The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2130
"No, there's nothing fishy. You can't forget about him. You're just lying to yourself!" Leia said. She had hit the nail on the head, pointing out Renee's exact issue.However, Liam didn't elaborate on that topic. He looked at Renee, feeling rather sorry for her. "You guys went through a lot just to visit me. Get some good rest. If Amber's marrying Mateo, I'm afraid I have a tough battle to fight." Liam knew Benjamin well. He had been an ordinary man who worked hard to gain his current power and status. Aside from his wisdom and his luck, he was vicious. The moment he thought that Amber had let Liam go, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Liam to prevent any trouble. Liam didn't mind if he survived it or not. However, he would never easily admit defeat if it might burden Renee and Leia."Is he that scary?" Leia asked.She was a naive simpleton from the upper elite circle, ignorant of life's hardships, with romance being the only exception. She couldn't imagine how terrible people could

Renee felt guilty; she knew it must be boring for Leia to take care of her.That, and she wanted to roughly familiarize herself with the fort. If she fell out with Benjamin, she could prepare beforehand and come up with possible countermeasures. As Renee and Leia exited the room, they realized how large the fort was. Most of the houses there were cottages, simple and primitive. It was an independent tribe removed from the civilized modern world. Renee noticed professional bodyguards doing their rounds in the fort every few distances. They resembled armed soldiers, with rifles and knives on them, serving Benjamin the tyrant. The rumors about The Triangle were real. Government superiors couldn't meddle in the fort's affairs. Those who held the real power were people like Benjamin, who was a local tyrant with a personal militia. Based on the current situation, it would be a piece of cake for Benjamin to kill the three of them if he so wished. No wonder Liam underwent such a vas

"Little boy, where are you taking me to?" Leia wasn't on guard with the child; she took his hand without hesitation and walked forward."Lei, don't go!" Renee cautioned. She looked around carefully, worried, and remained standing at the same spot."It's fine, Ren. He's just a child. I'm sure he finds us interesting since we're new here. He wants to take us to some fun place. I'll be right back after I check it out," Leia said casually. At that, Renee could only stand where she was and wait. That pregnant woman and the children around her kept staring at her strangely. At the same time, they also kept gesticulating and grinning, making her uneasy. After a while, Renee heard Leia's excited voice. "Ren, come here! There's something nice!"Renee, uneasy staying where she was and being stared at by the others, felt that it might be better if she checked out what Leia was doing. At the very least, it would alleviate her worries. She followed the sound and walked over. Leia wasn't

Leia grinned, optimistic.Finally, she got the yellow durian and screamed at Renee excitedly. "Ren, I got it! Get away, it might fall on you." "Uh, what are you doing?" Renee asked."I'm throwing it down, duh! I can't keep carrying it since there are so many thorns on it!""Didn't you just pick it? That's not very nice, right?" "What's wrong? We'll pay them later. This orchard should belong to the Jenkinses. I'll make my brother pay for it. Given his status among the Jenkinses, I think it's fine for us to take the durian.""Okay, be careful," Renee said, finding found Leia's words reasonable. Leia was the playful sort who wouldn't stop even if she couldn't get the durian. Renee stepped aside to let her enjoy her fun.The durian dropped from a height of more than sixty feet. Luckily, it just cracked a little when it fell on the ground and didn't get ruined. "Okay, you got the durian. Can you get down now?" Renee said, trying to coax Leia to get down from the tree the way sh

"No!" Renee's heart skipped a beat. She pounced on the boy without hesitation. The laws at The Triangle were imperfect, with various forces trying to grab power from each other. Many places were full of soldiers and armed civilians. Child soldiers were common as well. The gun in the boy's hand was most probably authentic. When Renee saw him aim the gun at Leia, who was on the top of the tree, she couldn't take the risk. The boy suddenly started crying.Renee exerted herself when she pounced on the boy, pushing him to the ground roughly. Coincidentally, there was a rock there. It injured the boy's forehead, which started bleeding. "What are you doing?! Why did you take out a gun? Do you know what'll happen if you fired that?" Renee rebuked him solemnly, ignoring his bleeding forehead. She snatched his gun."Thieves! Robbers! I'm going to shoot and kill you!" the boy cried profusely. His voice seemed to echo in the whole fort as he kicked Renee and tried to beat her up. He wa

