Francine snorted and sized Renee from head to toe before mockingly saying, “Stefan won’t even touch


    her, so how can she be pregnant? She’s just a waste of our money.”


    Francine’s words were so cruel that Renee instantly clenched her fist when she heard them. Just as


    she was about to say something, Leia stepped forward and insulted Francine.


    “Hahaha! You’re not that capable, either. One of your sons died, and the other had an affair. If I were


    you, I would reflect on why my sons are useless. Aren’t you afraid your grandchildren will get karma


    because of your nasty remarks?”


    Before Renee had a divorce, Leia kept quiet and didn’t interfere in their family matter. But now that


    Renee was getting a divorce, she wouldn’t stay silent anymore.


    Francine was furious when she heard that, and she turned pale with anger as she pointed a finger at


    Leia. “You…”


    When Briar saw this, she felt that this was an opportunity for her to get on Francine’s good side. She


    instantly stood. between Francine and Leia, then acted like a pitiful victim as she said, “Miss Osborne,


    you can’t say that to your elder. Even if you’re not satisfied, you can’t be unreasonable.”


    Leia felt rage course through her at Briar’s words.


    She didn’t want to be aggressive before this but couldn’t hold it anymore. She grabbed Briar and hit her


    across the face.


    p!


    A crisp noise rang out clearly, causing Briar and Francine to be stunned instantly. Francine hadn’t


    thought that a softie like Renee would have such a fierce friend that was not one to mess with.


    She looked at Renee and demanded, “Why are you standing there? Tell your friend to apologize now,


    or else I won’t drop this matter so easily!”


    Renee stood where she was and calmly said, “You should apologize instead. I am afraid her face might


    be too thick from how shameless she is that it hurt my friend’s hand.”


    “What?!”


    When Francine realized that Renee didn’t care, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

    She raised her hand, intending to p Leia, but Renee grabbed her wrist instantly and coldly said,


    “Miss Francine, it’s bad to sneak up on someone else.”


    Francine was stunned to see the sharp look in Renee’s eyes, as it was theplete opposite of how


    Renee used to be.


    Suddenly, Briar sat on the floor with a thud and screamed, “Oh, my stomach!”


    “What are you doing?” Stefan appeared, and his handsome face was dark as he asked solemnly.


    When Francine saw Stefan, she became even more arrogant.


    “Stefan, you’re finally here. If you didn’te in time, Renee and her violent friend were about to beat


    us up! You have to teach these two a lesson today!”


    Stefan didn’t care about Francine but rushed to help Briar and asked, “Are you okay? Do you need to


    see the doctor?”


    Briar had pretended to be hurt, so naturally, she didn’t need or want to go to the hospital. She said


    weakly, “I’m fine. It’s just that I got pped, but it didn’t hurt my stomach. I’ll be fine after some rest.”


    When Stefan saw the mark on her face, his cold face grew even more frigid.


    He stared coldly at Renee and asked with a hint of steel in his voice. “Shouldn’t you exin what’s


    going on?”
