Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 072
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

Annie's cheeks reddened further, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She didn't dare show her anger, instead forcing a look of hurt as she reached out to grab Carl's hand.Carl casually adjusted his sleeve, avoiding her touch."Carl, I'm your fiancée," Annie pleaded, her eyes glistening.Carl glanced at her coldly. "Yes, fiancée. Not wife."Annie's expression froze, and she stood there stunned.He leaned in slightly. "You're still an outsider. Renee, however, is legally the Grey family's second daughter. At the very least, she's not to be bullied by outsiders. As for our arrangement, we both know the truth."With that, Carl stuffed the number slip into Annie's hand and turned to leave.Annie looked on in disbelief. Unwilling to give up, she stood to follow Carl but was blocked by Jackson's outstretched arm."Ms. Simmons, please sit down.""Carl... Carl..."Unable to push past Jackson, Annie could only grit her teeth and sit back down.Looking at the slip, she realized it wa

She didn't blame Linda for her concerns."Travis, the weather has been quite unpredictable lately. Linda hasn't been feeling well. You should go check on her," Renee suggested, having already thought up an excuse.Travis looked at her with a wry smile. "Alright, I'll head out then.""Take care."After Travis left, Renee became aware of an unpleasant taste in her mouth. The lingering alcohol mixed with the rice pudding nearly made her gag. Despite changing into a hospital gown, the smell of spilled food and drink from earlier was becoming unbearable.Fortunately, she was familiar with the layout of this hospital from previous visits. Renee carefully got out of bed, took a couple of steps forward until she felt the wardrobe door, and opened it to find the clothes Susanne had brought her. She then made her way to the adjoining bathroom.Turning on the shower, she smoothed her hair and bent down, intending to wash it first. But due to her condition, it proved difficult.As she reach

Renee's disheveled hair fell across her forehead and back, making her appear vulnerable. Her face, wet from water, looked pale. Her pink lips, coated in moisture, resembled freshly washed grapes. Water droplets dripped down, soaking her hospital gown.The blue and white striped gown clung to her skin, revealing her elegant collarbone and the fullness beneath her light-colored undergarment in places she couldn't see.Unaware of the situation, Renee only noticed the man's heavy breathing. As he advanced, she stepped back until she had nowhere else to go.He stood before her, his domineering gaze undisguised, like a predator eyeing its prey. Renee held her breath, clutching the signet ring tightly as he raised his hand.Suddenly, a dry towel dropped onto her head."I'm leaving," he said hoarsely."Uncle Carl, your ring," Renee said, extending her hand with the signet ring.Carl grasped her hand, using it to slip the ring back onto his thumb. Renee couldn't understand his gesture. S

Renee wasn't surprised by this turn of events. After all, she had lived through it before in her past life. But going through it again brought her pain and sorrow.She had always tried to choose different paths, yet fate and power still seemed to haunt her like ghosts, controlling her every move.Renee pulled the comforter over herself, not wanting to deal with Carl any longer.Carl left the hospital room and made his way to the designated smoking area, his face expressionless. He took out a cigarette and tapped it thoughtfully against the pack.Before he could light it, Jackson approached."Mr. Grey, we've made progress on your request to investigate Ms. Lacey and Ms. Simmons," Jackson said, handing over a file.Holding the cigarette between his fingers, Carl opened the file.Jackson reported,"These are Ms. Simmons' competition designs submitted to the university, and behind are her previous designs."The styles were completely different.Jackson pointed to the submission dat

Tears welled up in Renee's eyes as she finished speaking.Her roommates, who had been indignant just moments ago, instantly fell into character and began to act in accordance with Renee's acting.Sandy choked up, "Renee, please don't be like this. We will actively cooperate with the treatment. You will get better soon, I'm sure.""That's right, the doctors here are excellent. You have to believe in them and in yourself," Dahlia added, covering her face, unable to bear the sight.Jenny remained silent, quietly wiping away tears, her emotions evident without words.Seeing how pessimistic they all appeared, Wendy realized that Renee's eyes were unlikely to recover. She sniffled, her slender frame trembling slightly, tears streaming down her face as she hugged Renee tightly."Renee, I don't believe it! You will be fine..."To anyone watching, it would seem that Wendy cared deeply for Renee.But Renee knew better. Wendy was only hugging her to hide the gleeful smile on her face.In

