Despite the servant's efforts to stop her, Renee strode in boldly and said sarcastically, “I was once a part of the Hunt family. I treated Grandpa Hunt like my own grandfather, so there’s no need to stop me from visiting him, right?”
Meanwhile, Timothy, who was sitting at the head of the table, was scowling fiercely at Stefan. He was just about to teach him a lesson after learning about the rumours about Stefan, Renee and Jovan.
However, his eyes sparkled when he heard Renee's voice, and he turned to her with a wide smile. "Ren, my wonderful granddaughter-in-law, I was just about to teach Stefan a lesson. I'm delighted you're here! Come, child, sit by me."
He motioned to the unoccupied seat next to him and urged her to have a seat. Meanwhile, Stefan sat on the opposite side, his expression frigid.
The servant added a new set of tableware to the table. Renee was unable to say no to the old man, and was forced to sit at the table with the Hunts.
The jovial atmosphere immediately dimmed.
The others hadn't said anything since they feared offending Timothy or Stefan, so they just lowered their heads quietly and ate.
Francine, on the other hand, was as fearless and courageous as a lion. She had been looking forward to Renee's homecoming, and now that Renee was here, she was overjoyed. She began piling food on Renee's plate happily.
“My good daughter-in-law, you finally thought it through and came back to us. See, I told you that Stefan was alive. His acting skills were so good that he had both of us fooled! I beat him up earlier, but if you’re unhappy with him, feel free to beat him up too.”
The other members of the Hunt family agreed with Timothy. “Yes. A man should be more gentlemanly if he wants to win a girl over! Stefan, you should change your attitude.”
Stefan's expression was frosty, and he smacked his spoon against the table, growling, "That's enough. What are you all attempting to accomplish? And what brings you here?”
His gaze was hard as he questioned Renee, and he stared at her like she was his mortal enemy.
Seeing this, Renee pounded her fist on the table and snarled, "What's the point in pretending? You know exactly why I'm here!"
