Renee’s instincts told her it was from Stefan since the screen showed that the call was from Beach


    City. She wanted to ignore it at first, but her phone wouldn’t stop ringing.

    Sophia looked at her fondly and gestured for her to pick it up. Renee did not want to make her


    suspicious, so she pretended to be calm and answered the call.


    ‘So, you finally decided to answer the phone!” Stefan’s icy voice from the other end of the phone made


    her shiver.


    It brought back shes of her nightmare earlier, but she yed dumb and said, “What? An insurance


    company? I’m sorry but I don’t need insurance. Goodbye!”


    ‘ Renee, don’t you dare hang up. You-“


    Stefan’s threat was promptly cut off as she ended the call.


    “Hmm, my phone number must’ve been leaked. I’ve been receiving tons of calls from these kinds of


    companies. It’s so annoying!” Renee calmly exined to Sophia while subtly blocked the number.


    However, another number called soon after, and then another. Every time Renee blocked one number,


    another one would call. It was so frequent that she had to make an excuse to go to the toilet to secretly


    call him back.


    ’Are you crazy, Stefan? Why do you keep calling me? Please keep in mind that you are my ex-husband


    who shouldn’t even be on my contact list!” Renee scolded in a low voice.


    After a few minutes of silence, the man at the other end said icily, ’It’s not my intention to disturb you. I


    just want to ask if my mother went to you and if she is currently alright.”


    ‘Hasn’t she gotten back yet?’ Renee was surprised. Beach City and Sutton were not very far apart from


    each other, so Francine should have arrived at Beach City ages ago. How could she be missing? Did


    something happen during her journey back there?


    ’From what you’re saying, my mother did go to Sutton to look for you, didn’t she?”


    ’Yes, she did, but I helped her go back that same night. There’s no way she hasn’t reached yet!” Renee


    hissed.


    ’Damn it!’ He cursed furiously, then growled, “I’m going to the Baldwin residence now to ask for her.


    You’d better pray that she’s alright, or I won’t spare you, or anyone in the Baldwin family!”


    ’What? You’reing here? Are you crazy?! You-’ Before Renee could protest, Stefan ended the call.


    Meanwhile, Sophia knocked on the door of the bathroom and asked in concern, “Ren, is anything


    wrong? Do you need help?”


    Renee sighed softly, opened the door, and walked out. “It’s nothing. I was only calling my nanny to tell


    her I’m alright.”


    Renee was secretly worried. What would happen if Stefan really came to the Baldwin residence? The


    two families would surely go to war then, and the consequences would be unimaginable!


    She couldn’t let hime to the Baldwin residence… or, at the very least, she could not let him meet


    the Baldwins.


    Sophia did not suspect anything. She held Renee’s hand and said warmly,’ Today is your first day at


    the Baldwin residence. Grandpa Baldwin, Uncle Jack, and Justin have been waiting for you to have


    breakfast!”


    “They are waiting for me?” Renee looked at the sun shining brightly in the sky, and felt embarrassed.


    She had slept until noon, but the whole Baldwin


    family was actually still waiting for her to have breakfast. She felt really bad for troubling them so much.


    It was a ssic European-style dining room. All three generations of the Baldwin family were sitting


    around an antique round table with a traditional European breakfast in front of them.


    The three men, from grandfather to grandson, were sitting so stiffly that anyone could guess they were


    military men.
