The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 318

Hearing this, Francine raised her eyebrows, put down the glass in her hand and said slowly, “If that’s the case, then I’ll be honest. The reason I’m here is to bring my daughter-in-law back.”

Instantly, everyone became tense and their faces darkened.

"Renee grew up in Beach City," Francine said confidently. “The economy there is flourishing and everything is perfect. Sutton, on the other hand, is impoverished, inconvenient, and has terrible transportation. I can’t watch her stay here and suffer.”

The Baldwin family’s expressions were thunderous, and nobody said a word, but the atmosphere was dangerously tense.

Renee became even more scared, and she tugged on Francine’s arm and whispered, “Miss Milford, I advise you to stop talking. Why are you insulting this city?”

Francine was a really brave woman!

“I'm not insulting it, I'm just stating facts. If you look at the annual global wealth list, Beach City far outranks Sutton. The numbers are practically on opposite ends of the list. Am I wrong for merely stating the obvious?”

Francine grabbed Renee’s hand and stood up. “Anyway, enough about the past. I can tell that Stefan really likes you. Come back with me, and the two of you can have a fresh start!”

“Miss Milford, don’t do this.” Renee flatly refused her request, saying firmly, "Didn't Stefan tell you? At the airport, I told him clearly that I chose Justin over him. Otherwise, I would not have come to Sutton with Justin. Since my relationship with Stefan has already ended, we should be giving each other space. You can’t keep bothering me like this.”

It was just as the rumors said - the Baldwins were pretty much the Sutton royal family, and the power they wielded was far greater than Renee could have imagined.

Justin saw her concerned expression and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Miss Francine is too arrogant, so we’re just teaching her a lesson. Nothing bad will happen.”

“That’s right.” Austin smiled and said, “We know our boundaries. Please continue your meal and treat the scene earlier as entertainment, don’t let it ruin your mood.”

Renee finished her meal warily. She felt as if she had voluntarily walked into the lion's den.
