Renee knew why Stefan came to her, but she kept quiet and refused to discuss it. She did not want to give him what he wanted!

�I was wrong before. I didn�t expect Briar to be so unreasonable,� Stefan said, his disgust visible in his eyes. Thinking back, he did not have a good impression of Briar during their first meeting. She looked soft and harmless, though her complex eyes said otherwise. They seemed to be filled with cunning thoughts.

Unlike Briar, Renee�s pair of bright and clear eyes looked as pure as the water of a mountain spring amid a quiet valley.

Stefan had to admit. He often felt that fluttering in his chest whenever he looked into Renee�s eyes.

�I didn�t know she would ruin Hunt Villa like this. If I had known, I wouldn�t have allowed her to step foot in it.�

Stefan rarely stayed in Hunt Villa, but he loved the sunflowers in the garden. However, the sunflowers were all gone, replaced by a field of boring roses.

It was not only the sunflower. All traces of Renee�s presence were gone, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

�Ah. So what?�

Renee no longer had the patience to waste time with Stefan. She directly exposed his intention and said coldly, �You know your lover is terrible. Even so, you still came for her, begging for my mercy.�

�Aren�t you the proud and almighty Mr. Hunt? Why did you come to me? Would you lick your ex-wife�s boot for a woman like her? Isn�t that true love?�

Surprised by Renee�s intelligence, Stefan let out a long sigh. �Yeah. I�m here for Briar today.�

After a short pause, he said directly. �She�s still in the hospital because she�s still in shock. I want you to drop the case.�

�I knew it!� Renee thought. Stefan was only here for Briar. Somehow, her heart still ached a little at this realization.

Renee took a deep breath. �She stole and destroyed my belongings. The evidence is all there. Why should I drop the case?�

With Stefan�s status, he could easily get Briar out of trouble. But, unfortunately, the ruthless Renee decided to send her lawyer, Zack Rosenwell. His law firm filed a suit, leaving Stefan with no time to react.

Even if Stefan had the power, he could not openly defy the law. The only way to resolve this was to get Renee to drop the case. or Briar might very well end up in jail if the court so decided!

Stefan�s patience was gone. He looked annoyed. �Tell me. What do I have to do to make you let her go?�

Renee found Stefan�s sudden change in temper ridiculous. It must have been hard for an arrogant guy like Stefan to put up such a gentle facade for his lover.

Renee lifted her chin and said with a half smile. �Haven�t I made it clear enough? All you have to do is let your lover kneel down and apologize to me in front of all the media.�

�Don�t go overboard.� Stefan�s eyes turned cold. Somehow. Renee seemed like a complete stranger to him. JrNovels.com
