Chapter 16 Go Hungry
Minna angrily shouted, “What do you mean by that?”
Renee calmly replied, “This is my husband’s memorial hall. Ms.
Denver, please don’t make loud noises. Mr. Duran has a bad temper. If he gets angry, he might come haunting you in the middle of the night.”
Renee added sincerely, “Have you met Mr. Duran? You know that his temper is really bad.”
Minna instinctively glanced at the black and white portrait.
When Tristan was alive, Minna had only seen him a couple of times, but from a distance. She had never clearly seen his appearance because her status was much lower than Tristan’s. They were not even in the same world.
But this didn’t stop Minna from hearing legends about Tristan.
It was said that Tristan was cruel, vicious, unpredictable… Every word was an accurate description of him.
Even though Tristan was dead, no one dared to touch the property under his name. They were all waiting and observing.
Minna pursed her lips and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Even if there are ghosts in this world, how could Mr. Duran be interested in you?”
But Minna was somewhat afraid of that coffin. She said, “I’ll settle the score with you later.” Then she fled away.
Everyone went for lunch, and the memorial hall became quiet. Renee finally had the chance to stretch her limbs.
No one cared about her, so naturally, no one brought her food.
Renee sighed and thought that Klein had said something wrong. The Duran family didn’t provide her with a luxurious life. They didn’t even give her food.
Renee looked at the offerings on the table and broke off a banana.
Upon careful consideration, Renee thought it would be better to be by Tristan’s side. At least he wouldn’t let her go hungry.
“Hey.” Suddenly, a voice startled Renee. When she turned around, she saw Klein standing in the courtyard, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Renee quickly put the banana back in the fruit tray.
Klein glanced at the partially eaten banana in disbelief and said with disdain. “Do you think I’m blind or stupid?”
Renee glanced at Klein, took the banana back, and continued eating. Klein clicked his tongue. “Why don’t you keep pretending?”
“Since you’ve seen it. I may as well finish it.” Renee vaguely replied.
Klein walked up to Rence and watched her eating like a hamster. feeling disgusted. “Look at you. You are not like a noble lady at all.”
Renee paused and said. “But I’m not a noble lady.”
Klein was lost for words.
He didn’t know why he chose to come back. Perhaps it was because of what he saw before leaving. Renee was kneeling desolately,
surrounded by many people, but none of them had any goodwill towards her, which annoved Klein.
Regardless, Renee was a member of the Fletcher family and shouldn’t be treated like this.

“You have been brought back to Ampleshire, so you represent the Fletcher family from now on.” Klein glared at her and said. “If you embarrass yourself outside, the Fletcher family will be embarrassed too. Do you understand?”
Renee finished the banana and secretly took one of Tristan’s peaches. She discovered that the offerings for Tristan were quite tasty.
Klein was furious. “Did you hear what I said? Stop eating!”
Renee swallowed the peach in her mouth and slowly said, “I heard you.”
She added seriously, “Or maybe you should just send me back to Peace Town. That way, your family won’t be disgraced.”
“What do you mean by ‘your family“?” Klein pinched Renee’s chubby cheek and said, “Aren’t you a member of the Fletcher family?“
