Chapter 754

After a long pause, a strange atmosphere appeared in the room.

“So… You’re saying that Briar wasn’t pregnant with your child, and you guys were not in that kind of relationship?”

Renee was flabbergasted. After a pause, she finally found her voice.

She had imagined all kinds of possibilities, trying to figure out why Stefan was so loyal to such a pretentious b*tch like Briar. However, she never imagined that would be the reason.

Stefan held his forehead as his handsome face turned aloof. He was rendered speechless and helpless at the same time.

“Do you think I would fall for a woman like Briar, given my taste?”

He returned the question.

“How would I know what time of woman you like?”

Renee crossed her arms across her chest and said in a peculiar manner, “In short, don’t men like such feeble, beautiful, innocent, and pretentious b*tch? Can you control yourself the moment she starts flirting in front of you?”

“Stop it.”

He then continued solemnly, “It’s unsuited to describe Briar as such.”

His retort filled her with inexplicable joy, so she found it hard to suppress her laughter.

She tried her best to suppress her laughter and pretended to say expressionlessly, “Ahem, so tell me—

how should we be describing Briar?”

Stefan frowned and tried his best to ponder over it. After a good while, he answered seriously, “Well, she’s weak but too scheming.”

Renee’s face turned cold, and suddenly, a sense of pathetic and sarcastic feeling washed over her.

She then snorted, “Well, it seems like you’re well aware of it. You have long learned about her character, don’t you?”

“She has her difficulties. My brother said that her early years were filled with a lot of unhappiness.”

Stefan’s gaze turned cold and indifferent.

However, he always felt that he had some kind of responsibility toward Briar because of Tristan.

She was just greedy, but it seemed logical when it came to the environment she grew up in.

It was human instinct to want to survive and lead a better life.

Briar always pretended to be weak while plotting against others. However, she really just wanted to lead a better life.

Besides, he had promised his brother to take good care of Briar. At least, he had to ensure that she was well provided for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately… he failed to do that.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s hilarious!”

Renee laughed in a slightly exaggerated manner, but her eyes turned slightly red in the meantime.

She stared at the tall and sturdy man in front of her as if she was looking at a clown and felt nothing but disgust.

“Stefan, you’re so considerate. Everyone has their difficulties, and everyone is unlucky, but I’m the only one who is not pitiful. I deserved to be forced to get a divorce. It was right and reasonable for me to be misunderstood and humiliated. And even my kids deserve to suffer that kind of pain with me!”

“I didn’t mean that.”

“Humph! I don’t know if you meant that or not, but you always condemned and hurt me just to protect that woman. I finally understand why Briar was so crazy…

“Of course, she dared to do any illegal things with such a great supporter like you. What’s more, it’s merely hurting my kids and me.”

“Calm down.”

“I can’t keep f*cking calm!”

Renee vented out all the pain that she had suppressed for more than four years. She even challenged him. “You’d better protect your pretentious b*tch well. Don’t let me get her. If not, I’ll make her very miserable!”

Renee was fuming with anger.

Sure, she hated Briar, but she hated Stefan even more.
