�I didn�t. Looks like you went ahead and got offended in the first place.� Renee replied as she got up with her luggage. She tilted her head at Briar, who was blocking her path.

�Now if you�ll excuse me. Nice little doggies should know how to stay out of the way.�

�How dare you!� Briar�s face went bright red as she stomped her feet.

�Wasn�t she known to be a living punchbag? When did she learn to talk back like that?�

The housekeeper quickly tried to win Briar over.

�Please calm down, Miss Desrosiers. You shouldn�t upset yourself over a woman like that!�

�You�ll be the lady of the house soon, that insolent witch is insignificant compared to you��

�We�ve also arranged a room for you as per Master Hunt�s orders. Let me lead the way!�

Briar looked visibly pleased by the flattery. She quickly lost the mood to argue with Renee and proceeded to follow the housekeeper into the villa.

Renee was once again left alone outside. Mixed emotions welled up in her chest as she gazed upon the tall building. It felt ironic that she would return to the streets after four years of living here.

�Goodbye, Hunt.� Renee took a deep breath and left.

Later on, she moved into a small one-bedroom apartment downtown.

She felt liberated as soon as she lost her title as the �Second Young Mistress of the Hunt household�.

She was free to do anything she wanted, and she was no longer the caged bird she used to be.

Renee took her phone out and dialed a number she blocked for four years.

�Boss, you�ve finally remembered that I exist! It�s been four years, you know!� A delighted voice exclaimed on the other end of the line.

This person was none other than Liam Osborne, also known as one of the Four Princes of Beach City. Despite his rebellious and unpredictable nature, he made himself sound like an underling when speaking to Renee.

�I heard about your divorce, by the way. Congratulations! You should�ve ditched that *sshole a long time ago!�

�I�m not sure if you know this, but while you were being Mrs. Punchbag, rumors about you started spreading everywhere! If those old geezers knew that you�re actually the ultimate boss they were looking for all this while, they�d flip their sh*t!�

�So? Are we doing something big this time? I can�� JrNovels.com
