�An important guest?�

Renee was puzzled. She quickly washed her hands and walked out.

She saw her ex-mother-in-law, Francine Milford, sitting in the living room.

That�s not an important guest! That�s an unfortunate guest!

Last night, Renee and this arrogant woman had parted on bad terms, and now, she was probably back for more.

�What brings you here this early, Miss Francine?�

Renee asked flatly. Her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.

She was not the old Renee anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Francine�s feelings now. If Francine dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!

However, to Renee�s astonishment, Francine actually smiled at her warmly.

�Can�t I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don�t really need a specific reason to come here.�

�Huh?�

Renee�s eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

Did Francine forget to take her meds today? She had always just called Renee the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today�

Margaret said happily, �Miss Ren, Miss Francine is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?�

�Uhh, I��

Before Renee could respond, Margaret had already opened the beautifully packed present.

�Wow, it�s a sapphire necklace. It�s so beautiful! It must be really expensive!�

Margaret was just like a mood maker at a party. She thanked Francine for her generosity, said the necklace would look perfect on Renee, and said the two of them were truly mother and daughter, they understood each other so well!

Renee was perplexed. �What is Margaret doing?! She knows Francine and I are at odds with each other!�

Francine smiled and said, �It�s not that expensive. It only cost a few hundred thousand dollars. I thought it suits you, so I bought it for you.� JrNovels.com
