Renee didn't want to pressure Quinton to get married, but she could tell that he was lonely. He needed someone who could understand him and stay with him. The longer he stayed like this, the more he would regret it. The first half of his life had been torturous, and Renee didn't want to see him spend the rest of his life alone."It's nice to have a companion, but the problem is..." Quinton shook his head helplessly. "I'm mentally ill and flawed, so I'd better not burden others. It's fine if I enjoy the moonlight alone. I don't think it's sad." He had gotten used to being lonely, and had anticipated spending his life alone."How could you say that about yourself?" Renee frowned. "I think everyone is mentally sick one way or another, and sickness can be cured. You were living a gloomy life in the past, but you've left that behind now. Once you face the sunlight, you'll naturally become brighter. You're not mentally ill or flawed!" Renee hated Quinton's pessimism. His life was still lon

Renee could tell that Quinton had not forgotten about Joanne, and his feelings for her ran deep. That was why he refused to open up or get close to other women. Hence, Renee hoped that Quinton and Joanne could at least talk so they could let go of their past and start their new lives.Unfortunately, Quinton kept avoiding the subject. "Don't worry about my affairs, especially my love life. Just take care of yourself and get along well with Justin; that's what I really wish for." He had no intention to date anyone for now—he just wanted to restore his family's image and protect Renee well. He knew that he had a lot of trauma, and if he dated someone, he would subconsciously hurt that person."I'm not trying to force you to go on a date or make peace with Joanne. I just hope that you can let go of your past and open your heart to new things. Then, you can truly live your life." Renee sounded urgent as she sighed. "I feel like a doctor. I know the reason for your illness and watch you su

Gina had to have enough experience as a class teacher if she wanted to get a management position. One needed a rich resume to be the class teacher. Since Gina graduated from Coral Coast University, she was confident that the principal would appoint her as the class teacher. To her displeasure, the principal had picked Joanne instead, who was unqualified in all aspects."Ms. Garcia, it's going to be tiring receiving the new students today. What would you like to talk about during the parent-teacher meeting later?" After helping the students settle down, Gina came to the office and spoke to Joanne."I'll talk about my teaching methods," Joanne replied coolly. She had an innate aloofness, which was why she wasn't close to the other teachers there even though six months had passed. Additionally, all the teachers there shared Gina's thoughts in thinking Joanne was inferior and did not deserve to be working there."Gina, you don't know since you just came, but Ms. Garcia is awesome. She j

Gina looked at Joanne and blinked, then grinned coyly and said, "Don't be upset, Ms. Garcia… I was just joking. After all, it's rather odd that you were hired here despite your academic qualifications and experiences. I know for a fact that all teachers here are curious about it.""Can you accuse someone like that just because you're curious?" Hostility gleamed in Joanne's eyes. "If that's the case, can I assume that it's because of your looks that you became the deputy class teacher of the primary school at such a young age?" "How can you say that, Joanne? I graduated with a master's degree from Coral Coast University. I worked hard to get here!" Gina immediately stood up and said rudely, "I must have guessed right that you got into this school by relying on a man—you wouldn't be this upset otherwise!" "Well, you also overreacted, so I must have hit the nail on the head too," Joanne sneered.Gina's eyes widened in rage. "How dare you…"Ainsley Terrell, the teaching director, im

Gina looked at the laptop reluctantly. "But saying she has no academic qualifications or experience won't affect her much.""Well, maybe you can spice it up a little," Calista suggested slyly. "Let me give you an idea… Do you know why Joanne always wears long-sleeved shirts and long pants? It's 104 Fahrenheit now, but she still doesn't dare to show skin.""I don't know... Is she conservative?" "Of course not!" Calista peered outside, and when she saw that Joanne hadn't come back yet, she whispered to Gina, "I'm guessing her body is either really scarred or covered in tattoos. Think about it… No parent would want someone like that teaching their kids.""Is that true?" Gina swallowed and took a deep breath. "Thanks for the advice, Ms. Jude. I know what to do now."Joanne stayed in the washroom for a long time because her stomach was cramping. She thought it was because her period was coming soon, but when she checked her notes, that didn't seem to be the case. After thinking about

Joanne arrived at her class to hold a parent-teacher meeting with the new students' parents. The parents were very curious about the people who taught their children, especially the class teacher. They were very concerned about that.Joanne stood at the door for a while, taking a few deep breaths before striding into the class. "Hello, everyone, welcome to the first parent-teacher meeting for the third first grader class." Joanne was wearing a professional white shirt and pants, with her hair up in a ponytail and a pair of rimless glasses on. She looked elegant and proper, and the parents looked at her in admiration."Let me introduce myself—I'm the class teacher, and my name is Joanne Garcia. Although I'm not very experienced in teaching, I'm well-versed in various teaching methods. Now, I'll explain my plans for the class." Joanne smoothly redirected the topic, emphasizing her strengths. She inserted her USB drive into the computer to open the detailed presentation she had prepared
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1979
They felt that Joanne looked sophisticated and had good teaching methods, but Gina's outstanding academic qualifications were hard to beat. They felt Joanne's qualifications had to be better since she was the class teacher."Honestly, I don't really have any academic qualifications, and I've only been teaching for less than six months," Joanne confessed, knowing the parents wouldn't let her off the hook."What? No academic qualifications and you've only been teaching for six months?" The parents were shocked and furious, and wanted to change the class teacher. At that moment, words started appearing on Joanne's presentation slides.[Here's a gentle reminder—Joanne has never been to college. Her life is troubled and messy, and she's hiding something on her body… That's why she always wears long-sleeved shirts and long pants!]"What's happening? Is it true? The class teacher of our kids has never been to college?""What is she hiding? No wonder she put on a shirt with long sleeves o
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1980
"Let me go!" Joanne didn't like people touching her, and tried to shake Gina off. Her reaction only made the parents more suspicious, and they wondered if the accusations were true. "We just asked you to roll up your sleeves. What's so difficult about that?""There must be something wrong. We can't let her go. Where's the principal… He has to come here and explain this.""I think we should just tear off her clothes and see if she really has a disease." Some parents even ran to the door to block Joanne from leaving."Yeah, Ms. Garcia. What are you afraid of? We just asked you to roll up your sleeves; it won't hurt you." Gina steadied herself and grabbed Joanne's arms again, then roughly pulled the sleeves of Joanne's shirt, tearing them off. The people there gasped in horror when they saw Joanne's skin."What's wrong with her?""How horrible… Who is she? What did she go through?"Joanne's exposed arms were full of scars and marks. There were burn marks, scratches, and discolor

"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

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
