"Haha! AIDS?" Jovan burst into laughter. "Which media company did that?

How brave. My cousin would be turning in his grave if he knew."

Renee rolled her eyes. "You can drop the act. Just own up to it if you did it.

I can tell you're the kind of person who'd do something like this."

Jovan stared at her for a long time, then asked, "Do you really have such a bad impression of me?"

He let out a long sigh, and he seemed a little hurt. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I really didn't start that

rumor. All I did was spread one rumor, which is about fifty percent true."

Seeing how mysterious he made it sound, Renee couldn't help but feel curious. "What is it?"

"Didn't you read about how Stefan's ex-wife and Jovan used to be together? Back then, Stefan came between the

two of them and separated them by force. Now that Jovan has made his glorious return, he swears to reclaim the

love of his life..." Jovan smiled giddily. "To tell you the truth, I'm the person who spread that rumor."

Renee was speechless. Who in their right mind would say that the rumor was partially true? It was clearly a hundred

percent false!

Jovan sensed Renee's anger, and explained patiently, "As the man in the rumor, it's true that I used to have a one-

sided crush on you. It's also true that I want to make you mine again... So, strictly speaking, it isn't a rumor, but my

way of announcing my intentions to the world!"

"Shut up!" Renee was fighting the urge to pour her coffee on him. Of all the men she'd met, Jovan was the most

thick-skinned!

"I don't care if you spread the rumors or not, but I'm sure you had a hand in those nasty comments. I suggest you

don't push it. Don't think you can bully someone just because they're gone. I'm his ex-wife, and I'm still alive. By

insulting him, you're also insulting me. I won't let you off the hook!" Renee said threateningly.

After speaking, she turned around to leave, not even glancing at the coffee or flowers. She'd already issued Jovan

the warning she wanted to. If he dared to do anything inappropriate, she wouldn't hold back!

Jovan smiled coldly as he watched her leave. "Do you really love him that much? What's so great about him? He

clearly hurt you, but you still miss him. Why are you still protecting him even when he's dead?"

Renee stopped walking, but she didn't answer Jovan.

"Was it because he was handsome, or was it because he was immensely wealthy? Or was it because he was H

Group's CEO?" Jovan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He slowly got up and approached Renee.

"Turn around and take a good look. I'm just as handsome as him, and I have money you can spend as you like. In

fact, I'll be H Group's CEO in a week. I'm much better than Stefan, and I love you more, so why do you keep pushing

me away?”

Jovan looked at Renee's slim figure, and recalled how she used to sing so passionately on stage. The memories of

her under the spotlight stirred up feelings in him that he'd been suppressing for years.

He just couldn't take it
