Chapter: 509
Anyone who dares to insult the Baldwin family will be held inside the confession room. People will think we�re afraid of the Hunts if we exempt Francine from punishment!�
�But�� Renee turned to look at Austin and Jack who were now calmly sipping wine and eating their food. It was obvious that they were the ones who intended it, but Sophia was the one to execute the plan.
It was just as the rumors said � the Baldwins were pretty much the Sutton royal family, and the power they wielded was far greater than Renee could have imagined.
Justin saw her concerned expression and said reassuringly, �Don�t worry. Miss Francine is too arrogant, so we�re just teaching her a lesson. Nothing bad will happen.�
�That�s right.� Austin smiled and said, �We know our boundaries. Please continue your meal and treat the scene earlier as entertainment, don�t let it ruin your mood.�
Renee finished her meal warily. She felt as if she had voluntarily walked into the lion�s den.
It was already late at night when they arrived at the Baldwin residence. The place was an Elizabethan-era courtyard building, and was divided into four courtyards in the south, east, north, and west. Each courtyard was elegantly decorated with pavilions, carved railings, and jade.
Renee�s room was in the East courtyard, next to Justin.
�Brat, you�d better be a good host and help Ren settle in so she�ll start envisioning this place as her home.� Sophia ordered Justin solemnly before she went back to her room to rest.
�Don�t worry, Mum, I�ll take good care of my girlfriend,� Justin sighed.
�Hmm. Since she�s your girlfriend, the two of you should be staying in the same room. Why get a separate room?�
�Mom, I told you that she�s shy. We�re not married yet, so how can we stay in a room together?� With that, Justin gently pushed Sophia out of the room and said, �Go to sleep. We want to spend time together.�
When Sophia heard this, her eyes shone with excitement. "Yes, please enjoy your time together. Son, do well and don�t fail me.�
Finally, everyone went, leaving just Renee and Justin inside the room.
�Justin, be honest with me, were you trying to trick me?� Renee�s face was tense as she asked seriously.
"Why do you say so?" He was smiling faintly, completely calm.
"You asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend and come meet your parents, but you didn�t tell me it was going to be this grand. Your family even gave me a trained battalion! If I don�t marry you, it�ll look like I�m taking your family for granted,� she protested, clenching her fists.
She was really anxious. The Baldwin family was treating her so well, so she felt guilty for deceiving. Additionally, seeing the way they handled problems, she was worried about rubbing them the wrong way.
�There�s no dilemma at all.� Justin stood up and walked towards Renee slowly with a smirk on his face.
�Instead of pretending to be my girlfriend, you should marry me for real. I wasn�t kidding when I said I want you to be the mistress of the Baldwin family.� JrNovels.com
