Chapter 177

Renee found Stefan’s sudden change in temper ridiculous. It must have been hard for an arrogant guy like Stefan to put up such a gentle facade for his lover.

Renee lifted her chin and said with a half smile. “Haven’t I made it clear enough? All you have to do is let your lover kneel down and apologize to me in front of all the media.”

“Don’t go overboard.” Stefan’s eyes turned cold. Somehow. Renee seemed like a complete stranger to him.

The old Renee was not so aggressive.

“I told you. Briar is still in the hospital with an unstable pregnancy. How can you have her kneel down and apologize to you?”

“Is that so?!”

Renee silently clenched her firsts. Despite the heartache, she maintained her arrogance and mocked Stefan. “She can’t kneel but you can kneel on her behalf. Well, Mr. Hunt, aren’t you a man who would bend over for true love? How touching!”

Nothing mattered to Renee anymore. Just let Stefan think of her as a mean and cold–blooded woman.

Despite being kind and meek for the past four years, he saw her with utter contempt. In that case, she would rather be the villain!

Stefan’s face contorted with anger that made people shudder.

Renee’s unforgiving behavior angered him. He seemed to have lost all control over her, and such a feeling drove him mad!

“Briar was wrong, but she already had her punishment…”

Stefan tried to hold his anger, hoping to reach a peaceful solution. He warned coldly, “You’re not pregnant, and you won’t understand the pain she’s going through. If you need any financial compensation, state your demands, but if you dare to hurt her, don’t resent me for ignoring our past relationship as husband and wife!”

“Haha.”

Renee was not angry at first, but Stefan’s words infuriated her. “Were we really husband and wife?” she spat.

Stefan had to be the most hypocritical and heartless man she had ever met. He rescued her just not long ago, but the next moment, he threatened her for Desrosiers. How could he?

The way Stefan hurt her without knowing was incomparable to the damage that Charles brought her.

The damage that Stefan caused was invisible, yet deadly!

“I don’t want the money. I want Briar to have a bad time. Go ahead and threaten me all you want. Let’s see who’ll win!”

Renee’s words were a formal declaration of war with Stefan. She had nothing to fear.

Zack Rosenwell was a top criminal lawyer. If Renee wanted, she could hold Briar accountable for her crimes. was not entirely impossible to put her in jail for more than eight years or even a decade.

“You’re so stubborn. You’re going to regret this, sooner or later,” Stefan said, his words sounding more like advice. He left after that.

Margaret had been working in the kitchen all morning. She prepared a variety of dishes, which were Stefan’s favorites.

She once thought that Renee’s former husband was a reliable man and could bring Renee happiness.

She liked him a lot and was sure that Renee’s late parents would be happy with him as well. Therefore, Margaret was determined to find a way for Renee to reunite with Stefan.

“Food’s ready! Time to eat!”

Margaret enthusiastically brought out the dishes and served them on the table but was surprised to see Renee alone.

“Huh? Where is Mr. Hunt?”

“I chased him away.” Renee sat down as if nothing had happened and began to enjoy Margeret’s cooking.

“You chased him away?” Margaret let out a long sigh. She knew Renee well enough to see she was playing it cool.

“Miss Ren. I know you and Mr. Hunt still have feelings for each other. Have you ever given remarriage a thought? For the sake of your baby?”
