Chapter 440

“Calm down, Miss Milford!” Renee was having a hard time moving around with a cast and an IV drip connected to her arm.

Francine was quite a bad-tempered person. On the verge of a meltdown, she would’ve choked Renee to death if it weren’t for the little bit of rationality she had in her.

“rm giving you one last chance to tell me where Stef is! As long as you’re willing to tell me, I can look past everything! I just want to know if my son is safe! Please, I’m begging you!” Francine was still holding onto Renee’s shoulders, her insanity replaced with despair as tears welled up in her eyes.

As a mother, she was willing to risk her life for her child.

‘I already told you -1 don’t know either! I didn’t even expect him to come save me! I have no reason to harm him, nor do I have any reason to hide him from you, alright?” As a mother herself, Renee understood how Francine felt, so she didn’t blame her for her actions.

If the roles had been switched, she wouldn’t have been as level-headed as Francine. She would’ve taken down her suspect, even if it cost her life.

However, despite her understanding, she could not help the poor woman in any way…

Renee sighed inwardly and thought to herself, ‘Agh! What the heck happened to you, Hunt?! Why are you making everyone worry about you?”

“Hold on, I’ll give Liam a call right now! He might know something.” Everything Renee heard about Stefan was from Liam, so she figured he should know the man’s situation.

Just as she was about to make the call, Liam himself entered the ward. He had just finished up with work, and had rushed over to the hospital as soon as he could.

“Let go of her!” Liam noticed Francine gripping Renee’s shoulders as he barged in. Infuriated, he strode over to them and pushed Francine away.

“Liam! No!” Renee quickly stopped the man with a sharp yell. She calmed herself before saying, “You’re just in time. Quick, tell them what happened to Hunt, and where he is now!”

Liam’s angry expression subsided, and was soon replaced with a strange one. His smile was cold and ambiguous as he asked, “How could you not know of Stefan Hunt’s condition as his mother, Miss Milford?”

He had previously asked the mortuary guard, and found that it was Stefan’s father who took his body.

Hence, it was impossible for Francine to not have the slightest clue about the situation. Thus, he assumed that Francine came by to visit Renee with bad intentions.

“That again… Mr. Osborne, you seem to be talking from the same script as Miss Everheart. Do you really think we’re stupid?!” Briar glared at the man.’ What have you and Miss Everheart done to Stef?

Why won’t you tell us where he is?”

Liam placed both hands in his pockets, looking dashing and elegant as he spoke, “I have no idea what you’re saying, but if you keep upsetting my boss, I will not show you any mercy. I don’t care if you’re from the Hunt family, or if you’re God himself!”

Hearing this, Briar quickly spread her arms and stood in front of Francine, acting as if she was willing to die for her.

“I knew you guys were up to no good! Now that you’ve been exposed, you’re trying to get revenge on us! Fine then, take me instead! Don’t you dare disrespect Miss Francine… I’ll fight you to the death if I have to!
