The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1678
A day had passed, and the atmosphere in Everheart Manor was tense. Everyone in the manor looked solemn."Today is the last day. Where's Stefan?" Owen looked up at the calendar on the wall in the living room, and a worried sigh escaped him."It's hard to tell." Quinton clenched his fists, then scoffed, "I've always said that he's just an incapable pretty boy. Don't count on him—we have to come up with something else."Owen hung his head in regret. "If I hadn't told him about the four herbs, he wouldn't have risked his life searching for them, and things wouldn't have ended up like this. We didn't get the herb, and now he's missing." "It's too late to say that now!" Xavier slammed his fist on the table and snarled, "What kind of a doctor are you? Are you trying to save lives or end them? Stefan wanted to dig people's eyes out because of your words, and now, thanks to you, we don't even know if he's alive!" He stood up and grabbed Owen's collar fiercely. "Tell us the truth—who the he

Quinton staggered back in shock. "How... could you...""What?" Xavier demanded stubbornly. "We aren't related, so I can say what I want! Don't think that I'll feel sorry for you—you're just an outcast, and if it wasn't for Stefan, I would have dealt with you ages ago!""That's enough!" Leia had been keeping silent, but she couldn't take it anymore. She got to her feet and pushed Xavier away. "You're upset because your first love has suffered—we get it.. Just stop taking out your frustrations on innocent people! Yes, others might not know about the conflict between Quinton and Stefan, but as Stefan's friend, you should know better. There's no right or wrong between them—just defeat or victory. If Quinton was still harboring a grudge against Stefan, don't you think he would have let him die when he saw him drowning in the Southern Sea?" Xavier looked at Leia, and calmed down a little. "I don't know about that, but I would never forgive someone who blinded and nearly killed me." "Bu

"I'm not, but you are!" Leia snapped furiously. "You're wrong—I'm the smart one who calls out lovestruck fools!" Xavier sneered.Both Owen and Quinton automatically took a step back and watched their fight. Honestly, it looked like a lovers' quarrel… and it was rather sweet.At that moment, a servant hurried into the room. "They're back! They're home!""They're back?" Both Leia and Xavier immediately stopped arguing, then childishly rushed to the door, each trying to outrun each other."I knew Stefan could do it! He could even find a mythical item… What a guy!" As Stefan's first fan, Xavier easily outran Leia and was the first to reach the door to welcome them.However, to his confusion, only Elijah and a stranger were walking towards them slowly. "Mr. Stuart!" When Elijah saw Xavier, his eyes glistened with unshed tears. He looked exhausted, and anyone looking at him could tell that things had not gone smoothly for them. "Where's Stefan? I don't… see him." Xavier looked aro

Leia could tell that something had happened to Stefan, but their priority right now was to detoxify Renee. "That's enough! Let go!" Leia pulled Xavier's hands off Elijah's collar, then told Neil and Elijah, "Go give the dragon's saliva to Dr. Wagner.""Okay!" Elijah turned around and gave Xavier a look, then sighed and rushed into the manor with Neil.When Owen saw the dragon's saliva, he was in disbelief. It was practically an elixir in medical textbooks and was rumoured to bring people back to life, and Stefan had actually found it. "Great! We have the items—Ms. Everheart can be saved!" Owen didn't waste any time and immediately went to his laboratory to make the antidote for Renee.After a day of research, he finally came up with the antidote and gave it to Renee. After a while, Renee felt much better. Her pain had lessened, and she didn't feel so weak anymore. "It's magical... I feel like I've come alive!" Renee leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes bright. Before this,

Thankfully, they had managed to fool Renee.After Renee chatted with them for a while, Owen suggested that they let Renee rest. "There are three courses of treatment that she'll take over a span of two weeks. She'll get better with each treatment, but she also needs to rest. Let's not disturb her." "Okay, let's go then." Leia immediately stood up and asked everyone to leave Renee's room.When they reached downstairs and confirmed that Renee was asleep, everyone called Neil and Elijah over and asked them to explain what had happened.Neil had wanted to set off for Dragos immediately with the remainder of the dragon's saliva, but decided he owed them an explanation. Taking a deep breath, he said to everyone, "In order to get the dragon's saliva, Mr. Hunt climbed our dragon statue, the most sacred thing in my clan. What he did infuriated the villagers, and if they're going to punish him by clan laws… They'll cook and eat him, sacrificing him to the ancestors to pacify the dragon's wr

Neil lowered his head, trembling in fear. He glanced at Elijah pleadingly. "Mr. Young, please help me. I did what you all told me; I didn't do anything wrong." "Mr. Stuart, it was my decision, not Neil's. Punish me if you want, but leave him out of this." Elijah closed his eyes, preparing for Xavier's attack. He had expected such a reaction when he made that choice. Stefan and Renee had both been on the verge of death, and Elijah had chosen to save Renee because he knew that was what Stefan would do. If he chose to save Stefan and lost the dragon's saliva, he would have lost the chance to save Renee, and Stefan would have suffered even more. Elijah didn't want to see Stefan have such regrets."Elijah, you're Stefan's most trusted subordinate. How could you betray him? Why?" Xavier's fury turned into confusion. He knew Elijah's loyalty towards Stefan was stronger than Xavier's friendship with Stefan; Even if everyone had abandoned Stefan, Elijah would never do such a thing. "I did

