Everyone thought that Stefan, as the father of the child, would protect Briar no matter what.

However, the stony faced man said calmly. �In that case, you should cooperate and go to the police station.�

Renee was stunned.

She hadn�t expected Stefan to be willing to turn his back on his own family. If she remembered correctly, he had been very protective of Briar before this, despite the obvious fact of her being a two�faced bitch. He treated her like a fragile flower. touching it gingerly in fear of damaging it instead of holding it tight.

Had he gotten tired of Briar so quickly?

�Tsk! The attention span of a man really is worse than a child! It was the right decision to divorce him!�

Renee thought as she quietly celebrated her correct choice.

When the two policemen saw Stefan�s stance, they stopped hesitating and slapped the handcuffs on Briar�s hands.

�Let go of me! Don�t touch me!� Briar cried emotionally as she begged. �Stefan. I�m innocent! Believe me! Tell them to release me! The baby will be terrified! You can ignore me, but don�t ignore the baby!�

Stefan furrowed his brows, his cold face not twitching the slightest as he said, �Take her away!�

�Don�t worry, Mr. Hunt. It�s a routine taking of statements. We won�t make things difficult for Ms. Desrosiers.�

Having said that, the two policemen escorted Briar to the police cruiser.

Though the car had long driven off. Briar�s ghostly cries could still be heard.

Renee watched the cruiser fade into the distance and let out a long sigh. She never expected things to turn out this way. She had only wanted to retrieve her quilt and not send Briar to the police station.

After all, Briar was still a pregnant woman. If anything happened to her, wouldn�t the blame fall on Renee?

�What�s wrong with you, Stefan? Couldn�t you tell that I was simply exaggerating? Why did you actually let the police take her away?�

Renee groaned as she rubbed her forehead to stave off the oncoming headache.

With a troubled look, she continued gravely, �Even if you really do have a secret crush on me, you don�t have to make such sacrifices. Briar is pregnant with your child, and if anything happens to her, don�t come looking for me!�

Stefan was speechless in the face of Renee�s words and actions. Why hadn�t he ever known how shameless and foolish this woman was?

In his memory. Renee had been a budding white flower. A timid, soft�spoken woman, she�d surely blush whenever she looked at him. JrNovels.com
