Chapter 173

“I was planning to settle the score with you when I felt better, but I never thought you would serve yourselves up on a silver platter…”

Renee wore a calm expression as she walked down the stairs, her knuckles cracking as she clenched and unclenched her fists.

She had discovered earlier that the person who tried to bury Margaret alive four years ago was Jeremy’s close friend, Charles, and for that, she decided that the man would pay with his life…

And that man was standing right before her right now.

Charles turned to Renee, and disdain flashed on their faces.

Charles mockingly said. “Haha! What a bold statement! Here I was, wondering who it was… Turns out it’s a remaining Everheart maggot! Our boss has wanted to eradicate you for a long time, but he let you off because of the Hunts! You’re just a despicable. housewife who has been demoted, and no one will protect you! I might as well take your useless life to my boss for a reward!

Renee sneered. “If you’re a dog wanting to ask your master for a bone, you first have to have the ability to do so! If you can run your mouth so well, why don’t you try taking care of your clothes first, hmm?”

“I’ve recorded how you pissed your pants, you know? I wonder what Jeremy would think if he saw how his close friend was so wimpy in a critical moment, and even worse, selling him out so easily?”

When Renee finished speaking, she turned the volume up to maximum on her phone, repeatedly playing the video of Charles wetting himself when Margaret entered the door.

“Pfft… Haha!”

Some of the men couldn’t help but break out in peals of laughter, holding their hurting stomachs.

“What a wimp!”

Margaret couldn’t help but laugh too. This was probably her first time laughing so hard after suffering for four years!

Charles‘ face twisted into an ugly expression, and he swung his fist at Renee.

“Damn you! How dare you play me for a fool! I won’t stop if I don’t cripple you today!”

To Charles, Renee was just a weak little girl, and it would be as easy as stepping on an ant to kill her.

His attack was quick and heavy, and Margaret was frightened as she screamed, “Look out, Miss Ren!”

Renee was quick to react and caught his fist. With a smooth motion, she easily flipped and dropped him to the ground.

“Ow!”

Charles couldn’t react to Renee’s counter and fell straight on his ass. He looked at Renee incredulously.

“W–what…? What did you just…?!”

Charles was considered to be a person well–versed in martial arts, and he was well aware that the skills Renee had just displayed couldn’t be pulled off by someone with barely any training. She had to have at least a decade of training under her belt to have done that! How could a weak woman like her do that?!

“Oh, nothing much. Just taking out the trash!”

Renee was going to continue teaching Charles a lesson when her abdomen suddenly cramped up. She immediately hunched forward and curled into herself.

‘Tsk… What a time to be naughty, little one!‘

Although she had intended to find a way to get them out of there first, it appeared that she wouldn’t be solving this with force.

Hence, she straightened up, kept her composure, and said to Charles, “Consider yourselves lucky that I spared your life today. Hurry up and get lost, or I’ll send this video to Jeremy for entertainment!”

Charles didn’t dare to do anything rash because of the move Renee had displayed, but also because he was afraid that she would really send the video to Jeremy. If she did, he would be a dead man.

So, he also played along and said, “Hmph! You’re also lucky. It so happens I don’t have enough energy today, which is why I couldn’t kill you!”

Then, he waved his hands at his underlings. “Come on! We’re leaving!”

The men dragged their steel pipes and followed him out.

But suddenly, Charles realized that he might’ve been tricked. Wouldn’t it be safer if he’d just grabbed the phone and destroyed.

the video?

They were big, burly men! How could they let two weak women boss them around?!

“Damn it! Grab that phone and kill her!” Charles roared. He wanted to teach Renee a lesson for deceiving him.

But suddenly, a strong force came from behind him, and he suddenly felt someone kicking him so hard that he inadvertently began flailing his arms as his feet left the ground…
