The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 434
"Alright, alright, let her in!" Francine said reluctantly.In reality, she wasn't very pleased with Briar. If that woman hadn't gotten pregnant with a child of the Hunt family, then ended up in such a sorry state, she would have abandoned her long ago.After a while, a servant guided a plainly dressed, frail Ms. Desrosier into the garden."Look at her, outsiders would think she was here to mourn the dead! She's going to bring us bad luck! " Francine frowned as she looked on with scorn, ranting to Edith."Madam Francine!" Briar slowly approached and started sobbing as soon as she was in front of her, "Madam Francine, I think I've ruined everything! You have to help me this time! If you don't, Stefan might never forgive me, and he'll ignore me forever…""Really?" Francine's first thought was, 'Could this really be true? My angel of a son is finally going to get rid of you?'Regardless, she kept up a regal facade out of courtesy, and feigned concern. "Stop crying first. Tell me what

Thus, Francine took her phone out and dialed Stefan's personal number. "I'd like to ask Stef about the entire situation. I really don't believe that the girl would be so insolent!"However, it turned out that she couldn't reach Stefan as well. Not even Elijah knew about his whereabouts."That's weird, why can't I reach him? That kid's usually at work at this hour, and Hunt Enterprise is facing quite a lot of challenging matters that require his attention. Where has he run off to?" Francine's face was painted with concern as she realized the severity of the situation.After that, she contacted everyone she could, trying her best to find Stefan, only to find that they were looking for the man as well."Why can't I contact that child? Did something happen to him?" Francine seemed uneasy.Lately, Hunt Enterprise was gaining quite a lot of traction as they were about to mass produce their new smartphone model, the ME2350. Once they successfully signed a contract with KCL Group, the ent

Francine and Briar soon arrived at the hospital Renee was at. Liam had to handle some matters regarding Azure Group, so Renee was the only one present in the ward at the time. She was currently on a video call with her daughter. "Abby, is your brother still busy with his research? Is that why he won't see Mommy?""Yes, Mommy. Adie is very focused on his research, so he can't have any distractions. You might not see him for a while…""Not even for a second?" Renee poked Abigail's adorable cheek on her screen, pouting. "Abby, please… Just secretly point the camera at Adie, okay? Let Mommy see your brother for a bit!""No, no!" Abigail shook her head profusely, seemingly determined. "Abby pinky-promised Adie that I won't let anyone see him before his research is successful! I want to keep my promises, or else my nose will grow long like Pinocchio's!""Ah, okay then…" Renee sighed, as she had failed once again. Her heart always naturally melted in front of her two babies, no matter h
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 437
"Yeah, exactly!" Renee agreed quickly. "My friends are all weirdos—we even call each other Mommy in private!""What in the world… your friends are just as weird as you are!" Francine exclaimed. Although she did find it odd, she didn't press her. After all, this wasn't the reason she was here.She placed the beautiful bouquet of lilies on Renee's desk, then pulled a chair over to sit down next to the bed. Her natural movements made it seem like she was a close loved one to the injured woman."Tell me. Where have you been hiding after making such a big mistake? Did you get married? Any kids?" Francine behaved like an elegant rich lady, and every question sounded like an interrogation. She knew her idiot of a son wouldn't ask such questions, especially with his temper and ego, which was why she had to do it in his stead.Renee smiled coldly. "Madam Francine, why do I need to answer your questions? Do you think we're close?"It had been four years, and yet her ex mother-in-law was sti

Francine collected herself, preparing to go on yet another rant.Just then, Briar interrupted her with a darkened expression, turning towards Renee. "Ms. Everheart, we actually came to ask if you know of Stef's whereabouts. It's been an entire day, and we've tried everything we could to contact him. For some reason, we just couldn't reach him, and he wouldn't pick up the phone! We're worried something might've happened to him…""You can't reach him?" Renee frowned, visibly confused. "That's not right. He already went through surgery, so he should've called you guys the moment he woke up.""What? Surgery?!" Francine jumped abruptly, her expression panicked as she continued, "What kind of surgery? Where is he now? What happened to him?""Uhm…" Renee read Francine's reactions and realized she might not know anything about the accident. After a brief pause, she decided to tell the truth. "I fell down a cliff and injured my leg. He hurt himself while trying to save me, and I heard he
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 439
Renee felt as if she was about to explode after hearing Briar's words. She glared at her and thought to herself, 'Ha, good one, woman. You were clearly implying that I have something to hide, so don't act like you're helping me! Now I'm really going to be blamed for whatever this is!'"Briar, so you're saying I'm threatening the nurse on purpose, so she won't reveal Stefan's condition to you?""I didn't mean that, Ms. Everheart. Please don't assume things. Unless… you really are hiding something.""What do I have to hide? I myself want to know of his condition too! I feel very bad that he injured himself while saving me, alright?""How would I know what you're thinking, Ms. Everheart? There's a possibility that you want to avoid taking responsibility if Stef's condition is worsening, so…"The two then started fighting with one another, each providing quite valid arguments."Enough!" Francine yelled furiously, causing the entire room to fall silent. Her face was frosty as she poin

