Chapter: 507
Renee was speechless and thought to herself, �Didn�t we just meet yesterday? And also, are we even that close?�
Sophia was the most furious among everyone at the table. She stood up, pointed at the door, and growled, �Francine, don�t talk nonsense! The whole world knows your son divorced Renee. She�s my future daughter-in- law now! Leave this place � you�re not welcome here!�
Francine, however, didn�t back down. She slowly poured herself a glass of red wine and swirled her glass as she smiled sweetly. �Sophia, why are you so tense? We�ve been best friends since we were little. We used to have the same taste in things, from small things like flowers and dolls to bigger things like jewelry� and men.�
�Francine, shut your mouth!� Sophia�s face had darkened and her hand was reaching for the wine bottle. It seemed like she was ready to fight Francine.
Francine had been doted on by her family when she was a kid, and even as an adult, her husband and son loved her and doted on her. She had become a blissfully ignorant woman because of this, and she continued bluntly, �Back then, both of us were in love with Stefan�s father. Since I was older, I wanted to let you have him, but he fell in love with me and insisted on marrying me. So, I married him, and it�s been 20 years since I last saw you.�
�Francine, that�s enough. Aren�t you ashamed to talk about all this in front of the youngsters?� Sophia clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth.
If she wasn�t trying to maintain her good image in front of Renee, she would have gladly fought
Francine!
�What is there to be ashamed about? We fought because of Stefan�s father, and your husband knows it too. It�s all in the past, so there�s nothing to be ashamed about.�
After Francine was done speaking, she clinked glasses with Renee and laughed. �You see, daughter-in-law? I was young once too. My love life back then was far more interesting than whatever is happening in this generation.�
Renee smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond. She knew that Francine was arrogant, but she didn�t know she could be so bold.
Has Francine just come here to boast about her relationships?
�How dare you!� Jack slammed the table, his face fierce as he shouted,� Do you think you�re in Beach City? This is the Baldwin family�s territory. If you dare to continue this nonsense and upset my wife, then don�t blame me for hurting you!�
Francine rolled her eyes and remarked sarcastically, �Oh, I�m so scared. Jack, we used to be childhood sweethearts, and your wife and I were really close when we were kids. How can you threaten me like this?�
�You!� Jack was so enraged that he clenched his fists, about to hit her.
When Renee saw this, she immediately stood in front of Jack and calmed him down. �Uncle Jack, don�t be mad. Miss Milford is known for being rude and blunt. Just think of her as an underdeveloped child, okay? There�s no point in arguing with a child.�
She was able to endure the years in the Hunt family because of this mindset. Francine wasn�t a bad person, it was just that she had an annoying personality and her words were usually harsh.
Honestly, Francine was actually a good person. Among the rich in Beach City, she did the most charity and would always donate lots of money to help those in need. Hence, even if Francine bullied Renee a lot in the past, Renee never hated her.
�That�s right. Listen to Renee. Don�t get mad at a mad woman.� Sophia scoffed as she and Jack finally calmed down.
Renee turned to Francine and said, �Miss Milford, if there�s nothing else, please go home. This is a family banquet, and an outsider like you shouldn�t be here.� JrNovels.com