She raised her voice slightly. "I've also been accepted for an internship at Mandy Xander's studio," she said.Renee was momentarily stunned.Dahlia jumped up. "How is that possible? At least Renee and Annie got into Mandy's studio through the competition. How did you manage to get in?"Wendy shrank back, appearing hurt and scared, fidgeting with her skirt."I... I just happened to have this opportunity. I thought I'd give it a try, and surprisingly, I succeeded.""Renee, please don't be angry, okay?"Wendy cried softly, like a delicate white flower in the rain.Sandy glared at her. "Wendy! Stop talking! Didn't you hear what the doctor just said? Renee can't get emotionally worked up. Are you deliberately trying to upset her by saying these things now?"Wendy whimpered. "I really just got lucky, so I didn't have to work as hard as Renee. When Renee's eyes get better, we can work together. Isn't that great?"Got lucky? Didn't have to work as hard as Renee? When Renee's eyes get

When Renee first woke up, her vision was completely black. Gradually, though, white spots started to appear, followed by blurry silhouettes. By the time Wendy arrived, Renee could see people clearly.Her earlier behavior was just meant to tease Wendy, payback for drugging her milk.Renee lowered her finger and took a bite of the sesame ball. "You all should go about your day. I'm fine now.""But Wendy..." Jenny pointed silently at the door, looking concerned."This is a hospital. She won't dare try anything.""Alright then."The three of them tidied up and left the room.As soon as they were gone, Wendy returned. Her face had returned to normal, but she had an eerie smile.Renee continued pretending to be blind."Renee, the weather outside is lovely. Why don't I help you go for a walk? It might help you relax. Who knows, you might recover faster."Wendy approached the bed, yanked off Renee's blanket, and pulled her out of bed, ignoring her supposed blindness.Renee didn't re

Wedding dress?When Renee heard those two words, she couldn’t help but feel the irony.Counting the time Annie had tried on wedding dresses, this was the second time she was involved. And both times, it was for Carl’s fiancee.It was as if these weddings couldn’t happen without her as a witness.She glanced at Ruby, who was smiling radiantly, her joy pure and simple. Unlike Annie, Ruby wasn’t manipulative; her invitation was sincere.It was precisely because of this that Renee felt like the bad guy.She was about to come up with an excuse to refuse when her phone buzzed.A sudden sense of foreboding hit her.Sure enough, it was a message from Susanne.“Mr. Grey has asked me to help prepare for Carl and Miss Sanders’ engagement party.”The weight of it crushed her.Whether Susanne would offend both the Sanders and Grey families—or remain unharmed—all hinged on Renee’s response.Her hands trembled as she typed out a reply:“Got it.”Ruby seemed to notice something was off a

Ruby didn’t notice anything unusual about Renee’s demeanor. She pulled out her phone and said excitedly, “Look, we took so many photos! I’m thinking of using some of them for the engagement party and wedding. Can you help me pick a few?”Renee glanced at Ruby’s phone. The photos of Ruby and Carl, both smiling brightly, felt like tiny stabs.Ruby, a young woman nurtured by love and privilege, carried an effortless elegance. Her joy seemed pure and contagious. Her smile was magnetic, lighting up every photo.Even Carl, standing beside her, looked more at ease than usual. The two of them looked perfect together—every photo captured their harmony.Renee, on the other hand, felt awkward, unsure where to direct her gaze.“They’re all great. You two should decide,” she said with a forced smile, quickly steering the conversation elsewhere. “By the way, why did you come to see me?”Ruby clapped her hands as if just remembering. “Oh, right! I almost forgot, I got so excited. The tie clip y

Hearing her mention fire, Carl froze.His mind drifted to the dreams he’d had countless times—the little girl who hated him, and the ending that always played out the same. In every dream, the girl ran into the flames, holding the hand of a woman whose face was always blurred. The two of them would smile at each other before disappearing into the fire.Taking advantage of his hesitation, Renee broke free from Carl’s grip, putting a few steps of distance between them.Her voice trembled with a mix of anger and desperation. “Uncle Carl, I can’t win against you. I know that. But I’m still a person. Haven’t you and your father humiliated me enough? Do you really need everyone pointing at me, calling me trash, for you to finally be satisfied?”Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away.Carl reached out, but all he caught was the coat draped over her shoulders.Renee stopped briefly, pulling off the coat without looking back. She continued walking until her figure disappe

Carl didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and led her into the car.Outside the window, the scenery blurred as they drove, snow starting to fall again after some time. When the car finally stopped and the door opened, a fresh layer of snow blanketed the ground.As Renee stepped out, a cashmere coat was draped over her shoulders. The faint scent of Carl surrounded her, pulling her back into reality. She found herself standing in front of a villa.The sprawling garden, now blanketed in white, held a dreamlike beauty, hinting at how enchanting it must look when the flowers were in full bloom. Renee could almost picture it clearly.Because this was the house where she had set herself on fire in her previous life.Eight years of marriage had turned this beautiful home into a gilded cage.Staring at the house, her voice was icy as she asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”Carl’s gaze darkened slightly, his tone calm. “I’ll have someone pick up your belongings f

