Rather than taking a seat, Mavis placed a stack of money on the tea table.

“Mrs. Fowler, I’m here to return the money.

Mr. Fowler paid three hundred thousand in medical fees for me, and there’s still sixty hundred unspent. I feel like I should return them,” she explained, talking quickly.

Rena took a sip of her scented tea, listening attentively.

After Mavis finished her explanation, Rena gently placed her teacup down.

She smiled and said, “Miss Lynch, you made a mistake in your calculations.”

Mavis was taken aback.

Rena picked up the stack of money and counted before saying, “Actually, you should be repaying me three hundred thousand. You just said my husband paid three hundred thousand for you!”

Mavis didn’t expect Rena to be so meticulous.

Her pride was hurt, and her lips trembled. “Mrs. Fowler, that’s the amount Mr. Fowler paid for me. You have no right to ask for repayment.”

A sneer immediately formed on Rena’s face.

“Is that so? But that money is our shared property!

Ihave every right to get it back.

Besides, how would I even know about the money if you hadn’t shown up?

Now, let me ask you, did you have sex with Waylen?”

With trembling lips, Mavis couldn’t lie.

Rena gently tossed the notes in her hand and said, “If you two had sex, I wouldn’t demand you to repay the money. It would be your payment for services rendered. But since that didn’t happen, I’m sorry, Miss Lynch, but please repay the three hundred thousand within a month!”

Mavis felt completely humiliated.

Her friend, who had been trying to intervene, whispered to her, “I warned you! Now, apologize to Mrs. Fowler. She won’t make things difficult for you.”

With her back held straight, Mavis turned a deaf ear to her friend, refusing to apologize.

“Mrs. Fowler, I love Mr. Fowler!

I believe he has feelings for me too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the hospital with me for days! I know you’re not happy about this, but I want to tell you that even if you try to stop us, it’s futile!

Mrs. Fowler, I don’t need a title or anything. I just want to be with Mr. Fowler.

Surely you can live with that, can’t you?”

Mavis’s bold words sent a shiver down Wendy’s spine.

This girl was reckless, and Wendy could feel the tension in the room.

Rena’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Mavis.

At that moment, her repugnance for Mavis had nothing to do with Waylen anymore.

When she raised her head again, she smiled and replied, “Of course, I can manage it. From now on, I won’t just stop disliking you, but I’ll treat you well!”

Mavis looked puzzled.

With a gentle gesture, Rena raised her hand.

Wendy immediately responded, “What can I do for you, Mrs. Fowler?”

Rena muttered softly, “Select a few top-notch bodyguards to protect Miss Lynch around the clock, Ensure her safety until she can repay all the money she owes me.

Andas for her friend Rita, she seems quite capable…”

Rena stood up and added, “Send the recording of our discussion to their school leaders. Let them know what kind of person she is associating with. I doubt the school would appreciate having such a person without moral integrity among their students.” ©

Wendy nodded and replied, “Yes, Mrs. Fowler!”

Mavis’s eyes grew wide.

‘She never expected Rena to be so ruthless. Wasn’t she afraid of angering Waylen?

Lost in her thoughts, Mavis didn’t notice Rena leaving.

She dragged her injured leg and hurriedly chased after her. “Mrs. Fowler, you have no right to do this to us! You can’t understand my feelings for Mr. Fowler. Do you truly love him? No, you only love the Exceed Group and the power he gives you!” ©

Rena came to a halt, her expression cold as she warned, “Mavis, I’ve held back so far, but don’t push me beyond my limits!” ©

Her voice trailed off as Rena disappeared through the doorway.

Standing there in a daze, Mavis realized that her attempt to provoke Rena and strain their relationship had backfired.

She had underestimated Rena’s authority and power.

Rena didn’t follow her thought at all.

Clutching her fingers tightly, Mavis couldn’t believe that Rena would actually take action against her.

In that moment, Wendy stepped forward, gesturing to the two tall and robust bodyguards beside her.

She then said politely, “Miss Lynch, from today on, these two bodyguards will accompany you at all times, ensuring your safety whether you eat, sleep, or use the bathroom. They will closely escort you. Please cooperate and don’t disappoint Mrs. Fowler.”

Mavis was furious.

She waved her hand, as if wanting to overturn a nearby vase.

“This vase is an authentic antique worth two million and sixteen thousand dollars,” Wendy gently reminded her.

Tears welled up in Mavis’ eyes. Still holding on to her last shred of pride, she retorted, “I don’t need your protection! She just wants to monitor and control me!”

Wendy gave Mavis a faint smile, secretly despising the girl’s arrogance.

Despite her good looks, Mavis seemed overly confident in competing with Mrs. Fowler. The Exceed Group might have been a gift from Waylen to Rena, but Rena had the capability to manage it and turn it into a successful venture.

Under her leadership, the company had experienced remarkable growth.

All the shareholders were pleased with her performance.
