"How can that be?" Shirley demanded, her eyes wild. "You lost your sight, but got more love in return! If you could see, you'll know how much Mr. Hunt loves you. I also want to be like you… I want Xavier to love me more.""Stefan and Xavier are different people." Renee tried her best to dissuade Shirley. After all, once it was done, she couldn't regret it. She didn't want Shirley to be forced into this, or she wouldn't be at peace using her eyes. She might as well give up the idea. "How is it different..." Shirley sounded agitated. "Xavier isn't worse than Mr. Hunt. His love wasn't any less than Mr. Hunt's back then, but I got so anxious that I lost him. Now I want to win him back, and I think it's worth exchanging my heart for his love.""You're out of your mind!" Renee massaged her temples exhaustedly. Her body was already weak after the abortion, and now her mind had to suffer too. "I'm tired. Please go home if there's nothing else you want to say. I want to rest." She leaned ag

Stefan smacked away Xavier's hand coldly and glared at Xavier and Owen fiercely. "Is this all an act so Shirley doesn't have to give up her eyes?" "Are you kidding me?" Xavier huffed exasperatedly. He had always admired Stefan, but now he found him shameless and insensible, attacking everyone without reason. "I know I can be a jerk sometimes, but even I won't go that far. Why would I ask Shirley to come here to take the test then? You're not thinking straight!"Owen quickly chimed in, "And I'm just a doctor. I don't want to meddle in anyone's relationship. If it's a match, I would have told you. There's no need for me to pretend."Stefan closed his eyes and covered his face, looking troubled. He felt like he had lost the courage to face the world… and Renee. "What should I do? What about… Ren?" Stefan asked hoarsely. When things were dire, he was optimistic because he felt things would definitely get better. However, having his hope snatched away was too painful. He had thought tha

Stefan watched Owen leave the study with a frown, then glanced at the stack of thick medical reports on the floor. Anxiety gripped him, and after a brief hesitation, he bent over to pick them up. He scanned through the documents. Although there were many medical terms, he could understand some of them. It was reported that the fetus had stopped developing, and Renee had a painless miscarriage. She was also suffering from heavy metal poisoning and nerve damage. Stefan's face became deathly pale and his mouth went dry."What… How?" Stefan couldn't believe his eyes. His hands were trembling, and his eyes turned bloodshot.Xavier was upset by Stefan's accusations, and had secretly decided he wouldn't be his friend anymore, but when he saw Stefan's reaction, he felt worried. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and barked, "Hey, what's going on? Is it good news or bad news?"However, Stefan looked like he hadn't even heard Xavier. The reports fell from his hands, and he kept muttering, "N

Stefan stormed up the stairs, livid."Mr. Hunt, there you are. How are the test results? Can I help... Ah!" Stefan pushed Shirley away rudely. He had no patience to be polite or talk to anyone—all he wanted to do was see Renee.Meanwhile, Renee was lying in bed, suffering both physical and psychological pain. Her slim body was curled into a tiny ball, and she was as pale as a ghost.Stefan sneaked into the room quietly, holding his breath as he neared the bed. As he watched her tremble and writhe in pain, tears filled his eyes. He didn't dare to speak because she might pretend she was okay if she knew he was there. She would force a smile even if she was in pain.What a failure of a husband he was.His wife had been suffering so much, but he didn't even know it. When she laid on the cold surgery table to remove their child, he hadn't been with her."Ugh!" As the anesthesia wore off and the pain of the poison returned, Renee's stomach and body ached. It was a gnawing pain that g
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1644
Renee did feel that her pain had diminished a little, though she didn't know why. As the days went by, Stefan stayed by her side as her eyes and her support, describing the world to her every day. Meanwhile, Owen was working hard to find treatments to detoxify Renee. "The most important thing now is to find the components of the poison, then, I can make the antidote for it..." Owen frowned anxiously. This might be the most difficult case of his career. "We're running out of time. Did you find out anything about the poison?" Stefan grasped his hands together, his gaze fierce. "We can only find the person who poisoned her if we want to know what poison it was. I'll get the news very soon." Then, he glanced at his wristwatch. "Give me half a day. I'll tell you the answer by tonight." He got up and left the study in a hurry.Elijah had started the car and was waiting for Stefan outside Everheart Manor. "Mr. Hunt, I found her. Should we go there now?""Let's go." The car drove fast

