Chapter 204
Sandra’s expression changed slightly, but it was quickly replaced by cold indifference.
“The birthday wish of a person who has nothing to do with me naturally has nothing to do with me too. Don’t think you can get. me to work for you by using these petty tricks.”
“No, no, no.”
Renee said with a meaningful smile, “I just have a better understanding of how a mother thinks, that’s all…”
“It’s fine if you’re not curious about Jane right now. Feel free to ask me anytime you’re curious.”
Renee raised an eyebrow and said, “Jane and I are practically besties. We get along really well!”
“Besties?”
Envy flashed across Sandra’s eyes for a split second.
But it was soon gone, like she had woken up from a dream. She said disdainfully. “How childish!”
Renee was not angry. On the contrary, she could understand Sandra’s feelings.
Because she had used some special means to find out private information about Sandra that no one knew.
Six years ago, Sandra Lee was just a small time lawyer. No one was willing to entrust her with a case. She was often too poor to even pay for food.
But at such a difficult time, she suddenly got pregnant. No one knew who the father was.
Sandra quietly gave birth to the baby and took on the role of both the father and the mother. She did her best to raise her daughter until the age of one, but in the end, she steeled her heart and gave the child to a family of intellectuals to raise. After that, she vanished…
When she reappeared years later, she was already a famous lawyer. She worked in the Hunts and Co. Law Firm and her main job was to handle commercial lawsuits for the H Group, and she was incredibly good at it!
There were rumors that Stefan and her had an unusual relationship. Some even said Stefan established the Hunts and Co. Law Firm just for Sandra.
If that was true, it could be said that Sandra rose to prominence thanks to Stefan’s backing.
If Sandra wanted to further her relationship with Stefan, she naturally could not expose the fact that she had a child, so she ruthlessly pretended that the child had never existed…
Of course, all of this was just Renee’s speculation.
She hoped the outstanding Sandra Lee was not someone who would be blinded by love like that.
Even if she was, she should switch target because Stefan Hunt was not worth it!
The next day.
BC University’s specialist residential area.
The sophora trees here bloomed more densely every year. Whenever a breeze blew past, the white sophora flowers would fall like snow, filling the air with a fresh aroma.
This area was made popular by Tik Tok and had become a hotspot for taking pictures. Lots of people would come here to take pictures every day, many of them not even from the University.
Today, Renee wore a yellow dress and tied her shoulder–length hair back with a black–and–white checkered hairband. When

she walked across the Sophora Road, her dress and her hair fluttered, adding to the beautiful scenery.
Many college students there marveled at her beauty and secretly took photos of her…
Renee walked up to a house and gently knocked on the door.
The door soon opened. The owner warmly welcomed her into the house.
“You came so early today, Renee. Anthony is out doing grocery because you’re coming! He’s not back yet!”
The person who spoke was a middle–aged woman who looked very kind and elegant.
She was Sophia Zimmer, the wife of Renee’s former doctoral supervisor, Anthony Wood.
Renee said, “Aww, he shouldn’t have. I come here for free meals all the time, so you guys should just feed me leftovers. There’s
no need to buy extra food just because I’m coming.”
“No way. Anthony talks about you a lot, saying that of all the students he’s taught, you’re the one with the most talent in
physics. Of course he has to give you special treatment.”
“Besides, Jane is growing, so she needs to eat more anyway.”
Sophia’s face lit up at the mention of Jane. She continued to ramble on. “Jane is really fond of you. When she heard that you’re coming, she got up early today and said she wanted to go do grocery with Anthony so that she could buy your favorite food for
you!”
“Mm–hmm, I like Jane too. That kid is clever!”
That’s right. It’s a small world.
The intellectual couple that adopted Jane from Sandra Lee years ago was none other than Renee’s college mentor Anthony. Wood and his wife Sophia Zimmer.
After the divorce, Renee gradually resumed contact with her mentor and ended up growing close to Jane too. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were besties.
“Oh, Anthony also said we’ll have another special guest today, so he asked me to make more food.”
Sophia added.
“A special guest?”
Renee could not help being curious. “Who could it be?”
As she said that, Anthony Wood led a bouncing Jane and the special guest into the house…
