�Stop joking around!� She stepped back and tried to push him away. �I�m not interested in being a housewife. I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully.�

He gently pushed her up against the wall and murmured, �Phoenix, look at me. Even if you�re not interested in being a housewife� aren�t you interested in me?�

Honestly, Justin was an attractive man, but Renee wasn�t familiar with him yet, so his actions weirded her out.

She ducked out from under him and pushed him against the wall, twisting his arm behind his back. Justin let out a muffled groan, his charming face smashed against the wall.

Renee growled menacingly in his ear, "You�d better behave around me, brat. Don�t try to flirt with me or I�ll tear your limbs off!�

�Ah! It hurts. Boss, let me go!� Justin yelped, not expecting her to be this strong. He squealed so loudly that the entire courtyard could hear him.

When Sophia heard this, she smiled happily. �Good! Justin didn�t fail me.�

Inside the room.

Renee only let Justin go after teaching him a lesson.

�Phoenix, you�re a girl but you�re also a hacker and a fighter. Who would dare to marry you if you�re this fierce?� Justin groaned and rubbed his neck which had almost been snapped by Renee, keeping his distance as he teased her.

�Are you still going to talk nonsense?� She held her arm in the air and stared at him coldly.

�No, definitely not!� He immediately stepped back. "This is just the way I talk. You can�t possibly expect me to keep quiet all the time, right?�

�I do. It seems you�re just a naturally annoying human.� She scoffed and slowly put her hand down, and then tentatively asked, �What are you going to do to Francine?�

Justin clenched his jaw, and said casually, �We�ll let her suffer and teach her how to be a proper human being!�

�Are you insane?� Renee was a little overwhelmed by all this. �She�s Stefan�s mom; the Hunt family will not let you go if anything happens to her. You might have an army, but the Hunt family can�t be underestimated either. If a fight breaks out, both families will suffer!�

�Both families will suffer?� Justin�s gaze was cold as he sneered, �Every battle must have a winner and a loser. Though we�ve appeared to tolerate each other over the years, we�ve actually been competing with each other. I think it�s about time to drop the act and face each other head on.�

The Baldwin family had always wanted to launch an attack on the Hunt family, but they just never had a reason to. Since Francine had appeared on her own and insulted them, it was practically a sign telling them it was time to go to battle.

�But��

�Don�t interfere in this matter, Phoenix. You�re from the Everheart family which we have no quarrel with. All you have to do is sit patiently and watch the show.�

After Justin was done speaking, he dusted off his clothes. �It�s late, and you must be tired. Have a good rest. I�ll leave now.� JrNovels.com
