Renee stood very straight and tried to sound contemptuous and teasing, “Felix, don’t think that you have done me a great favor by adopting me. If it weren’t for my father helping your when the Pearson Group was in crisis, you wouldn’t be here today? And you can still stand here and argue with me?
“My father saved the Pearson Group and you have supported me for more than ten years, so I don’t owe you anything.
“Compared to what you did to me before, that slap just now is just a small interest.”
Everyone present could vaguely guess that the previous experiences of the three of them. were not pleasant, but everyone was there to watch the show, so they did not care who was right or wrong.
But when Felix heard Renee’s words, he was stunned. He let go of Iva and turned to stare at Renee.
“You said that when the Pearson Group was in crisis, it was your father who helped? Who told you this? It’s obviously Iva’s father who helped the Pearson Group!”
Renee originally did not want to waste time arguing with Felix, but she did not want the good things her father had done to be impersonated by others.
Renee glanced at Iva, with contempt and a hint of disgust as she explained, “So, this is how you lied to him all these years.
“When the Pearson Group was in danger, it was my father who asked someone to find a connection to help you. However, he did not ask for your repayment.
“He helped you because of the friendship between the Renee and Pearson families over the years. I never thought that my father’s kindness would become an excuse for others to deceive me.”
Felix’s head was buzzing and years of trust and faith collapsed in an instant at this
moment.
“Iva, tell me if what she said is true? Who helped the Pearson Group back then?” Felix’s eyes were sinister and his voice was angry.
It was the first time Iva saw Felix like this and she was so scared that she did not dare to speak.
But Felix pressed on, holding onto Iva’s wrist and refusing to let go, “Tell me the truth!”
Iva knew that she could no longer hide this matter. She saw that Renee’s father was already dead and Renee was so young that she definitely did not understand these things, so she impersonated him.
Years of lies collapsed in an instant.
“Felix, can we talk about it when we get back? There are too many people here, so please don’t make a fool of yourself, okay?” Iva looked at Felix in a pleading voice, hoping that he
would not pursue the matter for the time being because of their friendship over the years.

Seeing that Felix’s emotions had stabilized, Iva finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in her heart she wished she could skin Renee alive.
Renee had never held any hope for a scumbag like Felix, so when she saw that he chose to keep quiet, she just laughed coldly.
The banquet was still going on, but that day’s protagonist had not yet appeared.
Renee found a place to sit alone and she had almost finished the champagne in the goblet. After standing for a long time, Renee’s legs began to ache again and she gently pounded her knees.
Twenty minutes passed and Jeromy still had not arrived.
Renee was worried that something might have happened to him, so she called him.
She called several times in a row, but there was no response.
Renee frowned, could something really have happened?
When Renee thought that something might have happened to Jeromy, she felt panicky for.
no reason.
Although her knees were a little uncomfortable, she still stood up and prepared to go out to look for him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Renee stood up, Felix appeared out of nowhere.
“Renee, I noticed that your legs are not in good condition just now. You should sit down. I’m afraid something might happen to you if you walk.”
As Felix was speaking, he wanted to support Renee, but was pushed away by the woman. “Felix, you and I have no relationship anymore. Please don’t disturb my life, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
Renee pushed Felix away and prepared to leave, but the man went even further and grabbed her wrist.
“Renee, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I have figured out what happened back then. I…” Renee was fed up with Felix’s persistent behavior, so she pushed him away and said word hy word in a cold tone “Felix don’t pretend to he affectionate in front of me I am not the Chapter 21

“If you really feel guilty and sorry for me and my father, then you can cripple your legs and remove Iva’s uterus.
“You must all suffer the same way I have suffered, otherwise how dare you ask me to forgive you!”