"Calm down, Madam Francine!" Renee was having a hard time moving around with a cast and an IV drip connected to her arm.Francine was quite a bad-tempered person. On the verge of a meltdown, she would've choked Renee to death if it weren't for the little bit of rationality she had in her."I'm giving you one last chance to tell me where Stef is! As long as you're willing to tell me, I can look past everything! I just want to know if my son is safe! Please, I'm begging you!" Francine was still holding onto Renee's shoulders, her insanity replaced with despair as tears welled up in her eyes.As a mother, she was willing to risk her life for her child."I already told you—I don't know either! I didn't even expect him to come save me! I have no reason to harm him, nor do I have any reason to hide him from you, alright?" As a mother herself, Renee understood how Francine felt, so she didn't blame her for her actions. If the roles had been switched, she wouldn't have been as level-head

"Come at you, right? No problem. Just don't beg for mercy later." Liam was the "Supreme Overlord" who even The Great Eight of Beach City shied away from. He was the best at dealing with such pretentious sluts like Briar.Cracking his knuckles, he sneered and said, "It's been a long time since I boxed, and my hands can't wait. In the past, when I boxed, one of my favorite things was using a bad women's face as a sandbag. It was so much fun to give them each a punch and bruise their face. Now that you are the one who asked for it yourself, nobody would have more pleasure than me to do the honors…""D-Don't come near me. I am a member of the Hunts. If your dare to hurt me, the Hunts will not let you go easily!"Briar had long heard of Liam's "terrifying" deeds.This young man was fearless on account of being favored in the Osborne family, and his means were particularly ruthless, so much so that anyone who had seen it would stay as far as possible away from him. Literally no one had

Stefan remained quiet as he calmly watched Renee. He extended his hand to touch her face but retrieved it before he could.She used to be the woman he was familiar with and the one he had hugged and kissed countless times, but now, he didn't even dare to touch her. "I think she doesn't even want you here. She must hate you so much and is disappointed in you. She'll be even more pressured if you stay here, and it'll push her further from this world. So please, get the hell out of here if you want the best for her!"Justin could not hold himself back from scolding Stefan. If Jovan was telling the truth, Stefan must be aware of the fact that Jovan was holding Renee hostage. Yet, he remained indifferent and feigned ignorance. He didn't even care if Renee was fine. What a cruel bastard! Justin was disappointed in Stefan. He wanted nothing more than to see what was really on Stefan's mind."Take good care of her." Stefan did not want to defend himself. He glanced at Renee, relucta

"What did you do to her?!" Stefan interrogated Jovan coldly, his eyes teary. "She isn't the kind to kill herself! What the hell did you do to her?" "Try to wake her up if you want to know." Jovan was pale. His previous sickness, coupled with his recent blood donation to Renee, made him very weak. Despite that, he refused to stop infuriating others. "Do you think I can't do anything to you? Do you really think that?" Stefan could no longer hold himself back and strangled Jovan. "I'm going to kill you! Repent for the terrible things you've done!"He couldn't imagine the kind of thing that could force the strong and stubborn Renee to resist by using such a desperate means. "You obviously won't go easy on me! I'm sure of that!" Jovan sneered. His pale face turned flushed as he suffocated from Stefan's powerful grip. "But you'd better kill yourself first if you want to avenge her! She ended up like this because of you." "What?" Stefan's face was frosty. He strengthened his grip a

Jovan slowly got up from the ground, looking incredibly weak. He whispered, "She lost too much blood. The doctor claimed she's out of danger, but…she hasn't woken up.""What did you say?" Stefan and Justin were bewildered. They couldn't process his words."So, she was the female college student who tried to kill herself?" Stefan said. He staggered after linking the information he had heard from a nurse with the things that Jovan had said."Stop acting dumb! You're so smart, how could you have missed that?" Jovan glared coldly stared at Stefan, scrutinizing him in disdain. "You were just too scared to face the truth and your woman! You're such a coward! You're an embarrassment to your family!""Agreed!" Justin added; he suddenly found Jovan useful, especially when the latter started insulting Stefan. It felt just right."Although I'm a fallback guy, I'm braver than you. I accept that she doesn't love me, and I'm willing to give it a try with her. And although this guy's a vill

