Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 009
Renee left the office without looking back.After the incident with the Grey family, she knew she had to stay one step ahead of Annie.When she heard Annie crying to Carl on the phone about being slandered, she knew Annie and Wendy had made their move.Wendy knew too much about her.Including her diary.After her night with Carl, a diary revealing her supposed obsession and drugging scheme immediately appeared online. It must have been Wendy's doing.So she had quietly switched notebooks early on.As she was thinking, a figure caught up with her from behind. It was Wendy.Along the way, Wendy observed Renee hesitantly, seemingly wanting to speak.Renee, on the other hand, remained calm, showing no signs of having just been betrayed.As they neared the dormitory, Wendy couldn't hold back anymore.She grabbed Renee's arm and said timidly, "Renee, I'm sorry. You know my family is poor and I'm a coward. I can't afford to offend someone like Annie. When they threatened me, I had

Just as Renee's heart was about to leap out of her chest, Carl moved his face away, glancing at the couple behind the tree."Can I help you?" His tone was cold and impatient.Recognizing Carl, the couple quickly bowed their heads respectfully. "We're sorry, Mr. Grey. We'll leave right away."They hurried off.As their footsteps faded, Renee let out a small sigh of relief.She tried to push Carl away, but he gripped her wrist."Go pack your things. I've told Jackson to wait for you in the parking lot. He'll take you to the apartment."His deep voice was filled with non-negotiable command.Renee stiffened, her long lashes trembling as she struggled to control her emotions.In his eyes, she wasn't a person.She was just an obedient doll, to be manipulated and discarded at will.Gritting her teeth, she forcefully broke free from his grip."No need. If you're worried, we can go to the hospital for a check-up in a month."Carl narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing acros

Sensing someone watching her, Renee turned her head and saw Carl standing there. He was dressed sharply in a black suit, his long fingers resting against his temple. The ring on his hand glinted ruthlessly in the sunlight.Annie stood close to Carl, whispering something to him. They were standing close to each other, and Carl's face displayed a rare, gentle expression.Renee looked away, trying to maintain her composure as she lowered her hand."Thank you," she said."You're welcome," Carl replied, glancing in the direction that Renee had been looking. "That's Mr. Grey, isn't it? How devoted he is to his fiancée, personally picking her up."Indeed.Everyone could see Carl's love for Annie.Everyone except her foolish past self, who had waited for him, loved him.Renee was about to nod when Susanne tugged at her arm."Since we've run into them, go say hello to your Uncle Carl," she urged."No," Renee shook off her hand, turning to leave."You stubborn girl..." Susanne began,

Calvin pulled Renee back, and as she felt herself losing consciousness, she clenched her fist tightly. Her nails dug into her palm, the pain jolting her back to reality.She needed to save herself!Renee reached for the door handle to steady herself, her eyes scanning for anything she could use. The crystal ornament on the dashboard caught her attention. However, each time she tried to grab it, she fell short.Gritting her teeth, she resisted Calvin's pull, her fingers inching closer to the crystal ornament. Finally, she managed to snatch it off the non-slip mat and swung it backward with all her might.With a thud, Calvin groaned and loosened his grip on her.Seizing the moment, Renee hit the car door unlock button and stumbled out of the car.The autumn night, illuminated by the bright moon, felt like a blade slicing into her as she struggled to run forward. She had barely taken a few steps when she felt a hand choking her from behind. Resisting, she had her hair grabbed and he

When Renee woke up, a female police officer in uniform was sitting by her bed.The officer smiled gently, instantly putting Renee at ease."You're awake. Would you like some water?" The officer stood up and thoughtfully poured her a glass. "You only have some minor external injuries, nothing serious.""Thank you," Renee said, propping herself up to accept the glass.Even now, she was still trembling from the ordeal.The officer watched her, not immediately questioning her until Renee had calmed down a bit."Calvin is fine too, but you two have conflicting stories, so I need your statement," the officer explained.Renee paused mid-sip. "Conflicting stories? What do you mean?"How could there be any conflict when everything seemed so clear-cut?The officer replied honestly, "Calvin claims he was only aggressive because he had too much to drink. He produced a psychological evaluation from abroad. He also said... you willingly went to dinner and a movie with him, so he thought you were con

Michael was already furious, but his anger escalated when he saw his son's incompetence. He raised his hand, as if he wanted to strike Patrick's head, and shouted, "How did I end up with such a useless son? No brains! No backbone! Letting a woman lead you around! If you had even half of Carl's intelligence, we wouldn't be in this mess!"Patrick's expression darkened further.Renee withdrew her hand from the doorknob, realizing that leaving now would only further embarrass Patrick, who had always been kind to her. She couldn't bear to do that.Just then, a calm, deep voice cut in.A tall, dark figure approached with measured steps, composed and reserved.His handsome face was devoid of expression, and his eyes showed a touch of coldness."Dad, Calvin is fine now. There's no point in berating Patrick," Carl said calmly."I want to do more than just berate him! The Hendersons want an explanation. If this scandal gets out, where will the Grey family hide their faces? It all comes do

