Chapter 290
Lydia did not expect Stefan to be so protective of Renee. But now, she naturally did not dare to say
anything else. She quietly packed up her things and left.
Before leaving, she took advantage of Stefan's momentary absence to threaten Renee. "Hmph, don't
thinkyou've won! You're just an ex-wife who got dumped. You're gonna show me no mercy today? Then
don't blame me for casting stones at you tomorrow. You just wait, your peaceful days are coming to an
end!"
Renee sneered. "I knew you would never change that easily. You'll never take orders from me willingly.
Then isn't it perfect that you won’t have to serve me anymore? If I hear another grumble from you, you
won't even get your severance pay."
"I'll remember this, Renee Everheart!"
Lydia gave Renee a hateful look and left fuming.
As soon as she left the villa, she called Francine.
"Ma'am, you must right this injustice! Renee Everheart is such a cruel woman! She's bewitched the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyoung master and occupied the villa. Not only did she chase me out, I heard she’s responsible for Miss
Desrosiers' death too...”
Lydia complained about Renee for half an hour. 80% of the content was outright slander.
Upon hearing her complaints, Francine got so mad that she almost had a heart attack. She clenched
her fists and said dangerously, "I knew she must be responsible for Briar's death! Oh, my poor unborn
grandchild who never got the chance to see the world! Renee Everheart, I'll definitely make you pay!"
After Renee moved back to the Hunt Villa, she dismissed not only the housekeeper, but also the other
servants.
As a result, she and Stefan were the only people left in the villa that was over a thousand square
meters in size. It was so empty that there were echoes when they spoke.
Stefan was baffled. He asked Renee with a frown, "If you drive them all away, who will take care of this
large house? Are you gonna recruit new servants?"
Renee shook her head and said, “I have working hands and feet. I can take care of the house myself.
Most importantly, I like quiet."
Stefan nodded and said, "If we're the only people who are gonna live in this villa, it's gonna be quiet
alright.”
Renee was bemused. "Didn't you just say the villa is my sole property? If you're gonna stay here too,
then I'll leave right away."
A man and a woman living together under the same roof was fuel for gossip, even if it was a roof that
was over a thousand square meters in size so the two might not even run into each other that much. It
would be bad for her reputation if people found out. He might not care, but she did!
Stefan did not expect Renee to be so wary of him. His handsome face turned a bit colder. "I remember,
back in the days, you were always looking forward to me coming back here. Whenever you received
news that I was coming back, you would always prepare a large meal and wait for me on the swing in
the garden. You would wait the whole afternoon..."
"Enough!"
Renee was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and jump into it.
Stefan was not exaggerating in the slightest. Back then, she really was that foolish, blinded by love.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the time, she had a mental breakdown due to what happened to her family and deliberately stayed
away from the outside world. All she wanted to do was to be a good wife of the Hunt family. Stefan was
the only person in her eyes.
She really did sit on the swing to wait for him to come back On many nights when he did not come back
to villa, she would even stay up all night because she missed him so much...
Looking back at it now, she felt disgusted with herself!
"I beg you, please stop talking about the past. If you keep going, I might have to bite my own tongue
and kill myself!"
Renee took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Yes, I used to be obsessed with you,
but people change. From the moment you drove me out without a second thought, my love for you is
gone..."
“I want you to leave now as much as I longed for you to return back then. If you stay, I'll have to leave.”
Stefan's expression was complicated.
After a long time, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave. But look at me right now. Let me take a
shower and change my clothes first. I'll go to the hospital to see how Xavier's doing after that. Is that
okay?"
At the moment, Stefan looked terrible, like he had just climbed out of a coal mine.
