This was the last push that Renee needed to move on completely. The tinge of sadness in her heart had completely vanished.

�So this means you were cheating on me, right?�

Before Stefan could respond, Briar hurriedly placed herself between them. Teary-eyed, she said, �Miss Everheart, it�s all my fault! If it makes you feel better, you can punish me however you want��

Renee nearly burst out laughing when she saw Briar break character.