The police acted efficiently, wasting no time in presenting the settlement agreement to Renee after she agreed to settle. One of the officers was the female officer who had taken Renee's statement earlier. Kindly, she reminded Renee, "Are you sure you've thought this through?" Renee's hand trembled slightly as she held the pen and with a bitter smile, she said, "I'm sure. Let's just get it over with." She felt she had no choice but to go along with everything, feeling like nothing more than a pawn in someone else's control. Without giving herself a chance to reconsider, Renee quickly signed her name. The officer sighed, took the agreement, and left.Shortly after, Susanne entered the room carrying a basket of fruits. Their eyes met, and Susanne's were rimmed with red from guilt. "Renee..." she began. "I know everything. Is Patrick okay?" Renee asked. Susanne wiped her tears, sighing as she took out the fruits from the basket. "He's fine, just received a scolding. You know ho

At the university gates early in the morning, there weren't many people around.Exhausted, Renee was forcefully pulled into Carl's car despite her struggles. No matter how hard she tried to resist, a strong force continued to pull her back.Looking up, she realized that he seemed to be playing with her, as if her resistance was just a ploy to attract him.Finally, she gave up and let her arms drop.Carl pulled her close, lifted her face, and gently touched her reddened forehead."Looks like you haven't learned your lesson. Why did you leave the hospital?" he asked casually, as if he hadn't been the one pushing her to settle outside the hospital room.Renee stared at him, feeling like she couldn't understand him even after two lifetimes.Seeing her silence, Carl gripped her chin more firmly.She felt like a doll in his hands, manipulated at his will.Feeling humiliated, Renee gritted her teeth and forcefully slapped his hand away.The sound echoed loudly in the car.A tense s

Meanwhile.Mandy stood with Mr. Declan waiting for VIP guests, checking her phone three times without reaching Renee."Miss Xander, where's Renee? Wasn't she joining us?" Mr. Declan asked.Mandy smiled awkwardly. "She..."Suddenly, Annie appeared, positioning herself beside Mr. Declan."Renee said she wasn't feeling well and won't come."Mr. Declan frowned but said nothing, tacitly accepting Annie's presence.Though being stood up by a newcomer clearly displeased him.Annie smirked triumphantly.Just then, Renee's voice came from behind."Who said I wasn't coming?"The crowd parted as Renee appeared in a red high-slit gown, like a flame burning into everyone's vision.The shimmering fabric made her skin look like snow.Uniquely adorned with wide mesh overlay and scattered crystals.Her eyes peeked through, utterly enchanting.Annie's smile twitched.Renee smiled at her. "Miss Simmons, you must have misheard. I said I was coming right over."She edged Annie aside and tu

Luckily, Renee spotted Annie's movement in the mirror and dodged just in time.But Annie grabbed her shoulder strap and slashed.Click, click...Pearls scattered across the floor.The dress, held up by the straps, began to slip.Renee clutched her chest and stumbled backward.Annie lifted her chin proudly, smirking as she tossed the razor in the trash, then switched to a shocked expression."Oh my! Renee, how clumsy! You can't be seen like this. Better rest - don't embarrass Miss Xander. I'll take your place with Mr. Declan."With a raised eyebrow, she walked out smiling.Clutching her dress, Renee realized Annie hadn't meant to hurt her - just ruin her dress to humiliate her.She quickly crouched to gather the pearls, hoping to salvage the situation.But the building was historic, with original stone flooring - many pearls had disappeared into the cracks.She found barely a dozen, not enough for one strap.Hearing footsteps, Renee hurried out, holding her dress.She need

During the drive, Renee noticeably relaxed, feeling those watchful eyes no longer on her.The jewelry exhibition was held in a century-old cultural center on the outskirts of town, perfectly preserved inside and out.To maintain the building's historic charm, they'd skipped the red carpet. Even the press conference was held in an open courtyard.Everyone shivered in the cold while maintaining elegant smiles.Mandy joked it was "suffering for art," though everyone had secretly plastered heat packs under their formal wear.After the press conference, they moved into the warm interior.The theme was "Culture and Nature."Creative pieces lined the entrance.Beyond the standard luxury display cases, jewelry took various artistic forms.Gradient gemstone leaves and flowers, a spectacular diamond necklace designed like fireworks, and jewelry butterflies suspended on fishing lines.As Renee admired the displays, Mandy's voice brought her back.Mandy introduced a man to her and Annie

