Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 185
In the bathroom, Renee leaned over the sink, vomiting until her stomach was empty. After rinsing her mouth three times with fruit-flavored mouthwash, she still tasted bitterness. As she stepped out, a figure blocked her way.“Move,” she said, feeling drained.Carl stood there, watching her. “Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?”Renee found his concern almost laughable. “Are you only acting this way because you think I'm pregnant? Have you forgotten you once said if I ever got pregnant, I should get rid of it?”Carl’s expression darkened. Renee recalled Michael’s warnings and how he treated her daughter, Sarah, in her past life. Since Star was an unwanted girl, Michael had refused to acknowledge her as part of the Grey family. When Annie returned with a son, the internet buzzed with stories of how Michael adored his eldest grandson, claiming that he was Carl’s only child. Everyone had ridiculed Renee and her daughter, alleging that all her scheming had been for nothing.Now, Mich

An inexplicable feeling crept over Annie, making her believe that this child could be her key to everything she ever wanted. Yet, for reasons she couldn’t comprehend, those things she thought were within reach now seemed to be slipping away. With a sense of defeat, she meticulously prepared for her visit to the Grey family estate, thinking that if she could secure Carl’s affection today, an early birth by a month wouldn’t seem suspicious.But she hadn’t expected to overhear such shocking news.Her hand, resting on her lower abdomen, tightened until pain radiated through her body. It was clear now that this child wouldn’t stay. Carl wasn’t going to be with her today; that much was certain. In that case, Renee’s child would have to accompany hers in their downfall. Then, Carl would have no reason not to marry Renee under Michael’s orders.Annie let go of her belly and touched up her makeup with a powder compact. Then, she removed her earrings and placed them in a small jewelry box she

Renee had imagined countless scenarios, even considering that Annie might try to blame her for a miscarriage, painting her as the villain. But she hadn't expected Annie to push her straight into the icy waters of the lake.The Grey family's man-made lake was deep, and in an instant, Renee was submerged in the bone-chilling water. She struggled, reaching for help, but the freezing water rushed into her mouth, silencing her cries. Just as she began to believe this was the end, she heard Annie's panicked shouts."Help! Renee fell in the lake!" Annie's cries quickly drew a crowd.But by then, Renee's coat had soaked up the water, weighing her down as she sank further. Her strength waned, and she could feel herself slipping under. Suddenly, she felt strong arms pulling her up, lifting her onto the bank. She choked on the water she'd inhaled, her vision blurry, but she could make out the face of the man holding her.It was Carl.He leaned over her, his wet hair dripping as he stared at

Susanne's body was damaged after giving birth to Renee, leaving her unable to have more children.Michael's oldest child only had one son, Travis. The second daughter-in-law couldn't have any more children, and if Carl married someone who couldn't bear children, how could he possibly agree?Noticing Renee's gaze, Annie instinctively covered her stomach.This gesture struck Renee as odd.In her past life, Annie had run away pregnant because Renee had married Carl first.But now, there was no obstacle between them. If Annie announced her pregnancy, their marriage would be a natural progression.Why wasn't Annie keeping this child or even daring to reveal the slightest hint of it?"Renee, I know you're hurting, but it's okay. The worst is yet to come. Carl said he'd marry me after the partnership is signed.""See? I told you, no matter what happens, he'll always choose me. You're just a free distraction."Annie let out a mocking laugh, then turned and left the room after her boas

Renee hadn’t anticipated how things would unfold. She’d expected a confrontation, maybe a fight, but certainly not to be yanked by the neck into an emergency room, where she found herself face-to-face with three gynecologists, all staring at her in confusion.Chris leaned back, recounting the scene with exaggerated gestures. “You know what they asked me? They actually looked me in the eye and said, ‘Dr. Percy, what pregnancy are we supposed to be saving here? Menstrual cramps?’”It took a moment, but the implication of his words finally hit Renee. Her face remained expressionless, and she looked away without saying anything.Unaware of her reaction, Chris looked around. “Where’s Carl? I thought he’d be here, keeping an eye on you.”“He’s gone,” Renee replied coldly.He had stayed only to make sure she’d be awake to hear his warning not to speak out.Noticing the tension, Chris quickly added, “Uh… I’ll go check on your medications.”As soon as he left, Susanne stepped closer, ope

At that time, Annie was a renowned jewelry designer with her own studio and brand. She had given birth to Carl's first son, and it seemed like even the air around her shimmered with confidence and success. Wendy, always by her side, had also risen to luxury, dressed in designer clothes and casually carrying a small Chanel bag worth over twenty thousand dollars. Wendy, once a college student who worked part-time alongside Renee and dreamed of a brighter future, had become a far cry from that person; her aura had darkened.Wendy toyed with her chain strap, her tone dismissive. "Renee and her daughter rarely leave the house now. Even Michael can't do anything about it. If it weren't for me and Nancy, you wouldn't have had any evidence to frame Renee for plotting against you and your son. Besides, Nancy helped you get the matching sample. If she ever found out that you were using her...""Shut up! Are you threatening me?" Annie's face twisted, her eyes flashing with fury."Miss Simmons,

After hearing Susanne's words, Renee's mind was in turmoil. She couldn't think of anyone whose initials were CP. After pondering for a moment, she could only say, "Mom, can you keep an eye out and let me know the next time they have a gathering?"Susanne didn't immediately agree. Her voice betrayed her unease as she asked, "Renee, what are you planning to do? I thought you wanted to stay away from Annie and her group?"Renee pressed her lips together and walked to the window, gazing at the stars. She used to think that way, it was true. She had promised Sarah that she would be a happy jewelry designer, that she would climb higher and higher, to make up for past regrets. So all along, her only thought had been to break free from her original fate and fulfill her promise to Sarah.But when she lay in the hospital bed, listening to Carl threaten her to favor Annie, blood spreading from her lower body, it felt like reliving the pain of losing Sarah. If she hadn't taken birth control

Renee quickly stepped forward, reaching out but not daring to touch Travis, afraid of causing him more pain."Travis..." she said, her nose stinging with emotion, feeling even more guilty. If it weren't for her, Travis wouldn't be in this state.Travis looked at her, gently pulling her to sit on the edge of the bed. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of her eye. The autumn night was cold, and Renee wasn't dressed warmly. Her hair was slightly disheveled from her rush to the hospital, with a few strands clinging to her damp eyelashes, making her reddened, moist eyes even more captivating.His hand lingered on her cheek, reluctant to move away. He smiled softly, trying to reassure her, "It's really nothing. Should I get up and walk around to prove it?"Renee quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. "Don't move around. You're too old to be joking like this."He stared at her with a smile, saying nothing, but for a moment his gaze flickered to something behind her. Renee sensed this a

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
