Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 010
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

Renee reluctantly followed Carl to Annie's apartment.Upon exiting the elevator, they were met with a shocking scene - bloodstains scattered on the floor and red paint smeared on the door.Before Renee could react, Carl rushed into the apartment. She heard a man's agonized scream and Annie's sobbing."Carl! I'm so scared! I'm afraid..."Annie's cries snapped Renee back to reality, and she quickly entered the apartment.Inside, she saw a man lying on the floor, his face contorted in anger, blood dripping from his mouth, and tightly gripping a knife.Annie, on the other hand, cradled her bleeding arm as she weakly leaned into Carl's embrace, her face filled with sorrow.The man continued to curse Annie, calling her derogatory names and accusing her of promiscuity.Annie pleaded, "No, no, I'm not like that..."The man laughed coldly, "Don't lie! That's what everyone online is saying! Someone told me you're easy to sleep with! Besides, men are coming in and out of your apartment e

Levi stepped out of the car first and extended his hand toward Renee.Renee shifted in her seat, gripping the edge of the car door. “I can manage on my own.”Levi didn’t lower his hand. “Have you forgotten? Today, you’re my date.”Hearing that, Renee hesitated but eventually placed her hand in his. After all, she’d already signed the million-dollar contract. When Mandy found out, she’d even doubled her bonus, so Renee felt compelled to take her role seriously.She stepped out of the car slowly, but her new high heels felt unsteady. She wobbled, and before she knew it, she stumbled toward Levi.He caught her waist effortlessly. “I’ll have Joe buy you some flats. You’re tall enough; no need to torture yourself with these.”“Thank you,” Renee said, flashing a grateful smile.Just then, a familiar voice called out from across the driveway.“Levi? Renee?”Renee froze, her body stiffening. She turned slowly, almost dreading what she’d see.There they were—Ruby, arm in arm with Carl

At the very least, his future partner should be prettier than Renee, right? But, that would be a tough find.After exchanging phone numbers with Levi, Renee stood to leave.Levi, ever the gentleman, offered, “Shall I give you a ride?”Renee smiled politely. “You’re my client. It wouldn’t be appropriate. I’ll grab a cab. Take care.”Watching her walk away, Levi chuckled softly. She was intriguing.His phone buzzed.“Levi, how did the blind date go?” came his sister's teasing voice.“Which one?” Levi asked, his smile widening as he thought of Renee.“You’re smiling, aren’t you? Looks like it worked out.”“You’ll find out tomorrow.”“Promise me one thing,” his sister continued, her tone turning serious. “Don’t make things difficult for them. I don’t want to use my situation to guilt anyone.”Levi’s gaze turned cold momentarily, but he softened for his sister’s sake. “I understand.”The next morning, Renee woke early to get ready. She took extra care with her appearance, her ex

The table fell silent for a moment.Renee stared at the man in front of her, trying to gauge if he was joking. Before she could respond, the manager hurried over.“Apologies, the server mixed up the table numbers. This is actually table 26.”Renee turned to look at the man seated at table 27, who was clearly waiting. Feeling embarrassed, she glanced back at the man across from her. “Sorry about the confusion. Best of luck with your blind date.”The man’s tailored suit and expensive demeanor screamed wealth—someone she couldn’t afford to offend. Without waiting for a response, Renee quickly got up and moved to the correct table.She apologized to her client before settling in.Meanwhile, a woman dressed in the latest runway fashion took Renee’s former seat at table 26. As soon as she sat down, she began talking.“You look decent, but plenty of wealthy men chase after me. Let’s cut to the chase: unless you’re buying a million dollar house under my name, I’m not interested.”Renee

Ruby’s message pinged on Renee’s phone:"You don’t know either? Back in college, so many girls pursued him, but he ignored everyone. After the car accident, he suddenly changed, claiming he liked someone. I was still recovering in the hospital then and felt heartbroken when I heard that."That person must be you.Renee typed the response but deleted it immediately. It wasn’t her place to conclude such things. If Carl wanted to express his feelings, that should be his decision.Instead, she replied honestly:"You know how things were between my mom and my uncle. I didn’t move into the Grey family home until after Carl returned from college. I really don’t know.""I forgot about that—sorry.""No worries, I need to get back to work now.""Alright."Renee set her phone aside and stared blankly at her computer screen. Despite sitting there for ages, her design sketch wasn’t coming together.Her thoughts were interrupted when Mandy walked in. She gently tapped Renee on the shoulder,

