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

Stefan stood in front of everyone and replied slowly and firmly, "I'm here to settle our remarriage, of course."He stepped closer to Renee and pulled her into his arms, then smiled at her. "Darling, you're so disobedient. You ran off with another man, and that's not very nice.""Dar…ling?" Renee met his eyes in bewilderment.'Even if he is acting, he doesn't have to go overboard like this, right?'When she thought about her nightmare last night, the only thing playing in her mind was that Stefan was going to murder her.By this time, the Baldwin family was staring at Stefan like they were a pack of starving wolves and he a juicy steak, but they did not dare to act impulsively because of Stefan's strong aura. Austin even took out the revolver he carried with him and placed it on the table, saying sternly, "It seems like the offspring of the Hunt family is rather daring—he actually came all the way here to snatch something of ours. I heard that you're the only heir left, boy. If

Austin knitted his eyebrows and was immersed in his thoughts for a long time. Then, he fixed his fierce wolf-like eyes on Renee. "So, what you're saying is… you've been using Justin and us this whole time, and you were acting from the very beginning to deceive the Baldwins?" Renee inhaled deeply and nodded guiltily. "I'm very sorry. I was wrong.""Don't-!" Justin wanted to stop her but it was too late. He hit his forehead on the table and groaned. "She can't be saved. Renee, you idiot! It's not worth it!"It was too foolish for her to risk her life for this cheater!Justin knew Austin very well—the old man detested lies and was very stubborn. Once he lost his temper, he could even kill others. How would this end now?"Well, isn't that just great?" Austin had obviously lost control of his emotions. He pointed his revolver at Renee and said icily, "I like you and admire you very much. I would have even used all my resources to nurture you because you are Maurice's granddaughter, bu

Before Renee could finish, Stefan gripped her wrist firmly. "She does not need to make a choice—she's coming with me."As soon as he said that, he turned around and walked away, pulling Renee along."How dare you!" Austin lost his patience and instantly aimed his revolver at Stefan's head. "You're asking for death, you impertinent brat!"The guards around them also aimed their weapons at Stefan. As soon as the old man gave the order, the two of them would be shot to death!Renee panicked and struggled to get her hand free. "Let go of me, Stefan. There's nothing wrong with giving in sometimes! You may want to die, but I don't!"Stefan snorted coldly. "I, Stefan, am not so weak that I need a woman to save my life."Renee was speechless. 'This stubborn man… How many times have I saved you? Stop acting like you're the hero here!'Stefan turned around and looked at Austin with a smirk. "Mr. Baldwin, you can shoot me if you'd like, but the second you do, your entire army will turn int

Renee tidied herself up quickly, wanting to leave. "Oh, right. I released your mother last night, so she should be safe by now. Why don't you try to contact her to see if she's okay?""There is no need for that." Stefan, no longer exuding his usual cold and intense aura, looked very relaxed. He took off his jacket and threw it onto the chaise lounge casually, leaving only a white shirt partially covering his perfect muscular body.Renee's heart fluttered seeing this, and she gulped subconsciously.The man then took off his valuable diamond watch and put it on the table. He propped his long arm on the edge of the table, and said lightly, "My mother arrived in Beach City last night, and should be having afternoon tea with her friend now.""She arrived last night?" Renee was confused. "Then why did you go to the Baldwin residence so early in the morning?"Stefan looked up and met her gaze, the corner of his lips curving into a playful smirk. "What do you think?""I…" She bit her lip
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 336
Stefan instinctively reached to touch Renee's cheek, but stopped himself. He was usually a man of few words, but surprisingly, he was laying his cards on the table for her. "It's true. Think about it carefully; I'll come and ask for your answer early tomorrow morning." Renee clenched her fists slightly, surprising him when she just nodded obediently. "Okay." She would consider it for the sake of the two babies in her belly, as long as he sincerely wanted to start over with her. After he left, she stood in front of the huge French window and looked down at the city quietly, seriously thinking about her future. 'Should I stick through with my plan of making a fortune and reviving my family with the two kids? Or, should I go back to my past life and live under the protection of the Hunts? Do I really want to be a housewife whose life revolves around her husband and kids? It seems like both choices have their pros and cons, and there'll be regrets regardless.' As she was ponderin

"Can't you tell? Although Stefan asked me to move out of Hunt Villa, he gave me such a big castle. He removed the rose garden I planted in Hunt Villa, but he gave me this larger and more valuable one instead..." Briar stared at the rose in her hand and said to Renee smugly, "All these rose seedlings were frozen and airlifted from Bulgal. A seedling costs tens of thousands, and this garden is more than a hundred square feet. I've got countless roses, which shows Stefan's endless love for me!" Renee glanced at the endless rose garden. It was indeed stunning. "All that I can say is that the Hunts are indeed rich." Inwardly, she had to admit that this did affect her. 'Of course, I'd be jealous. I even pity myself. Now that I think about it, he'd never done anything for me even though I was married to him for so many years, so why was he indulging Briar like this? It's fine if I lost to someone else, but this is Briar, who's nothing but a cunning fox. I can't just let this go!' "The

"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

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
