Upon hearing that, Renee’s face instantly changed. She questioned him. “So it’s you… what have you

done to Margaret?”

“You should ask your nanny what she did instead.”

Stefan’s expression was still extremely dark. He said coldly to the emotional Renee, “Your nanny tried

to force Briar to get an abortion. Are you gonna tell me you know nothing about it?”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Let’s each take a step back. I’ll let Margaret go, and you let

Briar go.”

Stefan felt he was being generous enough to Renee.

Briar’s child was his brother’s only descendant in the world. If it had been someone else doing what

Margaret had done. Stefan would have made sure that person disappeared without a trace!

“Impossible!”

Renee shook her head and said firmly. “I know Margaret very well. She wouldn’t do such a thing!”

“As for me… although I can’t wait to see Briar go to prison. I never thought of harming her child. Even if

a pregnant woman is found guilty, she won’t be put into prison immediately. She’ll only serve her

sentence after she gives birth and get past the breastfeeding period. The child won’t be harmed.”

Renee herself was a mother. There was no way she would be cruel enough to hurt the baby.

Her words made Stefan’s cold face relax slightly.

He knew Renee was not as vicious as she claimed. She was just trying to make him mad.

“I believe you and I believe your nanny, so let’s put an end to this matter.”

Stefan once again stated his terms. “You withdraw the charges, and your nanny will regain freedom.”

Renee’s expression was one of overwhelming disappointment. She could not help but sneer at the man

and said, “How

generous of you, Stefan. You make it sound like you’re such a big man for letting us off the hook!”

“Since you believe that my nanny and I are innocent, why don’t you just let her go? Why do I have to

withdraw the charges in

exchange?”

“Stop being so stubborn!”

Stefan felt that his patience was about to run out.

How did he not realize before how difficult this woman was to handle? She simply would not listen. He

did not know how to

deal with her!

“There’s nothing that I. Renee Everheart, hate more than being threatened, yet you’re actually

threatening me for a bitch like

that? Now you’ve made me really mad!”

Renee clenched her fists, glared at the man, and spat out some harsh words. “I’ll see you in court. Let’s

see what the judge

decides!”

Once again, the two parted ways unhappily.

After Renee had calmed down a bit, she called Zack Rosenwell.

After listening to Renee’s story. Zack said confidently. “Don’t worry, boss, I’ll take care of this. I promise

I’ll find a way to get Margaret out, but… I need to see her first to ask for the specifics.”

Therefore, half an hour later. Renee and Zack met at the detention center where Margaret was being

kept in.

The prison guard led them to Margaret’s cell and said impatiently, “You have ten minutes.”

Margaret was in her fifties, about to turn sixty. She was squatting helplessly in a corner, looking

particularly feeble.

“Margaret, how are you doing?”

Renee came to the metal door and cried out through the gap in the metal bars.

Margaret looked up with a jolt and ran over with a worried face. She grasped the metal bars and told

Renee. “What are you. doing here, Miss Ren? The environment and the ventilation here is bad. You

need to go back now!”

“Don’t worry about me, Margaret. We don’t have much time. You have to tell me and Zack everything

that happened in ten

minutes.”

“But…”

Margaret hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she decided to tell Renee the whole story.

“So you really did make abortion medicine for Briar Desrosiers?”

Renee could not believe that Margaret would do such a thing. She asked again just to confirm.

“I did. I hoped that you and Mr. Hunt could get back together, in which case, the child could not exist.”

Margaret closed her eyes and put on a brave face like she was prepared to die. “As long as you can

find happiness. I’m willing

to sacrifice this old life, let alone go to prison!”

“Margaret, oh Margaret, you’ve made a terrible mistake!”

Renee’s brows furrowed with anxiety, but she could not find it in herself to yell at Margaret.

Zack pushed his glasses up his nose and said with confidence. “The situation’s not that bad. There’s

still a chance we can

win. Leave it to me. It’s not a big problem.”

Zack’s words made Briar heave a sigh of relief.

If any other lawyer said that, they may be bragging or bluffing to earn legal fees, but if Zack said so, he

definitely had a way to

win!

“How soon can we get Margaret out? Can we apply for bail?”

Renee looked at Zack anxiously.

“Judging by the nature of the case, no. We must be patient…”

Zack asked Renee with raised eyebrows. “Do you want to extend Briar Desrosiers’s sentence by three

to five more years?”

“I’m not in the mood to mess with her. Right now, I just want to get Margaret out!”

“If you do as I say, not only will Margaret be safe and sound, Briar Desrosiers will also be finished!”

Zack snapped his fingers, as if everything was under control…
