The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 79
Upon leaving the bar, Renee said goodbye to Zack and the other lawyers and stood alone by the roadside to wait for her ride.The cool night breeze brushed against her cheeks, making her feel refreshed.Her figure was graceful in the white dress, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind like a waterfall. There was not much emotion on her delicate face, but there was a hint of sadness there, as if it hid many stories.Quite a few men stopped their cars and either honked or whistled at her, wanting to take her for a ride, but she scared them away with her fierce gaze.Another car stopped nearby. Renee was ready to roll her eyes again. The window slowly rolled down to show Stefan inside.Her gaze changed from a fierce one to a cold one, as if she did not even know him."Need a ride?"Stefan invited in a low voice."Nope, wouldn't want you to go out of your way!"A direct refusal from Renee.Stefan was speechless at her response.Go out of his way? They lived next to each other.

In the silver sports car, Liam paid full attention to the road ahead. Each ounce of force he exerted on the accelerator was done with deliberate care, lest he cause any unnecessary bumps for his goddess and the two little babies in her belly."Boss, you're such a naughty mother. How can you visit a bar while you're pregnant? That's bad prenatal education.""It's a restaurant bar. I didn't drink any liquor."Renee sat in the passenger seat with her head propped up on her hand, looking absent-mindedly out of the window. Her mind seemed preoccupied.Liam may seem carefree, but he was actually quite observant.He could immediately tell that Renee was still feeling troubled about Stefan, so he said, half teasing and half testing, “Boss, since you haven't officially divorced the Iceberg yet, why don't you tell him about your pregnancy and see who he chooses?""Based on what I observed, it's not like he's completely devoid of any feelings for you. At the very least... he's still rather

The next day, Renee headed for Floating Cloud Villa in a casual beige suit. Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail. She looked young, like a fresh college graduate.Floating Cloud Villa was located in a primeval forest more than 50 kilometers away from the urban area of Beach City.The place had dense vegetation, a high level of oxygen concentration, natural hot springs, golf courses, and natural fishing grounds. It was the first choice holiday destination for many wealthy people.Due to a bit of traffic on the road, Renee arrived at Floating Cloud Villa at exactly 10:01 am, so she was a minute late.Upon arriving there, she saw a group of people enthusiastically gathered around someone who was walking out of Floating Cloud Villa.That person was Jerome South, chairman of the South Group, and the person Renee was going to meet.South Group was a powerful company with a strong background. It was one of the top investment companies in Beach City and a loyal partner of Hunt Enterpri

"Give it to me!"Jerome grabbed the brown paper bag and pulled out the documents inside, his fingers trembling slightly due to excitement.It was a freshly-issued winning verdict for an appeal.Except for Renee, no one there knew how significant this verdict was to Jerome.After a long time, Jerome finally turned his gaze away from the verdict.He looked at Renee. His shrewd eyes had a hint of barely noticeable wetness in them. He said, “Come with me!"And so, as everyone watched on in disbelief, Renee successfully obtained the opportunity to meet with Jerome, the chairman of South Group, alone.In the high-end luxury box, Jerome was very emotional."The appeal is successful. Finally, the appeal is successful. Five years... I've waited way too long for this moment!"He repeatedly read the contents of the verdict. Even now, he could still hardly believe it.Jerome's reaction reminded Renee of her late father. She sighed. “Justice is always present. I believe Ms. Chase can defi

The next second, a beautiful and boisterous figure burst in.Comment by Felicia C: insert 2 hashtag before first para"Daddy, I heard a slut is trying to seduce you, so I came to see what the shameless woman looks like!”Jane South was wearing black high heel boots and carrying a limited edition bag. She was shouting and making a scene like a typical spoiled rich girl.She instantly saw Renee sitting across from Jerome South. Surprise crept into her willful face."It's actually you... the woman that Stefan has hated for four years but is still shamelessly clinging onto him!” said Jane through clenched teeth. She looked at Renee with contempt and jealousy. Her attitude was full of hostility.Renee's smiled faintly and extended her hand to Jane, unperturbed. "Hello, Ms. South. I'm honored that you still remember me."She had met Jane before. She knew Jane was Stefan's number one fan. Because Jerome doted on Jane, Jane had grown up spoiled and willful.Generally speaking, Renee ha

Gourmet Pavilion was a top-class restaurant in Beach City. It was the preferred place for many businessmen to socialize and entertain guests.Currently, in their most luxurious dining hall, the Swan Hall, Stefan was sitting at the main table, receiving praises and flattery from everyone. He was undoubtedly the center of attention.“You're definitely the most outstanding individual in the entire Beach City, Mr. Hunt. You repeatedly lead Hunt Enterprise to achieve new heights! The likes of us can only look up to you!"A steady stream of toasts accompanied by flattery would make anyone dizzy.But not Stefan. He remained steadfast, his cold eyes unreadable. The regal air he exuded was a far cry from the crude air around the other businessmen.At that moment, a young voice cautiously said, "Although Mr. Hunt is incredible, there are many rising stars lately. Take Liam Osborne, the young son of Geronimo Osborne, for example. The Azure Group he runs is on a roll right now!"In the midst

