In the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward, Briar was lying on a hospital bed, looking very anxious.There were sufficient evidence and witnesses to charge her with stealing. She was currently on bail, pending trial. There were police officers outside the door watching over her.In other words, if Renee refused to drop the case, Briar would go to jail for at least three years.Although she did not have to stay in jail during the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, she would be after that.More importantly, her life would be completely ruined once she was convicted of a criminal offense,If she had known that Renee was such a tough opponent, she would have kept low and stayed far away from Renee!Briar had tried calling Stefan many times, but he didn’t answer any of her calls. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her. She did not know if he would even save her.She had really made a mess of things this time!At that moment, her attending physician came in. He closed the doo
After the doctor left, Briar rubbed her belly, angry and disappointed. She said, "You should have done better. God gave you a chance to be born into the Hunts, but you actually have a genetic defect... You're gonna stop developing anyway, so don't blame me for being cruel!"What the doctor meant was obvious. Regardless of whether the baby was aborted or not, it would not survive.In that case, she would much rather let the baby die in a miscarriage so that she would not be held responsible.As for how the miscarriage would happen...Briar's eyes became poisonous. Didn't that bitch Renee despise her? In that case, it's completely possible for Renee to “lose control of her emotions” and kill her baby.When that happened, Stefan would definitely make the person who killed his dead brother's child pay. Briar would not even have to do anything else and Renee would die a miserable death.Thinking of that, a content smile crept onto Briar's face. Her touch on the belly became a lot gent
Margaret came from a family that practiced medicine. She knew how to take care of pregnant women and also how to get rid of a pregnancy.However, due to moral considerations, she had never done such a cruel thing.But if it could help Renee and Stefan get back together, she would do it even if she would go to hell for it!"Ms. Desrosiers, are you sure? If you really don't want this baby, I can make a medicine for you to get rid of it without any pain. It won't have any impact on your fertility either," Margaret confirmed with Briar again.She would only do it if Briar truly wanted to abort the baby.She would not force Briar. After all, only a mother could decide the life and death of a baby. Others could only contribute their opinion at most."I'm sure!" Briar nodded earnestly and said, "I wish my child could be born into a loving family. I wish that his father not only loves him but also loves his mother. Otherwise, there's no happiness to speak of. Obviously, this child came a
Margaret turned around and found Stefan standing at the door of the ward, staring at her coldly."Mr. Hunt, I..."She intended to explain herself, but the abortion medicine in her hand was still steaming hot. She could not immediately think of a good explanation.Briar hid behind Stefan, acting like a weak, helpless woman. She cried and said, "Margaret, I told you, I know I've done something wrong, so I promise I'll leave Stefan, but the baby is innocent...”"The baby is my life! I won't let anyone hurt it! Please go back and tell Ms. Everheart that if she has any grudge against me, she can take it out on me, but don't hurt my baby!”Briar's words made Margaret flush with anger. She said emotionally, "What's the meaning of this, Ms. Desrosiers? That's not what you said just now. Aborting the baby was your idea too. Why are you pretending to be the victim now? You're blatantly lying!""The one who's blatantly lying is you! I love my baby so much. How could I bear to abort it? You
At Everheart Manor, Renee was sitting beside a window on the second floor. She had been staring out of the window for a long time, but she had not seen Margaret at all.She took out her phone and tried calling Margaret again, but her call still could not get through."That's weird. It's getting dark. Why isn't Margaret back yet? Where is she?"When she woke up this morning, Renee saw a note Margaret had left on the dining table, saying that she was going to take care of some personal matters and would be back soon. She told Renee not to worry.But an entire day had passed, and Margaret still had not come home. She could not even be contacted. Something was wrong!Renee was worried that Margaret might have run into trouble. Considering her recent situation, many people were waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.Seeing that the sun was about to set, Renee could not sit still any longer. She grabbed a jacket and went out to look for Margaret.The moment she stepped outside
"It's not important."Stefan did not answer.Some secrets he must carry to the grave—for the good of everyone."You just have to know that my relationship with her is not like what you think. You don't have to make her life hell out of jealousy.""Hahaha!" That made Renee laugh. She was laughing at the man's arrogance, as well as his cruelty.How could a man say such a shameless thing to his ex-wife?Briar was obviously the one who had done horrible things, but since the beginning of the conversation, he had been defending Briar and making Renee out to be the bad guy instead!"You're really funny, Stefan. You think I'm sending Briar to jail because I love you, and I'm jealous that he took you away from me?""Isn't that the case?" Stefan asked coldly.He believed that, although he had little experience in love, he had met a lot of women, so he could tell women's intentions towards him."No, no, it has nothing to do with you. I'm just petty, and I always get my revenge. Briar r
Upon hearing that, Renee's face instantly changed. She questioned him, "So it was you... what have you done to Margaret?""You should ask your nanny what she did instead."Stefan's expression was still extremely dark. He said coldly to the emotional Renee, "Your nanny tried to force Briar to get an abortion. Are you gonna tell me you know nothing about it?"He paused for a moment and continued, “Let's each take a step back. I'll let Margaret go, and you let Briar go.”Stefan felt he was being generous enough to Renee.Briar's child was his brother's only descendant in the world. If it had been someone else doing what Margaret had done, Stefan would have made sure that person disappeared without a trace!"Impossible!" Renee shook her head and said firmly, “I know Margaret very well. She wouldn't do such a thing! As for me... although I can't wait to see Briar go to prison, I never thought of harming her child. Even if a pregnant woman is found guilty, she won't be put into prison
Renee and Zack walked out of the detention center.Renee could hardly wait to ask Zack, "You said that there's a way to clear Margaret's name and also give Briar Desrosiers a heavier punishment? What exactly do I have to do?""It's actually quite simple." Zack said, "If Margaret isn't lying, then her subjective motivation to harm Briar cannot be established, and it naturally wouldn't constitute a criminal offense. In that case, she can even sue Briar for defamation.“If Margaret is in a bad health condition during this period, and it so happens that Briar's slander causes her emotional trauma, then Briar can also be charged with a criminal offense. Under the criminal law, the penalty for emotional trauma is no less severe than physical trauma."Renee listened very attentively to every word he said. She instantly asked, "So, as long as I can find a way to prove that Margaret didn't lie or that Briar lied, we can win the case?""Correct!" Zack continued, "My suggestion is to find ev
