The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1698
"Thank you." Renee breathed a sigh of relief and stood up straight using the man's support.The man was silent as if he was staring at her for a long time. After that, he whispered to her, "Do you like Miss Band?" "Yeah!" Renee adjusted her sunglasses and pretended to be calm. "Miss Band is my rock enlightenment band—I fell in love with rock because of them. To be honest, I learned from them and came up with a band myself!""I know." The man explained calmly, "I recognized you, and I'm your fan.""Really?" Renee was surprised. It had been a while since she had been in a band. Even if it was very popular back then, it was so long ago that people had probably forgotten about it. But somehow, Renee had bumped into a fan of hers."I know all your band's songs, and I can sing them all." "Well... that's quite unusual!" Renee pushed her hair behind her ear awkwardly. Back then, she had been confident and direct, but after going through so much, she'd become humble. When she was in a b

"You can't reach her? How come?" Renee held out her hand. "Give me my phone. Let me call her."However, the man refused to do so.At that moment, Renee knew that something was wrong. "Who... are you?" She asked the man coldly. "I thought you could tell from my voice...""Are you... Jovan?" Renee asked tentatively. At first, she'd found his voice familiar, but the place was very noisy, and she felt like someone as successful as Jovan wouldn't come to a pub to watch a performance.. At that moment, a lively melody came from the stage downstairs. Jovan chuckled softly. "Let's listen to the song. The music is nice, so let's not ruin the moment.""So it is you." Once Renee confirmed that it was Jovan, some of her anxiety faded. She had expected him to come find her sooner or later, and knew what to do if he did. Truthfully, she'd thought they would meet sooner, but fortunately, they had met in a nice place. She hoped they could remain on good terms. Jovan was absorbed in the mus

Renee was speechless. Of course she was aware of Jovan's feelings for her, but after everything that had happened, she didn't want to talk about it. "If I could, I'd rather have you instead. Someone else can have that lousy Hunt Enterprise!" Jovan complained as he sulkily sipped his wine, acting like a child in front of Renee. Renee's fingers tapped the table along to Miss Band's music, and she looked relaxed. Calmly, she said, "Jovan, I did owe you in the past, but I don't owe you anything now. What you want is none of my business. If you consider me a friend, please let me go back to my friend." She was no fool—she knew that her fate was in Jovan's hands today, but she still hoped that Jovan could be rational and let her go..."Yes, you don't owe it to me, but I owe it to you. Your eyes are as perfect as gemstones, and I feel guilty every day that I use them. Do you think I can pretend to be ignorant and keep on shamelessly using them?" Jovan clenched his fists and blinked back

Jovan pulled Renee into his arms."You..." Renee started to struggle, but suddenly, a strong smell hit her nose. She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, she blacked out.-When Renee woke up, she found herself lying in a large bed. She instantly realized that she was at Jovan's manor in the suburbs away from the city. When she had surgery to donate her eyes to Jovan, she had laid in the same bed."You're awake?" Jovan's voice came from above her, gentle and passionate. A chill crept up Renee's spine, and she sat up, leaning back against the head of the bed. "Why did you bring me here? Don't tell me you want to force me to fall in love with you; it doesn't suit you, Jovan.""You still can make jokes. It seems like you're in good spirits." Jovan smiled and walked to the wine cabinet. He poured himself a glass of wine and went to sit on the sofa near the bed, leisurely crossing his legs. Slowly, he said, "Forcing you to love me, hmm? Well, I can certainl

Renee figured that Jovan had lost his mind, so she decided not to waste her time talking to him. She accepted her situation since she couldn't do anything about it.Jovan was surprised at the sudden change in her attitude. Flattered, he fawned over Renee every day diligently.On a bright afternoon, Jovan insisted on listening to some CDs with Renee.Helpless, Renee chose to listen to the songs with him. Yes, Jovan was crazy, but his taste in music was as good as hers. He liked bands that she liked, like Oasis, Keane, and Coldplay. If Renee and Jovan only chatted about music, the atmosphere would be good, and they could talk for the whole afternoon."Listen to this song. It's called Hey Jude, and it's a classic by The Beatles..." Jovan said eagerly as he placed a CD in an old-fashioned record player. The Beatles had been formed in 1960 and was considered the pioneer of rock music. Most of their songs had become hits, including Hey Jude, which was their most popular song. The nice

