Chapter 168

Perhaps it was because she had been running around all day that Renee was exhausted and nauseous, likely due to her pregnancy. She endured the discomfort in her abdomen and squeezed the quilt with curses written all over it tightly in her hand, and the fury was obvious on her beautiful face.

Turning her burning eyes on Stefan, she asked coldly. “How are you going to deal with this? Your little mistress has done something so vicious and disgusting!”

Briar had repeatedly challenged her and pushed her to the limits. Before this, Renee had been too lazy to bother about the woman. But this time, she had really crossed the line, and Renee wouldn’t stand for it.

If she did, there would be a second time. She wouldn’t have the energy to deal with it if that happened!

Stefan straightened up, the indifference on his face not changing as he asked another question instead of answering her. “What do you want me to do about it?”

“Hah!” Renee couldn’t stop the sneer from escaping her lips. “Judging by your words, do I dare think you would do anything I asked? Are you willing to turn your back on your darling mistress to get justice for me?”

Stefan tilted his chin upward, adopting a pose that indicated he was superior to Renee, and took in the anger radiating off the petite woman before replying calmly, “Briar has gone too far this time. If your request is reasonable, I’ll make sure it happens.”

“Are you serious? Do you think ‘gone too far‘ sums up what happened here?”

Stefan’s casualness and leniency toward Briar sparked Renee’s anger even further. She couldn’t understand. Was Stefan that head over heels for that woman, and that’s why he would turn a blind eye to everything to protect her?

When she thought about how she had placed this man on a pedestal and how deeply she had loved him for four years, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted at her once vulgar taste!

“A reasonable request, you said?” Renee’s red lips lifted into a smirk as she sneered, “Get her to apologize to me, on her knees. on international media. If she’s sincere, I’ll consider forgiving her.”

Stefan furrowed his brows, and the air in the room suddenly became tense. “Don’t go overboard.”

“Overboard?” Renee repeated, laughing outright. “Are you saying what she did wasn’t overboard? She cursed me to die in such a disgusting way! When one does wrong, shouldn’t they apologize?”

“I’ll get her to apologize to you, but there’s no need to make a scene on the media. It’ll become the joke of the day if the world sees this.”

“If she has the guts to do it, then she should have the guts to bear the consequences. What she did was a joke on its own!

Shouldn’t the world know what kind of person she is?”

When it came to this. Renee refused to budge an inch.

“Besides, even if it becomes a joke, that’s your family’s problem. It doesn’t concern me.”

Stefan stared at Renee, the emotion in his eyes becoming conflicted and eventually hardening further.

The woman before him was completely different from the kind and dignified individual he remembered.

The more he stared at her, the more he didn’t recognize her.

“You weren’t like this before,” Stefan said. “Briar is pregnant. Does it make sense for you to be this aggressive?”

Renee burst out laughing at his words. “Haha! Aggressive? Are you serious? You consider that aggressive? Since when were you so magnanimous, Mr. Hunt?”

She took a deep breath, brushed her hair, and said harshly. “You best guard your little lover well, Mr.

Hunt. If she falls into my hands, I won’t stop at this, and I’ll make her pay what she deserves!”

After saying that, Renee left the Hunt villa with her head held high.

Everything in this villa made her feel dirty and repulsive. If she could, she’d never step foot in this place again!

It was then that the pain in her abdomen suddenly intensified, and Renee gulped harshly. Beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead…
