Chapter: 684
After a long time, she hung up the call gloomily.
�What is it, Miss Francine? Is there any news of Stefan?� asked Briar anxiously.
�Yes.� Francine nodded without the slightest joy on her face.
�That�s great. How�s Stefan now? Where is he? Did he say that it was them who did it to him?� asked Briar eagerly.
She guessed that something unpleasant must have happened between Renee and Stefan. Liam�s reaction wouldn�t have been so defensive otherwise.
Now that Stefan was found, she certainly wasn�t about to let them escape!
After a long silence, Francine said with a complicated expression, �Stefan is � quite well. We have misjudged Miss Everheart and Mr. Osborne.�
�What?� Briar and Liam shouted simultaneously in surprise.
�It�s good that he�s okay.� Renee was relieved to hear the news.
Liam would�ve concealed something to not make her worry, but a calculating person like Francine would�ve pounced on her long ago if something bad happened to Stefan. As Francine had no reason to hide from her, she had reason to believe that Stefan should be fine and that she didn�t need to be so worried.
�Stefan is alright. He told me to tell you to recuperate so you can be discharged from the hospital soon��
Francine stared at Renee. She was obviously saying some caring words, but her extremely cold gaze made her seem as if she wanted to flay Renee alive.
�This is impossible. Miss Francine, you heard what the nurse said just now, that Stefan�s condition is very serious. How come he�s suddenly fine and even emphasized that it has nothing to do with them?�
Briar, eager to stir up trouble, refused to let go of such an opportunity to slander Renee and continued to fan the flames. �Who�s the call from? Have you been cheated? I think we�d better call the police first!�
Francine glared at her coldly. �Do you really hope that something bad has happened to my son?�
�I-I don�t mean that, Miss Francine. You�ve misunderstood me. I�m just worried that��
�Enough. I know when we should or should not call the police!�
Francine stopped Briar impatiently and, with a grave tone, said, �I will find out who exactly the culprit who harmed my son is. But, I, Francine Milford, will never slander an innocent person, nor will I let a guilty one go free!�
Finally, Francine and Briar left the ward.
Renee stared into the void for a long time at the direction they left. JrNovels.com