The sun was setting, and sunlight shone on Renee's face as she tilted her head towards it. "You want to know?" "Of course." Jovan looked serious. "I want to know everything about you, including your sincere thoughts." He knew that Renee didn't like him, at least not yet, but they did get on well sometimes. The thought of it gave him hope. "It's because I want to buy time for Stefan," Renee answered honestly without any hesitation.Jovan abruptly stopped peeling the grape in his hand, his heart aching."If you're spending time with me, you won't have the time to go after him. Then, he'll have the chance to make a counterattack." Renee tried to be as cruel and hurtful as possible."Okay, I know." Jovan gave himself a second to be sad before he reverted to his shameless self. "I admit that I didn't have the time to manage the company or try to look into Stefan's affairs. It's like what they said in the ancient poems: "the king ignores his work because of his romance." Nothing else
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1704
Almost a week passed. Renee longed for Stefan day and night, but he still didn't come. Meanwhile, Jovan enjoyed her misfortune and teased her, "What should you do? Your hero hasn't come to your rescue... You'd better spend the rest of your life with me. I won't mistreat you!" He shamelessly tried to get close to Renee, but Renee kicked him away. "Do you have to be like this every day?""Wasn't I right though?" Jovan sneered. "It's fine if it's a day or two, but it's already been two weeks, and he's nowhere to be seen. He's either dead, or he doesn't care about you.""Shut up!" Renee tried to punch Jovan, but Jovan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms instead. "I know you're sad. To be honest, I'm sad too—I didn't expect that Stefan would be such a worthless piece of trash. He's too timid, and I defeated him easily!" "Let go of me!" Renee struggled in his grip, a look of disgust on her face. Jovan's embrace was more fervent and suffocating than Stefan's. It was like h
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1705
Renee spoke calmly, perfectly aware that her words would hurt Jovan.Jovan's lips twitched slightly, and his fingernails dug into his skin in anger. It had only been two weeks, and Renee had spent every day of them hurting him. However, he wasn't tired of it… Maybe he was going crazy."I don't get it. I'm a useless person, and I treat you badly. Why do you keep pestering me?" Renee looked helpless as she tried to persuade him, "You're now the boss of Hunt Enterprise, which makes you very rich. You can have any woman you want, so why are you wasting your time with me and making everyone unhappy?""Yeah, I don't know why either." Jovan smiled bitterly and stared at Renee. "So, let me pester you for a little longer. Maybe I'll get bored one day and let you go, right?"Renee paused and sighed. "Good point. I can't argue with that." She knew that Jovan was a stubborn man, and she wouldn't be able to change his mind. Besides, he might only give up if he got bored or disgusted. Inspired b

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

The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price

After a while, a servant quickly came back with a bottle of wine tied with a piece of red cloth. "Sir, Madam, this bottle of white wine was brewed more than ten years ago. It comes with a rich taste and is strong. I'm sure it's suitable for Ms. Everheart to toast to everyone as a form of apology.""That's good. That's what I want." Rose accepted the heavy bottle of wine. Although it was yet to be unscrewed, she could smell its pungent scent. "I won't easily let anyone drink this. Plus… Believe it or not, a glass of this wine can knock out anyone here." Rose carried the bottle of wine and walked around the table. Finally, she stopped in front of Renee. "I'm letting a sinner like you enjoy such a great thing today. You must drink all of it. You can't waste it.""Huh? Does she have to drink it all? I'm afraid she'll vomit from drinking.""People will lose themselves with only three to five glasses of this wine. If they drink half of it, they might get alcohol poisoning no matter
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2395
If any Baldwin demanded an explanation from Renee, she would not resent them."Fine, I won't go easy on you since you said so." Rose laughed recklessly, looking malicious. Everyone knew Rose was fierce and malicious. But none of them said anything, including Justin. They behaved like onlookers and wanted to see how Rose would punish Renee. "Please go ahead." Renee nodded and sounded very calm. "Don't worry. Regardless, you were the only woman my dear grandnephew had loved and wanted to marry. So, I won't be harsh on you. If not, he won't forgive me." At that point, Rose purposely paused and wanted to see how Justin would react.However, Justin merely sat there indifferently and had no intention to get Renee out of the predicament. Hence, Rose became bolder. "Well, let's do this. You've wronged not only Justin but everyone in my family. Since you're here to apologize, you should toast to all of us. Then, we can forget about this."After that, Rose turned to Austin and asked
