Chapter 176
Renee realized she was the only one who felt awkward. Stefan seemed comfortable and acted as free
as he was at home. It profoundly interpreted the quote. “It’s only embarrassing if you care what people
think.”
Earlier, Charles Hanns smashed the stuff in the entire living room and made a terrible mess. Only the
sofa area seemed to be
untouched.
Stefan sat gracefully on the couch and crossed his legs. He asked Renee, “How are you? Have you
gotten used to your new place?”
“What do you think? This is my home. Why can’t I get comfortable here?”
Renee looked around and flashed a meek smile. “I’m finally home after four years of wandering. I have
to say, home sweet
home!”

to Hunt Villa. If you want to go back, you can move anytime. It’s your home.”
Renee almost thought she had misheard Stefan. The kind look on her face vanished, replaced by
disdain.
“Stefan, aren’t you being a hypocrite? Remember when you made me move out overnight to make
room for Desrosiers? That’s not what you said at the time.”
A man’s delayed affection was simply worthless. Besides, Stefan was not actually in love with her. He
needed her help.
Renee knew why Stefan came to her, but she kept quiet and refused to discuss it. She did not want to
give him what he wanted!
“I was wrong before. I didn’t expect Briar to be so unreasonable,” Stefan said, his disgust visible in his
eyes. Thinking back, he did not have a good impression of Briar during their first meeting. She looked
soft and harmless, though her complex eyes said otherwise. They seemed to be filled with cunning
thoughts.
Unlike Briar, Renee’s pair of bright and clear eyes looked as pure as the water of a mountain spring
amid a quiet valley.
Stefan had to admit. He often felt that fluttering in his chest whenever he looked into Renee’s eyes.
“I didn’t know she would ruin Hunt Villa like this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have allowed her to step foot
in it.”
Stefan rarely stayed in Hunt Villa, but he loved the sunflowers in the garden. However, the sunflowers
were all gone, replaced
by a field of boring roses.
It was not only the sunflower. All traces of Renee’s presence were gone, which made him inexplicably
uncomfortable.
“Ah. So what?”
Renee no longer had the patience to waste time with Stefan. She directly exposed his intention and
said coldly, “You know your lover is terrible. Even so, you still came for her, begging for my mercy.”

“Aren’t you the proud and almighty Mr. Hunt? Why did you come to me? Would you lick your ex–wife’s
boot for a woman like her? Isn’t that true love?”
Surprised by Renee’s intelligence, Stefan let out a long sigh. “Yeah. I’m here for Briar today.”
After a short pause, he said directly. “She’s still in the hospital because she’s still in shock. I want you to
drop the case.”
‘I knew it!‘ Renee thought. Stefan was only here for Briar. Somehow, her heart still ached a little at this
realization.
Renee took a deep breath. “She stole and destroyed my belongings. The evidence is all there. Why
should I drop the case?”
With Stefan’s status, he could easily get Briar out of trouble. But, unfortunately, the ruthless Renee
decided to send her lawyer, Zack Rosenwell. His law firm filed a suit, leaving Stefan no time to react.
Even if Stefan had the power, he could not openly defy the law. The only way to resolve this was to get
Renee to drop the case.
or Briar might very well end up in jail if the court so decided!
Stefan’s patience was gone. He looked annoyed. “Tell me. What do I have to do to make you let her
go?”