"Renee, the street food market's near the hotel. You should try the local dishes.”Renee completely lost her appetite.So Carl had gone out late at night to gather food for Annie?And stayed in her room to avoid giving his cold to delicate Annie?Renee found it laughable, yet this was exactly what Carl would do for Annie in her past life.She put down her half-eaten toast and gulped down milk."Miss Xander, I'm full. I'll go prepare for later.""Yes. I should go too - the stylist will arrive soon."Mandy also didn't want to hear Annie's chatter.As they left, Annie smiled behind her coffee cup.At the restaurant entrance, Renee ran into Carl entering with two middle-aged men.They briefly locked eyes before Renee turned away without a second glance.Annie's sweet voice drifted after them."Carl, you're here. I'm not very hungry, but I'll keep you company?""Mm."Carl put his arm around Annie and left with the men....Back in her room.Renee found the AC fixed, the ro

Carl gazed at Renee with dark eyes, like a predator ready to strike.Her breath caught. Her fair skin, flushed from the hot shower, had a rosy tint.Her misty eyes held an alluring gleam.He leaned down slowly, less demanding than usual, almost cautious.Renee stared back, mind blank, forgetting to resist.But just as Carl drew near, her nose twitched, and clarity returned.She pushed him away and turned, sneezing."Achoo!"After sneezing, Renee grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose.When she discarded it, she felt warmth - Carl had covered her with a blanket.Carl lay back, eyes closed, his voice husky. "Sleep."Renee rubbed her nose, curling up carefully at the edge of the bed.She'd make do for now - after such an eventful day, she had no energy left.Renee fell asleep almost instantly, but it was too cold.Especially with the warmth radiating from behind her while her side of the bed remained chilly.The contrast made for restless sleep.As she drifted uncomfortably, a

Warm water cascaded over his broad shoulders, droplets spraying, his body wrapped in a misty sheen.Water dripped from his tousled hair and clung to his long lashes. His half-closed eyes held a dangerous glint.Water traced the defined lines of his abs before disappearing below the towel, which seemed to conceal as much as it revealed.Renee instinctively backed away, but there was nowhere to go.She pressed her cool palm against his chest through the water.The contact burned, and when she tried to pull back, he caught her hand."Why are you so cold?""The AC outside seems broken," Renee said flatly.Annie had arranged the room. Renee had noticed issues when she arrived.On the shaded side, the AC fluctuated between hot and cold.The front desk claimed no other rooms were available, offering only a $200 voucher as compensation.Brookshire was colder than the capital - she'd need a thick coat to sleep without heating.Obviously Annie had done this deliberately, but who'd be

Renee hesitated for a moment, but before she could close the door, Carl had already stepped inside.As the door clicked shut, she came to her senses and blocked his path."This is just a standard room with one bed. There's nowhere for you to sleep.""It wouldn't be the first time we've shared a bed."Carl casually moved her arm aside and walked into the room.Renee blushed, suddenly remembering her clothes scattered on the bed. She rushed over to hastily cover them with the blanket.Sitting on the covered clothes, she gestured around. "Uncle, as you can see, it's quite basic here. You should go back - your romantic rendezvous awaits.""My romantic rendezvous? How thoughtful of you."Carl leaned against the TV cabinet, hands in pockets, his tone neutral.Renee gripped the blanket beneath her and pointed to the door. "Uncle Carl, please leave."The room fell silent for a moment. Then the bed dipped, making a soft rustling sound.Renee looked up to find his warm breath on her f

"Handcuffs come in pairs," Renee said without thinking.The vendor caught on immediately and pulled out another bracelet, snapping it onto Carl's wrist."See! A matching pair! Hold hands and you're handcuffed together."Renee suddenly realized Carl had been holding her hand since the shooting game.She tried to pull away unsuccessfully, then snapped, "You said that on purpose?"Carl didn't deny it, just led her away. "These things are ugly."Ugly, yet he'd tricked the vendor into giving him a matching one.The cheap bracelet looked absurd next to his million-dollar watch.Renee turned around - the men who'd been following her had vanished.She looked at Carl. "Who were they? You must know."Carl paused, his voice cold. "Don't worry about it."“I’ve got to know. If I don’t protect myself, who will?” Renee said angrily."I..."Carl's words faded in and out among the bustling crowd.Renee thought she heard him, but wasn't sure.When she came to, they were in front of a nood

Seeing Renee's poor condition, Mandy offered some comforting words before suggesting she get some rest.Neither mentioned the day's events, though they both understood.Back in her room, Renee couldn't sleep.Mark had said she was sold.By whom?Annie clearly knew something when she appeared, but she'd been with Carl the whole time.And what were those confusing fragments in her mind?Try as she might, she had no such memories from either life.The more she thought, the more complex it became, until she realized she was hungry.She picked up the room service menu, but everything was over a hundred dollars.Although Patrick had given her a card, she needed to save for her future.After some thought, she got dressed.Online reviews raved about downtown Brookshire's street food market.A quick search yielded countless recommendations.Renee took an Uber to the nearest food district.The aroma of street food lifted her mood as she checked her phone for recommended spots."S
