Renee's facial expression was cold and emotionless. "I don't care if he's dead or alive. Did he care if I was happy or not during the most difficult period of my life? Did he ever care if I was alive?"
"Well…" Xavier felt a little guilty. He silently looked down.
Stefan had indeed gone too far back then. He cheated on Renee and forced her to get a divorce. His heart was practically stone-cold. Why did he have to get so close with a bitch like Briar?
Even if Renee loved him from the bottom of her heart, her feelings would eventually fade.
If he asked her to give Stefan another chance now, it would only be adding salt to the wound!
"I'll tell you again, and please take this seriously—my relationship with Stefan has ended, and we will never get back together. Please tell your friends, Stefan included, to stop joking around like that anymore. If this happens again, I'll cut ties with all of you," Renee said sternly to make sure Xavier got her point.
Xavier nodded. "Alright. I know what's on your mind now. I'll tell my friends to take note…"
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard loud chatter from Stefan and the others.
"No way. Seraphina's access to information is way too efficient. Did she already get upset about this?"
"Knowing her temper, she'd definitely be furious that we held a secret gathering without inviting her. Why don't we leave…"
"What are you afraid of? Christopher and Stefan are here. She wouldn't dare cause a scene!"
Xavier appeared a little terrified. He looked left and right. "Oh no. If Seraphina shows up, this barbecue is over!"
Renee felt confused. Without realizing it, her curiosity took over. She looked at Xavier. "Who's Seraphina? Why would you guys be afraid of her?"
"Huh?" Renee glanced at Xavier speechlessly.
She couldn't believe he'd make her the scapegoat. She was only a bystander. Why was this even her fault?
"So, you're Renee… The woman who won't leave our Stefan alone." Seraphina looked Renee up and down. There was a look of arrogance in her eyes. In fact, her facial expression made it clear that she wasn't the kind of person one would want to mess with.
It was only because she had the Murphy family to back her up.
Although the Murphy family wasn't one of the top eight families in Beach City, they were still a force to be reckoned with. In fact, the Murphy family was just as wealthy as the Hunt family and the Jacobs family.
Of course, Renee carried a similar vibe.
