Chapter 58

Renee returned home after leaving the graveyard. Just as she entered the door, she received a phone call from an unknown number.

It was Briar.

However, her tome was extremely polite and gentle, unlike her usual domineering tone when facing Renee.

“I am sorry to disturb you, Miss Everheart. I’ve been cleaning the room recently and found some of your personal belongings. Do you have time to come and get them tonight?”

‘Was Briar always so kind?’ Renee thought, obviously skeptical about it.

What was she up to this time?

Despite that, Renee did not hesitate and replied calmly, “Sure, I’ll drop by and get them later.”

She left in haste last time, leaving some important belongings behind. Even if Briar did not call her, she would still find time to return to the villa to pick them up.

At around eight in the evening, Renee got a cab and went straight to the Hunts’ villa. The servants were somewhat distant because the previous mistress was visiting. They did not even bother to greet her.

What snobs!

It did not matter to Renee. She simply walked into the villa through the big door. The place where she had been staying for four years was still the same as when she left. It was just a pity that the people had changed, and her heart inevitably felt sorrow.

‘Bah! How unlucky I was to have wasted four years of youth in this damn place!’

The luxurious parlor was extraordinarily lively. Not only that the new mistress of this villa, Briar, was here, but Charlotte and her boyfriend, Micah, were also there.

As soon as she saw Renee, Briar immediately took on the role of the hostess and went forward to greet her warmly.

“Miss Everheart, you came. We were just talking about you!”

Renee asked with an indifferent look, “Where are my things?”

Renee was here to retrieve her things, so she would leave as soon as she got them. She had no time to be playing around with her.

“They’re in your old room. I’ve asked the servants to pack them up so you can take them away whenever you want.”

“Thanks.”

When Renee headed to the revolving staircase, Briar took her arm and said warmly, “Since you are already here, why don’t you stay for dinner?”

“Dinner?”

Renee turned her bright eyes on Briar, and they suddenly unveiled a hint of playfulness. “I am rather curious. When did my relationship with you become so close, Miss Desrosiers?”

Her gaze was so sharp that Briar felt intimidated and instinctively avoided it.

Charlotte came forward and sneered. “How petty of you to chicken out of a meal. It’s no wonder my cousin doesn’t want you!”

Renee raised her eyebrows, amused. She found these two interesting, one playing nice and another nasty. What were they trying to achieve by acting so hard?

“Okay. It just so happens that I’m a little hungry.”

She decided to go along with them. She wanted to see what they could come up with.

A feast was served, and there was even a bottle of Lafite ’82 on the table.

Renee’s cheeks started to burn after she drank the wine Briar poured for her. With one hand propping her forehead and her eyes turning hazy and watery, she was unmistakably drunk.

“I feel so dizzy, and why is it so hot…”

Briar and Charlotte’s eyes lit up when they heard this, and they exchanged glances. (1)

Charlotte hurriedly said to Micah, “She’s done eating. Take her upstairs and help her carry her things down…”

At the sight of the drunken Renee, Micah swallowed heavily and helped her up. “Don’t worry. I will take good care of her!”

“It’s your doomsday today, bitch! After taking that stuff, even a saint will become a slut. She won’t be able to escape this time, not even if she has wings!”

Eyes glittering with a malicious light, Charlotte urged Briar excitedly, “Bri, call my cousin. Doesn’t this slut like to seduce men? Let’s show him her true colors!”
