Little Aiden acted like an adult, cupping his chin in his tiny hand and in a thinker pose. After that, he said seriously, "Mommy, I've been thinking about this. I don't like you and don't want you anymore, not even a little!"The little one was only four years old. However, he had well-developed facial features and looked just like a young version of Stefan.Renee held her laughter and asked with the same seriousness, "Really? So Adie doesn't like Mommy anymore. You don't want Mommy anymore. Will Adie miss Mommy? Won't you miss me?"Aiden fell silent. Feeling speechless, the little one furrowed his thick eyebrows and looked at her with helplessness in his dark eyes."Mommy, that's a lame… You're so childish and naughty. I can't protect you when you go to another city alone. What if someone hurts you? Do you know how worried I am?"Renee finally understood Aiden's anger and felt her heart warm up."Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'll be away for just a few days and be back soon. Don't wor
After washing up, Renee and Leia lay on the bed in their pink pajamas and had a girl's talk."Ren! To be honest, I really envy you!"Leia leaned on Renee and sighed emotionally. "Just look at you now. You're pretty and rich. You have two precious ones too. More importantly, you don't have an annoying husband! You're living a woman's dream! I'm so envious. I'm tempted to get a daughter and son artificially inseminated into me!"Renee laughed in amusement. "Don't be impulsive! It's not easy to raise a child. You can't undo your decision after giving birth. It'll be a nightmare until your child is three. You can't leave them. If they get sick, you'll feel tormented!"Renee and Margaret worked hard to raise Aiden and Abigail for the past four years. Looking back, Renee had a lot of painful moments she could not share.It was never easy to handle this kind of heartache. It was not something that could be resolved with more money or hiring more help. As a mother, her children were every
"What's the matter?"Renee was still sleepy. She yawned drowsily and leaned against the bed lazily."You're in the news! You’ve gone viral!"Leia pounced on Renee with her phone and excitedly clicked on the viral video.It was a video of Renee on Marine Highway yesterday, bending over to fix her car and kicking the crap out of the creepy man. Renee looked stunning in the video, particularly with her beautiful face, pale skin, and long legs. Her fearless posture exuded sexiness with a formidable charm. The netizens went crazy over Renee and wouldn't stop commenting on the video. Renee's popularity was no less than some A-list celebrity.[Damn! She's like a Charlie's Angel. She's so sassy. I love her!][Female fighters should look at this. That's a heavy blow! That guy must be scared to death!][Ahhh! I'm totally in love! I want to know all about her!]The video was reposted, edited, and made into several funny versions, which left Renee speechless."Hahaha! The netizens are s
The furious Liam nagged Leia nonstop and complained on the phone. "How dare you! Who gave you the guts to do this? Tell me where you are right now if you don't want me to rain hell on you!""I can't tell you, Liam. I promised Ren to keep her return a secret. Only God knows. No one else must know.""Leia! Cut the crap! Do you think I won't do anything to do you?"Liam gritted his teeth. "She's been going viral all morning. Everyone has been talking about it. Anybody online would know that Ren's back in Beach City!"Leia knew it was impossible to keep it a secret anymore and opened her hands helplessly. She told Renee, who was beside her, "See, Ren. That's my brother's usual attitude toward me. His true character is just like a late-stage bipolar person. His gentle, patient, and nice persona in front of you is all a facade…""Who are you talking to? Is Boss right next to you?"Liam instantly tensed up in extreme nervousness. His grumpy voice softened at once. Liam said softly, "Bos
Renee was unperturbed by her recent stint in the trending news. After washing up, Renee wore a black dress and light makeup, ready to visit her parent's gravesite.Today was a special day. It was the ninth anniversary of her parent's death."Do you need my company?" Leia asked thoughtfully."No. I can deal with this myself." Renee was away from Beach City for four years. It was her first time back and the first time she'd be paying her respect to her late parents. She had a lot to speak to them alone.She got into the same red Ferrari from yesterday and sped all the way to the cemetery.It was the height of summer in August, but the gravestones that lay silent among the lush grass in the cemetery were cold and quiet all year round.After parking her car, Renee put on her black sunglasses and headed to her parents' graves with a white daisy bouquet.However, despite arriving early, she was surprised to see that a fancy bouquet had already been left in front of the grave. The bo
“Ren, it really is you! I finally see you again.”The man was none other than Renee's despicable uncle, Elon Barnes.“You again?”Renee snorted. "Leave me alone, you lowlife. Every time I come to visit my parents, you're always here.”“Sigh, you're right, Ren, I am a lowlife. But thank god, I come here to wait for you every year and now I finally get to see you again...”Elon wiped away his tears and said, "You have no idea what I've been through all these years. I missed you so much!”Renee sneered, "Missed me? More like you missed my money.”“Ugh...”Elon rubbed his chin, feeling a bit awkward.“What's the matter? You've already finished the 7 million dollars Stefan gave you four years ago?”“Oh, those? They're long gone!” Elon waved his hand and said regretfully, "I thought I'd use that money to invest in the stock market and make even more money, but luck wasn't on my side... I lost it all in the last two years. I've lost everything.”“Is that so? Well, it's none of my b
“You have Stefan's number? That's surprising.”Renee was indeed surprised.The Stefan she remembered was distant, indifferent, and unfriendly. He would not give others his phone number easily, nor would he arrange work for his friends and relatives.She did not expect him to take special care of his ex-wife's uncle!While waiting for the call to be picked up, Elon said with some pride, "Well, we're family, and I'm his elder after all. He would at the very least show me this much respect.”Unfortunately, reality soon hit Elon in the face.The phone rang for a long time without being picked up. He called again, but this time, it was instantly disconnected.Renee crossed her arms and couldn't help but snort. "Yeah, I can definitely see how much respect he's showing you.”“Ahem!” Elon awkwardly cleared his throat and explained, "My nephew-in-law is a CEO, so he's a busy man. I'll call him again in the afternoon. He usually answers. Even if he doesn't show me respect, he'll show you
Mandy Barnes was Elon's only daughter. When she was a little girl, she followed Renee everywhere. She was very fond of Renee.Unfortunately, when Elon turned on the Everheart family, he forbade Mandy to keep in touch with Renee, or the two of them would have been even closer.Elon's house was located in an ordinary community in the Eastern Third Ring District, It was a house of about 80 square meters that had three bedrooms and a living room. It was an ordinary house, but it was very cozy.When Renee entered the house, her aunt, Hannah Johnson, was cleaning some vegetables in the kitchen, while her cousin, Mandy, was singing in her room.“Guys, look who's here!”Elon shouted with a booming voice and a smile on his face.The mother and daughter came to the living room. When they saw Renee, their eyes almost popped out in surprise.“Ren! It really is you! I've wanted to see you for so long! This is awesome!” Mandy gave Renee a big hug and said excitedly, "Ren, we haven't seen each
