�When did she learn to speak like that? It�s like her tongue is made of thorns. She doesn�t have any resemblance to that gentle little bunny she used to be back then��

�Goodbye!� said Renee as she left without an ounce of hesitation.

It was too late to show affection now, she simply couldn�t care less. Besides, this wasn�t exactly an act of love. He just didn�t want to feel guilty for his actions.

If that was the case, she didn�t need him to worry about her safety.

However, before Renee could exit the ward, she immediately bumped right into her mother-in-law.

�Ugh, watch it, you!� Francine hissed as she rubbed her forehead, trying to ease the pain. Once she realized that it was Renee who knocked into her, her anger flared up.

�Why are you here?!�

�I knew my little Fan would rub off your bad luck!�

Renee chuckled coldly. �I�m sorry, please just endure me for another twenty days, okay?�

�What do you mean?� Francine lifted her gaze, her tone hostile. �It�s not like you�ll be flying off after twenty days.�

�Well, I can�t, but�� Renee shone her a frosty yet polite smile. �But we�ll be legally divorced once twenty days are up.�

�Even if your son were to grovel in front of me, I�ve sworn to never get involved with the Hunt family anymore. I figured that would be the best for both of us.�

�You� you�� Francine was left in a state of shock.

�What the hell happened? She used to be so obedient back then. She would let me do and say whatever I wanted! Why does it feel like she�s a completely different person now?1 i

�How dare you speak to me that way?!�

�Why would I not dare to?� Renee replied as she was used to Francine�s behavior.

Back then, she would endure her solely because she was Stefan�s mother and her mother-in-law.

Their inevitable separation meant that she simply had no reason to endure her harsh language now.

�I�m just mirroring your attitude towards me. If you�d like me to respect you, earn it.�

�Why you little�!� Francine lifted her hand and was ready to slap her across the face. JrNovels.com
