Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also didn't forget to take a jab where they could.
"All of you, shut up! Don't talk about Ren that way! Have you forgotten that she saved Liam and me before? With our family's status, even if we cultivated another eight hundred years, we'd still not be able to match up with Ren!" Leia yelled angrily at her family, and her cheeks flushed red.
"Take her away!" Liam ordered Leia, his head hanging low and fists clenched.
His goddess and savior had been humiliated by his family! He was so ashamed that he couldn't even find the courage to look at Renee!
"Geronimo, you better beat me to death today, or don't blame me for becoming a rebel!" Liam coldly warned Geronimo.
Although the older man was his respected father, he had touched something precious of his! It wasn't something he could tolerate!
"You stupid beat! How dare you say such damning things to me just for the sake of a used woman! Fine! I'll fulfill your wish and beat you to death!"
Geronimo had also been driven to desperation by Liam's words, and he brought down the whip two more times, where it struck skin and flesh with impunity.
Hayden naturally cried for him to stop, and the entire scene became chaotic again.
"Enough!"
Renee, who had been silent the entire time, said indifferently, "Uncle Geronimo, your opinion was very objective, and I wholeheartedly agree. As a divorced woman, I should have kept my distance from your son. However, not only have I failed to do that in the past few years, but I've also gotten close to him and shamelessly enjoyed the benefits of his efforts. I was too selfish."
"Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness!"
Geronimo looked at Renee as if she were a joke, then put away his whip and said to Liam, "If she can really come up with that much money in three days, I'll transfer the shares of Osborne Group back to you and never interfere with your affairs again!"
"Goodbye!"
Renee saw that Liam was safe for now, so she turned and left without saying another word.
Liam had been beaten to an inch of his life, yet he still held strong and gritted his teeth as he tried to chase after Renee.
"Boss, wait for me..."
