Chapter: 523

She first gave herself an emotional backstory. Covering her face, she started sobbing, �My darling and I love each other very much, but he cheated on me and had an affair with another woman. I was very angry, so I divorced him and used Justin as a tool to make him care more about me! Now that my darling came alone to Sutton for my sake, I�m very moved. Though he knew that he would surely die in the hands of the Baldwins, he still came. So, I�m not going to be angry with him anymore� I want to go back with him!�

Her heartfelt words stunned everyone. Even the sharp-witted Stefan was so taken in by her performance that he subconsciously tightened his embrace.

Austin knitted his eyebrows and was immersed in his thoughts for a long time. Then, he fixed his fierce wolf-like eyes on Renee. �So, what you�re saying is� you�ve been using Justin and us this whole time, and you were acting from the very beginning to deceive the Baldwin family?�

Renee inhaled deeply and nodded guiltily. �I�m very sorry. I was wrong."

�Don�t-!� Justin wanted to stop her but it was too late. He hit his forehead on the table and groaned.

�She can�t be saved. Renee, you idiot! It�s not worth it!�

It was too foolish for her to risk her life for this cheater!

Justin knew Austin very well � the old man detested lies and was very stubborn. Once he lost his temper, he could even kill others. How would this end now?

�Well, isn�t that just great?� Austin had obviously lost control of his emotions. He pointed his revolver at Renee and said icily, �I like you, and admire you very much. I would have even used all my resources to nurture you because you are Maurice�s granddaughter, but this is just too disappointing� The first rule of the Baldwin family is that anyone who dares to betray the family shall die!�

Seeing Austin was about to fire the gun, Justin jumped in front of Renee in the nick of time and said nonchalantly, �Grandpa, that�s our family rule. What does it have to do with an outsider? If you really want to fire the gun, you can just aim it at me!"

�Do you think I wouldn�t dare to do that?� Austin sneered.

�Of course, you would. You can kill all of us without even batting an eyelid. How cool is that?� Justin said cheekily.

Sophia was so anxious she jumped to her feet. �Shut up, brat! Isn�t the situation messy enough already?�

Jack also feared that Austin would really shoot his son and bravely interrupted, �Please calm down, Father. These young people are still immature. They don�t think before they speak. As an adults, we should educate them and give them a chance to turn over a new leaf.�

His words somehow moved the arbitrary man. Austin slowly put away his revolver and said to Renee,

�Child, I still believe you�re very talented. Your achievements can be greater than mine and your grandfather, if you get the right training. It would be a waste if you�re sacrificed like this, so I want to give you a chance. As long as you cut ties with this man once and for all and stay with Justin, I will forgive you.�

Renee frowned slightly and asked, �Are you saying that you�re willing to let Stefan go?�

�I had no intention of letting the Hunts go, but if you are willing to marry Justin, I can consider it��

Austin believed that he was being very generous in this situation. It was partly because Renee was the only granddaughter of his respected Maurice � any other person who dared to do this would have already been dead.

�I�� Renee was in a dilemma. JrNovels.com
