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
Renee pointed to the surveillance camera on the wall and said, "No secret stays buried forever. Thank god the entire process of your heinous crime was recorded."Briar was momentarily stunned, and then she burst out laughing. She said smugly, "That's the evidence you have? The surveillance footage? Go ahead and take it to court. We'll see who the judge finds guilty."Renee didn’t expect Briar to be so smug. She guessed Briar must have dealt with the surveillance footage already.However, this would not be a problem for Renee and her amazing hacking skills.It did not matter if Briar had deleted or destroyed the surveillance footage. As long as it once existed, Renee could recover it in minutes."Since you're so confident, let's see what happens in the trial three days from now."After saying that, Renee turned around gracefully and left.In three days, everything would be over.She swore she would make Briar pay a heavy price for her ignorance and wickedness!When she stepped
After leaving the hospital, Renee grabbed a cab back to Everheart Manor.In her hand was a USB flash drive that contained the hospital's surveillance footage she had downloaded.Renee transferred the data into her computer and quickly skimmed through the surveillance footage of the day of the incident.Sure enough, what should have been a video of more than ten hours had only less than an hour remaining, the rest deleted.All that remained was footage that disadvantaged Margaret. It seemingly reinforced Briar's claim that Margaret forced and and threatened Briar to get an abortion.‘How cunning of you, Briar Desrosiers!’Renee didn’t panic. She adjusted her rimless glasses and started typing a long string of codes, attempting to hack into the hospital's cloud storage system.Generally, public places such as hospitals, schools, and shopping malls would have cloud storage systems.These systems would back up video data such as surveillance footage.In other words, any video data
Renee held her chin in both hands like she was a flower, then said cutely, “You get to receive the heartfelt gratitude and adoration from this beautiful flower!""Nope, I need you to show more sincerity than that!" Haze waved her away, obviously disinterested. He casually lay down onto the couch and said while leisurely shaking his leg, “The price for my service usually starts at 100 million dollars. You obviously want me to do it for free. No way, Jose."Renee was pissed off.The guy had such a punchable face right now.However, she needed his help, she could only put on her best fake smile and asked, “Okay, tell me, what do you want?"Haze suddenly became interested. He sat upright and said seriously, "You know, I'm going to be thirty in another year or two. My family is worried about my personal life, so...""I refuse!"Before he had even finished speaking, Renee had made a cross with her hands, her expression filled with unwillingness. “I'm off limit. I've already sealed awa
After Haze left, Renee was left alone once more in the huge manor.Like she had done for many nights, she stood at the window, gazing out at the moon.The moon tonight was round and bright, hanging like a luminous pearl in the dark night sky.'The bright moon sends a message of love...'For some reason, Renee suddenly recalled the stranger she chatted with the other night.His profile picture was also a moon.The only message he sent her was also a picture of a moon.Renee subconsciously took out her phone, clicked on the picture of the moon, and zoomed in to take a closer look.Based on the angle, the picture should have been taken through the French window of a certain office.Perhaps the guy was a salaryman that had to work overtime until late at night, getting his value squeezed dry by his capitalist company?Renee smiled, casually took a picture of the moon, and sent it to him.It's weird. Although she had not chatted with the guy much, and most of the time it was just
