The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 600
“He's... he's dead?”Margaret was shocked. She struggled to process the sudden news.How could a person who had everything like him die just like that?!“Yes, he's dead. If I'm not wrong, he probably died because he tried to save me.”Renee spoke with difficulty, her expression heavy.Although Francine believed there was foul play in Stefan's death, Renee still felt responsible.If he didn't hurt his leg trying to save her, his life would not be in danger, and the people who wished to cause him harm would not have an opportunity to take advantage of.“For real?”Margaret found Renee's words hard to believe.Stefan was a heartless beast. He caused Renee a lot of pain. There's no way he would sacrifice himself to save Renee. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.“I'm not sure if it's true either, but from the information I gathered, I might not necessarily be the direct cause of his death, but I do have to bear some responsibility. I feel... a little sad.”Renee lowered
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 601
Renee felt much better after Margaret consoled her. She wiped away her tears and commanded herself to stop feeling depressed. She had to stand back up!For the first time in a long time, she slept soundly without any external assistance such as hypnosis or piano.When she woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning.Today, she and Margaret were going to send Aiden and Abigail to the Monte Perry Kindergarten together.Because it was the first day and the two kids were transfer students, there would surely be a lot of procedures they had to go through.Renee decided to get there early.Therefore, she immediately got up from bed.The two kids also woke up one after another.While Renee was thinking about what healthy and delicious breakfast she should make for the kids, the doorbell rang.Renee opened the door and saw the errand runner from the other day.“Hello, Ms. Everheart. Your breakfast is here. Enjoy.”Before Renee could ask any questions, the errand runner

Abigail chewed the cake slowly like a kitten. Then, her big round eyes instantly enlarged and shone bright like stars in the sky. She said excitedly, "Wow, what a delicious cake! It's the most delicious cake I've ever had!”“Really?”Renee and Aiden exchanged glances. They were still afraid to taste the cake due to their trauma.“Adie, why don't you... give it a try too?”Aiden shook his head and said, "Mommy, of course I should let you go first. I'm a filial son after all.”Renee's smile was awkward. "Yes, you sure are.”She slowly picked up a slice of cake and licked it tentatively.Surprisingly, it did not taste as “exciting” as the previous breakfast. In fact, it was quite delicious.Renee quickly finished a slice and immediately started on a second one.Seeing that, Aiden also picked up a slice and tried it out.“It's good. Looks like that guy put in a lot of effort to improve. Not bad, not bad at all.”Aiden nodded while eating. His opinion of Mr. Q improved by ten poi

Margaret was not as confident as she appeared. She was also worried that the kids might not adapt well or that they would get laughed at for not having a father, but she had to remain calm.If she was anxious too, Miss Renee would become even more anxious.“Okay, I'll get back to work. I do have something important to take care of today.”Renee said goodbye to Margaret.Renee checked her watch. There was still half an hour left before the press conference Jovan mentioned.Major changes were coming to Beach City in half an hour. Many important figures would probably attend the press conference. Of course she would want to witness this special moment too.Renee drove straight to the five-star hotel where the press conference was held.Luxury cars lined up outside the hotel. Security was tight. Reporters crowded outside the cordon. Many influencers were there too, hoping the exposure would boost their popularity.Renee's red Ferrari was very eye-catching, to begin with. When she g

Renee became even more irritated. She roared at the reporters and influencers, "I already said I'm in a hurry. Are you all deaf? Get out of my way or I'll beat you up!”The reporters and influencers who were blocked outside the venue were all nobodies. They were an unscrupulous bunch who would do anything to get views. When they saw Renee lose her temper, they got even more excited. They kept testing her patience, hoping that she would lose control.Renee was surrounded. She couldn't move a single step. She clenched her fists and was ready to start beating people up.A Maybach slowly pulled up. A handsome man in a suit got out of the car, escorted by security guards.“Why are you guys bullying a weak woman like her? Come at me instead!”The man who spoke was none other than Jovan, the protagonist of today's press conference.“It's Jovan Hunt, the rising star in the business world!”“He's rumored to take over the Hunt Enterprise, which means he's about to replace Stefan Hunt as t

“Rumor has it that the two of them were in love first. It was Stefan who stole Renee away from Jovan. And now, Jovan Hunt has returned to take back his lover.”“In that case, maybe those two were involved in Stefan's death... Tsk tsk, wealthy families are so scary!”Renee could not be bothered by their speculation. She walked straight into the hotel lobby.The hotel decoration was grand and magnificent.There was a podium adorned with the Hunt Enterprise's logo. Various microphones with logos of television stations from around the world were placed on the podium. Reporters sat in chairs below the stage, while senior executives of Hunt Enterprise sat on the stage.Renee was not considered a senior executive of Hunt Enterprise, so she kept a low profile and chose a seat in the last row.The same could not be said for Jovan. As soon as he entered, he was the center of attention. He received a warm welcome from the audience.In addition to reporters, there were also representatives

“I was wondering who the person that has been constantly sniffing for my traces over the years was! That IP was like a virus. I intercepted it time and time again. So it was you... my savior.”Renee's red lips curled into a smile as she looked at her old friend.Who knew that there was still an old friend in the vast Beach City who still cared about her. She was touched.“You call me your savior, but you hid from me for four years, making me worry about you for four years. Is your heart made of stone?”Seeing the woman who had become more charming, more attractive, and more elusive than before, Xavier's emotions were complicated.After all, this was the woman who once made his heart race and the woman he risked his life to save. Even if it was impossible between them, she still held an important spot in his heart.Rather than saying that he and Stefan had searched almost every corner of the world for Renee all these years, it would be more appropriate to call it his personal obse

“A weak woman?”That made Renee laugh. "They should pray that they don't lose all their teeth when they try to eat me alive!”“Nice. Your courage is commendable. I'll give you a round of applause.”Looking at the confident Renee, Xavier almost overflowed with admiration.“To be honest with you, the only person I'm afraid of in the entire Beach City is Stefan Hunt. But now that Stefan is gone, those old fools are destined for defeat now that Stefan is gone.”She knew her words were very arrogant, but it was not without reason.“That means you're hoping that Stef's dead for real. Tsk tsk... Poor Stef. He's so sincere to you, but you want him dead.”“Sincere?”Renee snorted. "How could you utter a blatant lie like that? Stefan's sincere to me? Would you want that kind of sincerity?”“I know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, but Stef has his own difficulties too. There are some misunderstandings between you which have been brewing inside you for four years. Neither of yo

"I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

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
