Chapter 189

Author: Mizuki Sei
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.

So why does it have to be a secret that it’s his brother’s baby? Wouldn’t it solve a lot of problems to be honest about it?

    "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

    "I..."Renee was stunned. She did not know what to say.Based on her understanding of Briar, there was no way the wicked woman would withdraw the charges due to her conscience.Then, it was most probably Stefan's order. But the heartless man was supposed to use Margaret to threaten Renee. Why would he back out of the war first?Did he find out that Haze hacked into the hospital's cloud storage system last night?Thinking of that, Renee quickly gave Haze a call.Haze answered the phone lazily. He was obviously still sleeping."You miss me already, Bonnie?”"Cut the crap. Did anyone find out about you hacking into the cloud storage system last night?""What's the matter? Why do you sound so anxious?""Cut the crap and answer me!""No one found out." Haze said confidently, "I coded the encryption. No one would know as long as I don't tell anyone."Renee fell silent. She frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, got it.""What's the matter? You..."Haze still wanted

    Macsen got up angrily and pointed at Renee. "You nearly got me killed by biting me! I didn't even make you pay for that, but here you are, trying to accuse me. Do you think I won't do anything to you?" "Of course you will. You nearly got us killed," Renee sneered, glancing at the glass of mulberry wine. "So, it's logical that you poisoned the wine.""No, I didn't!" Macsen raised the glass of wine and leaned backward to gulp it down. Then, he glared at Renee. "I'm not such a petty man!"Instantly, the air grew tense. Liam, sitting on Benjamin's right, tried to keep the peace. "Okay, stop bickering. Since Mr. Jenkins held this party today, he wanted us to bury the hatchet. We don't have to take to heart what happened a few days ago. The most important thing is to keep peace and come up with a win-win situation."Benjamin nodded and clapped. "Liam knows me the best. He didn't take the stab for nothing. At least I can see that he's sincere toward me, Gem, and the fort.""Oh, gosh!

    Three days later, Liam got better and could get out of bed.Benjamin held a party to express his apology to Renee and the others.Before attending the party, Leia held Renee's hand, frightened. "Is he plotting something?"After all, they had witnessed Benjamin's craziness. He could even kill his only daughter! It seemed unlikely that this was just an ordinary party."Don't be scared. We can fight them if worse comes to worst," Justin said casually as he walked behind them. He found a spot and sat in front of them.The army Austin had promised Renee was already on guard outside of the party, hence Justin's confidence. Besides, the Baldwin family was informed beforehand to come assist them if anything went wrong.Since he had absolute power, he was fearless."You're right. We can still fight them. I'd like to see what tricks that crazy Benjamin is trying to pull." Leia said.She stopped taking things too seriously, and casually walked into the place and took her seat. Xavier, sit

    "But…" Renee insisted."This is worth it. I was able to gain Benjamin's trust and calm his anger, which in turn helped us leave. I would've done the same thing again without hesitation."Liam looked relaxed and sounded casual, as if he didn't have a close brush with death. Rather, he treated the whole thing like a game he nearly got disqualified from and in turn rewarded for. The result was worth it. He took everything as an exciting adventure rather than a life-threatening incident. "Oh, you're always so casual. What do you mean, worth it? If that knife reached your heart or the doctor wasn't skillful enough, you would've been killed. And I… I might have to watch you die just because I left things to chance!" Renee yelled.She couldn't dwell on what had happened. The memory chilled her blood, and she hated herself for being so scheming. Renee could feel herself changing. Before, she was direct, bold, straightforward, and did everything she could for the sake of justice. Now, sh

    "It was just a test from my father. He had seen through people. He wouldn't make things difficult for the people who were nice to me," Amber explained.She knew what kind of a person her father was. At this point, she didn't want to keep it from Renee and the others either. She felt that it was more important to reassure them. "So, it really was a test!" Leia was enlightened, but failed to understand Benjamin. "Is he out of his mind? He didn't have to make it seem so real! If Liam didn't block the knife for you, he would have lost you!"Leia was filled with lingering fear when she recalled the terrifying scene yesterday. Benjamin's madness surprised her. He could even be harsh on his daughter! At the same time, Leia mocked Mateo's fake passion. He said so much, but he could still attack his so-called beloved woman at that critical moment.What amazed her the most was Liam. He claimed that he didn't love Amber, but he was the one who used his chest to block the attack for her. It