Stefan didn't complain as he kept his head low and climbed up the rugged and winding cliff. He would not hesitate to climb the cliff as long as he could find the answer. He'd even kneel with every step up the cliff if he was asked to. The climb wasn't an easy one, and it would usually take more than an hour, but since Stefan was only given half an hour, he ran to the top. There was a small flat area on the top of the cliff, and the only thing that could be seen was the blue sea ahead. The woman was standing at the edge of the cliff, and dug her nails into her palms when she saw Stefan. "Mr. Hunt, I'm sorry. I've ruined your peaceful life with Ms. Everheart. I… I actually came here to end things. I want to atone for my sins." Tess' face was full of tears, and she looked very pale. In just a few days, she'd become haggard and thin as if she was being poisoned too, but it was just her guilt and stress weighing on her. Stefan calmed his rapid breathing and asked Tess calmly, "Don't ste
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1646
After that, Tess closed her eyes and spread her arms, falling backwards off the cliff."No!" Stefan lunged forward and grabbed her arm.Tess opened her eyes and looked at him in shock. She sobbed as she shook her head. "Mr. Hunt, I'm a sinner. Why did you save me? I should die. Let go!""I believe that you didn't harm her on purpose, so you can't resolve this by ending your life..." Stefan frowned and forcefully tried to pull Tess up. Sweat rolled down his face as he hissed, "Come back and make up for it!""No, I can't... I really can't. If I don't die, she won't let go of my family. My family will become worthless to her if I'm dead, and only then will they be safe!" Tess had decided to die before she climbed up the cliff. She wanted to fix her mistake, so she had called that woman over so Stefan could confront her. Then Tess would die, and everything would be okay again. "Cut the crap! I can't hold you any longer… Come up!" Stefan had no energy to talk as he struggled to pull
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1647
"Of course I know who you are." Stefan's gaze was cold, his tone vague. "I thought you were dead." Previously, Seraphina had threatened Renee with a video of Renee accidentally pushing Briar off a cliff. Thanks to that, Renee and Stefan had lost so much time with each other. Stefan had thought that Briar was dead given the surging waves below the cliff, but he was ultimately relieved to see her.Briar cried under the mask. She looked at Stefan and asked, "How did you feel when you saw that I'm alive?""I was thankful." Stefan didn't hesitate. "I'm thankful that you're alive and that I can still talk to you." "Do you mean it?" Briar was surprised. "I thought you hated me and wanted me dead." "Yes, I do hate you. Ren and I wouldn't have wasted so many years if not for you, but... I'm thankful that you're still alive. It means that Ren doesn't have to carry all that guilt. She doesn't have to turn herself in," Stefan said honestly.Briar staggered back, feeling like she had just be

Renee woke up early the next day. After she was done washing up, a servant arrived and asked her to head to Austin's study."Okay, I'll go now." For an unknown reason, Renee felt worried. Although the Baldwin family had let bygones be bygones and treated her as their own, she still felt inexplicably uneasy.She had witnessed Austin's wrath and knew how dangerous her current situation was. Her words or expressions might infuriate Austin. If so, she would be doomed forever. During the conversation the day before, she noticed that Austin was bothered by Quinton's background. He sounded like he wanted to eliminate that trouble. Renee understood why Austin wanted to meet her alone. He definitely wanted to criticize Quinton and make her express herself properly. While she was walking toward Austin's study, Renee wondered whether she should contact Justin. After all, she told him yesterday that they should face any issue together. However, though she was holding her phone, she c

Renee's words turned the air cold.Justin stopped walking and looked at her, his gaze ice. He demanded, "You want to end it here? What do you mean?" Renee was filled with guilt. She avoided Justin's fierce gaze and tried to make the topic less stressful. "I mean… Let's end everything here.""Hmph!" Justin snorted, unable to hide his disappointment. He found it unfair. "It's just a small thing, but you want to give up so easily. Is our relationship that fragile?""I just don't want to make things difficult for you." Renee heaved a long sigh, overwhelmed with emotions.She belonged to the dark and was fine with her gloomy side, but she didn't want to pull Justin into the darkness. She felt that ending things with him as soon as possible was the right choice.After all, she could never treat Quinton as a stranger for the sake of her happiness. If she had to choose between the two, she could only choose Quinton. She was all he had."No, I don't think so…" Justin frowned, despondent
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2257
A long sigh escaped Renee. Rather than contempt, she sympathized with Quinton deeply. "I'm his sister. I can't treat him like a stranger. All I can do is gradually help him lead a normal life and guide him to atone for his sins. I feel sad for his past."Silence filled the air. No one said anything, at a loss for words. They couldn't be callous and say as they liked. Now that Austin had learned of this, no one could be sure if his righteous and stubborn personality would make him stop Renee and Justin's marriage.After all, Austin was a very strict person. He had been honorable his whole life. He couldn't allow a wicked man's sister to be a part of his family. Justin, anxious, hurriedly echoed Renee's words. "Yes, her brother has changed a lot. Now, he's doing decent work. His pawnshop only deals with rare items instead of indecent ones. I've spent some time with him. He's a reasonable guy, not at all as wicked as the rumors make out. At most… He's just got a bad temper."Ju

