"Wrap it up for me?"

Renee was taken aback and perplexed.

"You don't like it?" Mr. Q questioned, turning to face her.

“No. I really do!"

She returned her gaze to the picture and said, "Isn't it a little inappropriate that you give me such an expensive painting?"

Although she had been hinting at him to give it to her, she never expected him to be so casual about it!

"I don't see what the problem is if you like it. It's just a piece of art. There are a lot of paintings in the pawn shop," he said casually.

"Thank you!"

She quickly bowed and thanked him. At this moment, she thought even his face mask was charming.

Money was, indeed, the most powerful force in the world.

She was suddenly reminded of the elderly man's forecast that said, 'As lofty as the mountain, as boundless as the sea. An unrivaled pair, their union shall stand through eternity.'

'Is it possible that Mr. Q is the one I'll marry? If he were, it would be absurd, considering he is Stefan's arch-adversary. If Stefa

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 569

    “You…”Mr. Q took a moment to process all Renee said before responding emotionlessly, "You have a wild imagination.""Is that not the case?"Renee took a step closer to him before placing her palm on his chest.When he saw this, he grimaced and grabbed her hand. "What exactly are you doing?" "Don'tworry. I simply want to know whether your pulse quickened for me."She raised her glance to his and smiled sweetly.He was first uneasy until a grin came over his face. He put his long arm around her waist, drew her into his arms, and murmured hoarsely, "If you want to feel it, come closer."Renee's cheeks reddened instantly, and she slipped from his grasp."What's the matter with you? I'm not going to eat you."It was his time to take the lead, and he grinned as he inched closer to Renee. "You said that I am your ex-husband's adversary. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend,' as the adage goes. I believe we can give it a go and be together.""No!"She quickly crossed her arms.'I

    Renee led Mr. Q to Sun Island's center, where she and her children spent most of their time.They had to stroll through the sunflower garden to get there.The garden was lovely, as each sunflower bloomed beautifully and grew to be as tall as humans.One strolled in front of the house, while the other wandered in the garden. The golden warmth of the sun shined on their head and shoulders. The sight was stunning, like something out of a movie.Abigail stood at the far end of the garden, wearing a yellow dress and a little hat. She had a tiny shovel in her hand and was digging a hole."Abby, the sun is up, and the temperature is rising. Let's get you home before you become ill!" Margaret said as she stepped to the side and fanned her. "You can go home first, Margaret. I need to cover the whole farm with sunflowers. Only then can Mommy and Adie return.""This land is enormous. It'll be night by the time you finish planting it with sunflowers. Let's go home.." Margaret was concerned

    Renee was uneasy as she struggled to introduce Mr.Q to Abigail.Abigail would have driven him away with the small shovel if she had informed her he was coming to acquire Sun Island."He's a new friend I made in Beach City," she answered hopelessly since this was the only response she could come up with. "Mommy's friend?"Abigail stepped out of Renee's embrace and moved up to Mr. Q. She smiled pleasantly and glanced at him before grasping his palm in her small hand. "Greetings from Sun Island. You're my friend too, because you're Mommy's buddy!"Mr. Q's frigid expression vanished, and it was clear that Abigail's kindness warmed his chilly heart.As a result, he knelt and shook Abigail's hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, little one. Not only am I your mother's friend, but I am also your brother's buddy. I am confident that the four of us will be great friends.""Of course!"Mommy doesn't have many friends, especially male friends," Abigail said, her eyes sparkling with delight. "

    "Margaret, you can tell me about your concerns," Renee said."Ms. Ren, you know Addie and Abby grew up here on Sun Island, they barely have any contact with the outside world. I'm not concerned about Addie. He's a clever child who is quite defensive, so no one can trick him. But I'm concerned about Abby. She's a tiny angel with no defensive abilities. I'm concerned she'll encounter some nasty individuals when she leaves Sun Island. The most important fact is that Abby has health problems and has difficulty breathing. She needs fresh air to breathe. Even here on Sun Island, where the air is clean, she'll become sick now and again; what will happen if she moves to the city?"Renee seemed concerned when she heard this. "This concerns me as well. But Abby cannot constantly be sheltered; she must learn from her surroundings. I'll do my best to locate a suitable location in Beach City.""When it comes to a healthy environment, there are only two areas in Beach City where the tree coverage

