Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 152
Annie clutched the USB drive tightly. She had achieved her goal, so the means didn't matter anymore."Be more careful in the future. I got you this job, yet you're not even as competent as Lucy. At least she has colleagues speaking up for her. You got a free ride, and look at you...""I'm sorry," Wendy mumbled, hanging her head.Tired of wasting words on her, Annie walked past Wendy into the office.A moment later, Wendy slowly raised her eyes, filled with sharp venom. As she turned, she almost bumped into Lucy.Lucy said nothing and walked away, but halfway through, she suddenly turned back and smiled at Wendy.Wendy felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest, but when she tried to confirm what she saw, Lucy was already gone.Was it just her imagination?An hour later, in the conference room, Ms. Johnson exchanged pleasantries with Mandy before sitting down."Let's begin. I have other matters to attend to later.""Alright."Mandy nodded, looking at Lucy, who was up first.

As Annie made her insinuation, colleagues around the conference table turned to stare at Renee, some clearly anticipating a spectacle.Renee slowly stood up, steadying herself on the table. "I'm sorry, but I have pins and needles in my leg.""Thank you for your concern, Miss Simmons. Like you, I've also prepared a digital version."At these words, Annie's face froze for a moment as she stared intently at Renee pulling out a USB drive.Compared to Annie's surprise, Lucy's expression was more intriguing. She remained calm and composed.Of course, she had taken Renee's design idea. Unless Renee had a burst of inspiration in the last hour, she couldn't possibly present a good design.But when the design fully appeared on the screen, Lucy's pupils dilated in disbelief.Renee confidently explained, "My theme is... water.""Everyone knows Ms. Johnson's expeditious work style, but the rain at the estate showed me her gentle side.""So, I designed this set using the state of falling ra

"Yes, I won't disappoint you, Ms. Johnson."Annie slowly stood up, giving a slight nod, her smile filled with subtle mockery towards Ms. Johnson.She had said it before—Ms. Johnson could only choose her design.Wearing jewelry that symbolized her late husband's lover at grand galas must really infuriate Ms. Johnson, right?But what of it?She was Carl's woman, after all.Lucy, hearing the result, couldn't keep her composure: "Impossible! Ms. Johnson, how could you choose her design? She clearly..."Ms. Johnson gave her a cold look: "What? Are you questioning my decision?"Lucy froze, quickly shaking her head: "No, I just thought you'd choose Renee's design."What a way to invite trouble.Renee smoothly interjected: "I respect Ms. Johnson's choice. I'll continue to work hard in the future."Ms. Johnson's brow relaxed, and she pointed at Renee with an ambiguous gesture: "I have to leave now. We'll talk next time."After seeing Ms. Johnson off, Mandy surveyed the three."Rene

A few days later, while Annie was targeting Lucy, Renee quietly completed her design.Worried about potential issues, she personally delivered it to Ms. Johnson's company.Ms. Johnson stroked the jewelry with satisfaction, raising an eyebrow at Renee. "Don't you want to know why I ordered your design separately?"Renee, aware of her position, knew better than to ask unnecessary questions.She smiled mildly. "I'm just glad you like it, Ms. Johnson."Ms. Johnson rested her chin on her hand, hinting, "Someone's going to bleed a lot.""Hm? What do you mean?" Renee looked at Ms. Johnson, puzzled.Unexpectedly, Ms. Johnson changed the subject. "How did you get here?"Renee hesitated before answering. "By taxi."Ms. Johnson's lips curved into a smile, her eyes gleaming with suggestion. "Then I'll have someone drive you back.""No need; I—"Before Renee could refuse, Ms. Johnson called out to her office."Haven't finished with the contract yet? If you don't come out soon, she'll le

"What do you mean?" Renee's eyes widened."What do you think?" Carl's eyes were as dark as night...In the office, Ms. Johnson glanced at the message from Carl. Indeed, gifts don't come without strings attached.She immediately called the security room. "Turn off the cameras in the elevator.""Yes, ma'am."However, the two in the elevator didn't do anything. Or rather, just as Carl was about to take action, his phone rang.Renee glanced at his screen. It was Annie.She looked up at the man so close to her and reminded him, "Uncle Carl, it's your fiancée."Carl didn't argue or let her go. He simply answered Annie's call.Annie's sweet voice came through the phone. "Carl, the dress you sent is beautiful. I love it. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Ms. Johnson will be wearing my design today, and I want to take some photos with her for promotion. So I'd like to arrive early. When can you pick me up?""Right away," Carl replied, his voice flat and emotionless, yet somehow r

The luxury boutique.After giving her name, Renee was warmly welcomed by the staff. They led her to a seat and served some refreshments."Miss Lacey, please wait a moment. I'll have someone bring your dress for inspection.""Alright."Renee sipped her tea, about to relax when she noticed the screen opposite her broadcasting a live feed of the gala's red carpet.The brand must be sponsoring some celebrity.Renee remembered Carl's words about watching the gala coverage.Why should she?She reached for the remote to turn it off, but a staff member suddenly blocked her view of the screen."Miss Lacey, your dress is here. Please take a look.""Okay."Renee sighed, put down the remote, and approached the dress.Even though she'd worn it once, it still took her breath away.The staff member held up the skirt, smiling. "This dress really suits you, Miss Lacey. Since it's custom-made to your measurements, I doubt anyone else could wear it."Renee's hand, stroking the dress, paused

"Mm."Carl's response made everyone look at Annie enviously.It seemed the mysterious jewelry was Annie's birthday gift.On camera, Annie's cheeks flushed.The reporter moved the microphone closer to her. "Miss Simmons, are you confident about your jewelry design?"Though the question was directed at Annie, she seized the opportunity to express her affection.Her eyes sparkling, she said sweetly, "With Carl's support, of course I'm confident. This piece was carefully designed based on a camellia. Please take lots of photos later."Just as she finished, there was a stir on the red carpet.Someone announced Ms. Johnson's arrival.Annie immediately lifted her chin, ready to receive admiration and praise.Ms. Johnson made a grand entrance in an emerald green satin mermaid gown, perfectly accentuating her alluring figure.But she wasn't wearing Annie's camellia necklace. Instead, she showcased Renee's pearl set, softening her typically aggressive charm.More surprisingly, Ms. Jo

Ms. Johnson stroked her dog's fur and smiled lightly. "What are you thinking? Of course, it's because I use good fertilizer. A little manure water now and then, and they grow wonderfully." "Miss Simmons, your last name is Simmons, not Grey. In this, you're not as clear-headed as Renee." Come back and challenge her when you've truly become Mrs. Grey.With that, Ms. Johnson walked away without even a glance at Annie. Annie couldn't swallow the insult and turned to complain to Carl. But Carl had already left. She could only smile at the cameras, maintaining her goddess image as she hurried after him. "Carl, I..." "I don't listen to time-wasting explanations. You should have known the consequences of designing camellia-themed jewelry," Carl said coldly. "But you could have warned me," Annie stammered, even blaming him. Carl looked at her, his dark eyes narrowing, cold as ice. "If this affects my collaboration with Ms. Johnson, I'll withdraw all investments from the S

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
