C12 I Don't Know Which Wild Man She Climbed into the Bed With.

Sina's smile deepened as she said softly, "Renee, they were just joking. Don't take it to heart. Since you have already married Maximo, then you should live a good life with him. I will bless you."

Just as she finished speaking, Mylene and Carlton walked over.

Carlton looked at her with a reproachful expression, but his tone was still kind. "Sina, why are you wasting your time with her? Your Uncle Shen is looking for you."

As she spoke, she looked at Renee with extreme dissatisfaction. "What are you doing here? Is this place somewhere a person like you can come? Get lost!"

Renee laughed, "Chairman Haver, what kind of person am I?"

"Everyone here today is a famous person. Your illegitimate daughter's identity will only bring shame to our Haver family. Don't always think that your status will be different after marrying Maximo. The Troup family won't acknowledge you. Even if I don't chase you away, they won't let you stay!"

"Chairman Haver, everyone can say that I am a illegitimate daughter, but you are the only one who is not qualified." Renee's expression gradually turned cold as she casually turned the wine glass in her hand. "If I hear these three words from your mouth again, I will tell everyone that you were the one who cheated on Mylene after you got married, and you joined hands to force my mother to die!"

"Pah!"

Carlton didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, he slapped Renae heavily. His voice was filled with anger. "You bastard, you speak nonsense!"

Renee licked the blood from the corner of her mouth. "They found out about our secret and became angry? Maybe I should say that not all illegitimate daughters are born younger than their legal wife? Chairman Haver was very romantic when he was young. The outside world was filled with colorful banners, and our family was still standing strong."

"You..."

Seeing that Carlton was about to raise his hand again, Sina hurriedly stopped her and said with a pained expression, "Renee, although I don't know where you heard these rumors, but for so many years, my mother and I have always treated you sincerely and never treated you as an outsider. Why do you have to slander us like this?"

Mylene also scolded, "Renee, we have treated you well all these years. Even if you think that your status is low and want to climb up, you can't step on our heads. Maximo and Sina are in love with each other. You tried to climb up his bed, and even Sina didn't blame you. Now, how can you say that?"

Renee was too lazy to argue with them.

Did they really think that she didn't remember anything when she was young?

When her mother died, she grabbed her hand and asked her to live on.

So, when she was young, she could only endure and let them label her as an illegitimate daughter.

But these people were getting more and more insatiable.

Carlton was furious. "What are you talking about with this bastard? I think she's crazy. Look at what she is. She only knows how to smear the Haver family's reputation!"

"Dad, stop talking about Renee. She is now a member of the Troup family. If Uncle Shen and the others hear about this..."

"So what if they hear about it? She climbed into the bed of a random man. Other people don't want her, but she turned around and insisted that it was Maximo. If it wasn't for the Troup family's reputation and her shamelessness, she wouldn't have been blamed for this!"

Sina advised, "Dad, don't say that. I don't think Renee would want to do that. She has her own difficulties..."

Carlton patted her hand and seemed to calm down a little. "Sina, stop praising her. I know what kind of person she is! She's as shameless as her mother!"

With that, he left.

Mylene and Sina looked at her with different expressions and hurriedly followed him.

After the three of them left, the discussion became even louder.

Although they didn't hear the conversation clearly, they could see that Carlton had given Renee a slap.

While they were gloating, their words became even more unbearable.

Renee seemed to not hear them. There was no emotion on her face. She raised her head and finished the wine in her cup before striding forward.

She was far away from the noise.

Not long ago, she was prepared to give up, but Sina was determined to make the white lotus flower shine.

If she didn't do something that would ruin her reputation, she would lose her face.

Renee stood still behind the man who had spoken to Sina. The corner of his lips curled up. "Sir, hello. I... I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

The moment the man turned around, the lines that she had prepared to say were instantly thrown into the air.

She changed the topic and was about to slip away.

Harlan grabbed her wrist, his expression still as cold as ever. "I won't disturb you."

Renee's eyelids twitched. No wonder she felt that this figure was familiar. She didn't expect that the man that Sina liked was actually him!

This was a fateful encounter.

"Hah... I didn't expect to meet him here. What..." Renee suddenly remembered that they had met a few times. She didn't even know his name. The last time he had said that he was a wife, it was definitely more flamboyant than Mrs. Shen.

Seeing her confusion, the man reminded her lightly, "Harlan."

"Oh, right. Mr. Carrell. Maybe I should call you brother-in-law in the future. What a strange fate. I suddenly remembered that there was a stew in the house. Goodbye."

Renee was already expressing her desire to leave, and she emphasized the word "brother-in-law". She hoped that he would be magnanimous enough to end this fateful encounter.

However, the man had no intention of letting her go. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her words. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Brother-in-law?"

Renee felt a little guilty being stared at by him. "Is it not?"

"No."

His gaze was too invasive, and the invisible pressure made Renee swallow her saliva. She asked in a small voice, "Didn't Sina invite you?"

Harlan leaned forward and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Do you think so?"

Perhaps it was because of the banquet, but she had dressed simply. She was dressed in a simple white dress, but her figure was exquisite. Her fair and clean face was flushed from the alcohol, and her dark eyes were looking around as if she was trying to find an excuse to deal with him. Her bright red lips were tender and moist.

Harlan's throat was dry, and his palm was burning.

It had been four years since he last felt this way.

The man's dark eyes quickly moved away.

Renee didn't notice the slight change in his gaze, but she somehow felt that he was here for her.

This time, he might have gone overboard.

She tried her best to look serious. "Mr. Carrell, I already told you very clearly that I won't divorce you, and I won't marry you. Actually, you might have misunderstood me. In terms of shamelessness, Sina is better than me. You can consider her. I believe she will be willing."
