‘What nonsense are you talking about?” Sophia glared at him. Given the old man’s temper, he would mercilessly impose a harsh punishment on anyone who defied his orders. Was Justin asking for death?
Justin replied nonchalantly, ’I’m not lying, it was really me who let her go. Think about it – the password is so complicated that only the members of the Baldwin family would know it. Ren is just an innocent girl. Even if she wanted to, she’d never be able to figure out the password!’ Justin purposely looked at Renee with a faint smile.
’Haha!” Renee avoided their eyes and laughed awkwardly. She was very grateful to Justin for taking the blame, but he was so cheeky that she wanted to punch him!
Justin looked around at his family and explained, “I just think that since we’ve already snatched Stefan Hunt’s wife, it would be overkill to lock his mother up too. We know the power of the Hunt family, so we can’t just provoke them because we have an army. The Hunt family is very wealthy – if we drive them into a corner, they can easily hire assassins from Aiqan or Malazio to fight against us. Let’s not overdo it and leave some space between us so that things won’t be too difficult the next time we meet.”
‘Well said!” Renee could not help but stand up and clap; it was like Justin had read her mind.
The entire Baldwin family was living so pridefully, except for Justin who had been out and about in the world. He was much more sensible.
Austin frowned and glared at Justin sternly. “You’re simply lauding the other family’s prestige at the expense of your own. If it truly is as you say, we’d be acting like our family is afraid of the Hunt family!”
“The Baldwins and the Hunts are bound to go to war. I had never started anything back then because Ren was in the Hunt family, but now that she’s not, there’s nothing holding us back anymore.”
Renee wanted to hit her head on the table after hearing Austin’s words. The old man was certainly a war hawk. From what she remembered, the three brothers parted ways years ago because of it. They held on to different principles, and it cost them severely when they went their separate ways and stopped contacting each other.
Compared to Austin, her grandfather and Grandpa Hunt were a lot more objective. They would not fight unless it was absolutely necessary. That was why both of them left the military and entered the business industry instead!
Renee knew he wasn’t an evil person – he simply preferred to solve problems using force and thought that order was above all.
In other words, though Austin usually looked kind and friendly, he would be merciless if she got on his nerves! It was like serving a king who was as dangerous as a ticking time bomb.
Renee knew that she was walking on eggshells, so she could not provoke him or she would get into trouble. She also could not let Stefan meet this old man, or else everyone, even those who were not involved, would be affected.
Since both options were undesirable, Renee made up her mind and went for Plan C instead.
‘Let’s fight! We must fight!” Renee shouted passionately, raising her hand and changing her attitude suddenly.
