Chapter 333

Austin knitted his eyebrows and was immersed in his thoughts for a long time. Then, he fixed his fierce wolf-like eyes on Renee. “So, what you’re saying is… you’ve been using Justin and us this whole time, and you were acting from the very beginning to deceive the Baldwin family?”

Renee inhaled deeply and nodded guiltily. “I’m very sorry. I was wrong.’

“Don’t-!” Justin wanted to stop her but it was too late. He hit his forehead on the table and groaned.

“She can’t be saved. Renee, you idiot! It’s not worth it!”

It was too foolish for her to risk her life for this cheater!

Justin knew Austin very well – the old man detested lies and was very stubborn. Once he lost his temper, he could even kill others. How would this end now?

“Well, isn’t that just great?” Austin had obviously lost control of his emotions. He pointed his revolver at Renee and said icily, “I like you, and admire you very much. I would have even used all my resources to nurture you because you are Maurice’s granddaughter, but this is just too disappointing… The first rule of the Baldwin family is that anyone who dares to betray the family shall die!”

Seeing Austin was about to fire the gun, Justin jumped in front of Renee in the nick of time and said nonchalantly, “Grandpa, that’s our family rule.

What does it have to do with an outsider? If you really want to fire the gun, you can just aim it at me!’

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare to do that?” Austin sneered.

“Of course, you would. You can kill all of us without even batting an eyelid. How cool is that?” Justin said cheekily.

Sophia was so anxious she jumped to her feet. “Shut up, brat! Isn’t the situation messy enough already?”

Jack also feared that Austin would really shoot his son and bravely interrupted, “Please calm down, Father. These young people are still immature. They don’t think before they speak. As adults, we should educate them and give them a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

His words somehow moved the arbitrary man. Austin slowly put away his revolver and said to Renee, “Child, I still believe you’re very talented. Your achievements can be greater than mine and your grandfather’s if you get the right training. It would be a waste if you’re sacrificed like this, so I want to give you a chance. As long as you cut ties with this man once and for all and stay with Justin, I will forgive you.”

Renee frowned slightly and asked, “Are you saying that you’re willing to let Stefan go?”

“I had no intention of letting the Hunts go, but if you are willing to marry Justin, I can consider it…”

Austin believed that he was being very generous in this situation. It was partly because Renee was the only granddaughter of his respected Maurice – any other person who dared to do this would have already been dead.

“I…” Renee was in a dilemma.

‘Great. Clearly, they see me as some sort of peace-making princess. Can I say that I don’t want to make a choice?’

However, she and Stefan might die on the spot if she did not choose the Baldwin family.

So, deciding to submit to the circumstances, Renee took a step forward and said, “I will choose…”
