Chapter 319

Author: Mizuki Sei
It was already late at night when they arrived at the Baldwin residence. The place was an Elizabethan-era courtyard building, and was divided into four courtyards in the south, east, north, and west. Each courtyard was elegantly decorated with pavilions, carved railings, and jade.

Renee’s room was in the East courtyard, next to Justin’s.

“Brat, you'd better be a good host and help Ren settle in so she'll start envisioning this place as her home,” Sophia ordered Justin solemnly before returning to her room to rest.

“Don’t worry, Mum, I'll take good care of my girlfriend,” Justin sighed.

“Hmm. Since she’s your girlfriend, the two of you should be staying in the same room. Why get a separate room?”

“Mom, I told you that she’s shy. We’re not married yet, so how can we stay in a room together?” With that, Justin gently pushed Sophia out of the room and said, “Go to sleep. We want to spend time together.”

When Sophia heard this, her eyes shone with excitement. “Yes, please enjoy your t

    Honestly, Justin was an attractive man, but Renee wasn’t familiar with him yet, so his actions weirded her out.She ducked out from under him and pushed him against the wall, twisting his arm behind his back. Justin let out a muffled groan, his charming face smashed against the wall.Renee growled menacingly in his ear, “You'd better behave around me, brat. Don’t try to flirt with me or I’ll tear your limbs off!”“Ah! It hurts. Boss, let me go!” Justin yelped, not expecting her to be this strong. He squealed so loudly that the entire courtyard could hear him.When Sophia heard this, she smiled happily. “Good! Justin didn’t fail me.”Inside the room, Renee only let Justin go after teaching him a lesson.“Phoenix, you’re a girl, but you’re also a hacker and a fighter. Who would dare to marry you if you’re this fierce?” Justin groaned and rubbed his neck, which had almost been snapped by Renee, keeping his distance as he teased her.“Are you still going to talk nonsense?” She held

    Renee had not anticipated the wardrobe to be stuffed with branded clothes, shoes, and bags in her size. It looked like they had bought the entire collection of a luxury boutique for her!Again, she felt guilty when she saw how much the Baldwin family cared about her. She decided that after sending Francine away, she would come clean to them and ask for their forgiveness!She cut out a few black and white shirts, and soon enough, she had managed to stitch together an outfit that closely resembled the uniform of the Baldwin family's employees. After she changed into the clothes, she sat in front of the makeup table and put on makeup that made her look older, then tied her hair in a low ponytail.“Not too shabby, Renee!” Renee couldn't help but grin with delight when she realized she resembled the Baldwin family's workers.It was late at night.A few servants had gathered in the Baldwin residence's East garden to exchange gossip.“I heard that the girlfriend Master Justin brought wi

    Renee felt her pulse quicken but she kept calm and said, “Really? I don’t see the difference. It’s the same style but different material.”“Same style but different material…” The servant touched Renee’s clothes and scoffed, “This is actual silk. There’s no way such a luxurious material would be used to make a servant’s uniform!”‘What incredible eyesight! It's no surprise that even a servant of the Baldwins is so clever,' Renee thought, thoroughly impressed.However, she didn’t panic. She remained composed and said confidently, “Maybe it’s an upgrade. The Baldwins are a powerful family with high social status, so it’s not surprising that they want their servants to have good clothes. Are you trying to question the Baldwins’ decision?”“No. That’s not what I mean!” The servant immediately explained, “The Baldwins are the most powerful family in the world, and I am loyal to them. I'm simply cautious when it comes to certain things.”“Should we see Madam Sophia to confirm whether sh

    The servant left afterward because she saw the honest look on Renee’s face and was certain she wouldn’t do anything daring.Right after she left, Renee ran to the hut.It looked like a shabby hut from the outside, but the material used was very advanced. The walls were made from frosted glass.She could see everything that was happening inside the house. She saw Francine screaming furiously, hitting the door, and stomping her foot angrily. Renee even saw Francine picking her nose.However, Francine couldn’t see the outside world at all—she couldn't see anything besides the white walls around her.“Hahahaha. Madam Francine, now you know what suffering is. Who told you to come here and pick fights? You deserve it!” Renee leaned against the wall and observed Francine, amused at the woman’s actions.Although she had seen Francine in a terrible state before, this seemed to be the worst. However, there was something quite funny about the whole picture.Renee took her time to record Fr

    Renee’s words made Francine hesitate, and she sighed. “You’re right. As important as you are, my son is the priority at the end of the day. I can’t cause trouble for him!”“Finally you’re thinking straight!” Renee let out a sigh of relief and pointed at the hole. “Go now.”Francine held Renee’s hand and said seriously, “Let’s go together. I’m not the kind of person that'll put others in danger. I can’t let you stay here!”“I’m fine here. It’s a lot better than being in the Hunts, to be honest. They won’t hurt me, but I can’t say the same if I ran away with you.”Francine's eyes softened in regret when she heard Renee’s words. “The Hunts mistreated you in the past, and for that… I apologize. I wasn't mean to you earlier because I hated you. It's just that I thought you and Stefan wouldn't be happy together since you didn't have feelings for each other, so I wanted you to leave him… I’m not actually an evil person.“I promise I won’t be mean to you anymore. I won’t push you to get p

