Chapter 200

Under the night sky, a white private jet was parked in a private hangar a distance away from the city center.

Briar, escorted by several strong–looking men, boarded the plane with trepidation.

“Stefan, I knew you would save me!”

At the sight of the dignified man sitting inside the jet, the originally uneasy Briar excitedly threw herself at him.

However, Stefan’s expression was cold, maybe even slightly annoyed.

“Tonight, the jet will send you to Cyseal City, where you’ll stay for the rest of your pregnancy. You will not make any contact with the outside world until the baby is born.”

His voice that was devoid of emotion flustered Briar.

“What’s the meaning of this, Stefan? Are you trying to hide me away? How’s that any different from going to jail?”

Stefan’s handsome face was expressionless as he coldly snorted, “You can choose to go back and go to jail if you want!”

“No!”

Briar was very emotional. She immediately transformed into a weak, helpless girl with tears streaming down her cheeks. She said pitifully, “Stefan, what’s wrong with you? Why are you being so cold to me?”

“You know I’m innocent! Shouldn’t you help me clear my name? Instead, you’re hiding me out of sight like I’m some kind of embarrassment! Don’t you think this is really unfair to me?”

“Unfair?”

Stefan coldly said, “You want to talk about fairness in front of Renee Everheart? Don’t you think that’s the biggest unfairness of all?”

Briar was shocked by his cold attitude. She swallowed hard and said cautiously. “I… I don’t understand what you mean.”

She could clearly feel that the man was no longer as easily fooled as before.

“You’re pregnant with my brother’s child. That’s his only descendant. For the sake of his bloodline, Renee could only compromise unconditionally.”

Stefan’s eyes were sharp and piercing. “You use this to usurp Renee from the position that rightfully belonged to her. You think this is fair?”

“… …”

Briar lowered her head and had no reply.

“If you had simply kept to yourself, I wouldn’t have said anything, and you could get everything that you want. Unfortunately…

you’re too greedy, too malicious. I won’t let you do as you please anymore!”

Stefan was utterly disappointed with Briar.

He could not figure out how his excellent and upright elder brother could have fallen for a woman like her and even had a child with her. Even before he died, his last words to Stefan was to take care of Briar and their child…

“Enough talking. Just go!”

Stefan finished speaking and got up to leave.

Briar cried and blocked his path. “You misunderstood me, Stefan! I’m not greedy! I just want to give birth to Tristan’s baby safely and give him a legitimate identity! It was your idea to divorce Miss Renee and marry me! How come in the end, it’s all my Briar’s words made Stefan fall silent.

He suddenly wondered, if there was no Briar and no baby, would he have divorced Renee?

He probably would have. After all, the marriage between him and Renee was only a contractual marriage. There was no love between them. A divorce was probably only a matter of time.

“Stefan, I know I’ve made a mistake. I promise you I’ll behave myself from now on. I’ll stay far away from Miss Renee. All I want is to be with you and raise Tristan’s only child well. Please, give me another chance.”

Briar grabbed Stefan’s arm and begged hard.

“The baby will be born in a few months. Do you really want him to come into this world in hiding as an illegitimate child? Do you want him to have no father, no legal identity?”

Briar’s round of questioning made Stefan frown.

His looked coldly at Briar’s slightly bulging stomach. In the end, he relented. “We’ll talk again after the baby is born!”

“Okay. I trust you, Stefan. I’ll do whatever you ask of me!”

Briar knew when to push her advantage and when to compromise. She said pitifully, “I’ll wait for you, wherever I am. The baby and I will be waiting for you!”

The private jet roared into the sky.

Sitting inside his limousine, Stefan stared with a gloomy expression at the plane that gradually turned into a tiny dot.

‘Brother, you won’t blame me for doing this, will you?”

The next day.

Before the trial, Renee received news that Briar had committed suicide…
