The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 922
Jovan was leaning against the doorway of the meeting room at the time, waiting for Renee. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a lazy smirk was plastered on his handsome face. "Hey now, chairman, you sure hid your secret well. You never fail to impress me!""It was my major for my degree and masters. I never really hid anything, it's just that you just don't know me well enough," Renee said coolly as she eyed the document in her hand, running her fingers through her silky hair. Her demeanor was nonchalant, but her charm shone through regardless.The woman was the epitome of beauty and brains, and she had masked her true self by becoming a gentle housewife back then. Once the mask was off, she could easily make a name for herself."Right, right, I never understood you, nor did Stefan. He was such a useless husband… to think that he doesn't know a thing about you! He deserved whatever karma you just gave him!" Jovan had been watching the livestream outside of the conference hall,

It was rare to see Jovan being friendly with other people."Ah, this is…" Scarlet and Sam looked at Renee, then turned back to Jovan with knowing smiles. "Oh Van, you've finally settled down. We're so happy for you!""You sure are pretty, girl! No wonder you captured his heart! You're the only one Van has ever brought here!""Our hotpot restaurant is Van's secret hideout, and he always says that some good hotpot is all you need to solve any problems in life! We hope you'll be happier after having some of ours today!"Jovan had always behaved like a madman with absolutely no boundaries, but today, he was as bashful as a young teen in love as he brushed Scarlet and Sam off. "You guys, stop being so nosy! You should get back to work!"Jovan and Renee headed over to a table next to a window and sat down. The woman was still quite depressed, and she rested her head in her hands, her eyes gloomy."Alright, chairman, don't be so sad. You fought and won beautifully, so let's have a drink

Renee was slightly speechless upon hearing this. 'Is this guy copying me? I just had Akio Higashino do me a favor, and this punk here is trying to make me do the same? This is basically just canceling out what I got!'"What would you like me to do? It has to be reasonable though. I won't promise you anything that crosses the line!" Renee pondered and decided to compromise.'My, my Stefan. I'm compromising so much that my boundaries are basically non existent!'"Don't be so nervous, it's not like I'm going to force you to do something you don't like. Do I look like that type of person?""Yeah, you do. Every time you go nuts, you're far from a good person. Heck, you don't even act human when that happens!" Renee said. She hadn't forgotten how terrifying the man was when he was in a crazed state. It wasn't even a far stretch to call him a savage animal at those times. Now they were temporarily on the same boat, and could work in peace for the time being. However, that didn't mean sh

Renee placed her chin on her palm, leaning into her seat. She was giggling profusely, mumbling on and on about how she wanted to keep going. "Let's go. No more drinking, or else we aren't going to be able to get home." Jovan snatched the beer bottle out of Renee's hands, refusing to allow her to drink more. Even he was reaching his limit."Say… Jovan… Do you think I ate to my heart's content?" Renee grabbed the man's arm, her eyes blank as she slurred her words."Of course, you almost finished up Scarlet's stock!""Then… Did I drink to my heart's content?""What do you think? If you drink any more, you're going to get alcohol poisoning.""So can you tell me… why Stefan won't… choose me? He… What's his reason?" Renee stood up, swaying slightly on her feet. She held onto the man's collar as she waited for his answer.Jovan was initially still rather tipsy, but this sobered him up. He frowned coldly. "Why are you still thinking about it?""Of course, I am. Wouldn't you want to kn

The next day, Renee woke up with a horrible hangover, still in quite a daze.She noticed she was in an unfamiliar room. It looked modern and minimalistic, with mostly black, gray and white furnishings. There weren't any decorations either, with merely a book named 'The 48 Laws Of Power' by Robert Greene placed on the nightstand."Who… What… Where?" Renee muttered in confusion. She had way too much to drink last night, and couldn't remember anything that happened after she blacked out. She then lifted the blankets, only to find that she was wearing nothing but loose pajamas, not even underwear. 'Oh no… Oh no!' The woman felt her head throb painfully, and wished she could end it all right there."Oh hey, you're up. Good morning." Jovan greeted Renee with a soft smile, leaning against the door frame in casual clothing."Ah!" Renee jolted in surprise. Seeing him only made her thoughts become even more chaotic.She was too nervous to speak at this point, and couldn't even form proper

