Renee felt bad for Leia and encouraged her like she was encouraging her own daughter, Abby.

�I know the last few years have been difficult for you. When I return, you won�t be alone, and we�ll be the best pair ever!�

�How soon before you�ll be back? Are you sure you�re not going to lie to me again?�

For the past few years, Leia had been praying like crazy for Renee�s return.

Every time when they were on call, Renee�s answer would always be, �Just wait for a while; the time isn�t perfect yet.� And so she waited� for four years.

�For four years, you lied to me. I witnessed Aiden and Abby�s development from small infants to large kids. They progressed from speaking nonsense to being completely capable of arguing with me. Despite this, I never saw them. How could you treat me this way? Haha. It�s completely my fault!�

Renee then stated solemnly, �This time, I�m not lying.�

�Fine. I�ll put my faith in you one more time.� Leia exclaimed proudly.

�However, I must remind you that if you do bring the children here, you must keep them well hidden.�

Leia became concerned. �Your ex-husband is not a nice person. He failed to have a kid with Briar for a few years. I believe he would want to steal your children, particularly Aiden, who appears exactly like him.�

�Steal my children?�

Renee�s icy eyes grew furious, and she sneered. �I like to see if he�s capable.�

�I have faith in you, Ren. After all, Azure Group has grown quickly under your supervision. This time, however, your opponent is none other than Stefan himself. People are afraid of him because his methods are so evil. It will be tough if you actually fight with him.�

Leia shook her head, concerned.

Stefan wasn�t easy to work with, and the Hunts were no less challenging.

Renee, despite her strength, had to fight her battle alone. Even with the Osbornes� assistance, her prospects of victory were still slim.

�Why don�t you stay there and never return? Aiden is so cute that I would be devastated if he took him away!�

�Impossible!�

Renee exuded assurance.

�Did you really think that I�ve simply been enjoying life all these years on that island?� she asked, a profound grin on her face. �If Stefan tries to take my children away from me, it�ll be me he�ll be fighting with!� JrNovels.com
