The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 912
Frederick adjusted his glasses as he faced the crowd calmly, looking distinguished in his well-tailored suit. "Calm down, everyone. I sent Ms. Everheart an invitation because she has a special identity—one that is very significant in our industry. She is more qualified than anyone here to join this summit, so for the good of our industry, please respect everyone here as equals."The man's words instantly enraged the older individuals in the hall."Frederick, what are you saying? She's just an inexperienced little girl! How could she possibly contribute more to the industry than us? Did you fall for that temptress' tricks, youngster?! Did you exploit some loophole so you could invite her here?""Don't forget that we can remove you from your position just as easily as we put you there, so don't get cocky with us!"Frederick smiled sadly. "By the time the conference starts, all of you will understand that I was only speaking the truth. If you still think Ms. Everheart has no right to

After all, Renee had no money, while Jovan had no skills. Since they were both practically outcasts, the guards figured it would be safest to side with Seraphina.Jovan lost his temper, and grabbed the guard by his collar furiously. "Do you have a death wish? How dare you ask us to leave?!"Renee, however, shrugged dismissively. "Let him go. If they want us to leave, we will.""Why should I? This is clearly an abuse of power! We got an official invitation fair and square, so what makes them think they can just take that away from us?" Jovan snarled defiantly. Being a pampered son of the Hunt family, he had never been treated like this before.Renee smirked and said mysteriously, "It's alright. Even if we leave now, they'll be begging us to come back."Seraphina laughed mockingly and sneered, "Just who do you think you are? Apart from the heads of this summit, everyone here is replaceable, especially people like you who only got an invite through their connections!"Ignoring her,

The most important part of the event was starting soon, and several important figures were already seated at the round table. This included Stefan, Frederick, and many other powerful leaders of the industry.The rest of the participants could only observe their meeting from a large meeting room outside the hall. Even the biggest sponsor of the event, Seraphina, was not allowed to attend the conference.To start the conference, the eight industry leaders would have to press the activation button, located in the middle of the conference table, simultaneously. This activation button was shaped like the Earth and divided into eight pieces, representing the eight regions that contributed most to the technology industry. The conference was scheduled to start soon. Some people had even brought automated translators, and they counted down excitedly."Five, four, three, two…"There was a long silence. Nothing had happened, and the attendees were visibly confused. The activation button sho

Next to him was Akio Higashino, a legend of Aeos who specialized in artificial intelligence. The man was the third most influential individual in the room, after Stefan and the new KCL chairman.Akio was very ambitious, and wanted to diversify his business to different technological domains. Not only did his company excel in artificial intelligence, they were also researching electronic chips as well. However, they were unable to make a breakthrough in their research, resulting in their inability to produce the electronics they wanted. Hence, they were stuck in third place.For over a decade, the man had been trying to destroy the partnership between Hunt Enterprise and KCL Holdings, in hopes of replacing Hunt Enterprise as KCL's business partner. If his company, Higashino Corp, could sign a contract to work with KCL, he was confident that they would surely surpass KCL in the future."Mr. Hunt, you're so calm! Could it be that you've already signed a contract with KCL in private? If

Everyone immediately turned to Seraphina."Huh? Is… Is it really up to me?" The woman was stunned. Although the Murphys were the biggest sponsor of the event, the family was actually not familiar with the electronics industry. Seraphina had only been acknowledged because of all the money her family had spent, so she felt a bit insecure attending such an event. However, hearing that she would be the sole reason behind the success of this event, she felt pride bloom in her."Yes, Ms. Murphy, the newest chairman of KCL, requested you, specifically, to cooperate with them…""I'll do anything for them! It's an honor for me to be of assistance!" Seraphina was even more excited after hearing that the new chairman had personally requested her. After all, if she managed to befriend this new director, she would become a renowned figure within the technology industry as well. Powerful and rich businessmen would have to put effort into getting on her good side if they wished to work with KCL.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Hunt… we meet again." Renee nodded at Stefan, a prideful smile on her face."Indeed. You've been planning this for a very long time, haven't you? What a great performance!" Stefan said, raising an eyebrow.'Tsk tsk, it really was her!' Stefan didn't seem shocked in the slightest. Instead, he felt strangely content. 'Oh, Renee Everheart, of course it's you. You took quite a huge risk this time, huh? I have to admit that I'm impressed.'The woman's status left him feeling much more relieved than before. At the very least, as the 'new chairman of KCL', he wouldn't have to worry about her being taken advantage of. Moreover, her wealth was now enough to give four generations of her family a life of luxury."Frederick, what is the meaning of this? Why is this woman here?! Don't tell me she really is the new chairman of KCL?""Exactly, Frederick, you have to give us a reasonable explanation. Is KCL Holdings toying with us elders?!" The attendees immediately voi

Everyone turned to look at Stefan, falling silent right away. They didn't dare to utter a single sound.Renee stared at the man as well, her beautiful eyes clouded with confusion. The man's support was understandable but also extremely unexpected."Our industry doesn't solely rely on experience—skill is a very important trait as well. Since the attendees of this event are all top contributors, I'm sure you've seen her capabilities from four years ago…" Stefan's indifferent gaze traveled over the crowd as he spoke calmly."She managed to pass every test and earned her position as the president of the Electronics Technology Association, which proves that she is more than capable. Now that she has invented the G6 chip, I think she definitely has the right to be a conference member.""I think Ms. Everheart is quite admirable too!" Akio bowed deeply and smiled at Renee. "Welcome, Ms. Everheart! New talents are always welcome. Let's get to know each other better!"Frederick sighed, turn
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 919
"So here's another question... Since the G6 chip is about to be publicly listed on the market, can you perhaps reveal which company KCL Holdings will choose to work with? This will decide who's the leader of our industry for the next decade, after all!" Frederick asked yet another question that piqued everyone's interest."Ms. Everheart, don't think about it too much, just partner up with Higashino Corp! Nearly seventy percent of the artificial intelligence technology in our industry was created by us, and our yearly profit is basically immeasurable! If KCL chooses to work with us, I'll give you twenty percent of our shares!" Akio said eagerly to Renee.Twenty percent of shares sounded quite generous, but a partnership with KCL would certainly bring Akio much more profit."Ms. Everheart, you should work with DR Group! We are currently earning a lot of profit too, and I'll be willing to offer up to fifty percent of our shares to you…"The other members couldn't stand by and watch an

"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
