Chapter 39

Charlotte never expected that Renee, who had always been a pushover, had the guts to fight back.

“You shameless witch!” She cursed furiously. “Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and realize how wicked and depraved you are? You’re just a gold digger whose family was financially ruined! Nothing. about you says you’re worthy of my cousin, and yet, you have the nerve to delay the divorce?”

“Do you think there’d be any use of you dragging this out?” Charlotte hissed. “Don’t you see how Bri’s belly is getting bigger and bigger every day now? Her marriage to Stefan will undoubtedly happen! You have no right to decide whether or not you’ll get a divorce!”

“I won’t discuss whether or not I have the right to decide that right now,” Renee calmly responded. “But in any case, what’s certain is that you have no say in it whatsoever.”

“And so what if her belly is getting bigger? As long as your cousin and I haven’t finalized our divorce, I am still his lawful wife and she is just his mistress, which means that the baby in her belly is not even Stefan’s legitimate child.”

Renee had evidently touched a sore spot, but Briar could not lose her temper and attack her, so she could only continue to play the innocent victim.

“Miss

Everheart,” Briar said sorrowfully, “you can attack and mock me however you like, but please don’t insult my baby!”

“I’m not insulting anyone’s baby,” argued Renee exasperatedly. “I’m merely stating the facts. If a baby born to a mistress isn’t illegitimate, then what is it? A prince?”
