low in shame and
added, “I lied to him four years ago. I thought he’d never forgive me, but it turns out that…”
“Well, you’re right that he was really angry because you promised to marry then, but you turned around
and suddenly got in bed with the Hunts. What you did was simply as if you trampled our name and
honor, deeply humiliating us. It enraged every single member of the Baldwin family. They even tried to
issue an order to have you killed so they could take revenge on you and the Hunt family…”
As Haze recalled the events that transpired four years ago, he was still struck by a lingering fear and
trepidation. Judging from what he knew of his grandfather’s temperament, not only was Renee’s life in
danger, but he was sure that his grandpa even planned to kill him!
“But later,” he continued, “Grandpa discovered that you’d vanished from this world, and it was uncertain
whether or not you were still alive. He thought of all the tribulations you had to endure in your life and
made up his mind to forgive you. He realized that the real instigators of the whole mess were the Hunt
family and Stefan Hunt especially, not you. You were innocent!”
“And that,” he concluded, “was why he ordered me to lend you a helping hand to defeat the Hunt family
and restore the Everheart family back to its old glory!”
Renee felt an immense pressure bearing down on her shoulders and somberly replied, “I’m moved by
Grandpa Baldwin’s well intentions, and I’m especially grateful for the squad that he sent me back then.
I didn’t even manage to train them properly. I’ve failed to live up to his expectations…”
“But,” she added, “I never thought of trying to defeat or exact revenge on anyone. All I want to do is to
make Azure Group stronger and more prosperous under my leadership, so I can show the world that
the Everheart family is not to be looked down upon and that their descendants can be great too!”
“That’s very noble of you,” Haze chuckled, “but it’s a pity that the world of business is like the
battleground for war. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. No one will play nice with you. You either kill or be killed.
If the man standing here in this room today wasn’t me, do you think you’ll ever get Everheart
Residence back? And what if the capital chain for Azure Group breaks again? Where will you find the
money to fix the situation then?”
Haze’s expressions were inscrutable, but his pointed inquiry immediately threw Renee into silence.
It was true. She had been too idealistic and naive. When the time came for Azure Group to really be on
the “battlefield,” who would play nice with her then?!
“This is the equity purchase contract,” said Haze. “Think about it carefully. Are you going to rely on the
powerful Baldwin family and get through this risky hurdle, or are you going to fight alone and then get
eaten up until not even your bones remain? I give you three days to decide.”
Then, with uncommon gravity and strength, Haze pushed a thick stack of contract papers toward
Renee.
He was confident that a woman as smart as Renee would make the wiser choice…