About ten minutes later, a waitress in a traditional dress led Jane into the Swan Hall."I finally get to see you again, Stefan. You can't avoid me this time!"She went straight to Stefan's left side. The person sitting to Stefan's left was very tactful and immediately offered his seat.Everyone in Beach City knew that Jane, the future heir of South Group and the pampered only child of Jerome South, was crazy about Stefan Hunt.Hunt Enterprise and South Group were strategic partners that had cooperated for many years.The two young people were comparable in age and family background. A marriage between them seemed like a matter of certainty.But a certain Renee Everheart suddenly appeared out of nowhere..."Stefan, you've grown even more handsome since the last time I saw you. You have no idea how much I've missed you. All I could dream about was you...”Since Jane came in, her eyes never left Stefan. She intimately grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "How could you be so cr

During the day, the primeval forest with dense vegetation at Floating Cloud Villa was a natural oxygen bar for the wealthy, a place for them to take vacations and recuperate. However, during the night, it was a dangerous place where all kinds of wild beasts roamed.At the center of the forest was a sealed underground bunker surrounded by vines and thorns. Few people came to this area. Right now, it was emitting a faint blue light that looked like an eerie fire in the dark night.Renee was sitting at the bottom of the hole. The humid air carried a musty smell, and occasionally mice and cockroaches would crawl past her. Her delicate little face was expressionless. She was calm.Heh, that fool Jane thought that if she tricked Renee into this air-raid shelter and locked her in, she would be teaching Renee a lesson.However, Renee's grandfather had taught her survival skills in the wild when she was little. This environment was no doubt a nightmare for ordinary people, but for her, it w

The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2361
After a long pause, Stefan finally admitted honestly, "That wasn't a lie." He turned to look at Renee. He knew what he had to do, and heaved a long sigh."But life isn't just about love.""Why not?" Renee became teary as she stared at him like a child who failed to get what she wanted. "To me, that's already enough. As long as we love each other, we can conquer everything. Without love, it'll be hopeless.""If loving each other is already enough, there wouldn't be the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Didn't they love each other deeply? They loved each other a lot, but they ended up dead!" Stefan shot back.He could not stop himself from getting impulsive. Heartbroken, he turned around to look into Renee's eyes. "Compared to love, I'd rather you lead a steady and happy life. But I'm not the one who can give you that. I'll only bring you pain and death!""Romeo and Juliet?" Renee found that preposterous and bizarre. "What a lousy excuse! Did I kill your parents, or did you kill my p

"How could you…" Stefan looked at Renee in disbelief. For a moment, he was struck dumb. Renee quietly removed the oxygen mask and the needle. She calmly sat up in bed. "I thought you'd never be honest with me.""When did you wake up?" Stefan finally regained his wits. Because of his guilt, he was too scared to look into Renee's eyes. "I had long woken up." Renee was very calm. She looked weak because she had lost too much blood, but at the same time, she still looked firm like a rose blooming in winter. "So, you purposely lured me here, didn't you?"When Stefan learned that she had long woken up, he realized with shock that he might have stepped into the trap she and Jovan set up.Naturally, he was uneasy, given the proud man he was. He could plot against others but could not tolerate others doing the same to him, let alone the fact that it was his beloved woman."Hmph! Did I lure you here?" Renee laughed sarcastically and disappointedly. She looked at Stefan as he tried

"Can I wake her up?" Stefan seemed to be asking them and himself. He shook his head in self-hatred. "I'm afraid I'm the reason why she wants to escape this world. She must hate me to the core and refuse to see me. She might know that I'm here, so she's avoiding me and refuses to wake up."He recalled how much he had harmed her. He was not confident to wake her up, let alone face her."Yes, you're sinful, ut you must be held accountable for it!" Justin could not bother to waste his time talking to Stefan. He pushed Stefan into the ward instead. "You made her so angry, she's in a coma now. So, you have to wake her up. If she doesn't, you can't leave the ward!""Agreed!"Jovan was standing on the other side. He and Justin seemed to have formed a barrier and refused to let Stefan back down.After some contemplation, Stefan decided to face the music. He closed the ward door and quietly went to Renee's bed. It was the first time he was alone with her after a long time."You're tr
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2358
Unsurprisingly, Renee remained irresponsive. Justin gradually grew depressed. Before, he was confident. Seeing that he was getting no response from her, his confidence waned. Undeniably, he was probably not that important to her. If not, she wouldn't remain indifferent. She would have sensed that he was around. "I got it. You don't need me." Justin smiled helplessly. He felt pathetic too. He took a deep breath and finally stood up to exit the ward."How's it going?" Stefan asked.He kept waiting outside the ward, paying close attention to it in hopes that Renee could wake up. He also felt that Justin could bring Renee wonderful things and hope. She would wake up when she sensed that Justin was calling for her. "Hmph! Isn't it obvious? Of course, he couldn't wake her up!" Jovan casually leaned against the bench in the corridor, not even looking up. He sounded vicious. "He's just a backup guy. Of course she doesn't care about him! She's not in love with him." Justin glared at J

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
