The man stood upright as usual. His stunning face was indifferent and even seemed arrogant.He feigned ignorance of Renee and wanted to enter the elevator.Renee raised her chin. She initially wanted to ignore him, but the image of him drinking and howling with a group of handsome men came to her mind. Reminded of how he acted when he refused to let her go, she burst out laughing.Stefan stiffened instantly. His tall figure turned into a freezing iceberg, and he asked, "Why are you laughing?"Renee forced herself to change her facial expression back to an indifferent one and said, "Because I’m in a good mood!"He looked at her disdainfully. "Hmph. What could you possibly be happy about? You’re rather optimistic.""I am divorced and have escaped hellfire. I’m certainly feeling great!"Renee raised her delicate face and sneered gaily, "I'm not like you, who went drinking and crying late at night. You didn’t only hire handsome men to soothe your wounded heart. You even shamelessly
Stefan said nothing.He strode to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at the blue open sea.This scene was only visible to their two penthouses in the whole neighborhood. It was such a coincidence. It felt like there was an invisible thread tying him and Renee together.They might have looked at the same sea for many nights without knowing each other's thoughts…"Why did you want to move out?" After a long time, Stefan turned around and asked in a low voice.Renee was busy opening all the drawers in the living room to look for the quilt when Stefan threw the question at her, and she froze."Because I feel like it!" She replied perfunctorily and added a self-deprecating remark. "The main reason is that I know you don't like me. If we live next to each other, we’ll keep bumping into each other. So, I decided to move out to keep out of your sight and not affect your mood."He harrumphed, "You’re just playing the wise guy when you don't know anything!""Maybe I am.
Renee's heart skipped a beat. She put a hand on her belly awkwardly and pretended to be calm. "I wish I was pregnant so I could proudly marry into the Osborne family. Unfortunately, I have been enjoying myself too much since the divorce, and I gained weight from eating too much. Anyway, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hunt. It's indeed time for me to lose some weight. Liam is, after all, so young and vibrant. If I don't maintain a good figure, who knows when he will be seduced by another vixen, and what would happen to me then?"Stefan's face turned dark instantly. His eyes were like sharp blades cutting through her skin."Well, I wish you good luck then."The man grunted and put his hands in his pocket. Then, he left without looking back at her.Renee stood in place for a long time. She reflected on her words just now, uncertain of whether she had gone too far with what she just said.'He seemed to be very angry just now. However, what was he angry about when he did not like her
Briar sprang out of her recliner as if she was facing a strong enemy and shouted fiercely, "What are you doing here? Don't you know that trespassing is illegal? I can call the police to arrest you, you know!""You want to call the police?"Renee smirked. She took out her phone and dialed 9-1-1, and handed it to Briar. "Go on and ask the police to come so they can see how abusive you are.""When did I abuse anyone? As the mistress of this villa, I have the right to beat and scold my employees at will! These people should be punished when they make mistakes."She raised her chin as she smugly emphasized the word "mistress".The few servants who were beaten up from the torture cowered in a corner, not daring to say a word."The mistress of this villa?" Renee sneered and shot back, "How can you prove that? Is your name on the title deed? Suppose you can't prove your ownership of this villa. In that case, the employment relationship between you and the servants will be non-existent, a
Judging from Lydia's reaction, Renee knew that she remembered very clearly that she had left the baggage with the quilt in the villa."Go on. Tell me where my baggage is," Renee said coldly.Lydia looked troubled. After making sure that there was no one around, she said, "I am not going to hide this from you… That woman has cleared your belongings, and we don't know where she sent them. That woman is such a troublemaker. Recently, she’s been making a scene to either refurbish your room or remove all the plants you planted in the yard. In short, she doesn’t allow anything which belongs to you to remain in the villa. She’s just so difficult to serve!"Right at that moment, Briar, who was proudly sticking out her belly, came and slapped Lydia in the face. "Traitor! Who asked you to be such a tattletale?"Lydia's face turned as white as a sheet, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring even to breathe.Renee found it rather ironic when she thought of how high and mighty Lydia look
Stefan instinctively wanted to hang up when he heard Briar's voice. But when he learned that Renee was also there, he immediately turned the car around and headed back to Hunt Villa.Briar covered her swollen cheeks and said triumphantly, "Just wait. Stef will be here soon. You just hit me, and the evidence is all here. I shall see what will happen to you!"Renee put down her mobile as well and said with a faint smile. "You should also wait. The police will be here soon. It's so hot today… perhaps the detention center will be cooler."The numbers she had just dialed were indeed 911.Since there was no way she could beat this scoundrel, she would leave it to the law.Stefan arrived at the scene in a very short time. His grey supercar looked cool as it rumbled under the dazzling sun.The man performed a stylish drift with his car and pulled up in front of the door. Briar couldn’t wait to go to him when he got out of the car. Sticking out her belly and pointing to her red swollen
After listening to Renee's statement, the police cast a serious look at Briar and asked, "Is what she said true?"Briar's face paled, and she vigorously waved her hands in denial. "No, I didn't. She slandered me and threw my stuff out. She’s the criminal here. You should arrest her, not me!""You know clearly if I slandered you or not." Renee's pretty face was expressionless as she spoke with logic and clarity. "As owner of this property, I have the right to handle any item in the house. Your words have just proved that you trespassed. And one more thing, the items in the baggage you stole are very valuable. Add that into the charges, and you're looking at at least three years behind bars!""What nonsense!" Briar hurriedly defended herself and said, "There’re only a few pieces of garments in the baggage, and they are not branded anyway. I bet they’re worth less than two thousand. How can it be worth so much!"She regretted it right after she said that.Renee smiled in satisfaction
Renee was stunned. She hadn't expected Stefan to be willing to turn his back on his own family. If she remembered correctly, he had been very protective of Briar before this, despite the obvious fact of her being a two-faced bitch. He treated her like a fragile flower, touching it gingerly in fear of damaging it instead of holding it tight.Had he gotten tired of Briar so quickly?'Tsk. The attention span of a man really is worse than a child's! It was the right decision to divorce him!' Renee thought as she quietly celebrated her correct choice.When the two policemen saw Stefan's stance, they stopped hesitating and slapped the handcuffs on Briar's hands."Let go of me! Don't touch me!" Briar cried emotionally as she begged, "Stefan, I'm innocent! Believe me! Tell them to release me! The baby will be terrified! You can ignore me, but don't ignore the baby!" Stefan furrowed his brows, his cold face not twitching the slightest as he said, "Take her away!" "Don't worry, Mr. Hun
