Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 065
Unfortunately, the last person Renee wanted to ask for help in this life was Carl.She pulled her gaze away, looked at the glass of liquor in front of her, and without hesitation, tilted her head back and drank it all.Carl's hand froze on his teacup, his presence radiating a cold, forbidding aura.However, the three men in front of Renee didn't notice the shift in atmosphere and instead burst into laughter."Renee, you sure can hold your liquor! Here, have another!""If you drank theirs, you must drink mine too! Otherwise, it's like you're disrespecting me!"And so, Renee was forced to down three large glasses of strong liquor in quick succession. The burning sensation in her throat left her speechless, her hands trembling from the effort of trying to maintain control.Her cheeks flushed a deep red, making her already beautiful face resemble a ripe cherry, glistening with a tempting sheen. The men around her stared at her with predatory eyes, like wolves circling their prey.T

After what felt like an eternity, Carl finally released Renee. She slumped against the wall, breathing heavily. Her flushed lips trembled with each breath, pushing Carl's self-control to its limits. He leaned in again, but Renee turned her face away forcefully."Uncle Carl, what are you trying to do? "Uncle Carl, what exactly are you trying to do? Slap me with one hand and offer candy with the other?""What do you mean?"Carl lifted his hand slowly to wipe the blood from his lips, clearly feeling the sting from her bite. It was obvious that she was genuinely angry.Furious at his indifferent tone, Renee glared at him. "Uncle Carl, how can you ask that? Do I really need to spell out everything you've done for Annie? If you love her so much, why do you treat me like this? Am I so worthless in your eyes that you can use and trample on me whenever you want?""Can you two please leave me out of your love story? I have absolutely no interest in it!""Thanks for the hangover remedy, Unc

Renee glanced at Annie, who appeared drunken and dazed, feeling somewhat disoriented herself. Since the principal and the others had already departed, she decided to treat this drink as her last before finding an excuse to leave. She assumed that, after taking a sobering pill, a small glass of alcohol wouldn't be an issue.As she prepared to take a drink, the door to the room swung open behind her. Carl walked in, emitting a chilling aura, causing the three men to immediately tone down their behavior.One of the men, eager to please, asked, "Mr. Grey, what happened to your lip? Are you alright?"Carl casually touched his lip and replied pointedly, "It was bitten."Renee's cheeks flushed upon hearing his words.Believing that he must have accidentally bitten his own lip, the three men did not dwell on it. Instead, they gestured towards Annie, who was resting her head on her hand."Mr. Grey, it appears that Ms. Simmons has had too much to drink."Upon hearing this, Carl walked ove

"You! You fucking bitch!""I suggest you watch your tone," Renee responded coldly. "Oh, and by the way, I was recording while you were forcing me to drink. The video is with my roommate. If I don't show up at the dorm on time, this recording will be all over the news tomorrow. You've worked hard for years to build your careers—wouldn't want to throw it all away because of me, would you?"The three men exchanged glances, but they weren't too worried. One of them sneered, "Tonight was a celebration dinner. We came out of respect for the principal. A little drinking is only natural. Besides, we can easily claim that you hinted you were interested."Another man added with a laugh, "Look at the way you're dressed—clearly, you came here to seduce us! People online don't care about a woman being mistreated; they love stories of women who bring it upon themselves."The last man chimed in, "There are three of us and only one of you. Do you really think people will believe you, a woman just

Hospital.When Renee woke up, a sense of panic engulfed her. She was in complete darkness, with only the distant sound of footsteps audible."Who's there?!" she shouted, her voice hoarse. In a state of fear, she blindly grabbed an object and threw it towards the sound.Her frantic actions stunned everyone in the room.Suddenly, a choked sob broke the silence, and a figure hurriedly approached."Renee, Renee, what's wrong? It's Mom!" Susanne cried, tears streaming down her face.Renee's hand froze mid-air, fear trembling in her voice. "Mom, where are you? Why can't I see you?"Susanne's eyes widened in horror. Forgetting her own tears, she called out desperately, "Renee! Don't scare me like this!"Renee stared into empty space, her voice trembling, "Mom..."The room fell into a suffocating silence.Then, with anguished sobs, Susanne screamed, "Doctor! Doctor!"The doctor who arrived was a friend of Carl's. After a thorough examination, his expression grew increasingly grave,