Quinton and Xavier rushed to Dragos with their men, and soon surrounded the tiny village from all directions. They came in large groups of professionals and elites, and had weapons aimed at the village from the sea, land, and sky. It looked like they would annihilate the village if the villagers refused to let Stefan go. Dragos' villagers regarded themselves as the descendants of the dragon, so all of them, regardless of age, stubbornly protected their village.Just as both parties were about to fight, Neil cried and got down on his knees between them. "Everyone just calm down, okay? We don't have to do this. Please don't fight!"Silas Drago, the head of the clan, led the villagers. All of them held spears, and they waved their weapons as they shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!""Dad, you're the head of the clan and the most rational person here. Please listen to me… We can't afford to offend them. Just let Mr. Hunt go. They'll also put the dragon's saliva back, so just forget about all
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1685
Silas angrily looked ahead. "Not only do they have guns, but they also have cannons and other terrible weapons. I know our village will be doomed if they aim even one of those at us… but we've always been living on top of the mountains away from the world. We never start conflicts, but there are always wicked people coveting our village treasures. If we compromise this time, they'll push their luck next time, and then our village will really be doomed. We're the descendants of dragons, so we must protect it. They've disrespected our dragon, so we have to fight to the death. We won't let them step into the village unless they kill all of us!" At that point, Silas turned and ordered his villagers, "Get ready to fight! Attack!" The hundreds of villagers yelled and roared, shooting arrows with fire towards Quinton and Xavier.Chase quickly blocked Quinton from the onslaught and said desperately, "Mr. Everheart, they're crazy! We can't reason with them. Just go back first, and let us han

"What is it, Mommy? You look so serious!" Adie touched his chin and looked at Renee seriously. He tried to make a guess. "I'm sure it's not something good because you don't look fine.""No, it's not something bad, but it might be a little change for you guys. I don't know if my idea is right or wrong." Renee frowned and hesitated. For a moment, she could not bring herself to tell them about it. "Just tell us, Mommy. Let's discuss it together. Then, we'll know if it's right or wrong." Abby blinked and sounded serious, too. Although Abby was not as smart as Adie, she was good at perceiving emotions. She could tell that Renee was unhappy. Moreover, she knew that the decision must be heartbreaking for Renee. It would be best if she and Adie could share the burden for Renee at that moment. "What a good girl you are, Abby!" Renee turned teary. She held Abby's chubby face and kissed the latter dotingly. "You're always my dear baby. And you, Adie…"Similarly, she rubbed Adie's ha

Austin left the tea room after saying that, leaving Renee there alone. She was both free and confined. She was free because no one was controlling her. She could leave at any time. However, she was also confined because the Baldwin family had controlled everyone except her. Austin would probably kill everyone if Renee did anything wrong. It would be more heartbreaking than killing her. She took a deep breath and stopped dwelling on it. She could only act accordingly. She went to The West Chamber, where she had once stayed, to see her children and others.The chamber came with a nice environment. Since it was spring, the plants were growing well in the warm weather. It was quite comfortable. Renee could hear her children talking loudly from afar."Abby, you have to stay here! I need to go away for a bit for something.""Adie, what are you trying to do? I want to go with you no matter where you go!""I'm going to run away to look for Mommy. If you go with me, I have to take

Renee could do nothing else but watch Sabre take Jovan away. "Don't worry. They can't do anything to me. I won't be worried since I'll be staying here. And I'll wait for your good news."Renee flexed her fingers and suddenly regretted everything. She knew Austin would not easily forgive them when Jovan insisted on going to the Baldwin residence with her. But at that moment, she was worried about Justin since he might be in grave danger. She could not accept it either because Jovan was too weak to soldier through any torture. She had no idea what to do if he failed to soldier through. She might never forgive herself."Grandpa Baldwin…" Renee took a deep breath and did not give up trying to beg Austin's mercy."You don't have to say too much," Austin sneered. "You'd better worry about yourself or your family. Did you forget that your brother and kids are still in my hands? Can you worry about too many people?" "Don't hurt them!" Renee almost lost her mind when she heard that.

