Stefan raised his brows but didn't persist. "Forget it—I'm sure I'll find out whatever you all are hiding from me eventually. I believe in Owen's skills." Clang! The thermos suddenly fell from Seraphina's hand, and she screamed as the hot soup splashed onto her hand. "Ah, it hurts!""Are you okay?" Stefan immediately put down the document in his hands and went to Seraphina."It's okay, it's just a slight burn." Seraphina tried to brush it off, but she looked like she was in pain. "Let me have a look." Stefan took Seraphina's hand and leaned down to study it. When he saw that the back of her hand was red and burned, he frowned deeply. "Take her to the medical room and tend to this, Elijah.""No, it's fine. I'm really okay..." Seraphina trailed off as she looked at the soup that had spilled all over the floor. "But it's a pity… I spent the whole afternoon making this soup for you, and now the carpet's dirty too." "The soup can be made again and the carpet can be cleaned, but I'd

Instantly, Seraphina's features twisted into a hideous snarl. She glared at Elijah and sneered icily, "What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Young? Do you doubt my feelings for Stefan?" "I'm not doubting your sincerity towards him, but I just want to know how deep it runs… How much would you be willing to sacrifice for Mr. Hunt?" Elijah asked bluntly. He didn't care if Seraphina thought him selfish or overbearing; he just wanted to be sure of Seraphina before he tried to help her get closer to Stefan. After all, Renee had almost killed Stefan, so he had to make sure Seraphina didn't have any ulterior motives."I'm willing to do anything for Stefan, including giving up my life..." Seraphina bit her lip as she recalled what happened in the past, her eyes watery. "I'm sure you don't know this, but… When that woman's brother went mad and kidnapped Stefan, I suffered a lot so Stefan could come back safely." Elijah frowned, staring at her curiously. "What happened?" "I'm sure you kn
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1450
The fact that Seraphina, a rich young lady from a noble family, had been sullied by a group of criminals was something she should have kept a secret, but she revealed it to Elijah to win his support. If Elijah saw her sincerity and helped get her and Stefan closer, things would be much simpler."Yeah, I didn't imagine you loved Mr. Hunt that much..." Elijah stared at Seraphina, feeling conflicted. If Renee's love for Stefan glowed steadily and brightly like the Moon, then Seraphina's love for Stefan burned fervently and madly like the Sun. It was really hard to choose which love was more suitable for Stefan. "Your relationship with Mr. Hunt has been good lately. Although he's busy with work and doesn't spend much time with you, I guarantee that he still cares about you. Don't worry, you both will have more time together once he settles his work." Elijah tried to reassure Seraphina, who was glaring daggers at him."Do you think I'm a kid? I don't need to be coaxed!" Seraphina scof

Two days later, Renee changed into a surgical gown and walked into the sterile surgery room of the manor with Jovan."Please lie down on the operating table." The eye surgeon instructed the nurses to help them onto the table after a brief check-up and anesthesia testing. Renee gave her full cooperation throughout the process, staying quiet the whole time. The image of her in the large surgical gown with her long hair wrapped up in a cap made her look like a little lamb off to the slaughter. She laid down on the operating table, the surgical light above her so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. Halos of light swam in her vision, and she felt as if she was stuck in a nightmare. "Do you regret it?" She heard Jovan's indifferent voice nearby. "It's not too late if you do.""No, I don't." Renee smiled pathetically. "I'll never regret since I'll be getting so much money." "Okay, then. I promise I'll reward you generously," Jovan promised firmly. After the anesthesiologist fini

Renee sighed in relief when she sensed no hostility from Lisa, and immediately asked, "Is the surgery over? Was it successful? Can Jovan see again?""I heard from Ms. Pierce that the surgery was successful. Mr. Jovan will have his stitches and bandages removed in a week, and he can see again. But unfortunately, you..." Lisa let out a soft sigh as she looked at Renee, pale and weak in her surgical gown. Feeling sorry for Renee, Lisa asked hesitantly, "What are you planning to do in the future?""Don't worry. I might have lost my sight, but I'm not dead. I can survive this. There are many blind people in the world who have done great things..." Even though Renee was in a lot of pain, she still tried to reassure Lisa because she could tell Lisa genuinely felt sorry for her."I'll take good care of you for the next few days, Ms. Everheart. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything. I'll help you as long as it's within my abilities." Lisa felt that Renee was a kind and positive pers

"No, that's not true!" Renee said in panic, worried that Adie would investigate her whereabouts."I'm safe, and nothing has happened to me in years. So, don't worry, take care of Abby, and listen to Margaret. Understand?" Before Renee could end the call, Adie said bluntly, "No, Mommy, you've gotten into a lot of trouble in the past few years, and you still get into trouble. I think something's happened to you, and that's why you don't want to video call us... How about this, Mommy? Turn your camera on for a second and let me see you; I'll believe you if there's really nothing wrong.""Umm, well..." Renee stammered, then blurted out, "What are you saying, Adie? I'm hiking with my friend, and the signal is bad. I'll hang up first!" After that, she quickly ended the call, feeling guilty."You're so lucky, Ms. Everheart! Your children are cute and smart, and they love you so much!" Lisa remarked, looking wistful."I'm lucky, but they're not..." Renee sighed miserably and explained, "Th

"This isn't a sacrifice, it's a repayment." Renee forced a calm smile onto her face. "Thank you for thinking about me, but this had to be done." Lisa pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret since you asked me to. Are you sure you want to leave now though? If you do, I'll talk to Ms. Pierce for you. I think she'll be okay with it.""There's no rush." A sigh escaped Renee. "You said that Jovan is still in a coma, and we don't know how he'll feel when he wakes up. I think it's better for me to sneak out after it's proven that he can see again. That way, if anything happens in between, I can still help." "Oh, Ms. Everheart, you're so kind! Even now, you're worried about Mr. Jovan. You must love him a lot, don't you?" Lisa smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry—you're the only one Mr. Jovan likes. Once he's recovered, he can snatch Hunt Enterprise from Stefan, then he can take care of you and make it up to you.""Ugh, I didn't think of that..." Renee groaned,

"No, it was Stef who made the decision, I just saw it through. It's his life, so I can only respect his choices," Francine said with a melancholic sigh. Back then, she was overbearing and used to control every aspect of Stefan's life. She even used to meddle in his marriage, until Stefan's relationship with Renee took a turn for the worse. Maybe she should have just let them be since Stefan cared so much about Renee… Maybe she shouldn't have given Briar a chance.Naturally, she didn't want to make the same mistake again. "But do all of you respect me? Have you ever thought about the consequences if something does wrong? Have you thought about what would happen to me if he really does regain his memories?" Seraphina's eyes watered as she asked them desperately. She turned to Francine, looking aggrieved. "You know about my feelings for Stef, Madam Francine, and you know what I've suffered for him. I've been with him when he was blind, on the verge of death, and even when the executive

Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

"Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

"I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

"You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

"I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s
