Chapter 8

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan stood tall and proud, an indifferent look on his face as he pondered over his father's words.

His eyes landed on Briar’s stomach, and he said dismissively, “As you can see, Briar is already three months pregnant. This child is part of the family bloodline, so she will need a proper title before the child is born. I’ve already proceeded with the divorce with Renee. Once we're legally separated, I will register my marriage with Briar.”

Francine and Briar let out a sigh of relief at the same time after hearing this.

However, this statement only made Alexander even more furious. He was on the verge of slapping his son. “You bastard! So, you’re serious about this?! You… You’re so foolish that you kicked your wife out to make space for your mistress! Are you insane?!

“If Ren’s grandfather found out about this, how should he rest in peace? You should know that he used to be quite the soldier and was even appointed as an esteemed general! Aren't you worried that he’d haunt you in yo

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2695

    Renee wasn't dumb. There was no way she couldn't hear the subtext in Jovan's words.She just didn't believe he was as noble as he made himself out to be, willing to bite a hook with no bait out of pure devotion."Any living thing makes choices based on what it wants. It's just that some motives look plain, while others seem lofty. In truth, they all come from the same deepest desires. There's no real difference."Her tone was calm and unruffled, as still as the lake in front of them.Jovan froze for a second. He then nodded in agreement. "Sharp as always, Sis. Everything in this world is an equal exchange. No one is more righteous than anyone else.""Hey, are you two here to fish, or to teach a philosophy class? All this talk is impossible to follow. Can't you make it simpler?" Leia finally couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears.There was nothing she could do. Talking to smart people was exhausting. Miss one beat, and you were lost. Listening to them was tiring, but sayin

    By the time Renee and Leia arrived at the lake, Jovan was already there.He had always had a wide range of interests, and fishing was something he'd picked up recently. Not only was his gear fully stocked, but he had even chummed the water early, picked out a flat spot, and set up a tent. He was clearly planning to settle in for the long haul."Wow, Jovan, not bad. This looks like a professional set-up. You must be a veteran."Leia couldn't resist teasing him as she looked at the rows of fishing rods laid out in front of him. They were all of different models and sizes."I'm not a veteran. I just take things more seriously."Jovan sat calmly on a small folding stool and watched the lake. He turned around to smile at the two women who had arrived late, but his gaze naturally landed on Renee. There was something loaded in his tone as he added, "When it comes to getting what I want, I don't miss."Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the float bobbed. He reeled it in smoothly,

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2693

    For the past two days, Renee and Leia had been staying together.Two girls who had once been in stable relationships, then drained by love, found themselves single again. Looking back, they realized that none of it was really that big of a deal.You didn't die without a man. If anything, you slowly found yourself again.Because of Sadler, Renee had uncovered the mastermind who had been working against Azure Group all along. It turned out to be Jovan, who had disappeared for years.Jovan openly stated that he was willing to offer Renee his absolute loyalty, even if it meant standing against the Hunt family and Stefan.At first, Renee refused. She looked down on beating Stefan in that way. But as she watched Azure Group's market performance weaken day by day, and saw product after product being overtaken by Hunt Enterprise, her resolve began to waver."Forget it. Business is a battlefield. If there's a way to win, you shouldn't care about sentiments."After days of hesitation, Ren

    "Nothing. It's finally over between Xavier and me," Leia said gloomily after curling up on the couch.Renee walked over and thoughtfully handed Leia a glass of warm water. She then sat down beside Leia. "Weren't you two doing just fine? How did things take such a sharp turn all of a sudden?""That was just an illusion."Leia took the water and sipped silently. She still looked gloomy.Although she was clear-headed now and had made up her mind to break up with Xavier, the thought of it still made her stomach turn.Heartbreak, after all, was like catching a bad cold. The process was bound to be unpleasant, but eventually, one's immune system would get them through it.What Leia needed right now was to clench her jaw and endure the most painful stage. Once she got past it, she would truly be free."You still can't let go, can you? In that case, why not try a different solution?" Renee asked carefully."A different solution?" Leia turned to look at Renee curiously."If breaking up

    "Uh, I didn't see anything. Please continue!"Renee covered her eyes and backed into the bedroom.Only then did Xavier let go of Leia. He looked a little embarrassed. "Why is she here, too? You could've told me.""I would have, if you gave me the chance," Leia replied with a frown.She was getting worked up a little, but she forced herself to stay calm.After all this time with Xavier, and even when he had professed his love countless times, she still felt that his feelings for her weren't the same as for Renee or Shirley.One was natural affection, while the other was just out of convenience.The more she thought about it, the more she realized that staying apart was the wisest choice. It would at least stop the emotional drain."I'm not joking. I really chose to break up with you, and I want you to take it seriously. Respect me. Don't make me hate you," Leia said firmly after taking a deep breath."Are you sure?" Xavier's expression returned to normal, but his gaze turned sl

    "Cut it out. I'm not your girlfriend. Please respect my boundaries!"This time, Leia's tone was calm. It was cool, distant, and unmistakably firm.For her, some things could be said in jest and taken back the next day, but others were spoken only after serious thought. For the latter, once she said them, they were final."I'm going back to sleep. Please leave."She finished speaking and moved to close the door.Xavier shamelessly stretched out his arm and braced it against the door. "Come on, don't be so cold. Even if you're not my girlfriend, we're still friends, right? And even if we broke up, I still have the right to pursue you. Let me come in and sit for a bit. At least have breakfast before you go back to sleep. How about that?"Leia hesitated for a second when she saw how sincere he looked.That single second was all Xavier needed. He seized the moment and slipped right past her."Hey! What do you think you're doing? I didn't say you could come in. Get out!" Leia shout
