Chapter 196

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    Renee arrived at Hunt Enterprise, and as usual, she was not stopped by anyone and was warmly welcomed by all the employees.Rachel, Stefan's secretary, was the biggest stan of the Renee-Stefan ship. Her eyes filled with excitement, and she received Renee enthusiastically."Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Hunt is in a meeting right now. Do you want to wait for him in his office, or should I inform him you’re here?""I'll wait in his office!""Okay, I'll take you there." Rachel nodded repeatedly.Generally, one could not go to the CEO's office without permission.But this woman was the CEO's wife. The rules did not apply to her.Renee entered Stefan's office and sat down in his chair. She turned left and right in the chair, feeling very comfortable.Her eyes suddenly fell on a crystal ashtray on the desk. She thought it looked kind of familiar."Rachel, could this ashtray be... the one I gave him a while ago?"Rachel's eyes instantly brightened. She quickly replied, "Yes, Mrs. Hunt, you sure ha

    "Pfft!" Renee burst out laughing despite herself.If anyone else had said that, she would not have felt that there was anything wrong with those words, but coming from the giant iceberg, it felt like a big fat joke."Hahahaha! Mr. CEO, did a ghost possess you or something? How could those words come out of your mouth? Oh, that's a good joke!"Stefan's handsome face grew colder and colder.He pursed his thin lips, looked expressionlessly at the woman who had bent over with laughter, and said slowly, "Is it really that funny?""Damn right, it is." Renee tried to contain her laughter and looked at Stefan mockingly, "You really are trying everything in the book to get me to withdraw charges, aren't you? Unfortunately, even though we've been married for four years, you still don't understand what kind of person I am..."You think if you say something nice to me, I'll do anything you say, just like old times?"Renee shook her head and laughed at Stefan's arrogance."Before, you were

    Under the night sky, a white private jet was parked in a private hangar a distance away from the city center.Briar, escorted by several strong-looking men, boarded the plane with trepidation."Stefan, I knew you would save me!"At the sight of the dignified man sitting inside the jet, the originally uneasy Briar excitedly threw herself at him.However, Stefan's expression was cold, maybe even slightly annoyed."Tonight, the jet will send you to Cyseal City, where you'll stay for the rest of your pregnancy. You will not make any contact with the outside world until the baby is born."His voice was devoid of emotion, and it flustered Briar."What's the meaning of this, Stefan? Are you trying to hide me away? How's that any different from going to jail?"Stefan's handsome face was expressionless as he coldly snorted, "You can choose to go back and go to jail if you want!""No!"Briar was very emotional. She immediately transformed into a weak, helpless girl with tears streaming

    "What? She killed herself?" Renee received the call on the way to the court. She was shocked.Zack was sitting next to her. Seeing her reaction, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?""The court said Briar committed suicide early this morning. Her remains have been sent to the crematorium.""That's impossible!" Zack said confidently, "Briar is a suspect in a court case, and the case hasn't reached a verdict yet. Even if she really did kill herself, according to the law, her corpse can only be dealt with after the legal investigation period is over. There's no way the corpse would be cremated this quickly, unless...""Unless someone wants to destroy the corpse to hide evidence or to substitute it with another person!""That's right!"Zack had handled a lot of criminal cases and had encountered all kinds of bizarre situations before. It was not the first time he had encountered a situation where the suspect suddenly “committed suicide” right before a trial.Renee thought hard abo

    Since she learned that Sandra would arrive back at Beach City at eight o'clock that evening, Renee had been very excited.She had been waiting to meet Sandra for a long time.As Zack said, when it came to handling corporate lawsuits, even on a global scale, Sandra was at least in the top five, perhaps even the top three.Renee happened to need Sandra's help in a lawsuit involving the change of management rights.It would be no exaggeration to say that if Renee won this case, her children and her would have nothing to worry about financially for the rest of their lives...That was why she asked for nothing but a tiny law firm during the divorce.According to Zack, Sandra had been in Calley for the last six months, dealing with a family business inheritance case. Coincidentally, it happened to be somewhat similar Renee's case.Now, Sandra had finally returned after winning the case, and Renee also saw the light of victory...Of course, this was assuming that Sandra would help her

    "You don't like them?"Renee's hand froze in mid-air. She looked slightly embarrassed. "Zack said purple carnations are your favorite. Looks like that guy doesn't know you at all. I'll punish him when I get back!""Then what flower do you like? I'll get a new bouquet for you immediately..."Sandra pushed her sunglasses up, lifted her chin, and said in a condescending tone, "No, he's right, I used to like purple carnations, but when I saw you holding them, I started to hate them."It was like a slap to Renee's face.Renee felt so embarrassed that her curling toes could make holes in the ground.If it was anyone else being so rude, Renee would have long retaliated.But the person was the elite beauty of the legal industry, Sandra Lee. Renee only felt that she was so cool, so arrogant, so dashing! She loved it!"It's okay, you can hate me, but the flowers are innocent, so please don't hate the flowers. These beautiful carnations will cry if you hate them..."Renee shamelessly con

    Sandra's expression changed slightly, but it was quickly replaced by cold indifference."The birthday wish of a person who has nothing to do with me naturally has nothing to do with me too. Don't think you can get me to work for you by using these petty tricks.""No, of course not." Renee said with a meaningful smile, "I just have a better understanding of how a mother thinks, that's all...It's fine if you're not curious about Jane right now. Feel free to ask me anytime you're curious."Renee raised an eyebrow smugly and said, "Jane and I are practically besties. We get along really well!”"Besties?"Envy flashed across Sandra's eyes for a split second.But it was soon gone like she had woken up from a dream. She said disdainfully, "How childish!"Renee was not angry. On the contrary, she could understand Sandra's feelings.Because she had used some special means to find out private information about Sandra that no one knew.Six years ago, Sandra Lee was just a small-time lawy

    "Wait, Mr. Osborne!" Hailey ran to Liam and tried her best to catch her breath. Then, she said to him, "Ms. Jenkins… Ms. Jenkins, she…""What's wrong with Amber?" Liam asked nervously. His anxious and worried expression showed that he wasn't indifferent toward her after all."Take this!" Hailey handed a plain box to Liam. "Ms. Jenkins is busy today and can't send you off. This is the gift she's been preparing for a long time. She wants you to have it.""What she's busy about? Is it troublesome?" Liam was worried about Amber. If she wanted to take over Benjamin's business, she wouldn't be able to handle it since the fort was a violent place full of fights. "It's something feminine. Please don't ask about that…" Hailey obeyed Amber's instruction and didn't explain much. She waved at Liam and added, "Take care. Don't worry too much about Ms. Jenkins. She'll be fine since she's Mr. Jenkins' only daughter.""What do you mean?" Liam held the gift with worry. "Did Benjamin find fault wi

    Benjamin didn't play any tricks as he truly wanted to let them go. He had come to his senses and realized that Liam was sincere toward Amber, thus he wanted to let Liam go.Besides, someone else had instructed him to do so. It was obvious who that was.The Jenkins family would have closer cooperation with Hunt Enterprise in the coming years. Moreover, this cooperation would help them earn money easily. It would be ridiculous of him to give up those profits just to satisfy his wrath.Before leaving, Renee and the others sat in the pickup truck except for Liam. He stood at the door and kept looking around. He didn't get into the car for a long time."What's taking him so long? Why didn't he get in the car? We can't leave if Benjamin suddenly regrets it!" Leia said.She sat beside the window and lowered it, about to wave at Liam before Renee stopped her in time. "Stop urging him. It's still early. Nothing will go wrong since Benjamin agreed to let us go. You have to give Liam some

    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.