"Nothing really, I'm just thinking about how certain feelings can blossom out of control…" Jovan mumbled to himself, then turned to her with a mysterious grim. "I have to say though, Stefan sure is a lucky guy. I wonder if he'd regret his choice after seeing what's trending on the internet today.""Trending? What's trending?""You have a phone, so take a look yourself."The woman had a bad feeling about this, and quickly unlocked her phone and scrolled through social media. It seemed that the paparazzi had been following them the whole time last night. There was video footage of them hugging each other as they got into the car, up until Jovan carried her into his home. To make matters worse, these videos were currently at the top of the current trending articles. Each title was more scandalous than the other.[Jovan Hunt's night with his ex cousin-in-law, lovebirds finally get their happy ending.][Stefan Hunt's bold ex-wife spends a 'rough' night with ex-lover.] "Are these pe

Francine hurriedly rushed over to Jovan's home, a scowl on her face for the whole journey.She had always been rivals with Sheila ever since she joined the Hunt family. For years, she had never lost once, apart from comparing their daughters-in-law back then.Now, she was proud of her daughter-in-law as well. Not only did Renee have a successful career, she had even given birth to a pair of beautiful twins. That was surely enough to keep Sheila at the bottom for eternity."Sheila Campbell, what is your problem? It's seven in the morning! Did something great happen to my family that you just couldn't bear to watch in envy any longer?!" Francine ignored the maids' attempts at stopping her and barged right into the living room. She was clearly ready for a fight, and her aura was absolutely intimidating.Sheila then walked out of Jovan's room and stood by the staircase, mocking her. "I really am quite envious of what great things have been happening to your family recently. I mean, it

"So what? My daughter-in-law is a prodigy. She was the one who invented the G6 chip that will change the entire world! Your son is nothing compared to my daughter-in-law!"Seeing the two arguing so furiously, Renee and Jovan both let out a deep sigh."Jovan, this is your fault! Aren't you going to do something?" Renee nudged the man, pressuring him.If they continued on, she was worried Francine might reveal every single bit of her past. However, she had to admit that her ex-mother-in-law was quite protective of her. Anyone who didn't know her would mistake her as some kind of hardcore fan of Renee's.It was as if Francine had memorized every single thing she had done in research, along with her projects and achievements. Mentioning any of them would make her smile pridefully."Don't worry, leave this up to me." Jovan raised a brow at her and joined the fight nonchalantly, standing in between the two older women. "Ladies, ladies, stop fighting. One said I raped Renee, and the ot

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

After a while, a servant quickly came back with a bottle of wine tied with a piece of red cloth. "Sir, Madam, this bottle of white wine was brewed more than ten years ago. It comes with a rich taste and is strong. I'm sure it's suitable for Ms. Everheart to toast to everyone as a form of apology.""That's good. That's what I want." Rose accepted the heavy bottle of wine. Although it was yet to be unscrewed, she could smell its pungent scent. "I won't easily let anyone drink this. Plus… Believe it or not, a glass of this wine can knock out anyone here." Rose carried the bottle of wine and walked around the table. Finally, she stopped in front of Renee. "I'm letting a sinner like you enjoy such a great thing today. You must drink all of it. You can't waste it.""Huh? Does she have to drink it all? I'm afraid she'll vomit from drinking.""People will lose themselves with only three to five glasses of this wine. If they drink half of it, they might get alcohol poisoning no matter

If any Baldwin demanded an explanation from Renee, she would not resent them."Fine, I won't go easy on you since you said so." Rose laughed recklessly, looking malicious. Everyone knew Rose was fierce and malicious. But none of them said anything, including Justin. They behaved like onlookers and wanted to see how Rose would punish Renee. "Please go ahead." Renee nodded and sounded very calm. "Don't worry. Regardless, you were the only woman my dear grandnephew had loved and wanted to marry. So, I won't be harsh on you. If not, he won't forgive me." At that point, Rose purposely paused and wanted to see how Justin would react.However, Justin merely sat there indifferently and had no intention to get Renee out of the predicament. Hence, Rose became bolder. "Well, let's do this. You've wronged not only Justin but everyone in my family. Since you're here to apologize, you should toast to all of us. Then, we can forget about this."After that, Rose turned to Austin and asked