    Abigail enthusiastically handed out the cards. This was her favorite game.Renee and Aiden would constantly beat her and Margaret.‘Since the masked guy is here, I must win for once!’ she reasoned to herself.Renee gave Mr. Q an uneasy grin and said, "It's a little childish, but she likes it. Please play with her while you're here!"Mr. Q hesitantly agreed.Abigail soon finished delivering all of the cards.They all opened their cards at the same time. Mr. Q was dealt the Joker, while Abigail was dealt the King."Yay! I won!"This was her first victory, and she bounced about enthusiastically, eager to punish him.Renee reminded Abigail that Mr. Q was their visitor and her sponsor. "Abby, he's a guest. Don't go too far.""Don't worry, Mommy. I'm not going to make things difficult for our visitors.""All right, then, decide whether you want me to choose truth or dare.""Hmm… Dare!""Sure. I'm not afraid of anything," he said unequivocally.Abby looked at him, blinked her br

    "Well…"Abigail paused after sneaking a glimpse at Renee. She was, indeed, concealing secrets from Renee."You must abide by the rules. Your nose will grow long if you lie." Mr. Q frowned deeply and admonished Abigail.Renee was also curious and attempted to find out the truth from Abby. "What's the secret? Tell me, I'm curious!""Okay, I'll tell you, but Mommy mustn't be angry." Abigail blinked her eyes and smiled at Renee."Don't be concerned. I'm not going to be upset. Everyone has secrets, even me."Renee considered herself a more positive mother, believing that as long as her children did not do something wrong, she would support them."Okay, I'll tell you," Abigail stated gravely, sucking in a long breath and holding Renee's hands with her small hand. "Mommy, I want to tell you that Addie and I want a daddy. Despite your assurances that we can be happy without Daddy, I believe we would be happier if we had one. Can you find a daddy for me and Addie, Mommy?"Renee was surp

    At this time, Abigail said quietly from the side, "Mommy, there’s something that Daddy and Mommy can do but Daddy will do it better.""Oh?"Renee and Mr. Q both turned to gaze at her, intrigued about her response."It's lifting me up!""Daddy will definitely lift me up higher than Mommy. I want to sit on Daddy's shoulder and watch the scenery around me!" he concluded.Renee was unable to refute her remarks and was overcome with remorse.There was a physical difference between a man and a woman. A man could provide a kid with more protection and security. This was something she would never be able to make up for."Is that it? I'll lift you up."Mr. Q abruptly bowed down and put out his extended arms, effortlessly placing Abigail on his wide shoulders."Wow, this is very high. I can see the entire sea!"She was so happy that she burst out laughing and put her arms around his neck, shouting, "Lift me up even higher!"They blended perfectly with the blue water, creating a lovely

    "Really? Tell me about it."Renee squatted down and gently wiped away the sweat on Abigail's face with a small towel.The little girl ran so excitedly until her puffy cheeks were red like two ripe apples, which made her irresistibly cute."Mommy, didn't I tell you just now that I actually want a daddy? But you haven't been looking for one, so I decided to take Mr. Q as my father. I want him to become my daddy!" Abigail said very seriously. Her eyes were twinkling like the stars."No, you can't!" Renee disapproved of her idea without hesitation.Stefan was, in any case, Abigail's biological father. But Mr. Q was coincidentally his nemesis, and if they were to become father and daughter, wouldn't it mean that Abigail had sold herself to her enemy?Though Renee had a grudge against Stefan, it was another matter on a whole different level. She could not make herself do something so immoral or agree for Abigail to do so either."Why not?" Abigail pouted, her face filled with confusio

    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
