Chapter 1945

Penulis: Mizuki Sei
"It's my honor, Ms. Everheart." Stefan was expressionless as he shook Renee's hand, equally formal.

Everyone was speechless. It was so obvious they were pretending to be unaffected.

Justin's heart clenched when he saw them holding hands, but he forced a wide smile onto his face. He walked over and held Renee's shoulders as he said to her soothingly, "Relax, it's just a game. I'll protect you later."

Renee seemed to realize something and immediately let go of Stefan's hand. She looked up at Justin and smiled sweetly, saying in an unusually coy voice. "You promise? I'll hide behind you later, okay?"

Justin patted his chest. "Of course!"

"Hmph!" Stefan snorted in disdain, making the atmosphere even more awkward. Leia and Xavier looked at each other and subconsciously took a step back. It really was a battlefield!

Jeffrey was the only one who didn't understand what was going on. He stood in the middle of the three of them eagerly and said, "Renee, it's my first time doing an escape

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 1946

    The attendant brought them to an abandoned building. It looked like a hospital with six floors."Players, you'll start your adventure here. I'll give each of you a walkie-talkie and handbook, and you can clear the levels based on the clues you find." The attendant passed them the items, then continued, "The handbooks include the background of the story and the things you need to pay attention to. Enjoy yourselves!" The attendant waved and left. "It's living up to its name as the top escape room in Beach City. This building seems so real and gloomy. I feel like someone must have died here!" Leia looked up at the tall and decaying hospital as she swallowed nervously, goosebumps prickling her skin. "It's said that the shop owner purposely bought an abandoned hospital to create this theme. This hospital was built one thousand years ago. In the past, many people came here for treatment, but all of them would die a mysterious death. This place is said to be haunted!" Justin flipped thro

    When the others saw that, they walked into the hospital one by one. Stefan, however, stood at the door, observing his surroundings vigilantly."Stefan, why are you still standing there? You're the last to go in." Xavier waved at Stefan and said teasingly, "You scolded me just now, but how come you're so timid now? Don't be scared. Look at how brave Renee is—she was the first to go in. You just need to hide behind her and let her protect you."Stefan glared at Xavier and said coldly, "You all go ahead and look for clues. I'll bring up the rear." Although it was a childish game, he would always take note of his surroundings. If all of them went into the hospital, they might be doomed if there was a trap inside the hospital or if there were other clues that were not in the lobby."What clues should we be looking for?" Jeffrey asked naively, "Should we be looking for a key or treasure? I don't see any treasure here." "We're here to find treasure. Look around and see if you can find an

    "I got a strange disease, and the doctors and nurses had no idea what it was. Eventually, I died in the hospital, but my family insisted that I didn't die because of the disease. They claimed that the hospital staff had harmed and killed me, so they refused to take my body away from the hospital, insistent on finding out the truth… However, something happened, and my soul became trapped in the hospital. Now, I wander the hospital every night. Please help me find the murderer and take me away. Please help my soul rest in peace." Leia finished reading the background story, and she took a deep breath, her heart pounding. "Did this place make all that up, or did it really happen? It's so creepy!""Find the murderer and help the soul rest in peace," Justin summarized and snapped his fingers. "That's our objective. Let's get going!" As a programming genius, his critical thinking skills were top-notch. He loved mysteries and solving puzzles, so he was looking forward to this. They stood in

    It was a blessing in disguise. Xavier rarely had the chance to play the protective boyfriend back then, so he was overjoyed that he could now."Renee, I... I'm feeling scared!" Jeffrey leaned against Renee, looking helpless. "I used to be afraid of nets. We used them to fish, but now... we're trapped in one! I'm sure we'll be chopped into little pieces like those fish!""Of course that won't happen. You're so cute!" Renee wasn't scared, she just found the net uncomfortable. She tried to pat Jeffrey's hand through the net. "Jeffrey, you're a son of the sea. You've been through a lot and survived it, so don't be scared!""A son of the sea? Is that like the king of the sea? Does that mean he's a playboy who has plenty of fish in his sea?" Justin growled. He was also squeezed in with Jeffrey, and he couldn't take the way he always begged for Renee's protection. It made Renee protective of him, and then Justin couldn't be protective of Renee..."The king of the sea?" Jeffrey looked happ

    "No, I'm Jayla's guardian!" The dark figure boomed, the chainsaw roaring in his hands. It felt like the god of death was approaching them. "Everyone who enters this hospital wants to harm Jayla. All of you should be punished!""Ah!" Everyone squeezed together anxiously, trying to get away from the intruder.Even Xavier was terrified at this point. "What should we do? We're trapped! If we wait any longer, he's going to cut us up!""There has to be a way to resolve this," Renee mumbled thoughtfully. She and Renee were both calm as they examined the net, trying to find a way to escape."Do we need to use the iron hook to cut the net open?" Renee stared at the iron hook, feeling like there had to be a use for it."I don't think so. The net is too thick, so the iron hook won't be able to cut it open," Justin disagreed."Not necessarily." Renee kept studying the net and said carefully, "The net is symmetrical, and the iron hook is sharp and thin. If we cut the net according to the line

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 1951

    Leia complained, "Ren, I get that you're in love with the iron hook, but we have to get out of here." Renee's attention had been fixed on that iron hook all night."Iron hook..." The dark figure stopped, his voice shaky as he mumbled, "My Jayla died miserably. I've got to kill you... I've got to kill all of you!" Seemingly triggered by the mention of the iron hook, the figure held up the chainsaw and rushed towards them. He roared at them, "Give me the iron hook! Give it to me now, or I'll cut you with my chainsaw!""Why do you need it?" Leia swallowed, about to hand the hook to him."No, don't give it to him!" Renee snatched it from Leia and hid it behind her. "Since he insists on having this, it must be important. Maybe it's the key to clearing the levels. We can't give it to him." "But he'll kill us if we don't give it to him!" "Let's think of something. There has to be another way!""There's no other way. If we keep thinking about it and not doing anything, we'll be cut int

    "Let's go!" Xavier yanked Leia and said seriously, "The probability of us beating this is higher if we separate. Once we've gotten enough clues, we can regroup and figure it out.""You're right." Leia agreed after thinking about it. All of them quickly ran off, with Xavier and Leia going upstairs while Justin and Jeffrey went downstairs. Renee was left in the registration lobby with the dark figure. The figure chuckled maliciously. "What a pathetic display of human nature! All your friends just left you and ran away.""What's pathetic about it? We're just working in different groups for now. Each of us has our own strengths." Renee tried to figure out how to escape, but the figure was always watching her and blocking her path. She figured the escape room management was paying him well. "You're too naive. I'll teach you the cruelty of this world today…" The dark figure continued, "You have two choices—complete my task and leave, or give the iron hook to me and leave. Pick one.""

    "For example, I can fight you one-on-one. If I win, I'll get to leave. What do you think?" Renee asked seriously. It had been her plan from the beginning since she was a professional fighter, having once been the top assassin."No, we can't do that!" The lips of the dark figure twitched in annoyance. "The first rule in the handbook is that you can't beat up the actors. If you do, you'll be disqualified.""Fine!" Renee nodded. After some contemplation, she said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll do the task. How should we hug? Hurry up, I need to keep playing." She found the game rather interesting and didn't want to be disqualified so fast. She couldn't give up the iron hook either, so she had to make some sacrifices and complete the task. After all, it was just a hug. "Okay, you promised." The dark figure sounded satisfied with Renee's choice. He laughed wildly, then threw off his black robe and giant hat. Renee's eyes widened in horror, and she felt nauseous as she stumbled back. "Ugh, w

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    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
