Chapter 997

Author: Mizuki Sei
As Renee headed towards the parking lot, she found her head heavy, and she was feeling more disoriented the more she walked.

"Alright, everyone, get in position! And… action!"

Behind her was the director giving orders, followed by the sound of the clapperboard.

Shirley had already left the waiting area by then, and she now stood by the cliff for yet another shoot.

Amongst her dizziness, she noticed Shirley's long hair and white dress. It was rather odd, but she found her looking quite similar to Briar, who she accidentally pushed down this cliff three months ago.

Shirley and Briar's faces started merging into one, passing through the group of staff with an eerie smile. She was staring straight at her as blood started dripping out of the corners of her eyes and mouth…

"Ah! No! Don't come near me!" Renee screamed as she blacked out, falling straight to the ground.

After some time, as she regained consciousness slightly, she felt a bucket of ice-cold water poured onto her face.

I was following a idly this story as the storyline was interesting and well written. However my interest waned from the point that Renee's character became unfocus: not the strong, intelligent and alert like she is depicted. Her deep love for Stephan also contradicted her actions at this point.

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2681

    "Why would you even think that?" Xavier snapped.It was a relationship that was long over. Xavier never expected it to feel like a lingering sin to Leia, something she could never move past, something dragged out again and again to be punished.In the past, he would have explained patiently. He would have tried to reassure her and give her a sense of security. But after fighting over the same thing so many times, he was exhausted. It was to the point where he didn't even feel like explaining anymore.Leia shot back, "Why wouldn't I think that? Your relationship back then was so public and romantic. It was practically ripped straight out of a novel! So many people are still rooting for you two to get back together. Isn't that exactly because you loved her so much that everyone could see it so clearly?"Leia didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing that woman up again and again.Because in her world, everyone else did it for her.No matter where she went, someone alw

    "A breakup in disguise?"The moment Xavier heard those words, he froze. A complicated look flickered in his eyes."So, in your mind, breaking up is something you can just say whenever you want? Does that mean you actually want to break up?""What?"Leia was furious. Hearing that from him felt like he was pushing all the blame on her, and it caught her off guard."You've got some nerve! You're the one sneaking around to meet other women, and now you're accusing me of wanting to break up?""I met other women because I was curious how someone managed to beat my cousin so badly that he cried his eyes out. Even if those two were men, I still would've met them," Xavier said, completely unapologetic."Classic excuse from a jerk trying to justify himself."Leia clenched her fists, glaring at him through her anger."You're the one acting on your impulses, and now you're dressing it up with some fancy excuse. If you want to break up, just say it. Stop beating around the bush. I'm not afr

    Xavier became awkward and snapped his fingers. "I ordered a bottle of good wine. Since you're here, let's enjoy a great time… Come!" While talking, he naturally hugged Leia and walked toward the private room.However, it wasn't easy to fool Leia. She was struck dumb on the spot as she looked at Xavier solemnly. "You didn't make it clear. It's not over yet. Stop trying to muddle through."If Xavier knew it was two women beating his cousin up, he should try his best to avoid suspicion. It would be fine to let his subordinates handle it.However, he did not do so. Not only did he take it upon himself, but he also booked a private room and ordered good wine. It seemed like he wanted something to happen between them. Of course, Leia would not accept that. A sigh escaped Xavier. He answered honestly, "I was just curious. You know I'm a curious guy. I hope to lead an interesting life."Those words brought a pang to Leia's heart. She smiled. "You finally said it. You're at ease now.

    The men in black were Xavier's bodyguards who had worked for him for many years. Naturally, they were puzzled by his words.However, they would not disobey. Hence, they suppressed their power and put on a show with Leia."Ah, you beat me! Let me off!""Ah, I can't! You broke my arm. You beat me!"Naturally, the men pretended to be defeated by Leia. But Leia didn't have a great time. She pointed at the men and said, "Get up. Stop pretending. You don't have to let me have my way!""No, we didn't. We just can't beat you!" the leading man said sincerely."Nonsense! You're just mocking me!"Leia was no fool. She knew about her power. Although she felt that she could defeat them, they were not weak, either. Certainly, they obeyed Xavier's order and pretended to be weak.It was a humiliation for her, so she could not accept it. She wanted to keep fighting them."Boss, help! We don't know what to do!" They looked at Xavier pitifully. They had no idea if they should fight back or not

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2677

    Leia urged Renee to go home because she was worried that the latter might dissuade her when she tried to beat up those men vigorously.Besides, she was the one who had asked Renee out for a drink that night. If she delayed Renee and caused Renee trouble, she would be sad."Where is he? I'll go with you now." Leia got into the car driven by them. The car sped fast in the night. Renee reacted a little too slowly and could only see the rear of the car."Lei! Hey, wait for me!" Renee followed and waved frantically. However, it was futile. "This girl is so reckless. How could she get into a stranger's car in the middle of the night? She didn't even consider the consequences." Renee instantly got worried.Ordinary gangsters would not be bold enough to do anything to Leia, given her status in Beach City. But if she bumped into any bold or reckless people, the consequences would be unimaginable, given Leia's bad temper. At the thought of that, Renee could not lie idle. She hurr

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2676

    Not long after Renee and Leia exited the bar, a few men in black stopped them. "Ladies, did you know who you just beat up?"The men got out of the car. The leading man was considered respectful."He's just a feminine gangster. Why? Was it not enough? Do you want us to beat him up again?" Leia demanded coldly. She had not had a chance to hit that man and was so frustrated that she needed a place to vent her anger. Since they came to her, she was overjoyed."Calm down. We mean well. But the person you hit is the cousin of our boss. We need to explain what just happened," the man said calmly. It seemed like he did not want to fight them."What do you propose?" Renee asked the men."Yeah, we've got the power and means to do so if you want to." Leia pulled Renee backward and blinked at the latter. "You can't snatch the chance away from me again. After all, we made some negative news. It won't get any worse.""Fine, I'll listen to you. Just resolve it anyway you want. I won't meddl
