Chapter 164
Stefan instinctively wanted to hang up when he heard Briar’s voice. But when he learned that Renee was also there, he immediately turned the car around and headed back to Hunt manor.
Briar covered her swollen cheeks and said triumphantly, “Just wait. Stef will be here soon. You just hit me, and the evidence is all here. I shall see what will happen to you!”
Renee put down her mobile as well and said with a faint smile. “You should also wait. The police will be here soon. It’s so hot today perhaps the detention center will be cooler.”
The numbers she had just dialed were indeed 911.
Since there was no way she could beat this scoundrel, she would leave it to the law.
Stefan arrived at the scene in a very short time. His grey supercar looked smart as it rumbled under the dazzling sun.
The man performed a perfect doughnut with his car and pulled up in front of the door.
Briar could not wait to go to him when he got out of the car. Sticking out her belly and pointing to her red swollen cheeks, she cried pitifully.
“You are finally here, Stefan. If you didn’t come, my baby and I would’ve been tortured to death by Miss Everheart! I don’t know what made this crazy woman suddenly come here and ask Lydia to throw my things out on the road. She told me to leave, but I refused, so she hit me. I am terrified, but my baby is as well. I can feel it moving around in my belly. Though I can tolerate this, I cannot let my baby be bullied. You must do something!”
She cried so pitifully, and tears rolled down her little face like a fountain, making her look more miserable than Ophelia in
Hamlet.
Stefan frowned, troubled by her noisiness. Stealing a glance at Renee, he then looked at Briar and said coldly. “Things don’t just happen on their own. I don’t believe that she would treat you this way for no reason. Have you thought about why?”
His words stunned everyone.
This was indeed an unusual phenomenon. Stefan’s attitude toward Renee had never been good. He never stood up for her when they were still married. But now that they were divorced, he actually sided with her.
Why would Briar think about her mistake when she was obviously the “victim” with her cheeks swollen?
“I guess it is because Miss Everheart felt that I have taken her place as the mistress of the Hunt family that she hated me
and took it out on me.”
Briar cried and said, “I know you hate me and want to take revenge on me, Miss Everheart. But I beg you, can you let me go for the time being because I’m still pregnant? I promise you that I will do anything to atone for my sins once my child is born. This is the child of the Hunt family. I cannot let him suffer any harm!”
Stefan’s face changed slightly when he heard “the child of the Hunt family.”
He seemed to realize he was being too biased, so he looked at Renee and asked deeply. “Did you hit her as she said?”
“Yes, I did.”
Renee admitted openly.
“Why did you do that?”
“She’s the one who asked for it.” Renee smiled and said, “She is pregnant, after all. Her request required little effort, so I thought I could just fulfill her wish.”
Briar was so annoyed that she gritted her teeth. She hugged Stefan’s arms and tried to antagonize him. “Look at how arrogant

she is. Stef. She’s completely devoid of respect for you and the Hunt family. If this goes on, I am sure she will go crazy one day and do even crazier things. You should stop her!”
“Yeah, if you don’t return my things, I will definitely do crazier things. For instance, I might send you to prison and let you give
birth there.”
Renee’s eyes were determined. She did not seem to be joking.
Meanwhile, a siren could be heard, and a police car arrived at the villa.
Two police officers got out of the car and walked toward them.
“Who made the report?”
“Me.”
Renee raised her hand. She pointed at Briar and said to the police, “Sir, she broke into my house and stole my valuables. She’s also physically assaulted people. You should arrest her.”