When she heard such aggressive words from Justin, Sophia immediately cleared her throat to stop him from talking. However, Austin had no idea about the relationship between Renee and Water Dock. Instead of stopping, he sounded more indignant."That place is full of inhumane people, but I'm not from Beach City. If that place were here in North City, I would have gotten rid of it! It has harmed so many people…""Oh, Grandpa! Please stop talking!" Justin turned livid. He anxiously got up and tried to remedy the situation. "There are always good and bad people. You can't criticize them like they're the same." "Nonsense!" Austin had been a soldier his whole life and was deeply self-righteous. He added angrily, "I'm not joking! People related to that place better don't come to North City. If they do, I'll kill them and make them repent their sins!" Renee remained calm and indifferent. When Austin got tired from criticizing, she slowly looked up at him."Grandpa Baldwin, you're right
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2255
His words instantly made everyone upset—or at least, Renee was. Her face darkened as she recalled unpleasant memories. Sophia immediately glared at Jack and snapped, "Why did you bring that up? They're about to get married. It's a happy event for our families! Why must you talk about revenge? It's bad luck!"Everyone knew someone had deliberately targeted and framed the Everheart family back then. Even outsiders couldn't bear to recall that. As the only one who bore all the misery after her family was ruined, Renee must have been very desperate and heartbroken at that time. Ordinary people would never mention that. Unfortunately, Sophia's straightforward husband was a born comedian. He had mentioned that on purpose, infuriating her. "It's okay." Renee flexed her fingers and tried her best to appear at ease. "My heartbreaking past is gone, but I need to help my family make a comeback and avenge my parents. My brother and I have always worked hard for it, so of course I'll be glad
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2254
Since Renee and Justin had reached a consensus, their wedding date must be set. The Baldwin family sat at the dining table and kept staring at Renee, who had taken her seat. They couldn't hide their joy."You two are considered married now, so we should hold a wedding soon. It'll be bad for your reputation otherwise. It'll be a great loss for you, too," Austin said; he didn't beat around the bush as he didn't want Renee to make an excuse and turn his suggestion down.Besides, the Baldwin family assumed that she and Justin had enjoyed a great romance that afternoon. They were eager for a baby.Thus, the wedding was an urgent matter. If Renee got pregnant before she married Justin, it would shame the family. Austin didn't want to see that. "Uh…" Renee cautiously sipped some tea while everyone stared eagerly at her. She was gripped with the same anxiety she felt when interrogated. Helpless, she glanced at Justin for help.Justin immediately stood up and complained, "Grandpa, w

"You can't regret it if I go on." Justin confirmed with Renee again. He knew she was forcing herself, but he needed an answer from her. People might change their minds. For example, Renee knocked him out just now because he was rude. She even tied him up and wouldn't let him touch her at all. But it had only been a few hours. She wasn't on guard against him as she lay in bed and was letting him do whatever he wanted with her. Who knows, she might regret it later if they did sleep with each other. Then, she might hate and leave him… Justin had to get to the bottom of it and get rid of all the risks. He didn't want to be manipulative."Go on. I won't regret it!" Renee gnashed her teeth, insisting on making that breakthrough—as if she could only embrace a new life by overcoming that big obstacle.In a way, Justin was her savior, the one who helped her bid her past goodbye. "I'll keep that in mind regardless if you mean it or not. I'll assume that you're willing," Justin said.

"Have you thought it through?" Justin looked at her as she lay in bed. Though she was still wearing clothes, her curvy figure sparked endless imagination in him.Undeniably, Renee was an attractive and smart woman. Her amazing skills were merely one of her charms. Her devastatingly beautiful face and seductive figure were the reasons why so many men fell for her. People generally loved wonderful things, regardless if they were elite men or the average Joe. No one could resist Renee's charm and figure. In short, it was a physical attraction."Yes, I've thought it through." Renee looked up at Justin. He seemed like a familiar stranger to her—familiar because he had always been her soulmate and best friend who shared many interests and the same views. They dreamed of the same thing too: world peace.Justin mirrored her character. She would see herself every time she looked at him. They were a perfect match. Hence, he was a familiar stranger to her. For the first time, she realized

Renee understood Justin and frowned. She tore off the tape on his mouth and pinched his cheek. "You have five minutes to repent since you're awake. If you do a good job, I'll let you go. If not, I'll keep you tied up here."The scene just now was awkward for the two of them. Renee had to come up with a way to get rid of that. If not, she didn't know how to face him, let alone spend the rest of her life with him."Repent?" Justin took deep breaths and cleared his throat. Then, he looked into her eyes. "What do you want me to repent for?""You…"Justin's bold gaze rendered Renee helpless. She bit her lip awkwardly. "What do you think?" "Are you referring to me kissing you, or…me trying to make you mine?" Although Renee knocked him out, he remembered everything that happened before he fainted, including what he had seen."Yeah, you were rude. Shouldn't you repent?" Renee tried to make herself bolder. If not… She would seem unreasonable, especially when her dignity was violated.
