Under the night sky, a white private jet was parked in a private hangar a distance away from the city


    center.


    Briar, escorted by several strong–looking men, boarded the ne with trepidation.


    “Stefan, I knew you would save me!”


    At the sight of the dignified man sitting inside the jet, the originally uneasy Briar excitedly threw herself


    at him.


    However, Stefan’s expression was cold, maybe even slightly annoyed.


    “Tonight, the jet will send you to Cyseal City, where you’ll stay for the rest of your pregnancy. You will


    not make any contact with the outside world until the baby is born.”


    His voice that was devoid of emotion flustered Briar.


    “What’s the meaning of this, Stefan? Are you trying to hide me away? How’s that any different from


    going to jail?”


    Stefan’s handsome face was expressionless as he coldly snorted, “You can choose to go back and go


    to jail if you want!”


    “No!”


    Briar was very emotional. She immediately transformed into a weak, helpless girl with tears streaming


    down her cheeks. She said pitifully, “Stefan, what’s wrong with you? Why are you being so cold to me?”


    “You know I’m innocent! Shouldn’t you help me clear my name? Instead, you’re hiding me out of sight


    like I’m some kind of embarrassment! Don’t you think this is really unfair to me?”


    “Unfair?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Stefan coldly said, “You want to talk about fairness in front of Renee Everheart? Don’t you think that’s


    the biggest unfairness of all?”


    Briar was shocked by his cold attitude. She swallowed hard and said cautiously. “I… I don’t understand


    what you mean.”


    She could clearly feel that the man was no longer as easily fooled as before.


    “You’re pregnant with my brother’s child. That’s his only descendant. For the sake of his bloodline,


    Renee could only


    Stefan’s eyes were sharp and piercing. “You use this to usurp Renee from the position that rightfully


    belonged to her. You think


    this is fair?”


    “… …”


    Briar lowered her head and had no reply.


    “If you had simply kept to yourself, I wouldn’t have said anything, and you could get everything that you


    want. Unfortunately…


    you’re too greedy, too malicious. I won’t let you do as you please anymore!”


    Stefan was utterly disappointed with Briar.


    He could not figure out how his excellent and upright elder brother could have fallen for a woman like


    her and even had a child


    with her. Even before he died, hisst words to Stefan was to take care of Briar and their child…


    “Enough talking. Just go!”


    Stefan finished speaking and got up to leave.


    Briar cried and blocked his path. “You misunderstood me, Stefan! I’m not greedy! I just want to give


    birth to Tristan’s baby safely and give him a legitimate identity! It was your idea to divorce Miss Renee


    and marry me! Howe in the end, it’s all my


    Briar’s words made Stefan fall silent.


    He suddenly wondered, if there was no Briar and no baby, would he have divorced Renee?


    He probably would have. After all, the marriage between him and Renee was only a contractual


    marriage. There was no love between them. A divorce was probably only a matter of time.


    “Stefan, I know I’ve made a mistake. I promise you I’ll behave myself from now on. I’ll stay far away


    from Miss Renee. All I want is to be with you and raise Tristan’s only child well. Please, give me


    another chance.”


    Briar grabbed Stefan’s arm and begged hard.


    “The baby will be born in a few months. Do you really want him toe into this world in hiding as an


    illegitimate child? Do you want him to have no father, no legal identity?”


    Briar’s round of questioning made Stefan frown.


    His looked coldly at Briar’s slightly bulging stomach. In the end, he relented. “We’ll talk again after the


    baby is born!”


    “Okay. I trust you, Stefan. I’ll do whatever you ask of me!”


    Briar knew when to push her advantage and when topromise. She said pitifully, “I’ll wait for you,


    wherever I am. The baby


    and I will be waiting for you!”


    The private jet roared into the sky.


    Sitting inside his limousine, Stefan stared with a gloomy expression at the ne that gradually turned


    into a tiny dot.


    ‘Brother, you won’t me me for doing this, will you?”


    The next day.


    Before the trial, Renee received news that Briar hadmitted suicide…