Carl responded distractedly with a brief hum before walking away.Through the car window, Ruby watched his figure grow smaller, an unsettling emptiness welling in her chest. She suddenly clutched her chest and began to cough.Jackson, sitting in the driver’s seat, quickly handed her a bottle of water. “Miss Sanders, are you alright?”“I’m fine, just caught a chill,” Ruby replied, nervously fiddling with the bottle cap. “Mr. Chancer, did I say something wrong just now?”Jackson remained composed as ever. “Not at all. Mr. Grey is just always busy with work.”“I see,” Ruby murmured, though her worry lingered.After dropping Ruby off, Jackson returned to Carl’s downtown penthouse. While sorting through some company files, he heard the door open. When Carl walked in, Jackson’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Mr. Grey… is that…?”Carl shot him a cold glance and handed over a bag.“Send it for dry clean.”“Yes, sir.”Mandy’s new product launch was a resounding success, even drawing co

Patrick’s face grew solemn after hearing Renee’s words. He understood the unspoken meaning behind them: from now on, they wouldn’t even count as family—no ties, no obligations.“Renee, I’m sorry.”“Uncle, please take care of my mom,” Renee said with a smile, entrusting him with the task.Susanne wanted to scold her daughter, but the memory of the three of them huddled in the kitchen eating earlier in the day stopped her. She finally realized it was her own presence that had made life so difficult for Renee, forcing her to endure humiliation again and again.Susanne mustered a smile. “Take care of yourself.”“I will.” Renee slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out without looking back.Moments later, the butler entered the kitchen.“Mr. Patrick, Madam Susanne, Miss Sanders is leaving.”“Understood. We’ll come right away.” Patrick straightened his clothes and took Susanne’s hand as they walked out together.The butler quickly added, “Master requested Miss Lacey to join in

Carl’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing with a piercing coldness. “Renee,” he said, his voice low but sharp.Renee met his gaze head-on. “You really didn’t notice what Michael did today? Watching my mom and me struggle pointlessly—is that entertaining to you? I’m tired of playing these games with you. That night was long over, Uncle Carl.”Her words carried a finality. Between them, there would always be only that polite “Uncle Carl.”A glint of ice flickered in Carl’s eyes before he turned and strode toward the trash bin.Renee watched his retreating figure, her emotions a tangled mess. She wasn’t sure if she wanted him to retrieve the bag or to just leave it there. But with each step he took toward the trash bin, her heart clenched tighter.Just as Carl was about to stop the maid from disposing of the trash, a sharp cry echoed from the garden path.He turned toward the sound, and so did Renee.Ruby, wearing her prosthetic leg, had tripped over a stone slab and fallen to

Ruby looked at Carl and quickly shook her head. “I didn’t save Carl expecting anything in return. Back then, it wouldn’t have mattered who was in that car—I’d have done the same.”Her tone was sincere, without a hint of pretense.Michael observed her with approval and nodded. “Ruby, it’s Carl’s fortune to have someone like you in his life.”“Mr. Grey, with praise like that, I don’t even know how to respond,” Ruby said, blushing slightly as she instinctively leaned closer to Carl’s side.Her feelings for him were obvious to everyone at the table, and no one objected.Even with her disability, Ruby was seen as a symbol of virtue—she had sacrificed herself for Carl, and bringing her into the family would be a gesture of honor for the Greys. Add her prestigious family background to the equation, and the match seemed perfect.Ruby glanced at Carl’s chiseled profile, her gaze filled with anticipation, hoping he might say something in response.But Carl merely picked up the fruit platt

Renee washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves, ready to help Susanne in the kitchen. But just as she was about to start, Patrick walked in, shrugging off his coat."Alright, you two, go eat. I'll take care of things here," he said."Thank you, darling," Susanne replied with a smile that made her eyes crinkle."Thanks, Uncle," Renee chimed in before taking two bowls of soup and sitting down at the small table to eat.The soup was unlike anything she’d had before—rich and comforting.Susanne and Patrick exchanged a few affectionate words before joining her. As soon as Susanne sat down, she snatched Renee’s bowl and gulped down the rest of the soup."I'm parched! Anyway, I found out everything you wanted to know," Susanne said, her tone playful."Found out what? Mom, when did I ask you to investigate anything?" Renee looked at her in confusion."About Ruby," Susanne said, lowering her voice as if sharing a juicy secret.Intrigued, Renee stayed silent, letting her continue."R