    Renee thought for a while before she replied, “Your house is very beautiful, so I decided to take a stroll and look around. But during my stroll, I had to pee, so…” To avoid Justin’s suspicion, she had to sacrifice her image.“Oh, I see…” Justin smirked and said, “I should’ve come earlier then.”“You pervert!” Renee felt guilty for lying to him, so she tried to push the blame on him. “If you keep this up, I’ll go home tomorrow and stop this whole act.”“I’m sorry, my bad. I won’t joke around anymore. Why are you dressed like a servant, though? And your makeup looks weird too…” Justin gave her an odd look.“What do you mean by that? This is how I look with a bare face. Do you find me ugly? And I got this shirt from the closet, it looks nice, so I wore it. Are you trying to say that I look like a servant?”“No. I…” Justin was lost for words.“There’s no need to explain. I’m tired, so I want to rest now!” Renee exclaimed and left immediately.Justin watched as she gradually disappe

    Renee's instincts told her it was from Stefan since the screen showed that the call was from Beach City. She wanted to ignore it at first, but her phone wouldn't stop ringing.Sophia looked at her fondly and gestured for her to pick it up. Renee did not want to make her suspicious, so she pretended to be calm and answered the call."So, you finally decided to answer the phone!" Stefan's icy voice from the other end of the phone made her shiver. It brought back flashes of her nightmare earlier, but she played dumb and said, "What? An insurance company? I'm sorry, but I don't need insurance. Goodbye!""Renee, don't you dare hang up. You-"Stefan's threat was promptly cut off as she ended the call."Hmm, my phone number must've been leaked. I've been receiving tons of calls from these kinds of companies. It's so annoying!" Renee calmly explained to Sophia while subtly blocking the number.However, another number called soon after, and then another. Every time Renee blocked one num

    "Everyone's here now. Ren has slept enough, so let's dig in." Sophia seated Renee at the table and said cheerfully."Good morning, Grandpa Austin, Uncle Jack, and Justin." Renee greeted them politely and smiled broadly at them."Did you sleep well last night?" Austin looked at Renee fondly. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her."I slept very well last night. Thank you for your concern." Renee nodded slowly. She was very experienced in all this, since this was how she survived in the Hunt family for four years. She had emerged unharmed, thanks to all the masks she wore."Really?" Justin suppressed his laughter and asked, "Weren't you walking around in the courtyard in the middle of the night? You even energetically fixed a hole in the wall! I thought you couldn't sleep because you weren't used to the environment."Renee glared at Justin, fighting the urge to reach over and choke him. 'Damn that troublemaker! He should know who I was trying to help and why I was forced t

    Alexander took a deep breath and analyzed logically, "This wasn't Stef's style. If he wanted to snatch her away, he would have done it openly in front of everyone. But this trick was cunning and dishonest!""Yes, you're right, but this is a special case. If he didn't use a trick, his woman would marry someone else. It's normal for him to be restless." Although Francine agreed with Alexander's analysis, she felt that Stefan could do anything if it concerned Renee. Naturally, he would stoop this far. "Regardless, we have to leave," Alexander whispered to Francine, sensing danger. "Austin has always been decisive and cruel. Since Stef humiliated him, I'm sure he wouldn't let Stef off easily. We're in danger too.""Is it that serious?" Francine looked at Austin, who was standing on the stage. He coldly ordered his assistant about something. It seemed like he wasn't that crazy. "I don't care what he'll do. We have to get out of North City right away because this city is controlled b

    "What?! She's gone?" Justin's face fell immediately. He grabbed the collar of the person who came to inform them and demanded coldly, "What do you mean?! Why is she gone for no reason?""We… We don't know!" That person looked at Justin while trembling and reported everything. "When we got there, we found no one else in the makeup room except the makeup artist lying on the ground. We didn't see Ms. Everheart, either. We don't know what happened!""Something must have gone wrong with her!" Justin pushed that person away without hesitation and rushed toward the makeup room."Hey, Justin! What are you doing?" Sophia watched Justin disappear in front of everyone. She wanted to pursue him but failed.Everyone below the stage fell into an uproar and discussed among themselves endlessly. "The bride went missing all of a sudden! Did her ex-husband come for her?""It's possible. They were once madly in love with each other. Plus, the Hunt and Baldwin families were in conflict for many yea

    On the surface, everyone felt that Justin was passionate and respected the bride well. However, only he knew that he was just terrified. He was afraid that the reality might exceed his anticipation. He was terrified to find that he was betrayed in the end when he had trusted Renee that much and treated her so sincerely."Justin, what's going on with you? How could you talk about that at such a time like this? The most important thing now is to make her come out and have this engagement ceremony. We should do the guests justice. If not, everyone will laugh at us after we've kept our dignity well for so many years!"Sophia couldn't understand his hesitation. They were just going to urge Renee to appear. It had nothing to do with their patience or ability to take good care of Renee.Both Alexander and Francine looked at each other in confusion."Dear, did you do anything?" Alexander asked Francine softly.If Renee suddenly failed to attend the ceremony, it might have been Francin