Stefan frowned, doubtful. He looked vigilantly at Jovan, who had collapsed on the ground. "What do you mean by this?"Jovan kept coughing and said nothing. His lips grew pale as he sneered.Justin's eyes were cold, and he held back his urge to beat up Jovan. "Hmph! Obviously, this is a scam!"He demanded condescendingly, "How dare you barge into my territory and take away my woman! Don't you fear my family and me at all?"Jovan, filled with disdain, looked at Justin as if he was a fool. "Stop talking. You don't even have the right to join this battle."To Jovan, only Stefan was qualified and powerful enough to be his enemy."How dare you say that!" Justin was infuriated. He got down on one knee and grabbed Jovan. "Your family always says nasty things! You two are the same. If we start fighting, I'll make sure to cut your tongue first!""Did I say something wrong?" Jovan sized Justin up, ridiculing Justin with mock compassion. "Don't you have any self-awareness? You're just a fal

Stefan frowned and asked solemnly, "Aren't you a top hacker? Hack into this hospital's inpatient system. Then, we'll know where she is.""Yes, you're right." Still, Justin wanted to challenge Stefan. He said indifferently, "But you're Jovan's cousin. It's more convenient for you to make a call instead of me hacking into their system."Yes, Justin could hack into their system, but calling Jovan would be quicker. And what they needed the most was time."He and I…" Stefan sneered, flexing his fingers. "The fact we didn't kill each other is considered peaceful. He's not as obedient as you think.""You'll know by calling him."Justin had heard about the complicated internal fights of the Hunt family, but he felt that Stefan was exaggerating."Jovan is a Hunt no matter what. Plus, he's still working at Hunt Enterprise. Just call him," Justin said. "Fine." Stefan found Justin logical. His private grudges with Jovan were not important because finding Renee immediately was the most impo

Both Stefan and Justin arrived at Grace Hospital quickly. However, Stefan suddenly stopped before he entered the hospital. He looked at Justin curiously."Let's go! It's urgent. Stop standing here!"Justin hurriedly ran. When he turned around, he found that Stefan had not caught up with him. Confused, he asked Stefan, "Something is puzzling me. Don't you want me to stop seeing her? Why did you let me come with you?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and interrogated Justin suspiciously, "Did you lie to me? Or are you plotting something?" "That's nonsense! Don't take me as you. I'm not full of schemes like you!" Justin sounded disdainful. In comparison to Stefan, Justin was not full of schemes. He also looked down upon Stefan since the latter was always vigilant.Justin answered honestly, "Yeah, I don't want you to meet her ever, but I'm sure she wants to see you if she's in danger. Yes, I hate you—but I want her to be happy." He guessed that Renee must be in a serious state since Jov

"Uh…" After some contemplation, Elijah nodded. "I know what to do, Mr. Hunt. It looks like you can see far beyond the current situation. Just leave this to me.""Of course, the most important thing is to have fun."Stefan remained calm; he didn't feel like he had stepped over the line. He merely wanted Justin to learn about the cruelty of the world since Justin was always being protected so well. Whenever he did something wrong, he had to pay a price for it.Besides, Stefan merely did it for his aunt, who had taken the gunshot for nothing. When they reached a consensus, Justin came to meet Stefan. "Hey…" After a pause, he said with dissatisfaction and helplessness, "Would you like to go with me?"Stefan raised his brows in confusion."I mean, do you want to visit Phoenix with me?" Justin sighed. He looked naive, like a college student, as he confessed, "I found Jovan. I don't know why he's so good at countersurveillance. After exiting the emergency room, he transferred her to

"So, what do you want to do?" Stefan asked emotionlessly. He kept watching Nora, who was lying unconscious in the ward."At the very least, we have to teach the Baldwin family a lesson and make the public aware of your family's power as the head of The Great Eight of Beach City. It's not just about venting anger, but more about which side the various great families will take. It concerns the future of your family, too. We can't take it lightly!"Elijah could not hide his indignation. As Stefan's assistant, he was no longer merely an ordinary employee. He was loyal to Stefan and the Hunt family. He couldn't bear to see Stefan suffer any injustice or watch the Hunt family get humiliated. If Stefan hadn't stopped him, he would have gathered all the manpower to fight the Baldwins. Although he had fought Cadmus and Tiger, he had yet to defeat them. He tried to figure out a way to make a counterattack, his face shadowed in gloom.Stefan turned and calmly looked at Elijah. "How shoul

When Justin was willing to send them on an errand again, Cadmus was eager to express his loyalty."No, you don't have to risk your lives for me. That's bloody and horrible. All you need to do is find someone for me." After a pause, Justin added, "Jovan Hunt, Stefan's younger cousin." Cadmus clenched his fists and said fiercely, "It's another Hunt! Old Master Baldwin is right. The Hunt family is full of bad people. If we knew, we shouldn't have dismantled the bombs in Hunt Enterprise. The Hunt family has strengthened their security system now. It's hard to set up bombs there if we want to." Justin felt a headache when he heard Cadmus babbling. He rubbed his temples, and said tiredly, "Stop. We don't have to blow up Hunt Enterprise. I just want to find him. Do you get me? Find him. That's enough!"He stressed his intention of locating Jovan as if he were giving a simple and clear order to robots. Most of the time, Cadmus and Tiger were like AI. Real robots were probably more obedie
