The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 324
Renee’s words made Francine hesitate, and she sighed. “You’re right. As important as you are, my son is the priority at the end of the day. I can’t cause trouble for him!”“Finally you’re thinking straight!” Renee let out a sigh of relief and pointed at the hole. “Go now.”Francine held Renee’s hand and said seriously, “Let’s go together. I’m not the kind of person that'll put others in danger. I can’t let you stay here!”“I’m fine here. It’s a lot better than being in the Hunts, to be honest. They won’t hurt me, but I can’t say the same if I ran away with you.”Francine's eyes softened in regret when she heard Renee’s words. “The Hunts mistreated you in the past, and for that… I apologize. I wasn't mean to you earlier because I hated you. It's just that I thought you and Stefan wouldn't be happy together since you didn't have feelings for each other, so I wanted you to leave him… I’m not actually an evil person.“I promise I won’t be mean to you anymore. I won’t push you to get p

Renee thought for a while before she replied, “Your house is very beautiful, so I decided to take a stroll and look around. But during my stroll, I had to pee, so…” To avoid Justin’s suspicion, she had to sacrifice her image.“Oh, I see…” Justin smirked and said, “I should’ve come earlier then.”“You pervert!” Renee felt guilty for lying to him, so she tried to push the blame on him. “If you keep this up, I’ll go home tomorrow and stop this whole act.”“I’m sorry, my bad. I won’t joke around anymore. Why are you dressed like a servant, though? And your makeup looks weird too…” Justin gave her an odd look.“What do you mean by that? This is how I look with a bare face. Do you find me ugly? And I got this shirt from the closet, it looks nice, so I wore it. Are you trying to say that I look like a servant?”“No. I…” Justin was lost for words.“There’s no need to explain. I’m tired, so I want to rest now!” Renee exclaimed and left immediately.Justin watched as she gradually disappe

Renee's instincts told her it was from Stefan since the screen showed that the call was from Beach City. She wanted to ignore it at first, but her phone wouldn't stop ringing.Sophia looked at her fondly and gestured for her to pick it up. Renee did not want to make her suspicious, so she pretended to be calm and answered the call."So, you finally decided to answer the phone!" Stefan's icy voice from the other end of the phone made her shiver. It brought back flashes of her nightmare earlier, but she played dumb and said, "What? An insurance company? I'm sorry, but I don't need insurance. Goodbye!""Renee, don't you dare hang up. You-"Stefan's threat was promptly cut off as she ended the call."Hmm, my phone number must've been leaked. I've been receiving tons of calls from these kinds of companies. It's so annoying!" Renee calmly explained to Sophia while subtly blocking the number.However, another number called soon after, and then another. Every time Renee blocked one num

"Everyone's here now. Ren has slept enough, so let's dig in." Sophia seated Renee at the table and said cheerfully."Good morning, Grandpa Austin, Uncle Jack, and Justin." Renee greeted them politely and smiled broadly at them."Did you sleep well last night?" Austin looked at Renee fondly. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her."I slept very well last night. Thank you for your concern." Renee nodded slowly. She was very experienced in all this, since this was how she survived in the Hunt family for four years. She had emerged unharmed, thanks to all the masks she wore."Really?" Justin suppressed his laughter and asked, "Weren't you walking around in the courtyard in the middle of the night? You even energetically fixed a hole in the wall! I thought you couldn't sleep because you weren't used to the environment."Renee glared at Justin, fighting the urge to reach over and choke him. 'Damn that troublemaker! He should know who I was trying to help and why I was forced t

"What's all this gibberish? Talk properly!" Sophia said sternly.The maid took a deep breath and explained, "There was a new maid last night wearing a uniform of a better quality than ours. She said that she was sent over to keep an eye on Francine, so I brought her to the room and left her there alone… I didn’t expect the new maid and Francine to disappear like that! So the person who helped Francine escape must be her!""How dare she?!" Austin was fuming, feeling like the authority of the Baldwin family had been challenged. He said furiously, "Who is that reckless person? How dare she sneak into the Baldwin mansion and do this right under my nose?! She really does not take us seriously! Start an investigation immediately, and when you find her, break her limbs right away. She has to know that the Baldwins cannot be messed with!" Jack nodded and said to the head of the soldiers stationed around them, "What are you waiting for? Send a team to barricade the whole place and thoroughl

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sophia glared at him. Given the old man's temper, he would mercilessly impose a harsh punishment on anyone who defied his orders. Was Justin asking for death?Justin replied nonchalantly, "I'm not lying, it was really me who let her go. Think about it—the password is so complicated that only the members of the Baldwins would know it. Ren is just an innocent girl. Even if she wanted to, she'd never be able to figure out the password!" Justin purposely looked at Renee with a faint smile."Haha!" Renee avoided their eyes and laughed awkwardly. She was very grateful to Justin for taking the blame, but he was so cheeky that she wanted to punch him!Justin looked around at his family and explained, "I just think that since we've already snatched Stefan Hunt's wife, it would be overkill to lock his mother up too. We know the power of the Hunts, so we can't just provoke them because we have an army. The Hunts are very wealthy—if we drive them into a co
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 330
Renee's unusual reaction stunned everyone in the room, especially Justin. He did not expect that she would react that way at all."Are you sure about having the two families go to war?" He raised his eyebrows and asked mischievously. "Of course!" Renee continued enthusiastically. "My grandfather always hoped that one day I could follow in his footsteps and lead an army into battle myself. If the Baldwin and Hunt families are bound to fight, whether it's in business or war, I want to be the one to lead! Anyway, I also have a deep grudge against the Hunts, and I hate Stefan so much that I long for a life-and-death duel with him!""Fantastic! You really are something, young lady." Austin stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "You are indeed the granddaughter of General Everheart—so confident and strong-willed. You are much better than my unworthy grandson! Justin, you should learn from Ren. If you always give in, how can you protect her in the future? Maybe she'll have to protect yo
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 331
Austin was fired up when he heard this and said, "That's right! We have to worship the God of War. Consider it our pledge of allegiance. Let's get to the helicopters, we shall leave at once!""Yes! Let's go right now!" Renee waved her arms and cheered.Inwardly, she finally felt relieved. As expected, Austin was a very impulsive man, even to the point of narcissism. He had actually believed her completely when she asked him to go and worship the God of War.This time, the Baldwin family and Stefan would not meet. Later, she could just find a random reason to stop the two families from fighting. It was perfect!Renee smiled lightly and thought about her plan happily. She really was a genius who could adapt to any situation!At that moment, the butler entered the room with a concerned look on his face. "General Baldwin, sorry to interrupt, but there seems to be someone… a big shot outside asking to meet you!"Austin said coldly, "Don't be such a coward. Who is this big shot you're

"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 Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2398
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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2396
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

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