Joey assumed Renee had forgotten and went to the kitchen to retrieve the item. She placed it in front of her—a sleek yet extravagant men’s watch.Renee recognized it instantly. It was Carl’s watch.She knew because she had a matching women’s version.But she clearly remembered tidying up the kitchen the previous night, and the watch hadn’t been there. Unless… the person who had been with her during her fever was Carl.Levi hadn’t explicitly said the soup was his doing; she had simply assumed.As the dreamlike memories replayed in her mind, Renee’s hand trembled, spilling the ginger tea.Joey quickly grabbed some napkins to clean up. “What’s wrong?”Renee turned to the window, then suddenly grabbed the watch and dashed out.Inside the elevator, she watched the descending numbers, silently counting down. Her hand braced against the wall, her emotions a tangled mess. She had told herself over and over to let go, to stop pursuing this path.But she had to know the truth.She had

Joey pointed to Levi’s suit, drawing Renee’s attention to it. She suddenly realized that Levi’s suit was from the same brand as the one Carl had been wearing when he had brought her home, his face covered. Aside from a few subtle differences, they looked almost identical to the average person. Levi and Carl also had similar builds, which explained why Joey had mistaken him. “Joey, it’s not what you think,” Renee quickly tried to explain. But Joey wasn’t listening. She stood protectively in front of Renee, as though shielding her from making a bad decision. “Renee! You promised me you’d never go back to your ex!” “Ex?” Levi repeated thoughtfully, glancing at Renee with a faint smile tugging at his lips. Renee felt a wave of frustration, like she might faint from embarrassment despite being on the mend. Joey, oblivious, continued in a righteous tone, “Sir, what’s the point of showing up now? When Renee needed someone the most, you ignored her. Being sweet after the f

Warm water slid down Renee’s throat, easing the discomfort. She gradually calmed down as a gentle thumb brushed her lips, as if the person in front of her were handling something precious.He leaned closer, his heated breath falling softly on her face.Instinctively, Renee held her breath. Even though her vision was blurry, she could feel how close he was—so close that the slightest movement would bring their lips together.Just then, the medicine’s effect fully kicked in. Renee’s body went limp, and she collapsed onto the couch.The next moment, a tall figure leaned over, pulling her tightly into his arms. His heartbeat thudded steadily in her ears, a sound that was oddly comforting.In her half-conscious state, she felt a soft touch on her forehead.“Sleep,” a low voice murmured, deep and magnetic, lulling her into the darkness.When Renee opened her eyes again, she saw a white ceiling above her. She reached up to touch her forehead—thankfully, the fever had broken.But her b

“What do you mean by that? I’m not so old that I can’t run this family anymore!” Michael’s voice was sharp, his pride bristling. He hated being reminded of his age—it was his greatest fear.Carl’s tone was flat and unaffected. “Your health should come first.”Michael froze in his seat, his face turning pale with anger. But as a man who had managed the vast Grey family empire for years, he quickly regained his composure.He pulled out two documents and placed them in front of Carl, smoothly shifting the topic. “Here’s the list for the New Year’s gala invitations. Take a look.”Carl opened the list. It was almost identical to previous years—except for one addition: Susanne.“She’s your sister-in-law, after all,” Michael said coldly. “No matter what, she’s still part of the Grey family. Now that Linda is gone, it’s time for her to start contributing.”“Is that so?” Carl’s dark eyes locked onto Michael’s.Michael then gestured to the second document, his gaze sharp and calculating.

Carl sat silently through the night.At dawn, Ruby slowly opened her eyes. Seeing him still by her side, she felt both happy and guilty.Weakly, she said, “Carl, I’m sorry for making you stay with me all night.”Carl snapped out of his thoughts and slowly stood up. “I’ll get the doctor.”As he turned to leave, Ruby grabbed his hand.“Carl, I really like you. Can we be together? Of course, you can say no,” she said softly.Carl lowered his gaze to her, his expression unreadable. He gently pulled his hand away. “Let the doctor check on you first.”Watching him walk away, Ruby bit her pale lips, her eyes welling up.The doctor came to examine her and confirmed that she was out of danger. Soon after, she was transferred to a regular hospital room.Carl helped her lie down and said in a low voice, “Your brother will be here soon.”Ruby immediately grabbed his arm, her tone slightly anxious. “Carl, are you leaving?”“I got a message from home. I need to go back,” Carl replied, his
