The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1225
"Damn it, it must be because of that perfume!" Stefan held the door and wiped away the sweat on his forehead, trying his best to control his breathing. He stood at the door, wondering whether he should enter the room. If he left, he was worried that she might hurt herself.But if he entered the room, he might hurt her more.Renee eventually bumped into a pillar, and woke up with a start. She looked around, confused, then stared at the cactus needles in her hand. "Where am I? What am I doing?" "Renee, you're… awake?" Stefan swallowed and asked her urgently.Surprised, Renee turned around and looked at Stefan, whose face was twisted in pain. She quickly rushed over and supported him, asking in concern, "Stefan, what's the matter with you? Why is your body so hot and your face so flushed? Are you having a fever?" "Don't touch me!" Stefan pushed her away as sweat rolled down his throat. He was aware of the changes in his body, and it was getting increasingly difficult to control his

The next morning, Renee got up in bed. She pushed aside the blanket and found that she was wearing pyjamas. She looked around the room in confusion, but it was empty. "That's weird… Did something happen last night? Did I sleepwalk again?"Eventually, images flooded her mind, but to her confusion, they were mostly of her and Stefan. The scenes were so passionate that she had no idea if they were real or just her imagination. After all, when she sleepwalked, she could not differentiate between reality and fantasy."Ah, forget it. Even if we did sleep together, it wouldn't be the first time!" She couldn't get an answer even after thinking about it, so she just decided to regard it as a colourful dream.It was rather late, so Renee quickly washed up and went out for breakfast. After that, she shamelessly went to Stefan and Seraphina's room and rang the bell endlessly. 'If Stefan still refuses to tell me about my brother's affairs with Joanne, there's going to be trouble.'However, ther

"Stefan!" Renee roared as she barged into the headquarters of H Group angrily. Immediately, everyone turned to her, but nobody dared to do anything because she was their president's ex-wife. At last, Elijah, Stefan's assistant, blocked her and said politely, "Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Hunt is having a meeting. Please go and wait in the reception room.""I'm not Mrs. Hunt! Don't talk nonsense!" Renee snapped and rolled up her sleeves menacingly. "I'll count to three, and if Stefan doesn't come out by then, I'm going to destroy this building. One, two…""Umm…" Everyone looked at each other in panic, not sure of what to do."It's okay, Mrs. Hunt, I'll inform Mr. Hunt that you're here," Elijah said quickly. He was aware of how violent Renee was, so he decided to take the risk and inform Stefan that she was here. Although Stefan was hard to deal with, he was much gentler than Renee, so Elijah would rather face his wrath instead.Stefan was currently under pressure because Carmine Pawnshop's trea

"An inferior organization like Carmine Pawnshop is now stepping on us. They just want to ruin us and let Azure Group take the top spot! If we take things slow now, it may cause H Group to suffer a great loss!""Mr. Hunt, you're always wise, bold, and decisive. Why are you suddenly being so generous? Is the Night Demon holding something against you?" One shareholder sneered, but Stefan was unfazed.One of the shareholders said carefully, "Or rather, are you trying not to offend Miss Everheart? Even if you're wrongly accused, you won't fight back because you want to look good in her eyes… is that it?"Stefan shot the shareholder a cold glare. "None of you can comment on my decision. Who's the president here?" Everyone went silent, and lowered their heads in shame. No one dared to say anything.Meanwhile, Elijah heaved a sigh and walked out of the conference room. He went over to Renee and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hunt, but the president is very busy at the moment. He

