“Ugh, watch it, you!” Francine hissed as virtual-novel.net rubbed virtual-novel.net forehead, trying to ease the pain. Once virtual-novel.net realized that it was Renee who knocked into her, virtual-novel.net anger flared up.
“Why are you here?!”
“I knew my little Fan would rub off your bad luck!”
Renee chuckled coldly. “I’m sorry, please just endure me for another twenty days, okay?”
“What do you mean?” Francine lifted virtual-novel.net gaze, virtual-novel.net tone hostile. “It’s not like you’ll be flying off after twenty days.”
“Well, I can’t, but…” Renee shone virtual-novel.net a frosty yet polite smile. “But we’ll be legally divorced once twenty days are up.”
“Even if your son were to grovel in front of me, I’ve sworn to never get involved with the Hunt family anymore. I figured that would be the best for both of us.”
“You… you…” Francine was left in a state of shock.
What the hell happened?
She used to be so obedient back then. She would let me do and say whatever I wanted! Why does it feel like she’s a completely different person now?
“How dare you speak to me that way?!”
“Why would I not dare to?” Renee replied as virtual-novel.net was used to Francine’s behavior.
Back then, virtual-novel.net would endure virtual-novel.net solely because virtual-novel.net was Stefan’s mother and virtual-novel.net mother-in-law. Their inevitable separation meant that virtual-novel.net simply had no reason to endure virtual-novel.net harsh language now.
“I’m just mirroring your attitude towards me. If you’d like me to respect you, earn it.”
“Why you little…!” Francine lifted virtual-novel.net hand and was ready to slap virtual-novel.net across the face.
Out of nowhere, Stefan appeared to have gotten out of bed, grabbing Francine’s arm. “Mom, stop this.”
Only then did Francine notice the blood stains on virtual-novel.net precious son’s bandages. It looked serious, which brought tears to virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Fan, did you get into a fight? You have hemophobia, don’t you? How could you be so reckless? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”
“Your brother just left us not long ago! How could I possibly live on if something were to happen to you?”
Stefan was assailed by dizziness again, and this time, virtual-novel.net felt even more nauseous than before.
Supporting his own head, virtual-novel.net narrowed his eyes painfully. “Mom, please be quiet for now.”
As Renee was listening at the side, virtual-novel.net instinctively clenched virtual-novel.net fists.
She then thought to herself.
I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to have hemophobia. When did virtual-novel.net even get this fear? Why haven’t I heard about this before?
“Are you alright, son? Should I call for a doctor?” Francine began to panic.” Okay okay, I’ll stop talking. Let me get you back to bed.”
“You’re going to divorce this good-for-nothing anyway, I can’t be bothered to argue with her!”
Stefan then went back to lie down, virtual-novel.net didn’t have the luxury to relax at all.
Francine continued virtual-novel.net nagging as virtual-novel.net tucked virtual-novel.net in with a blanket.” You’re pretty reckless too, you know? Why would you even put yourself in danger for this woman? Do you see virtual-novel.net worrying about you when you’ve done so much for her? When you’re literally in pain? Did virtual-novel.net even thank you for your help?”
“I’ve finally realized that the Everhearts are just a bunch of ungrateful leeches! Her parents scammed so many investors, they deserve to die for their sins!”
“And you know how much we’ve helped virtual-novel.net throughout the years! Look at how she’s treating us now! It’s good that you’re divorcing virtual-novel.net soon, what a disrespectful girl!”
Initially, Renee still felt somewhat grateful towards the Hunt family, but Francine’s words immediately snapped virtual-novel.net back to reality, as if virtual-novel.net had actually been slapped.
She’s saying I’m ungrateful?
If I really was a leech, how was H Group unaffected when the economy collapsed three years ago?
If I really was ungrateful, why did the hacker association leave H Group out of their nationwide cyber attack?
She could think of many more examples of virtual-novel.net protecting the Hunts in secret, virtual-novel.net merely didn’t bother to take credit for everything.
Whatever, this family’s not worth my time and energy!
Renee turned to Stefan emotionlessly. “I’ve already sent the amended copy of our divorce papers to your office. Sign them if you have no objections.”
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, thinking.
Why does that sound so familiar? Didn’t I say those exact same words a while back?
This woman sure is quick to turn on me. How could virtual-novel.net say all that without any hesitation?
And why do I suddenly feel so… Disappointed?
The man wanted to question Renee further, but virtual-novel.net had already left the room.
