The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 514
Renee felt warmth bloom in her chest when she saw her son waiting for her. She bent over to hug Aiden, but he took a step back and put his hands on his hips sternly. "Mommy, you didn't come home last night. You misbehaved. Tell me the truth! Where did you go?""Umm, about that…" Renee felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell Aiden that she got drunk at a bar and spent money on a man, could she? Aiden would definitely lose all respect for her!"I finished work late, so I spent the night in the office. Sorry for making you worry, Adie." Renee picked up Adie and muttered an excuse, feeling a little guilty. After all, Aiden wasn't exactly gullible. As expected, Aiden took a deep breath before taking a few sniffs. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Mommy, you're lying. You reek of alcohol! You went drinking last night, didn't you?"When Leia heard this, she immediately came clean about what had happened. "That's right! I asked your mother out for a drink las

Aiden pouted and said firmly, "From now on, I'll do my best to find Mommy a husband. He'll share Mommy's workload, love her, and protect her!"Renee felt her heart warm when she heard this, and she couldn't resist kissing Aiden's cheek. "Adie, you're the best, but work isn't that tough, and I have you to love and protect me. That's more than enough, so you don't have to find someone for me.""It's different!" Aiden clenched his fists, trying to get his point across. "I'm your son, not your husband. What you need now is a husband, and that's why I need to find you one."Renee stared at Aiden, at a loss for words.Leia burst into laughter, and grinned at Renee. "In my opinion, you should just let Adie find you a man. If he does find you a knight in shining armor, he'd also be finding a father for himself. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? I'm sure Adie's judgment is better than yours; whoever he chooses can't possibly be any worse than a certain someone, don't you th
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 516
Leia wholeheartedly believed that life should be lived to the fullest, without stress or misery. That was all she wanted for her best friend. At the very least, she didn't want Renee to give up on romance at the young age of thirty all because of a selfish scumbag!"Isaac has another performance in a few days, so why don't we go back then and have a good time? Also, I heard that The Blue Inn hires handsome new performers every few days or so. They always fight for the top spot, so if you get bored of Isaac, we can always find you someone else. You know, I think we should try to view relationships the way men do. We should only care about their appearance, and never get emotionally invested. That way, we'll never get hurt, right?"Renee chuckled, her eyes gleaming with mirth. "Leia, what happened to you? In the past, all you talked about was undying love; you'd even pray for a man who loved you with all his heart. How did you come to this sudden realization?""Well, I guess it was wh

The person on the other end of the line was none other than Jovan, the madman who had been making headlines in the business realm as of late.In the past, Renee used to think that he was an idiot who relied on his status in the Hunt family to live a lavish lifestyle. However, after that incident, her impression of the man changed.Anybody who came from a rich family and managed to carve his own path in the cutthroat field of business couldn't possibly be an idiot. In fact, people like him who pretended to be fools were the hardest to deal with!Renee didn't want to waste her time on him, and ended the call without saying a word.As usual, she browsed financial websites to check the latest financial news.To her surprise, Stefan, who used to be the business circle's favorite subject, was now the person everyone hated. Comments like 'Hunt Enterprise's CEO, Stefan Hunt, is suspected to be dead. What lies ahead for Hunt Enterprise?', 'Mr. Hunt is having a good time out there while Hun

However, Jovan wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he laughed in amusement. "Let's meet up. I can solve Azure Group's lack of capital."Renee scowled at the sight of the rumors on her computer screen. "Sure. Clearly, we need to talk!"They agreed to meet at an elegant little cafe.Jovan arrived ahead of time. He was dressed casually in a beige sweater and apricot trousers. He seemed relaxed and approachable, unlike his usual mad and sinister self.He smiled pleasantly when he saw Renee. "I ordered a Matcha Frappuccino for you. If I'm not mistaken, that's your favorite drink."Renee was a little surprised that he knew this. She reached for a chair and sat down. There was even a bouquet of sunflowers next to the coffee that seemed to be a gift for her.Jovan… He'd done a lot of research on her, hadn't he? How else would he know her favorite things?"What are you up to? Why do you know all these things about me?" Renee asked, warily staring at the man in front of her.Jovan was

"Haha! AIDS?" Jovan burst into laughter. "Which media company did that? How brave. My cousin would be turning in his grave if he knew."Renee rolled her eyes. "You can drop the act. Just own up to it if you did it. I can tell you're the kind of person who'd do something like this."Jovan stared at her for a long time, then asked, "Do you really have such a bad impression of me?"He let out a long sigh, and he seemed a little hurt. "I don't care if you believe me, but I didn't start that rumor. All I did was spread one rumor, which is about fifty percent true."Seeing how mysterious he made it sound, Renee couldn't help but feel curious. "What is it?""Didn't you read about how Stefan's ex-wife and Jovan used to be together? Back then, Stefan came between the two of them and separated them by force. Now that Jovan has made his glorious return, he swears to reclaim the love of his life…" Jovan smiled giddily. "To tell you the truth, I'm the person who spread that rumor."Renee was

"Renee, I don't care if you want money, fame, or even Hunt Enterprise. I can give you all of it… All you need to do is turn around and look at me!" Jovan begged, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. He reached out and pulled Renee to him.The outcome was rather predictable.Renee grabbed him by the shoulders and flung him to the ground forcefully. He landed on the ground heavily, and as he gasped for air, Renee placed one high-heeled foot on his chest.It was like she was looking down at him from miles above."Jovan, you're an idiot. Do you think I fell in love with Stefan for his looks or status?" Renee looked at Jovan in disgust. "I loved him because of his kindness, integrity, and principles, which are things you'll never have. Even if he's dead, you won't ever be able to surpass him!""Haha! Kindness? Integrity? Principles?" Jovan laughed as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. "I can only say that Stefan is a great actor. So many years have passed, and you sti

After Renee left the cafe, she drove aimlessly through the city. Although Jovan was a lunatic, and the things he said could hardly be trusted, she was still affected by what she heard.Renee was also very curious about how Tristan died four years ago. Was it an accident, or was someone behind it? If someone was behind it, who was it, and was Stefan the victim… or the perpetrator?It seemed Renee would have to find a way to hack into the Newrest police department's filing system to get her hands on the files of Tristan's murder! With this thought in mind, Renee turned the car around and soon arrived back at her apartment.Leia had gone out to settle something, so Aiden was the only one at home. Ever since the last beating, Aiden had become much more obedient. Without Renee's permission, he wouldn't dare go to places he wasn't supposed to. After getting bored of watching cartoons, he switched on Renee's computer to play Tetris.When Renee walked in and saw Aiden behaving, she felt re

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

"You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

"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
