The butler showed respect to Renee. He did not look down upon Renee for her misdemeanor to Bradley. And he just stated the fact.
It was not his first time dealing with this. There used to be some women who saw no hope in Bradley. They refused to move out of the villa of Bradley while hitting on toyboys.
Bradley was generous but not that generous to raise both women and their toyboys.
It crossed her mind now the butler once warned her, but Renee was absent-minded then.
So Bradley knew what was happening but didn't care.
"Okay, I see."
The butler looked at his wristwatch and said, "Miss Xia, you have only one hour to pack up your things."
"Thank you." Renee felt reluctant to leave, but there was no choice for her. Bradley stood by his word.
"You're welcome. It's my job." The butler left with a smile. It happened a lot in the past years, and he got used to it.
Renee went back to her room. Those women who
got news came to make fun of Renee.
"Hey, I heard that you had a toyboy outside?"
"Tut, tut, I thought you were the special one since Bradley took you everywhere. What a mistake!"
"Well, well, why don't you cherish this life? Can't those toyboys be better than Bradley?"
Like those concubines in the ancient palace, these women scraped through jealousy. They mocked whoever won the favor of a man.
If there was no Rocco who was her solid back now, Renee would have been depressed by what these women said.
These women were jealous, and Renee didn't feel liking giving them a damn.
Renee kept silent before the sarcasm. After packing up her things, she left. Looking back at the villa from a distance, Renee felt complex.
The old memories flooded back to Renee, approaching Bradley for getting Carmen out of the prison, then volunteering to stay, and being dispelled now.
Bradley broke up with her now and wouldn't help her in the future. Renee should have felt lost if without Rocco.
Renee had a few personal belongings and didn't dare to take the stuff of the Gill family. She went back to her apartment bought by Edgar.
Carmen, in recovery, looked spirited. She came up immediately at the sight of Renee.
"Renee, where have you been these days?" Carmen cherished this common life after the hardship.
"Mom, I had fun abroad. Don't worry. Look, I am fine." Renee turned around in front of Carmen.
Looking Renee up and down, Carmen asked the question in her mind, "Renee, I was sentenced to prison for a few years. Who on earth helped me out?"
"Mom, a friend did me a favor. Anyway, you are free." Renee would like to keep what she did for Carmen's freedom in secret.
