Chapter: 1001
Rena started playing the piano once again. After finishing one song, she said, “I’m just trying to protect the people who are important to me, Waylen.”
Waylen stared at Rena for a long time.
Then, he began loosening his tie and ascending the stairs.
Waylen and Rena had dinner and put Alexis and Marcus to bed without talking to each other. They lived in the same house, but they treated each other like strangers.
Rena didn’t care anymore.
It was late at night.
Waylen and Rena began retiring to their own respective bedrooms.
In the corridor, Waylen grabbed Rena’s hand and said, “We need to talk.”
After Waylen said that, Rena’s phone rang, and she answered.
It was a call from one of her bodyguards that she sent to watch Mavis. The bodyguard reported hesitantly, “Sorry to bother you this late, ma’am, but the woman we were watching just jumped out of a third-story window. She shattered her legs.”
Jumped out a window.
Rena replied calmly, “Take her to the hospital. And keep your eyes on her.”
Waylen knocked the phone out of Rena’s hand and threw a fit of pique.
“She has already been expelled from school. What more do you want?
Rena… Have you always been this cold-blooded? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust your own decisions?
Is this how our marriage is going to be now?”
He confronted her with so many questions.
Rena was in a trance. Then, a smile tugged on the corners of her mouth.
“Yes. | suppose | have always been cold-blooded when circumstances necessitate it.
| can’t allow that woman to stay in Duefron.
| don’t care where she ends up as long as she’s nowhere near my family.”
Waylen looked at Rena with eyes burning with fury.
