Renee eventually agreed to Geronimo�s request with the greater good in mind, but the man ended up ridiculing her after she agreed.

�Hahah! You�re delusional!�

Geronimo sneered from the high horse he was on. �What makes you think that the Osbornes would want a low-quality item that someone else has swept out of their house? My loser son may be a lovesick idiot, but I�m not. Not to mention, you don�t love my son at all! Even if you two really loved each other, I would never allow you to become my daughter-in-law!�

�The Hunts have oppressed us at every turn. If I were to take a woman that the Hunts rejected, my reputation would be in shambles! Even if you don�t have a brain and think with your toes, it�s impossible for that to ever happen!�

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also didn�t forget to take a jab where they could.

�All of you, shut up! Don�t talk about Ren that way! Have you forgotten that shesaved Liam and me before? With our family�s status, even if we cultivatedanother eight hundred years, we�d still not be able to match up with Ren!� Leia yelled angrily at her family, and her cheeks flushed red.

�Take her away!� Liam ordered Leia, his head hanging low and fists clenched. His goddess and savior had been humiliated by his family! He was so ashamedthat he couldn�t even find the courage to look at Renee!

�Geronimo, you better beat me to death today, or don�t blame me for becoming a rebel!� Liam coldly warned Geronimo.

Although the older man was his respected father, he had touched something precious of his! It wasn�t something he could tolerate!

�You stupid beat! How dare you say such damning things to me just for the sake of a used woman! Fine! I�ll fulfill your wish and beat you to death!�

Geronimo had also been driven to desperation by Liam�s words, and he brought down the whip two more times, where it struck skin and flesh with impunity.

Hayden naturally cried for him to stop, and the entire scene became chaotic again.

�Enough!�

Renee, who had been silent the entire time, said indifferently, �Uncle Geronimo, your opinion was very objective, and I wholeheartedly agree. As a divorced woman, I should have kept my distance from your son. However, not only have I failed to do that in the past few years, but I�ve also gotten close to him and shamelessly enjoyed the benefits of his efforts. I was too selfish.�

�Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness!�

The reason for Geronimo humiliating her in this manner was because he hoped it would make Renee understand her status and stop seducing his precious son in the future.

Renee continued, �The money Liam spent on me all these years and the money he borrowed from the bank, I�ll repay it all with a three percent interest, principal included. Please don�t blame him anymore. All of it is my fault, and I�ll fix this mess myself!�

�Those are some nice words. The money my son spent on you over the years is probably between three to five billion. You say you�ll repay it all with a three percent interest. Where are you going to get the money?�

Geronimo was very dismissive. In his opinion, Renee was just a rich abandoned woman whom Stefan had kicked out. She could hardly protect herself, let alone obtain such an impossible amount of money!

�You don�t have to worry about that!� Renee said coldly. �I�ll say it clearly now. In three days, I�ll pay the money back in full, but you have to keep your promise and not give Liam any more trouble!� JrNovels.com
