Chapter: 68
�You�� Stefan was so enraged by her response that he saw red. The dress had been made by the chief. designer of Gucci � even most wealthy ladies could not afford such a top-quality dress, yet Renee had the gall to say that it looked like something a nun would wear!
But then again� it was indeed a little on the prudish side.
�Say,� Renee suddenly turned to Stefan with a twinkle in her eye and asked him teasingly, �was it because. you thought that my body was not worthy of being shown in public for everyone to admire?�
�Whether or not your figure is worthy of being shown in public and admired is my business and mine only.�
Stefan stared at Renee with burning eyes as he said that, and there was a hint of possessiveness in his tone that even he did not notice himself.
You�re my wife,� he reminded her �Don�t forget that. It�s your most basic duty to appear as dignified as possible Dressing the way you do now is completely indecent. In fact, you�re only attracting unwanted attention this way!�
Stefan thought of those men just now who had been ogling Renee as if their eyes were going to fall out of the sockets, and he felt strangely furious. He even had the urge to gauge those men�s eyes out!
�Put this on!� he ordered, taking off his coat and roughly wrapping it around Renee�s body.
�You�re acting like my dad� Renee laughed, but her charming eyes were full of mockery and disdain. �I�m not sure if you noticed that it�s no longer the Victorian era, Mr. Hunt I�m the master of my body, so if I want to attract any attention, it�s perfectly in my right to do so it�s absolutely none of your business.
As she spoke, she removed the coat and hung it on her index finger, slowly uttering, �I have no need for your good intentions�
After finishing her sentence, she let go of Stefan�s black coat, which fell straight to the floor.
With her chin raised high, she walked away from him confidently like a proud peacock, her enchanting figure disappearing into the distance.
With a gloomy face, Stefan stayed silent as her graceful figure walked away He was burning with rage, yet he realized it was not his place to interfere with her anymore He had lost that right.
The host repeatedly tapped on the champagne glass, announcing that the Charity Dinner Gala was about to begin officially.
All the dignitaries and VIPs were gathered here for the annual banquet. Stefan, Renee, and Liam were all seated in the first row. Directly behind them in the second row were Charlotte, Micah, Briar, and the others.
�Look at her, Bri! Didn�t I tell you how shallow and superficial that Everheart woman is? All she does is seduce men everywhere all day long!� Charlotte glared at Renee�s sexy back as she grumbled through gritted teeth to Briar.
Briar quickly shushed her, �Not so loud, Charlotte! Someone might hear you.�
�So what if anyone heard me? Wasn�t everything I said true?� Charlotte was almost mad with jealousy at that point, and she continued her verbal assault, �Who does she think she is, sitting there with Stefan on her right and Master Osborne on her left? Look at her acting all frivolous and fake! She barely knows how to handle herself-like a rat that has fallen into a rice vat!�
�Hahaha!�
Briar and the other ladies in the same row could not help but purse their lips and laugh at the mockery of Renee-but it could not be helped. When you were the person who stood out the most in a gathering such as this one, you would inevitably become the target of envy and jealousy. JrNovels.com
