"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
Anthony, however, did not go along with Renee's wish this time. Instead, he said, "This is a secret between us two, so it's not that convenient. But we've finished talking now. I'm going to go cook something delicious for you. Why don't you two take Jane out for a walk?""Huh? But..."Renee was about to say that its “not that convenient”.But Stefan was faster than her. He said flatly, "I heard that there's a famous place called Sophora Road in BC University. I don't mind going out for a walk.""That's right. Sophora Road is a famous landmark of BC University. The sophora flowers are blossoming now too. When the wind blows, the white petals fall like snow. I remember there's a legend about the Sophora Road..."Anthony looked at Stefan, then at Renee. "It's said that when a man and a woman walk along the Sophora Road holding hands, they'll grow old together. Sophia and I, as well as many of the lecturers living in the specialist residential area, are loving couples. Maybe it's beca
