Chapter 147
After Renee left, Briar smiled satisfyingly.
She carried the drunken Stefan and said to Francine, “Miss Francine, I’ll take Stefan to the room now. Ibelieve my engagement to Stefan will be sealed soon after tonight.”
Francine nodded. “Yes. We need to grab hold of the opportunity.”
Although she wasn’t satisfied with Briar, compared to Renee, Briar listened to her more.
She hoped that Briar could make use of tonight so that Renee doesn’t try to come again.
Elijah was getting anxious as he stood by the side. He felt that Stefan was in danger.
He couldn’t figure out how Renee would be willing to give up the man she loved to a woman like Briar.
‘Could it be Mrs. Hunt really doesn’t love Mr. Hunt anymore? If that’s the case, Mr. Hunt will be in a lotof trouble!‘ he thought to himself.
“Stefan, I’ll take you to your room.”
Suddenly, Stefan pushed Briar away and said emotionlessly, “Go away. You’re not her.”
Seeing this, Briar was a little stunned and asked carefully, “Stefan, have you sobered up?”novelbin
He didn’t respond, but his body swayed slightly, and he seemed dazed. He was still drunk.
Elijah quickly took the opportunity and held Stefan. “Miss Desrosiers, you don’t understand Mr. Hunt.He doesn’t like it when women touch him, especially when drunk. So, there’s no need to trouble youtonight. I’ll take care of him.”
Briar felt that Elijah was troublesome as he clearly treated her like a fool.
“Hahaha. Stop joking, Mr. Young. You’re telling me that he doesn’t like to be touched by women? Then,why did he hug Miss Everheart so tightly? And how did I even get pregnant?”
“I’ve no idea how you got pregnant, Miss Desrosiers, but as to why Mr. Hunt was hugging MissEverheart so tightly, isn’t the answer obvious?”
He looked at her indifferently and remarked sarcastically, “It’s because Miss Everheart is the rightfulMrs. Hunt. They were husband and wife for four years, so he’s naturally used to her touch. He,however, dislikes getting touched by a shameless. woman.”
“Mr. Young, what are you implying?”
Briar had lost all patience and revealed her true self. “Who are you calling shameless? Stefan haddivorced Miss Everheart. I am the rightful Mrs. Hunt!”
“I didn’t mean you, Miss Desrosiers. But seeing how you’re panicking, you’re definitely guilty.”
Briar clenched her fist and chuckled coldly. “Miss Everheart and Stefan had divorced, yet you’re soprotective of her. Could it be that you like her?”
To her, Elijah was just a worker. He wasn’t a threat to her, so she wasn’t afraid of offending him.
When she became Mrs. Hunt, she would definitely fire him.
Elijah merely smiled but didn’t say a word.
However, Francine scolded her with a cold face. “Don’t talk nonsense. You can’t talk to Mr. Young likethat. Don’t blame me for being cruel if I hear you being rude to Mr. Young again.”
Hearing this, Briar immediately kept her mouth shut as she trembled in fear.
It was weird that when Elijah held Stefan, he wasn’t as hostile to him as he was to her. He also didn’tbehave like a kid when he
was holding Renee earlier. He was perfectly normal.

After they reached Stefan’s room, Elijah slowly lay him down on the bed.
Elijah faintly heard Stefan whisper, “Renee… come back. I order you to come back! No one else canprotect you besides me.”
Hearing this, Elijah sighed. “Mr. Hunt, you didn’t love her when she did, but now that she doesn’t loveyou anymore, you started to fall for her. Why are you making your life so hard?”
