Chapter 192

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee and Zack walked out of the detention center.

Renee could hardly wait to ask Zack, "You said that there's a way to clear Margaret's name and also give Briar Desrosiers a heavier punishment? What exactly do I have to do?"

"It's actually quite simple." Zack said, "If Margaret isn't lying, then her subjective motivation to harm Briar cannot be established, and it naturally wouldn't constitute a criminal offense. In that case, she can even sue Briar for defamation.

“If Margaret is in a bad health condition during this period, and it so happens that Briar's slander causes her emotional trauma, then Briar can also be charged with a criminal offense. Under the criminal law, the penalty for emotional trauma is no less severe than physical trauma."

Renee listened very attentively to every word he said. She instantly asked, "So, as long as I can find a way to prove that Margaret didn't lie or that Briar lied, we can win the case?"

"Correct!" Zack continued, "My suggestion is to find ev

    Renee pointed to the surveillance camera on the wall and said, "No secret stays buried forever. Thank god the entire process of your heinous crime was recorded."Briar was momentarily stunned, and then she burst out laughing. She said smugly, "That's the evidence you have? The surveillance footage? Go ahead and take it to court. We'll see who the judge finds guilty."Renee didn’t expect Briar to be so smug. She guessed Briar must have dealt with the surveillance footage already.However, this would not be a problem for Renee and her amazing hacking skills.It did not matter if Briar had deleted or destroyed the surveillance footage. As long as it once existed, Renee could recover it in minutes."Since you're so confident, let's see what happens in the trial three days from now."After saying that, Renee turned around gracefully and left.In three days, everything would be over.She swore she would make Briar pay a heavy price for her ignorance and wickedness!When she stepped

    After leaving the hospital, Renee grabbed a cab back to Everheart Manor.In her hand was a USB flash drive that contained the hospital's surveillance footage she had downloaded.Renee transferred the data into her computer and quickly skimmed through the surveillance footage of the day of the incident.Sure enough, what should have been a video of more than ten hours had only less than an hour remaining, the rest deleted.All that remained was footage that disadvantaged Margaret. It seemingly reinforced Briar's claim that Margaret forced and and threatened Briar to get an abortion.‘How cunning of you, Briar Desrosiers!’Renee didn’t panic. She adjusted her rimless glasses and started typing a long string of codes, attempting to hack into the hospital's cloud storage system.Generally, public places such as hospitals, schools, and shopping malls would have cloud storage systems.These systems would back up video data such as surveillance footage.In other words, any video data

    Renee held her chin in both hands like she was a flower, then said cutely, “You get to receive the heartfelt gratitude and adoration from this beautiful flower!""Nope, I need you to show more sincerity than that!" Haze waved her away, obviously disinterested. He casually lay down onto the couch and said while leisurely shaking his leg, “The price for my service usually starts at 100 million dollars. You obviously want me to do it for free. No way, Jose."Renee was pissed off.The guy had such a punchable face right now.However, she needed his help, she could only put on her best fake smile and asked, “Okay, tell me, what do you want?"Haze suddenly became interested. He sat upright and said seriously, "You know, I'm going to be thirty in another year or two. My family is worried about my personal life, so...""I refuse!"Before he had even finished speaking, Renee had made a cross with her hands, her expression filled with unwillingness. “I'm off limit. I've already sealed awa

    After Haze left, Renee was left alone once more in the huge manor.Like she had done for many nights, she stood at the window, gazing out at the moon.The moon tonight was round and bright, hanging like a luminous pearl in the dark night sky.'The bright moon sends a message of love...'For some reason, Renee suddenly recalled the stranger she chatted with the other night.His profile picture was also a moon.The only message he sent her was also a picture of a moon.Renee subconsciously took out her phone, clicked on the picture of the moon, and zoomed in to take a closer look.Based on the angle, the picture should have been taken through the French window of a certain office.Perhaps the guy was a salaryman that had to work overtime until late at night, getting his value squeezed dry by his capitalist company?Renee smiled, casually took a picture of the moon, and sent it to him.It's weird. Although she had not chatted with the guy much, and most of the time it was just

    "I..."Renee was stunned. She did not know what to say.Based on her understanding of Briar, there was no way the wicked woman would withdraw the charges due to her conscience.Then, it was most probably Stefan's order. But the heartless man was supposed to use Margaret to threaten Renee. Why would he back out of the war first?Did he find out that Haze hacked into the hospital's cloud storage system last night?Thinking of that, Renee quickly gave Haze a call.Haze answered the phone lazily. He was obviously still sleeping."You miss me already, Bonnie?”"Cut the crap. Did anyone find out about you hacking into the cloud storage system last night?""What's the matter? Why do you sound so anxious?""Cut the crap and answer me!""No one found out." Haze said confidently, "I coded the encryption. No one would know as long as I don't tell anyone."Renee fell silent. She frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, got it.""What's the matter? You..."Haze still wanted

    Renee arrived at Hunt Enterprise, and as usual, she was not stopped by anyone and was warmly welcomed by all the employees.Rachel, Stefan's secretary, was the biggest stan of the Renee-Stefan ship. Her eyes filled with excitement, and she received Renee enthusiastically."Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Hunt is in a meeting right now. Do you want to wait for him in his office, or should I inform him you’re here?""I'll wait in his office!""Okay, I'll take you there." Rachel nodded repeatedly.Generally, one could not go to the CEO's office without permission.But this woman was the CEO's wife. The rules did not apply to her.Renee entered Stefan's office and sat down in his chair. She turned left and right in the chair, feeling very comfortable.Her eyes suddenly fell on a crystal ashtray on the desk. She thought it looked kind of familiar."Rachel, could this ashtray be... the one I gave him a while ago?"Rachel's eyes instantly brightened. She quickly replied, "Yes, Mrs. Hunt, you sure ha

    "Pfft!" Renee burst out laughing despite herself.If anyone else had said that, she would not have felt that there was anything wrong with those words, but coming from the giant iceberg, it felt like a big fat joke."Hahahaha! Mr. CEO, did a ghost possess you or something? How could those words come out of your mouth? Oh, that's a good joke!"Stefan's handsome face grew colder and colder.He pursed his thin lips, looked expressionlessly at the woman who had bent over with laughter, and said slowly, "Is it really that funny?""Damn right, it is." Renee tried to contain her laughter and looked at Stefan mockingly, "You really are trying everything in the book to get me to withdraw charges, aren't you? Unfortunately, even though we've been married for four years, you still don't understand what kind of person I am..."You think if you say something nice to me, I'll do anything you say, just like old times?"Renee shook her head and laughed at Stefan's arrogance."Before, you were

    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 plane 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 was devoid of emotion, and it 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

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

    "That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

    They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

    "This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
