�I see. So you�re gonna pressure me using my ex-mother-in-law.�

�No, that�s not my intention. I�m just saying it like it is��

Lydia thought, no matter how wild Renee was, she would never dare to go against Francine Milford.

At this moment, Stefan spoke. �From now on, this villa will be the sole property of Miss Everheart. It�s her right to choose the housekeeper. Which means, you may leave now.�

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 think you�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 keep right this injustice! Renee Everheart is such a cruel woman! She�s bewitched the young 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.� JrNovels.com
