C18 The Man You Can't Afford to Offend.

"Yes." Ronny pursed his lips, not wanting to talk about it.

"What's the reason?"

It was just an indifferent sentence, but the other two people in the meeting room suddenly raised their heads as if their lives were about to be taken away from them.

Renee felt as if someone had grabbed her by her hair.

She felt that this man was too difficult to mess with. He was too smart for his own good.

It had only taken him a few words to know that there was something else hidden in their conversation.

If she really wanted to live with him, then her old secrets would be revealed.

Ronny coughed lightly and looked elsewhere.

He should pray for his own good.

This century-old problem naturally fell on Renee's head. She touched her neck uneasily and rolled her eyes around. "I... I am that..."

Harlan saw the woman in front of him blush and look uneasy. The coldness in his body faded and his eyes became dark.

It was not easy for him to get close to the little wildcat, so he could not be scared away.

He asked, "Has everything been settled?"

"Ah?" Renee immediately realized what he was asking and quickly replied, "It's done."

"Darren is waiting for you at home."

Renee immediately stood up. "Then I'll be leaving first. Bye!"

She left the smoky place as if she was running away.

Ronny could not believe that Renee would leave him behind and run away. What happened to the friendship between them?

Wait... at home?

He looked at Harlan with an indescribable expression, "You two are living together?"

"That's about right." At the latest, he would have someone move her things over tonight.

"No wonder you didn't agree to that public relations plan." Ronny snorted and paused for a moment before giving a simple explanation for today's matter. "You are right. Other than the matter of my big brother, I don't want to say it out loud. There are other reasons..."

He paused midway and pursed his lips before continuing, "But I promised Renee that I wouldn't tell anyone about this matter. I can only say that her identity is far more complicated than you think. However, since you guys are living together, it doesn't mean that she will be willing to tell you in the future."

There was a hint of pride in his tone when he finished speaking.

All these years, no matter what happened, Harlan would always be able to grasp the entire situation. There was nothing he didn't know.

But now, he could finally suppress him. Furthermore, it was the woman he wanted to marry.

How could he not be happy?

...

After coming out of the company, Renee ran back to her home as if she had just found her life.

It didn't feel so dangerous anymore!

She took a bottle of cold water from the fridge and lay on the sofa, feeling hopeless.

She was really seeking death.

When she heard his surname was Ronny last night, she should have reacted. How many families in Shepshed City had the surname Ronny?

To think that she would ask him if his power was above the Troup Group's. The Carrell Group could easily crush the Troup family as if they were ants.

Renee hugged the glass of water and felt a little tired.

She did want to take revenge, but she didn't expect to provoke such a big shot.

She really couldn't deal with him.

After an unknown period of time, the phone under her butt began to vibrate.

Renee took it out and saw that it was an unknown number. She thought it was Anthony's new online account. She unhappily answered, "Didn't you say you don't want to contact him? Has the bounty been withdrawn?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be frightened by her tone. He paused for a moment before saying softly, "Auntie, did I disturb you?"

Renee sat up straight and changed the topic. She was so gentle that it was unbelievable. "It's Darren. I'm sorry. Auntie thought it was an annoying uncle. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I must have scared you."

"No, Darren is very brave. Auntie, have you eaten?"

Renee looked at the time on the wall and realized that it was already half past five in the afternoon.

She had been scared out of her wits and ran back home. She had completely forgotten to visit Darren. She felt a little embarrassed. She poked the sofa with her finger and said, "Not yet. What does Darren like to eat? Auntie will prepare it for you, okay?"

Darren would eat whatever she asked him to eat.

"Then wait for me at home. I'll be there soon."

Renee put away the phone and quickly took a shower. After changing her clothes, she went straight to the market and bought some groceries. Then, she rushed back to the mansion in Easthallow.

When she arrived, Darren was sitting obediently in the garden waiting for her.

Seeing his little face, Renee felt even more sorry for him. She went up to him and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry, baby. Auntie is late. I made you wait for too long."

Darren kissed her on the cheek and said sweetly, "As long as auntie can come, I will wait for you no matter how long it takes."

Wuwuwu, this little guy is so cute.

Ever since she met Darren, Renee felt that something in her heart was becoming softer and softer.

For the first time, she felt that a child was not as repulsive as she had imagined. Instead, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Renee hugged the little bun in her arms and suddenly didn't want to let go.

After hesitating for a long time, she saw that it was getting late. She reluctantly let go. "Little baby, Auntie will cook for you now!"

Perhaps it was because Harlan had told her before, but Renee only asked where the kitchen was and a maid immediately brought her there. She was extremely respectful and even asked if she needed help.

Renee shook her head and refused.

For so many years, no matter what she did, she was used to doing it herself.

Renee had just placed the rice in the pot when she felt her clothes being pulled lightly.

Darren raised his head and looked at her with his big eyes. "Auntie, can I do it with you?"

Renee thought for a moment and took a few pieces of garlic for him. She patted his head and said, "Then help me peel this, but be careful not to get it into my eyes."

"Okay!" Darren ran to the storage room to get Lyda's little deer chair. He was panting and his face was red.

The maid saw this and quickly went up to him. "Young Master, let me help you get it."

"No need, I can do it myself." Darren placed the chair that was just enough for him to sit on in front of the kitchen door and took a trash can.

After everything was ready, he started to peel the garlic.

The maid finally realized that he had gone to get this chair because he thought it was too childish. He wanted to stay in the kitchen door and be closer to the woman cooking inside.

Renee turned around and saw Darren sitting outside the kitchen. He was focused on his work and couldn't help but smile. His eyes were filled with warmth.

Not long after, Darren finished peeling the garlic and brought it to her. He said sweetly, "Auntie, here."

Renee bent down and kissed him on the cheek. "Darren is so awesome."

The little bun's face couldn't help but turn red.

He was extremely cute.

Renee took him to wash his hands and pointed at his nose. "Because of Darren's help, we will soon be able to eat delicious food. Sit and wait for a while, okay?"

"Alright!" Darren nodded and sat down on the chair.

Darren looked at the girl with his beautiful black eyes. He was thinking that his father would be back soon.
