Chapter 166

Renee was stunned.

She hadn't expected Stefan to be willing to turn his back on his own family. If she remembered correctly, he had been very protective of Briar before this, despite the obvious fact of her being a two-faced bitch. He treated her like a fragile flower. touching it gingerly in fear of damaging it instead of holding it tight.

Had he gotten tired of Briar so quickly?

'Tsk. The attention span of a man really is worse than a child's! It was the right decision to divorce him!' Renee thought as she quietly celebrated her correct choice.

When the two policemen saw Stefan's stance, they stopped hesitating and slapped the handcuffs on Briar's hands.

"Let go of me! Don't touch me!" Briar cried emotionally as she begged. "Stefan. I'm innocent! Believe me! Tell them to release me! The baby will be terrified! You can ignore me, but don't ignore the baby!"

Stefan furrowed his brows, his cold face not twitching the slightest as he said, "Take her away!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Hunt. It's a routine taking of statements. We won't make things difficult for Ms. Desrosiers."

Having said that, the two policemen escorted Briar to the police cruiser.

Though the car had long driven off. Briar's ghostly cries could still be heard.

Renee watched the cruiser fade into the distance and let out a long sigh. She never expected things to turn out this way. She

had only wanted to retrieve her quilt and not send Briar to the police station.

After all, Briar was still a pregnant woman. If anything happened to her, wouldn't the blame fall on Renee?

"What's wrong with you, Stefan? Couldn't you tell that I was simply exaggerating? Why did you actually let the police take her away?" Renee groaned as she rubbed her forehead to stave off the oncoming headache.

With a troubled look, she continued gravely, "Even if you really do have a secret crush on me, you don't have to make such sacrifices. Briar is pregnant with your child, and if anything happens to her, don't come looking for me!"

Stefan was speechless in the face of Renee's words and actions. Why hadn't he ever known how shameless and foolish this

woman was?

In his memory. Renee had been a budding white flower. A timid, soft-spoken woman, she'd surely blush whenever she looked at him.

She now carried herself proudly like a queen, displaying an image that was hard for him to comprehend.

He suddenly thought of a saying: the first response of falling in love was to feel inferior.

Did that mean... that Renee really no longer loved him?

Because she didn't love him anymore, was that why she felt free to be herself?

With that conclusion swimming in his mind, Stefan's heart clenched, and he felt awfully uncomfortable.

Renee glanced around for a moment, and when she couldn't find what she was looking for, started to complain, "Ugh. I couldn't find my stuff in the first place, and you had to send away the one person who knew where it was. It'll be even harder to find

now."

Stefan came out of his thoughts and coldly asked, "What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for my suitcase. There's something very important inside," Renee replied, then let out a long sigh.

It seemed like she would have to look for it herself.

The entire villa spanned an area of hundreds of square feet, and finding a small box would certainly be almost impossible. Stefan crossed his arms and watched the woman go about looking for it. He didn't say a word and simply shook his head as

she shuffled around.

What a damn stubborn woman! What exactly was in the box? Was it worth the trouble she was going through?

Thus, unable to stand the sight of Renee trundling around like a headless chicken, he summoned all the staff in the villa to help her look for it.

With the abundant manpower at their disposal, they scoured all four floors of the villa, its surrounding gardens, and even under the carpets, but they couldn't find anything.

"Did Briar dump it somewhere outside?" Renee wondered out loud as she rubbed her chin, thinking about this possibility. Suddenly, a young maid came up, gasping for breath as she huffed, "I I-I found it...! It... It's just that it scared me a little!"