Seeing the two greasy, ugly men standing there, Susanne couldn't even begin to imagine the fate of any young woman who might fall into their hands."Officer," Susanne said firmly, "we demand a thorough investigation!"The faces of the two men turned pale when they heard this. The bruises and swelling on their faces made them look even more sinister and frightening. Though they had some notoriety, they were nothing compared to the power of the Grey family. How could they possibly fight back?The two exchanged glances, then decided to throw caution to the wind. With a hint of desperation, they said, "Mrs. Grey, we're men, and after drinking, we couldn't resist when we were tempted. We made a mistake, but for the sake of everyone's reputation, we hope you can be lenient."Susanne's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice rising sharply. "Tempted? Are you trying to say that my daughter seduced the three of you?"The men hesitated, then nodded awkwardly. "Yes, it was Ms. Lacey's intention

"Not a big deal?"Renee let out a cold laugh, her gaze dropping as she spoke. "Officer, you've heard it yourselves. They're denying everything. Ms. Simmons here has even vouched for them. As the accuser, I demand that these three produce evidence to refute the evidence I will provide.""And especially," she added, "I want to see the evidence they claim proves I was 'seducing' or 'tempting' them.""And let's not forget. Ms. Simmons was so sure in her accusations that I was trying to climb the ladder by taking shortcuts. Where is her proof?""You're all law enforcement. I trust your body cams are recording everything they're saying. They can't change their story now, can they?Her words left the three men dumbfounded, their faces paling as they grasped the gravity of the situation. Annie, who had been sitting smugly just moments ago, now looked utterly shocked. What was once a safe position suddenly felt perilous, and it was clear that none of them would escape unscathed.The offic

As Annie wiped away her tears, she inched closer to Carl, her gaze warning the two men to remember whose woman she was.The two men felt their breath catch in their throats and a chill run down their spines as they recalled their companion lying unconscious in a hospital bed. They would rather die than cross Carl Grey, as their lives would be worse than death.With no other choice, they bowed their heads and apologized, "We're sorry, Ms. Lacey. We were drunk and let our desires get the better of us. Please forgive us.""Forgive you?" Renee scoffed coldly. "If I forgive you today, you'll just think you can get away with it. And who knows who your next victim will be? What happened today is your own doing. You chose to believe the wrong words, and now you're paying the price."Her words were laced with sarcasm, causing Annie's face to tighten in barely concealed anger, though she didn't dare speak out. The two desperate men, realizing their careers were on the line, ignored the polic

Renee grabbed Jack's hand just as he began to sink.His little face had turned ghostly white with fear."Don't be scared, I've got you."Renee soothed him while supporting his chin.Though only six or seven, he felt heavy, especially with his water-logged clothes. Even as an adult, she struggled.Fortunately, her light dress allowed her arms to move freely.Despite the cold, she gritted her teeth and pushed through.Renee finally managed to swim to the bank with the child, where his mother reached out tearfully."Miss, give me your hand!""Take the child first."Renee felt her strength failing, unsure how much longer she could hold him.His mother thanked her repeatedly while pulling her frozen child to safety.As she reached back for Renee, a thick branch suddenly floated downstream, striking Renee's shoulder.She grunted in pain, her numbed arm releasing the mother's hand as the branch swept her into the current."Miss! Help!" the mother screamed from the bank.Renee s

As Chris said, most people her age operated at 90% energy levels.She barely managed half.He'd even warned her to preserve what little she had.Perhaps this was the cost of her second chance at life.Renee composed herself, trying to stay focused.Carl gestured forward. "Let's move ahead.""Excellent choice, Mr. Grey. Our rare gemstone collection is there," Mr. Declan said eagerly.Carl nodded, walking past Renee.Suddenly, something warm pressed into her palm, startling her.When the others passed, she opened her hand.A pink hand warmer, about the size of her palm.Why would Carl carry something like this?"Renee." Mr. Declan called from ahead."Coming."Renee clutched the warmer and hurried to catch up.The gemstone gallery was dimly lit, with only display spotlights illuminating the cases, leaving everyone in shadows.Renee stood at the edge, politely applauding Mr. Declan's presentation.Through the shifting crowd, a cool presence approached, warm breath at her

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
Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 324
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
