Chapter 188

Margaret turned around and found Stefan standing at the door of the ward, staring at her coldly.

“Mr. Hunt. I…”

She intended to explain herself, but the abortion medicine in her hand was still steaming hot. She could

not immediately think of a good explanation..

Briar hid behind Stefan, acting like a weak, helpless woman. She cried and said, “Margaret, I told you, I

know I’ve done something wrong, so I promise I’ll leave Stefan, but the baby is innocent…”

“The baby is my life! I won’t let anyone hurt it! Please go back and tell Miss Everheart that if she has

any grudge against me. she can take it out on me, but don’t hurt my baby!”

Briar’s words made Margaret flush with anger. She said emotionally, “What’s the meaning of this, Miss

Desrosiers? That’s not what you said just now. Aborting the baby was your idea too. Why are you

pretending to be the victim now? You’re blatantly lying!”

“The one who’s blatantly lying is you! I love my baby so much, how could I bear to abort it? You were

threatening me, saying that if I don’t abort the baby like you said, Miss Everheart will make me go to

jail. I refused to take the medicine, so you tried to force it down my throat! The police officers outside

and Stefan saw it!”

“You… you…”

Margaret had never seen a better actor than Briar. She was so angry that she felt like she was getting a

heart attack.

She now knew that Renee was not exaggerating at all. Briar Desrosiers really was evil down to the

core!

She quickly told Stefan, “Mr. Hunt, please don’t listen to Miss Desrosiers’s nonsense. That was not

what happened at all. I did not say those things, I…”

“Shut up!”

Stefan’s perfect face was icy. He glared at Margaret with extremely oppressive eyes and asked, “Was it

Renee’s idea?”

“No, I came here on my own. Miss Ren knows nothing. She doesn’t even know that I came here. Mr.

Hunt, please don’t misunderstand Miss Ren, she…”

“So it was your idea?”

Stefan’s eyes became even colder, carrying a dangerous intent. He asked sharply. “In other words, it’s

true that you tried to get rid of a Hunt child? That part’s not a lie?”

“That’s…”

Margaret gulped. She did not know how to deny that.

The purpose of her visit to today was to persuade Briar to get an abortion. Briar was not lying about

Margaret’s motive.

“I did ask Miss Desrosiers to get an abortion, but…”

“I’ve heard enough.”

Stefan turned to the police officers next to him and said, “You heard that. She made a deliberate

attempt to harm a child of the Hunt family. She has the motive, and we have eyewitnesses and

evidence. I don’t have to tell you what to do, do I?”

The two police officers were very respectful towards Stefan. They immediately handcuffed Margaret

and told her with a serious. expression, “You voluntarily tried to hurt someone. This is a criminal

offense. You’re now under arrest. Please follow us back to the police station.”

“Criminal offense?”

Margaret looked down at the cold handcuffs, confused.

She did not expect things to turn out this way. She had only wanted to persuade Briar to give up. How

did it come to this?

“No, no, Mr. Hunt, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t try to hurt anyone. I only tried to persuade Miss

Desrosiers to get an abortion so that she can seek her own happiness again!”

“I can see that you and Miss Ren still have feelings for each other. You only got a divorce because of a

homewrecker’s intervention. Your marriage can still be saved. I…”

“Take her away!”

Stefan said with a frown. He had no interest in hearing what Margaret had to say.

Margaret’s passionate plea gradually turned into disappointment. She laughed bitterly and said. “Now I

know why Miss Ren is so adamant to divorce you even though she’s under great pressure. Someone

like you doesn’t deserve her love!”

After Margaret was taken away, Briar smiled triumphantly. 1

She grabbed Stefan’s hand and whimpered, “Stefan, thank god you got here in time. If you had arrived

even a bit later, the baby would have been in danger. I can’t believe Miss Everheart’s desire for

revenge is so strong that she actually tries to harm the

innocent baby. She…”

“You can stop acting now.”

Stefan said coldly, “I know what happened. Your pretentiousness is starting to disgust me.”

Although he had only met Margaret once before, he knew very well that Margaret could never have

done such a cruel thing.

“What do you mean, Stefan?”

Briar’s face was stiff.

So Stefan knew that Margaret was innocent, but he had her arrested anyway? Why? Stefan saw the

question in Briar’s eyes and asked coldly, “You want to know why?”