    Renee was furious—he was ridiculous!"You won't allow that?" She snorted and looked at him as if he were crazy. "Who do you think you are? You can't meddle in my life!""I'm nobody, but I know that I don't want you to marry another guy." The man approached Renee, wanting to catch her."Stay away from me, or I'll get somebody! You should know how powerful the Baldwin family is in North City…" Renee spat coldly. She did not want to make things too ghastly, so she wouldn't alert the Baldwin family if she could help it. The man sneered wickedly. "Yes, the Baldwin family is strong. So? Even if they're strong, they can't fight against my cunning means!""What do you mean?" A bad feeling gripped Renee. She wanted to ask more questions, but found herself dizzy. Her surroundings became blurry. "I'm so dizzy! What…did you do?" The next second, she staggered and fainted.He firmly caught her and whispered, "You've suffered a lot, so I'll let you rest a bit.""Ah! You… You…" The make

    "You flatter me." Renee smiled, sadness in her eyes. She recalled the day she was about to marry Stefan many years ago. The young female designer responsible for her makeup had praised her the same way. At that time, she had recently lost all her family members and was gripped with excruciating pain. Her waist had been much slimmer. She looked pitiful but bewitching. "Don't worry! Master Hunt is a great man. He'll be nice to you and protect you. You guys are a perfect match."Renee remembered that the makeup artist used a makeup blender to soak her tears and firmly told her that. The artist at that time also felt that Stefan would be her protector for the rest of her life. Renee had a crush on Stefan for many years. He was the ray of light that had saved her from her despair. Although she was strong, she couldn't help but regard him as her savior. At that time, she never imagined spending the rest of her life with someone else other than him. Many years passed since then.

    Twenty minutes ago, Renee's gown was accidentally splashed with wine. Hence, she changed into a spare slim-fit strapless gown. The long gown reached to the floor and was full of shining diamonds. It set off her curvy figure and made her appear like a noble princess from a painting. Unfortunately, her waist was too slim, so the gown didn't fit her well.The young woman who was responsible for Renee's makeup patted her chest and said confidently, "It's fine. I'll tighten the waistline a bit. Leave it to me! I'll get it done in ten minutes.""Are you sure?" Justin couldn't hide his amazement as he watched Renee, who had changed into a new gown. He cleared his throat and said, "I think this is already perfect. It's fine even if you don't adjust the waistline."He felt that Renee was the most perfect woman no matter how she appeared. She would always bewitch him, even if she was just wearing slippers and casual coats.If his parents hadn't insisted on getting a renowned designer t

    Liam looked certain. "The Baldwin residence is strictly guarded. Plus, Austin owns military power. If the Hunt family wants to take Renee away, they'll have to fight the Baldwins. Things will get very hideous. But if they use a little trick, they don't have to waste any manpower to take her away. Why wouldn't they do that?""So, you're saying that Mr. and Mrs. Hunt fought against Justin's parents to purposely attract others' attention and to cover for Stefan. They wanted to give him the chance to take Ren away secretly.""That's very likely."Liam nodded. Else, he couldn't figure out why the decent Alexander and Francine would do such an indecent thing in front of so many rich and powerful people. After all, the Hunts would be ridiculed for what they had done just now if it got exposed. It was such a great price. They wouldn't have to make such a great sacrifice if not for their son's lifetime happiness."If that was true, the Hunts are just too cunning." Leia shrugged. She fou

    The spotlight shone on the entrance as everyone looked forward to the prince and princess' entrance.However, only Justin appeared like a charming prince in front of everyone in his white suit. There was no sign of his princess. Austin's initial confident smile stiffened. He flexed his fingers slightly and held himself back as he waited quietly for Justin to get onto the stage. Justin took calm steps. Smiling, he waved and greeted everyone, looking very much like a future bridegroom. When he got on the stage, Austin pulled him over. While lowering his voice, he interrogated coldly, "Why are you alone? Where is Ren?""Don't worry, Grandpa. Ren is the princess. Of course, she has to come last. We're just people who set off her charms. All we need to do is wait for her patiently."Then, Justin held the microphone and faced all the guests below the stage. He cleared his throat and said, "Please calm down, ladies and gentlemen. My future bride's gown is rather grand and needs more

    Austin was telling the truth."Of course, children will always stay with their mothers. Home is wherever their mother is. You'd better ask about Ren's opinion instead of making a scene here."Austin glanced at the gilded ancient clock above the hall, his eyes sharp."The engagement ceremony of my grandson and Ren is about to start in ten minutes. You can ask her opinion when she's here.""Really?"Francine was delightedly surprised. For the first time, she felt that Austin was not as horrible as legend had it. He was reasonable. She tried to reconfirm with him. "So, you're saying that I can ask Ren to come home with me when she's out, and you'll let her go if she says yes?" "No, you're wrong." Austin shook his head. "She came here willingly. Of course, it's not as if you need to ask me to let her go.""It's fine. That's not important as long as you remember what you said." Francine was confident and eager. She then said smugly to Austin and the others, "Wait and see! I have w