"Mr. Hunt, please leave." Sabre kept a long face, his tone calm."I just came, but you made me leave. That's inappropriate!" Jovan looked at Sabre and refused to budge. He did not want to stay, but found Austin acting weird. He wondered if Austin wanted to use a more cruel means to torture Renee after driving him away. If he left, he would have escaped, but he could not imagine what Renee might face. Naturally, he refused to leave. "What else do you want?" Austin looked solemn and dangerous. He coldly added, "If you think you need to be punished, I'll grant your wish." He looked at Sabre, who quickly put Jovan under control."No, you got me wrong…!" Jovan did not expect Austin to turn hostile. He wanted to struggle free, but Sabre was one of Austin's rare confidantes and could fight well. He easily stopped Jovan from moving. Anxiety gripped Renee when she saw that. She immediately begged for Austin's mercy. "Grandpa Baldwin! Jovan is a crazy and childish man, like you
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2385
Renee's heart was well guarded. No one else could win her over except Stefan. Justin had tried hard and was once hopeful. But in the end, it was still futile. He ended up with endless humiliation. Hence, he learned from Renee and was on guard against others. He merely did not want to get hurt or feel disappointed."That's it. You can be the bold hero yourself."Justin swung off Jovan's hand and left."Damn! He's quite heartless too, just like Stefan!" Jovan was angry for no reason. He found it a pity since Justin had given Renee up, just like what Stefan had done. Those men claimed to love her but did not choose her firmly, and left at the most critical moment. After Justin was gone, the atmosphere in the room became more dangerous and stressful.Austin coldly stared at Renee and asked contemptuously, "My grandson is gone. Can you stop pretending?"It was hard to imagine such a scene. Austin once doted on Renee as if she were his granddaughter. But now, he regarded her as

"Oh, you're quite serious about it." Austin faked a smile, then addressed a subordinate standing beside him. "Since you insisted, I'll grant your wish." In a while, his subordinate came with a tray with dozens of needles in various shapes. Most of the needles were used for treatment. The needle would cause quite a lot of pain with only a slight jab. "Okay, let's stop joking. We're considered famous people. Stop using such a childish trick! It's embarrassing…" Jovan realized how serious the situation was. While teasing, he rebuked Austin's subordinate so the latter would remove the needles. However, the subordinate did not heed Jovan. He did not take Jovan seriously at all. Austin's subordinate politely extended his hand and coldly urged Renee, "Please go ahead, Ms. Everheart." "Okay." Renee flexed her fingers and took a deep breath. She swallowed and adjusted her mouth, ready herself to take a needle."Hey, moron! Are you going to sit there and watch?" Helpless, Jovan tried

Jovan cleared his throat and assumed his usual casual demeanor. "I lost my mind on the day of the engagement ceremony. I knocked Renee out and took her away. This incident has nothing to do with her. You guys can blame me. I should be the one to hang myself, too.""Jovan!" Renee glared at Jovan. "Don't take the blame for me. I won't thank you, either."Jovan turned and started arguing with Renee. "No, I'm not taking the blame for you. I was just telling the truth. I did knock you out and take you away that day. You didn't leave on your own!"He felt guilty toward Renee, especially when he saw her lying in bed and using an iron wire to cut her wrist so she could run away. It was a great shock to him.He realized he had nearly ruined her, body and soul. At that moment, he no longer wanted to compete for her. He felt that he might as well let her go and grant her wish. He just wanted her to be safe and happy, regardless of who she chose to be with.His greatest wish was to see her

Both Renee and Jovan finally arrived at the Baldwin residence under Sabre's escort.Austin was waiting in the tea room since he knew Renee was coming."I'm sorry, Grandpa Baldwin. I'm here to apologize to you." Sabre pushed them into the room.After entering the room, Renee realized that Justin was there too, sitting on Austin's left and pouring tea for Austin. Justin was no longer enthusiastic and close to Renee. Instead, he kept his head low and was busy. He did not even look at her, as if they did not know each other. "You want to apologize to me?" Austin sneered. He raised a cup of tea and sipped it. "Stop flattering me. Plus… You shouldn't be apologizing to me."Justin stopped what he was doing, but he was still unresponsive. He stared absent-mindedly ahead as if he were away from reality. He seemed like a different man. Renee had never seen this side of him, which filled her with sadness and guilt. She blamed herself for turning a carefree and bright youth into a gloo

"Cut the crap!" Sabre was a man who had undergone a lot of things and problems all year round. He abruptly gripped Jovan's chin and said coldly, "You can't keep your head for long. You'd better not waste your energy, and you should watch your tongue.""Well, there's something I should say." Jovan didn't resist as he grabbed the chance to touch Sabre's face. "What's your name, dude? Why are you doing this job at such a young age? How much did Austin pay you every month? I'll give you ten times your salary. Just betray him and work for me.""I'm going to kill you!" Sabre was always a serious man, and got furious because of Jovan's words. He was about to slap Jovan before Renee immediately stopped him."Don't do this, Sabre. Let's talk it out. He's the vice president of Hunt Enterprise, but you wanted to slap him. We should keep peace. Plus, he generally never watches his tongue, and he scolds his family more fiercely. Don't take him seriously." Renee tried her best to calm Sabre dow
