Chapter 554
"Oh? Did the sun rise from the west today? The redhead whose shoes my son has been licking has finally decided to show up?"
Geronimo hissed venomously as he studied Renee from head to toe as though he was looking at a commodity.
Then, he sneered, "Are you really willing to pay any price to save this loser?"
Renee nodded, her eyes determined. "I've never gone against my words."
"Good. At least you still have some conscience."
There was a complicated look in Geronimo's eyes when he looked at Renee, and it was unclear if it was appreciation or
contempt. Then, he said in a vague tone, ’You have quite a devastatingly beautiful face, I must say, to be able to charm my son
to this extent..."
Liam, who was still kneeling on the ground, furrowed his brows when he heard that. "Boss, just ignore me and leave!" he
pleaded emotionally. "I'm my father's favored child! No matter how angry he is, he won't kill me. But if you fall into his hands, I
don't dare to imagine what kind of sick things he'd do to you with how rogue he is!"
Geronimo was known as a philanderer in their circle. In addition to his seven children, he had many illegitimate children outside
and countless affairs!
How could Liam not know about his father's cheating ways? It was natural for him to be concerned about Renee because of that!
Renee, however, was calm. She even smiled charmingly and said, "Sick things, huh? I've seen a lot of those, so what's one
more?’
She had heard about Geronimo's affairs, but she believed the older man wouldn't make such a pass at her.
"Shut up!"
Geronimo was furious at the conversation he heard between the two, especially his precious son, who he had spoiled from a
young age. Not only was he a lovesick idiot, but he was also stupid enough to think that
Geronimo would be so lustful that he would go after any woman before him?!
"My request is simple. Since that loser son of mine has licked your shoes for so long and almost emptied the family's coffers and
even racked up a sizable debt, you can't possibly expect you wont have to repay. Why don't you marry him and work for him for
the rest of your life to atone for your sins?"
This request came entirely out of expectation and it dumbfounded everyone.
Especially Laura. She glared at Renee and said disdainfully, "Dad, are you crazy? You want a divorced woman to marry Liam?!"
The Osborne family's eldest daughter, Yvonne, also shook her head and sighed. "Dad, you should think twice. Liam can fool
around with a divorced woman like her, but to really marry her into the family... It'd be a disaster!"
"Yeah! Even if she wasn't divorced, she's an Everheart and Schneider descendant! You know how difficult those families are!
We're no match for the Hunt family, certainly not something we can handle!"
Geronimo ignored the nasty reactions and continued to look at Renee.
"You should take a stand, hmm? You can't enjoy all the benefits and refuse to give anything in return, right?"
Geronimo was not the only one waiting for Renee's answer. Liam also held his breath and watched her closely.
"I..."
Renee, who was initially calm, was now in a panic. She knew very well that she had no feelings for Liam, and they had only
broken up recently.
Whether she agreed or refused, both would be awkward.
"If this can really help relieve your anger, Uncle Geronimo, then I'll happily agree to marry Liam. That one was originally one of
our plans for this year anyway."
Renee eventually agreed to Geronimo's request with the greater good in mind, but the man ended up ridiculing her after she
agreed.
"Hahah! You're delusional!"
Geronimo sneered from the high horse he was on. "What makes you think that the Osbornes would want a low-quality item that
someone else has swept out of their house? My loser son may be a lovesick idiot, but I'm not. Not to mention, you don't love my
son at all! Even if you two really loved each other, I would never allow you to become my daughter-in-law!
"The Hunts have oppressed us at every turn. If I were to take a woman that the Hunts rejected, my reputation would be in
shambles! Even if you don't have a brain and think with your toes, it's impossible for that to ever happen!
