"Divorced?" The man was surprised at first, but soon remained calm. He snorted, "That's not a big deal. We can't judge the love a man holds for a woman through marriage. Many men ignore their wives and are madly in love with their lovers. I'm sure Renee is the woman Stefan loves the most."
"I'm telling you, he doesn't love her!" Leia insisted.
She sighed. Filled with indignation, she added, "He divorced my friend for his mistress. Based on your words, his mistress should be the one he loves best. If not, he wouldn't divorce my friend and watch her date another man. Do you think a man would behave like that if he loved her?"
"Is that so?" The man narrowed his eyes, trying to ascertain the authenticity of Leia's words.
If Stefan divorced Renee for his mistress, then from the perspective of a man, that meant he did have a change of heart. Renee was no longer the woman he loved the most.
Then again, based on the information the man had found, Stefan was madly in love with Renee. He risked his life for her repeatedly even when he didn't need to.
"If you don't believe me, you can make some calls and ask around. Many men want to win my friend over. The most earnest one is Justin, the only son of the Baldwin family. He's trying hard to win her over. Look, no man can give up their beloved to another man. Don't men always want to seize the women they love and make her their sole belonging?" Leia said.
She had analyzed things logically as she wanted the man to let Renee go. At the same time, she wanted justice for Renee.
But to Renee, Leia's words were harsh and heartbreaking.
"Are you out of your mind?" Leia stomped her feet and snarled, "If it weren't for Stefan, we'd never offended you! Do you have to kill us? Who are you?"
To her, this whole fort was a place of misfortune. Everyone they met, including children, was insane and wanted them dead.
Renee observed the man and then glanced at the dense crowd of guards.
"If I'm not mistaken…" she said carefully, "you're Macsen, Luneth's husband, aren't you?"