"Thanks, I can finally get down. You're pretty reasonable. I guess you guys aren't savages after all!" Leia said as she got down. The moment she reached the ground, she had yet to say anything to Renee when Mateo immediately instructed, "Get them!"The next second, the guards raised their guns and aimed them at Renee and Leia. Both were confused."How dare you harm Luneth's child! Master won't let you off the hook!" Mateo snarled icily, acting as if he didn't know Renee and Leia.Anyway, he had no relation with them. He only had a grudge against them.Renee had assumed Mateo would have some respect for them, but she had underestimated human nature. "What's going on? Why did you tie us up?" Leia demanded. Under such circumstances, Renee and Leia couldn't resist and were easily tied up."It's fine. I guess he wants to keep us as hostages. He won't do anything to us," Renee said calmly, trying to pacify Leia. Mateo waved, then shouted cruelly, "Take them away!" Renee and L

Mateo brought Leia and Renee to a cell and locked them there."Just you wait! This isn't over. I'll get justice for Luneth, but I need to ask Master how you two should be punished," he threatened.However, he was slightly more polite before he left. "You'll be staying here for a while, but don't worry. I won't starve you. Just tell the guards if you need anything." Leia rolled her eyes. "Oh, so I need to thank you, don't I?""I'm sorry to have upset you." Mateo didn't say much. He nodded and left the cell.That cell looked better than an ordinary cell—it came with a bed, table, chair, stool, and small bathroom. It resembled a small hotel room. "What should we do, Ren? Should we figure out how to run away?" Leia sounded anxious. She looked around and tried to find a shovel to dig a hole in the ground. "I don't know, either. Just wait. Treat this as a trip. Anyway, I'll sleep first," Renee said indifferently, looking calm. She lay sideways on the bed. Leia walked to the bed
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2137
"I don't know. Why don't you ask the guards to get us some fried chicken and French fries? Didn't Mateo say that we can ask the guards for food?" Renee said.Leia's anxiety eased as she relaxed. She turned around and got out of bed, then gestured at the guard and ordered quite a lot of food. Meanwhile, Liam accompanied Benjamin to West River in the morning for a negotiation that yielded a good result. Benjamin's attitude had improved. He didn't demand an explanation from Liam about the affairs between Liam and Amber, and didn't ask about Renee or Leia either. Liam was delighted. He carried the unique desserts he had bought at the local market for Renee and Leia to enjoy. Upon arrival, he found that they were not in the room. "Weird. Where did they go?" Liam looked around, but found no sign of Renee and Leia. He casually asked a servant, but the servant stammered and insisted on not knowing anything. Anxious, Liam kept looking for them in the fort. Coincidentally, he ran into

"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

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

The party started officially at night. It was a small party, and only some close relatives of the Baldwin family attended.Austin took the main seat while his son and daughter-in-law sat in the secondary seats. Justin and the others sat accordingly.After dressing herself up, Renee attended the party in simple clothes. She looked like a young lady from a great family. Adie, Abby, and Quinton did not attend the party to avoid unnecessary disputes. Renee was the only one who attended the party. When she reached the hall, the people had already taken their seats. They sized her up maliciously and studied her as if they wanted to make her pay a heavy price."Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I got here late." Renee took a deep breath and naturally greeted everyone. She appeared composed, but she knew she was rather frightened. She never panicked when she faced such a scene alone in the past. She could easily handle it because Justin would always take her side no matter what happened.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2393
Quinton was fine even if Renee wasn't that happy. But she must lead a steady life and live beyond a hundred years old. "Quinton, I know I owed the Baldwin family a lot, even if you didn't tell me. I won't be back if not for the sake of their kindness."Renee did not hide or lie even if Justin was around. She merely wanted Justin to hold no hope in her. "How could you be this straightforward?" Quinton had purposely brought Justin along because he wanted to bring Justin and Renee together. He felt that they could still be together since things weren't that hopeless. But the disappointing Renee ruined all possibilities easily. Kindness didn't exist between a romantic couple."It's fine." Justin looked indifferent before he snorted. "I'm glad she made things clear. It's better than being ambiguous.""I'm sorry." Renee looked at Justin. Although she had made herself clear, her guilt did not diminish. She immediately expressed her guilt and helplessness since Justin did not igno
