Renee's shopping mood was swept away after the misfortune of meeting Stefan and the two toxic women, so she went straight home after leaving the mall. The following day, she woke up early. After changing into a black dress and tying up her hair, she went to the florist to get a bouquet of daisies and then drove to the graveyard. It was the third of March, the death anniversary of her parents. It had been four whole years since they committed suicide, and she had never visited them. Everyone said she was a cold-blooded, ungrateful wretch who forsook her family to please the Hunts. But only she knew how much she loved her family. She was angry that they were not brave enough to live on, for their cowardice, their choice to leave in such a stupid and stubborn way, and for leaving her alone in the world! She hadn't visited their graves for so many years because she hadn't wanted to face or accept this reality. Yet, it was different now. She had gained the courage to face everyt
Renee returned home after leaving the graveyard. Just as she entered the door, she received a phone call from an unknown number. It was Briar. However, her tome was extremely polite and gentle, unlike her usual domineering tone when facing Renee. "I am sorry to disturb you, Ms. Everheart. I've been cleaning the room recently and found some of your personal belongings. Do you have time to come and get them tonight?" 'Was Briar always so kind?' Renee thought, obviously skeptical about it. What was she up to this time? Despite that, Renee did not hesitate and replied calmly, "Sure, I'll drop by and get them later." She left in haste last time, leaving some important belongings behind. Even if Briar did not call her, she would still find time to return to the villa to pick them up. At around eight in the evening, Renee got a cab and went straight to the Hunt family’s residence. The servants were somewhat distant because the previous mistress was visiting. They did not eve
Putting on the mask of concern, Briar said, "Isn't that a bad idea? She's still your cousin's wife, after all." Charlotte took Briar's arm and persuaded her righteously, "Bri, you're just too kind-hearted. Think about how this woman trampled you at the charity banquet. Don't you want to give her some payback? Didn't you see how lustful she was acting just now? I'm so generous that I even lent her my boyfriend to help her out! She'll have to thank me later! Don't worry. I'll take care of it if anything happens! It won't be your fault!" "You're so kind to me, Charlotte!" Though Briar looked touched, she was laughing inwardly at Charlotte's stupidity. The stupid girl didn't even know she was being used, yet she was still working herself to the bone for Briar! A short while later, Stefan returned to the villa. A chilling aura exuded from his tall figure, and he asked sternly, "Where is she?" Not seeing Renee after surveying the spacious parlor, his brows knitted tightly together.
Renee struggled to push him away. "Stefan, are you crazy?! 'Stop interrupting when I am enjoying myself, okay?' "This isn't appropriate! You shouldn't watch this!" He spoke like a father worried for his daughter, as if Renee was a young, innocent girl watching something bad. Renee was speechless. "I am not a kid, okay? I've experienced a lot of things!" "Really? Tell me, what have you experienced?" The calamitous rage on his handsome face had subsided, replaced by a trace of playfulness as he calmly returned her gaze. She stayed silent as memories of the night she had sex with this man surfaced in her mind, which turned her cheeks red without her realizing it. Her shy reaction amused him, making him even more confident of his speculation that she was not pregnant. In fact, she probably never had an intimate relationship with a man! Shortly after that, Briar also left the room in embarrassment and hastily attempted to clear her name. "Are you alright, Ms. Everheart? I
Stefan pushed open the door and saw that Micah, who was under the influence of the drug, was pinning Charlotte beneath him and trying to have sex with her. "Stefan, help me!" As if seeing a lifeline, Charlotte screamed at Stefan for help. Although Micah was her boyfriend, and they had had sex a long time ago, this was a situation she just could not accept. It was too humiliating! Stefan's eyes coldly swept across the two on the floor and took away what belonged to Renee on the table. "Serves you right!" He left without looking back after saying those words. His cousin was spoiled to the point of being too lawless. It was time for her to taste some pain. When he got downstairs and saw Renee waiting at the door, he frowned. "We are not divorced yet. You are still the mistress of this villa." "No, thank you!" Renee took the things in the man's hand and left without bothering to say goodbye. It was already late at night at the moment. Renee stood outside the villa
The one who spoke was a childhood friend of Stefan's, Xavier Stuart.When Xavier saw Renee who was standing next to him, he let out an even more exaggerated yell. "Oh my god, come and see this. Not only did Stef come, but he also brought his wife with him. Will wonders never cease? What a rare occasion!"Stefan's attractive face remained unfazed as he strode into the room and said in a meaningful tone, "Since I received the invitation, I naturally had to come."Renee was still confused about the situation, so she acted like a good and dignified wife and followed the man obediently. Since she had received a fee of a hundred thousand dollars per minute, she naturally had to play her role as his puppet well.The interior of the room was extravagantly luxurious. It was spacious and lavish, with lights glimmering and glinting, as if they had entered a palace.A few couples were seated on the couch. She could tell from their appearances that they were children of the rich. The ones who
Everyone in the room froze!No one expected that Renee, who looked gentle and docile, would have this side to her."My husband is such a perfect man. Let's see who's blind enough to dump him!" When she said this, she wrapped her arms around Stefan's affectionately, expressing her desire to defend her husband.But of course, it was mere pretense. Regardless, out of curiosity, she wanted to confirm if her guess was correct.Sure enough, the elegant lady sitting on the couch lowered her head sheepishly.Christopher's expression was also somewhat stiff.Xavier seemed to care a lot about the woman and immediately retorted surly, "It doesn't matter who dumped him. Since she’s Stefan's first love, she must be a hundred times more perfect than you in every way! It is important to know one's weaknesses. You and Stefan are not even from the same world and you can't see eye to eye. Why did you still marry him, knowing that? You're doing him and yourself a disservice!"Christopher's sof
"Hah, you'll be shocked when you find out!"Xavier said proudly, "Do you know Petersville University? Cecy studied astrophysics there, their most difficult subject. When she presented her research paper, she was even awarded the first prize in the Starburst Competition!""Wow, you're really an outstanding student, Cecy!"The crowd cast adoring glances at Cecilia. It was not that their reaction was exaggerated, but in fact, it was because it was very rare for those who were born with a silver spoon to excel in academics, so an astrophysics top student was a feat to them.Cecilia smiled lightly and said softly, "It's not that I am good, it's just that I happened to pick the topic that the judges liked.""Don't be so humble. You should just admit it if you are good!"Xavier put his hands into his pockets and looked at Renee pompously, and asked, "Do you know what astrophysics is? I guess a housewife like you, who never leaves the house without her husband, must have never heard of i
