Chapter 176
Renee realized she was the only one who felt awkward. Stefan seemed comfortable and acted as freeas he was at home. It profoundly interpreted the quote. “It’s only embarrassing if you care what peoplethink.”
Earlier, Charles Hanns smashed the stuff in the entire living room and made a terrible mess. Only thesofa area seemed to be
untouched.
Stefan sat gracefully on the couch and crossed his legs. He asked Renee, “How are you? Have yougotten used to your new place?”
“What do you think? This is my home. Why can’t I get comfortable here?”
Renee looked around and flashed a meek smile. “I’m finally home after four years of wandering. I haveto say, home sweet
home!”
Stefan’s eyes turned slightly gloomy. He said quietly. “As you said, you have half of the property rightsto Hunt Villa. If you want to go back, you can move anytime. It’s your home.”
Renee almost thought she had misheard Stefan. The kind look on her face vanished, replaced bydisdain.
“Stefan, aren’t you being a hypocrite? Remember when you made me move out overnight to makeroom for Desrosiers? That’s not what you said at the time.”
A man’s delayed affection was simply worthless. Besides, Stefan was not actually in love with her. Heneeded her help.
Renee knew why Stefan came to her, but she kept quiet and refused to discuss it. She did not want togive him what he wanted!
“I was wrong before. I didn’t expect Briar to be so unreasonable,” Stefan said, his disgust visible in hiseyes. Thinking back, he did not have a good impression of Briar during their first meeting. She lookedsoft and harmless, though her complex eyes said otherwise. They seemed to be filled with cunningthoughts.
Unlike Briar, Renee’s pair of bright and clear eyes looked as pure as the water of a mountain springamid a quiet valley.
Stefan had to admit. He often felt that fluttering in his chest whenever he looked into Renee’s eyes.
“I didn’t know she would ruin Hunt Villa like this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have allowed her to step footin it.”
Stefan rarely stayed in Hunt Villa, but he loved the sunflowers in the garden. However, the sunflowerswere all gone, replaced
by a field of boring roses.
It was not only the sunflower. All traces of Renee’s presence were gone, which made him inexplicablyuncomfortable.novelbin
“Ah. So what?”
Renee no longer had the patience to waste time with Stefan. She directly exposed his intention andsaid coldly, “You know your lover is terrible. Even so, you still came for her, begging for my mercy.”
“Aren’t you the proud and almighty Mr. Hunt? Why did you come to me? Would you lick your ex–wife’sboot for a woman like her? Isn’t that true love?”
Surprised by Renee’s intelligence, Stefan let out a long sigh. “Yeah. I’m here for Briar today.”
After a short pause, he said directly. “She’s still in the hospital because she’s still in shock. I want you todrop the case.”
‘I knew it!‘ Renee thought. Stefan was only here for Briar. Somehow, her heart still ached a little at thisrealization.
Renee took a deep breath. “She stole and destroyed my belongings. The evidence is all there. Whyshould I drop the case?”
With Stefan’s status, he could easily get Briar out of trouble. But, unfortunately, the ruthless Reneedecided to send her lawyer, Zack Rosenwell. His law firm filed a suit, leaving Stefan no time to react.
Even if Stefan had the power, he could not openly defy the law. The only way to resolve this was to getRenee to drop the case.
or Briar might very well end up in jail if the court so decided!
Stefan’s patience was gone. He looked annoyed. “Tell me. What do I have to do to make you let hergo?”
