"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..."

    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

    "Stefan Hunt!" exclaimed Renee in surprise.When Renee saw the tall figure standing behind Anthony and Jane, she was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out.Stefan Hunt was a businessman through and through. What did he have to talk about with Anthony, a famous scholar?Was he also here for Jane?"Ren, you're here! I missed you so much!"Jane, who was wearing a yellow skirt and had her hair tied into twin braids, fluttered like a butterfly to Renee's side. She smiled sweetly at Renee, her face as smooth and as fair as ceramic."I missed you too, Jane. It's only been a few days, but you've grown even prettier. Let me kiss you!"Renee held Jane's face and gave her a few big kisses.This warm sight pleased Anthony and his wife greatly."They get along so well. Makes me wonder if they were actually sisters in their past lives..." Sophia said with a smile.Anthony explained to Stefan, "Sophia and I don't have children of our own. Before this, we treated Ren as our daughter, and

    Livid, Mateo pulled the trigger without hesitation. However, he moved the gun less than an inch. The bullet passed by Liam's ear and hit an orange behind him.The fruit immediately blew up, its juices splashing on Liam's face."Aaaah!" Amber, terrified, trembled. Her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly tried to plead with Mateo. "Matt, cool it! Aren't you and Liam friends? You guys drank and chatted together in the past. You were so close to each other. How could you do this to him? Hurry up and put the gun away! If it goes off accidentally, it'll be over!"However, Mateo ignored her. His eyes were red as he glared at Liam. "Did you see the orange behind you? Let go of her now! If not, I'll blow up your head just like I did to that orange!""Is that all you got?" Liam taunted. He refused to let Amber go. He whispered to Amber, "Watch well. If he shoots me today, promise me not to marry such a man. I can use my life to knock some sense into you.""No!" Amber shook her head. Liam

    "What bad timing!" Mateo's indifferent voice came from behind Amber.Amber turned around and saw Mateo with a team of armed soldiers. Terrified, she quickly put some distance between her and Liam. She stammered an explanation. "Matt… It's not what you think. Liam and I came here to look for people. Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne are gone. Liam couldn't find them and guessed they might be in the orchard. He wasn't familiar with the orchard and asked me to guide him."Mateo looked livid, but still cracked a gentle smile. "Silly, you don't have to be scared. I know you're prudent. He must have forced you to come here. I don't blame you."He extended his hand and beckoned Amber toward him. "Come here. You're my fiancee. You should stand with me.""I…" Amber bit her lip—Mateo was right. She kept her head low, about to walk to him.But in the next second, Liam firmly grabbed her wrist. "You can't go!" Liam held Amber's wrist tightly and shot Mateo a challenging look."When did Amb

    Liam could only see through Amber's true thoughts if she showed her true self to him. "No, I do like you. I love you the most, and I want to marry you. But you neither like me nor want to marry me. You love freedom and Ms. Everheart. You love and yearn for the kind of life ordinary people like. So, I could only choose to give you up and let you get what you want. What else do you want me to do?" Amber was generally shy and reserved, but when Liam drove her anxious, she rambled a lot."Whatever I want is my business. You don't need to sacrifice yourself to grant my wish!" Liam held Amber's shoulders, acting like a kind senior. He tried to persuade her in earnest. "Marriage isn't a joke. Think it through. Do you like and know Mateo well? You won't be happy after marrying him, given the savage culture around here. And can you divorce him easily?""Matt will be nice to me. Even if he changes his mind, he'll still be nice to me because…my father is Benjamin," Amber replied.She chose

    Being a sensitive woman, Amber immediately noticed Liam's displeasure. She kept her head lower and explained carefully, "I want a chance to choose again… I want to choose another person to fall in love with. You know that Matt and I grew up together. We're childhood friends. He likes me and always protects me without asking for anything back. I feel that it's happier to marry a person who loves me instead of marrying someone far beyond my reach."For the first time, she expressed the exhaustion she felt from her relationship with Liam. She no longer wanted to be the one who kept fawning over him. She wanted to give up and relax by being the one who was loved and adored in a relationship."Tsk!" Liam snorted arrogantly. "You don't know Mateo. He's not a nice guy. He's just good at pretending. Maybe it's just his means to get what he wants, but you assume that he loves and wants to protect you."Liam hadn't made that statement to purposely put Mateo down. After standing against Mate

