Chapter: 508
Although her words seemed harsh, she was just trying to protect Francine. The Baldwin family wasn�t a tolerant family � they were like the royal family of Sutton with the military in their hands.
If anything happened, Francine�s identity as Mrs. Hunt wouldn�t help much.
�A family banquet?� Francine smiled elegantly. "You�re not family either, but you�re still sitting here.�
Renee was speechless. �I can�t help her anymore!�
Francine had been protected well over the years, so she was oblivious and had absolutely no sense of danger.
Suddenly, Austin said coldly, �Francine, the Milford family was indeed connected by blood to the Hunt family, but that ended the minute the Milford family married into the Hunt family. Just tell me why you�re here, or else, don�t blame me for being ruthless!�
Hearing this, Francine raised her eyebrows, put down the glass in her hand and said slowly, �If that�s the case, then I�ll be honest. The reason I�m here is to bring my daughter-in-law back.�
Instantly, everyone became tense and their faces darkened.
"Renee grew up in Beach City,� Francine said confidently. �The economy there is flourishing and everything is perfect. Sutton, on the other hand, is impoverished, inconvenient, and has terrible transportation. I can�t watch her stay here and suffer.�
The Baldwin family�s expressions were thunderous, and nobody said a word, but the atmosphere was dangerously tense.
Renee became even more scared, and she tugged on Francine�s arm and whispered, �Miss Milford, I advise you to stop talking. Why are you insulting this city?�
Francine was a really brave woman!
�I�m not insulting it, I�m just stating facts. If you look at the annual global wealth list, Beach City far out ranks Sutton. The numbers are practically on opposite ends of the list. Am I wrong for merely stating the obvious?�
Francine grabbed Renee�s hand and stood up. �Anyway, enough about the past. I can tell that Stefan really like you. Come back with me, and the two of you can have a fresh start!�
�Miss Milford, don�t do this.� Renee flatly refused her request, saying firmly, "Didn�t Stefan tell you? At the airport, I told him clearly that I chose Justin over him. Otherwise, I would not have come to Sutton with Justin. Since my relationship with Stefan has already ended, we should be giving each other space. You can�t keep bothering me like this.�
�It�s impossible. I don�t believe you!� Francine was like a stubborn child trying to fight for a toy. �You loved Stefan so much before this, there�s no way you can let him go just like that. I know you�re angry that Stefan did you wrong and the Hunt family didn�t appreciate you and treated you badly, but you shouldn�t make the wrong choices just because you�re angry. The Baldwin family are like a pack of wolves � none of them are good people. You�ll only suffer if you marry into their family!�
�Francine, shut up! I�ve had enough of you.� Sophia snarled, and turned to the door as she ordered, "This woman is mad. She dared to cause a scene at the Baldwin family�s banquet! Lock her up and let her think about her mistakes.�
Soon after, two armed men in black uniforms entered through the front door, and forcibly dragged Francine out.
Seeing this, Renee panicked and immediately stepped forward to stop them. �Hold on, let�s talk it out. There�s no need for violence.�
Sophia smiled at her and said gently, �Renee, it�s best you don�t get involved in this. Since she�s in Sutton, she has to abide by our rules. JrNovels.com
