Renee even told everyone about her attempted suicide.
"I swallowed sleeping pills because of this man, and I almost lost my life! But now he's leaving me just like that. I really don't know what I did wrong..."
Renee sobbed uncontrollably, leaving Toph standing there, utterly bewildered and unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, someone forcefully dragged Toph away. He was stunned when he realized the person who had pulled him out was Lena.
"Stop this nonsense, Renee!" Lena glared at her. "Do you only find happiness in destroying him?"
Renee was taken aback, her eyes turning sinister.
Lena stepped forward to stand in front of Toph. She had coincidentally passed the cafe close to the Thompson Group on her way to buy coffee. She had never expected to stumble upon this confrontation.
"Renee, tell us how he treated you," Lena said earnestly. "Speak honestly with your conscience. You were ready to betray the Thompson Group for your own selfish desires, and now you're threatening him. I used to feel guilty about you, but now, I find it hard to sympathize."
"Lena!" Renee seethed. "What are you doing here? Who do you think you are to say that? Don't forget that you were responsible for my mom's death!"
"She brought it upon herself. It had nothing to do with me!"
"You..." Renee's anger boiled over. She snatched a glass from the table and hurled it at Lena.
Quick on her feet, Lena pushed Toph away, narrowly avoiding the glass as it shattered against the wall with a jarring noise.