Fueled by her victory, Renee happily went around breaking all the things she had bought for Stefan. After all, it should be fine since she was the one who had bought them. "Now you're done for, Mrs. Hunt. You broke all his favourite things, and I bet he's going to be furious. Why don't you run away now? I fear the consequences might be dire.""He'll be furious?" Renee finally stopped, breathing hard. Grinning wickedly at Elijah, she said, "Well, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. He started it, so it's only right that I end it."Renee looked around Stefan's office and pursed her lips contemplatively. 'Ugh, I can't believe I bought so many things for that ungrateful turd. I'm so tired that I can't even break them all.' Finally, her gaze landed on the coffee machine she bought him, and she walked over to it. Just as she lifted it up, Stefan strode into the room. He grabbed her wrist and sneered, "Are you done making a scene?""Well, well… Master Hunt finally joined the party. I'l
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1230
Stefan glared at Elijah and demanded, "What do you mean? Why would she buy me things?""Well, it was Miss Everheart who bought these...""Ahem, ahem!" Seeing that Elijah was about to let the cat out of the bag, she immediately interrupted him. She then looked at Stefan and said quickly, "Mr. Hunt, you're very smart. You know I wouldn't buy you something unless I had an ulterior motive.""Hmph, you know yourself well," he scoffed in disdain. When he looked at the mess all over the floor, he said icily, "Buy me these things again, and I'll let you off the hook."That was his final compromise. If he had not lost control and wronged her the night before, he would never have forgiven her this easily. "Fine, I'll buy them for you. These aren't expensive, after all, so I can easily afford them," Renee sneered. After all, she was the one who gave him those things, so it was easy for her to buy them again. "But Master Hunt, you should also do something to quell my anger, right?" Stefan

Stefan knew that he could no longer keep the incident a secret. He stared at Renee, his gaze contemplative. "What do you think of Quinton?" He asked finally.Renee thought about it for a while, then said objectively, "I know that Quinton did a lot of crazy things. He isn't a good guy, but he's not an evil villain either. He usually made extreme choices because he was forced to—he just wanted to survive. Carmine Pawnshop only made it because they had to resort to a lot of illegal things, but these were usually done in the open sea which was under no one's jurisdiction. Hence, the police couldn't do anything about it.""Well, you certainly know how to find excuses for him. I suppose that since you can empathise with a villain, you're probably hiding your own dark side," Stefan said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow lazily.Renee was speechless for a while, then sneered, "Yes, my brother and I are villains with dark sides, but you're not so good yourself either, Mr. Hunt. You tricked a

When Renee noticed that Stefan was about to leave, she quickly said with a smile, "My bad, go on. I won't doubt you again. I'll believe whatever you say." He might be arrogant, but he did have his principles. She knew he wouldn't falsely accuse others. "Joanne fell out with Quinton because… she was pregnant with Quinton's child, but he forcefully aborted the child," Stefan said softly after a while, revealing the dark secret that he had kept hidden for so long. "Wh-What?" Renee was so shocked that her body started to tremble. She couldn't accept Stefan's words at all!Stefan continued, "Before that, Quinton had killed her biological parents and brother, but she still hadn't given up hope on him… until he killed her child. She went berserk and vowed to take revenge for her deceased child, and that's when she came to me and told me about Carmine Pawnshop' weakness. She was the one who obtained a dagger and stabbed Quinton in the chest; she wanted to take him down with her.""No,

Vermillion was neither eye-catching nor dark. It suited the scarf around her neck well, making her look brighter and more sophisticated. She was not as pale and weak as she looked just now. "I like this color. I didn't expect you to know women this well. You picked the right lipstick color." Renee pursed her lips and sincerely praised Jovan.Usually, insensible men would pick pink lipstick, which was awful. When Jovan picked that lipstick, Renee's heart skipped a beat. She was even wondering where she should go to remove the lipstick. However, it was not pink. It happened to be vermillion, which she had always favored. It would be hard to gain such knowledge if Jovan had not had experience with it. It could be seen that he had dated quite a lot of women."I'm glad you like it." Jovan looked at her rosy lips which were wonderful and charming. He inevitably swallowed.Renee noticed that he was charmed—but he was not simply attracted by her. Instead, he admired her religiously, whi

"His money?" After a brief pause, Renee waved her hand and said without hesitation, "Well, I'll take this then!""Sure! Please wait for a moment." The saleslady's eyes brightened as she quickly packed the bracelet for Renee.Renee took the gift box and handed it to Jovan. Jovan took it readily and willingly carried it for her like her lackey.They exited the jewelry shop and went shopping someplace else. "You didn't want to use my money, but you used his. Do you value him or me?" Jovan was asking for rebuff. Renee turned and glanced at him. "What do you think?""Of course, you value me." Jovan grinned. "The greatest love is feeling sorry for and doting on your beloved. You must have felt sorry for me. So, you didn't want to spend my money.""Congratulations. You're good at comforting yourself." Renee was quite amused. She could not tell who she valued more. She had wanted to spend Stefan's money because she resented him, so she wanted to waste his money. She refused to use J