    Amber's emphasis made both of them awkward. It seemed like Liam had flattered himself.Renee and Leia happened to run into that scene when they opened the door. Feeling out of place, they wanted to leave and hide.Finally, Renee walked over and faked a smile despite the stiffness in the air. "Hahaha! Liam, I'm glad that you're awake!""Renee…" Liam's facade faded as he blinked. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" "We did, but you guys were so absorbed in talking to each other that you didn't hear us," Leia eagerly explained.There was a screen between the bed and the door. A servant informed Liam and Amber about the visitors, but they didn't hear that since they were absorbed in their conflict.Thus, Renee and Leia were forced to watch an awkward romance. They found it stifling, just like Liam and Amber."Okay. Let's not talk about that."Liam didn't want to recall that awkward scene and changed the topic. "I was just stabbed. Stop making a big fuss over it. And don't wo

    Nothing went wrong that night. Renee and Leia slept soundly after such an exhausting day. The next morning, a servant of the fort woke them up early. "Ms. Everheart, Ms. Osborne, Mr. Osborne is awake. You can visit him." "Great! Liam's awake!" When Leia heard that news, she got out of bed and quickly washed up.Renee, finally relieved, breathed a sigh. They reached Liam's room as quickly as they could. There, armed guards were around, guarding the place fiercely. "What's going on? Do they take Liam as a criminal?" Leia was furious to see it. She wanted to demand an explanation from those guards, but Renee stopped her.They had to bow down since they were staying in Benjamin's territory. It was up to him to treat them politely or otherwise. Even if they were locked up like prisoners, it was only expected.Liam had just regained consciousness and was seriously injured. If they offended Benjamin, he and the others would only suffer.Liam leaned against the head of the bed in

    "I'll bring Phoenix to see my parents. If she's okay with it, we'll get married. This army is the wedding gift my family prepared for her." Justin smiled, his tone eager."Stop fantasizing! Renee won't go there with you," Xavier said. He found Justin's plan ridiculous. "I don't believe you. Has Renee ever said yes? You keep saying you were going to do something big, but you might not even get anything out of it.""It's not up to you whether she'll say yes or not." Justin was indifferent toward Xavier's mockery. He seemed to be very confident, his eyes cold. "I told you that because I wanted you to pass the message to Stefan. I'm not trying to take advantage of the situation, because I already gave him a chance to win her back.""Then, I need to thank you on Stefan's behalf." Xavier didn't take Justin seriously at all, and instead waved provocatively at him. "We'll talk about that once you make Renee say yes. Bye!"Back in the guest room, Xavier held his phone, hesitating. In the en

    After a long wait, there was finally some news."Good news, everyone! Ms. Jenkins' blood matched Mr. Osborne's. Mr. Osborne is out of danger since he got a blood transfusion in time. He'll wake up soon. It's getting late, so you should all get some rest," the doctor said as he exited the blood transfusion room."Great! Liam's out of danger now!" Leia leaped happily, moved to tears. "Wonderful! I knew he'd be fine! Thank god!""Well, I told you not to worry, but you refused to listen. You were worried for nothing." Xavier was delighted, too. He watched her dotingly, happy that she had finally relaxed. At the very least, she would stop being cold to him and find fault with him.Unexpectedly, Leia still found Xavier an eyesore and glared at him. "What does it have anything to do with you? I don't want to talk to you!"Then, she held Renee's arm and yawned. "Let's go, Ren. We can finally sleep. I want to sleep with you tonight."The two friends returned to their room, leaving Xavie

    "No, Ms. Jenkins! If Mr. Jenkins learns you're donating your blood for another man, it'll drive him mad!" The doctor looked at Amber, too terrified to act. Everyone in the fort knew how much Benjamin cared about Amber. He would never let anyone off the hook if they harmed her, let alone donating so much blood."He won't be angry." Amber sounded indifferent. "He didn't even care about me. If it weren't for Liam, Matt would have killed me. I want to donate my blood to Liam. No one can stop me, not even Dad.""But…" The doctor was too scared to act rashly. "Do it. If not, I'll cut my veins to release the blood." Amber seemed to have anticipated the doctor's hesitation. She fished out a blade she got somewhere and abruptly placed it against her wrist. "Then, I'll die of blood loss. Is that worth it?""Oh, no!"The doctor never expected the usually gentle Amber would suddenly become so tough and stubborn. He stopped babbling and immediately started the blood transfusion.