    Liam focused on holding Amber's hand and leading her through the orange grove. At the same time, he carefully scanned the ground and trees to find any related clues left by Renee and Leia."I don't care what others say, because I didn't do anything wrong," he said indifferently. "I hope you'll feel the same. I don't think you need to stop being my friend after choosing to marry Mateo. Am I not the friend you like the most?""That's different," Amber said.She followed Liam passively. At first, she couldn't adapt to it. After walking briefly, she felt better and found it easier to do. "Although I'm not good at my studies, I know men and women should keep a polite distance. You can't take my hand and sound righteous at the same time," she mumbled."Why not?" Liam retorted firmly. "When I was young, I always held my sister's hand wherever we went. I'm holding your hand because this fog is thick and the ground is slippery. I'm afraid of being separated from you. Just walk with me. St

    Liam walked ahead of Amber, then turned to glance at her. He faked a smile and asked, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I might take advantage of you?" "No, of course not!" Amber quickly shook her head and pushed her scarf up. It had fallen a little. "I just find it improper," she answered softly.She looked like a typical woman from Southeast Aeos, petite and with a small face. Her skin was tanned, and her facial features weren't very distinct. She was charming and reserved, exuding a girlish pureness. She had put on her country's special traditional clothes. The thick clothes, embroidered with various patterns, wrapped around her petite body and gave her an exotic impression. From afar, she appeared like a colorful oil painting. "Hey, it's not improper. If I wanted to do anything to you, I would've done that long ago. I don't have to wait until now." Liam sounded relaxed and prudent to ease Amber's anxiety."Don't worry. I've always regarded you as my younger siste

    Amber hurriedly turned Liam down. "You can't help with my affairs. I can handle it.""Well, tell me why I can't help you," Liam pressed. "I… I want to sew a wedding gown. And there are a lot of details that I need to add." Amber became competitive for no reason, and added stubbornly, "Your words aren't absolute. Yes, your business is important, but so is mine!""Oh, you want to sew a wedding gown. I can help you with that…" Liam said, relaxed. "Maybe I didn't get to tell you that I went to a small country in Southeast Aeos when I traveled around the world. I got to know a great sewing master. The pictures he sewed looked real like paintings! I found them interesting, so I learned from him. My sewing skills are probably better than yours. I can help you with that.""Really? You can sew?" Amber was full of surprise and admiration. Her eyes lit up. "I can't sew well. I want to learn from a great master too! If you can do it, can you teach me?""Of course!" Liam promised. "Can you he

    "Uh…" Amber looked like she was being put in a difficult position. She found it impudent for a man and a woman to be alone in the dense orchard at night. "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Liam frowned, puzzled. He felt that Amber was purposely avoiding him after expressing her desire not to marry him and making Mateo her groom instead.Before, she would always put on her favorite dress and stand at the entrance of the fort, looking eager no matter how late Liam and Benjamin returned from their work.Usually, she would carry a small bamboo basket containing the tea she brewed and dessert or food she had painstakingly prepared. When Liam returned, she would excitedly welcome him and inquire after him. Lately, she no longer did that. When Liam occasionally ran into her in the fort, she would bow indifferently at him and quickly brush past him as if they were merely acquaintances. They seemed distant.Honestly, Liam found it unfamiliar. He couldn't get used to the fact that Amber

    "I don't know. Why don't you ask the guards to get us some fried chicken and French fries? Didn't Mateo say that we can ask the guards for food?" Renee said.Leia's anxiety eased as she relaxed. She turned around and got out of bed, then gestured at the guard and ordered quite a lot of food. Meanwhile, Liam accompanied Benjamin to West River in the morning for a negotiation that yielded a good result. Benjamin's attitude had improved. He didn't demand an explanation from Liam about the affairs between Liam and Amber, and didn't ask about Renee or Leia either. Liam was delighted. He carried the unique desserts he had bought at the local market for Renee and Leia to enjoy. Upon arrival, he found that they were not in the room. "Weird. Where did they go?" Liam looked around, but found no sign of Renee and Leia. He casually asked a servant, but the servant stammered and insisted on not knowing anything. Anxious, Liam kept looking for them in the fort. Coincidentally, he ran into