It would cost around 150 fifteen dollars or less. Renee found it hard to spend so much of Jovan's money.Jovan stood behind Renee and acted like her wallet. He pocketed his hands and said straightforwardly, "Just show it to us.""Sure!" The saleslady's eyes lit up. She said something to the walkie-talkie, then asked them to wait. The headquarters were trying their best to deliver the item quickly. "May I know how much the new item costs?" Renee asked the saleslady tentatively."It depends on the individual prices of the jewelry and antiques. Its starting price is around 450 thousand dollars," the saleslady explained calmly.It was not a small figure for jewelry or an antique. If they were combined, the item would be more expensive. But people who came to the jewelry shop were powerful and rich figures. Hence, it was not an expensive price either."450 thousand dollars?!" Renee pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at Jovan. "I'll make an excuse to go to the washroom late

The car drove through the city center in a high-profile manner and reached BC Airport. Jovan had bought an afternoon flight, so they had to wait for five hours. Of course, he had done it purposely because he wanted to spend more time with Renee.After parking the car, Jovan hypocritically glanced at his watch and asked in a dilemma. "There are five hours left before our flight. Do you want to go shopping?""I'm not in the mood." Renee leaned against the shotgun seat and sounded weak. After all, she had just escaped death. Yes, she had recovered, but her body had undergone a lot of hardships. She became rather weak. She was not interested in everything and was naturally in no mood to go shopping. "If you're not in the mood, let's get you into the mood. Let's go!" Jovan opened his car door and went to the other side to open the door of the shotgun seat. He dragged Renee out of the car. Helpless, Renee got out of the car with him reluctantly. After checking in on the flight, Jov

Elijah sounded urgent and serious. "Mr. Hunt, something's wrong!"Meanwhile, Renee exited the hospital. There was a luxurious convertible at the entrance which attracted a lot of people's attention. Jovan, who kept a high profile, was sitting in the sports car.He was wearing an ostentatious black floral shirt. However, his ostentatious appearance coupled with his casual aura made him look more charming like a model from an advertisement. Renee covered her face and stealthily got into the car. "Can you stop keeping a high profile? You're very eye-catching. It's dangerous!"Jovan kept waving, shouting, and whistling at her just now. It filled her with deep embarrassment. "Well, we're all experiencing the world. If I don't keep a high profile, people won't remember me. I don't care what they think about me as long as I have a great time!"After Jovan confirmed that Renee had sat properly, he pressed hard on the gas pedal and started driving. Although Renee found that unaccept

"Are you trying to sound me out?" Renee smirked, squinting her eyes at Stefan. Although he claimed that he wanted to end things with her and kept some distance from her, his actions betrayed him. These days, he kept staying close to her. Besides, he kept acting when it was time for her to leave the hospital. He purposely dawdled while helping her pack her things. Besides, he even asked about her relationship with Justin. It showed that he was reluctant to part with her. She was baffled. She wondered why he was that aloof if he could not part with her."No, I'm not." Stefan smiled and did not hide anything. He openly admitted, "I care about you.""You finally…" Renee's eyes brightened as she looked at him eagerly. She wondered if he had come to his senses and wanted to tell her the truth. He was willing to face the difficulty with her.However, he sounded even calmer. "After all, you're Adie and Abby's mother. Grandpa is always concerned about you. I want you to be happy and sa

The Lotso bear was a villain in the movie, but it was a pitiful villain because it was abandoned by its owner. It used various means and encountered a lot of hardships to return to Daisy, its owner. In the end, it found that its owner had long gained new toys.After getting hurt, it no longer wanted to be kind. It was used to act cunningly as a form of disguise. But honestly, it was a dear baby who needed love. Of course, it was not a villain at all. Renee liked it because she saw herself as well as others in it. Everyone was gloomy in some way. People got hurt and slowly became gloomy. Instead of criticizing such a thing, Renee felt more compassion and sorry for such a situation. "But you still don't want it and want to throw it away." Stefan was gripped with complicated feelings after listening to Renee's explanation. He sounded sad."Yes, I like it. But I still want to throw it away. It's better to stop in time." Renee laughed and stopped shaking her legs. She was her usual
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2368
A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be
