Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 212
Why didn't he say anything?Renee's mind was in turmoil, first with Travis's change, and now Carl's silent endurance.What was real? What was fake?Looking at the crisscrossing scars, she cautiously asked, "Uncle Carl, does Michael often punish you like this?""I'm not stupid," Carl replied nonchalantly."Then under what circumstances do you get punished?""When others don't use their heads.""..."Others, meaning Renee.So Carl, being the clever fox he was, must know how to protect himself.Then why did he...As she pondered, Carl turned his head. "Renee.""Hm?""Had enough of touching?"Hearing this, Renee snapped back to reality, realizing her hand had been caressing Carl's back the entire time.She quickly withdrew her hand, awkwardly rummaging through the first aid kit."Um... although it's bleeding, it's just a small tear. I'll apply some medicine, but I don't have those special healing patches.""There are some in my coat pocket," Carl said calmly.Renee paused

Renee froze, but reason quickly pulled her back to reality.Her and Carl? Impossible!There was no child between them, no forced marriage, nothing.Only hatred.Most importantly, Annie hadn't run off pregnant.Renee's body tensed, as if suddenly yanked from a scorching summer into the depths of winter, every pore trembling.She pressed her lips together. "Uncle, save those words for your woman.""I'll bandage your wound. You should go see your woman when you have time."See your precious Annie one last time.Perhaps she had become cold-blooded.When she learned Annie wanted to terminate the pregnancy, she was only slightly surprised. She felt no regret and didn't think about telling Carl.If he stopped it, it would all be meaningless.That demon child should become nothing more than blood flowing down a drain.He had inherited eight or nine-tenths of Annie's wickedness, always tormenting Sarah under the guise of poor health.Once, he even shot at Sarah's eyes with a sling

The other colleagues, hearing Renee's question, also became curious about Annie's illness."Yeah, Miss Simmons, what were you sick with? Even the recent flu going around doesn't clear up that quickly.""You look radiant. It's hard to believe you were unwell at all."Annie's eyes flickered with panic for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled."It wasn't anything serious, just a minor cold. Carl tends to overreact. He was worried something might happen, so he stayed by my side the whole time.""He stayed with you the entire time?" Renee asked, eyeing Annie skeptically.Hearing this, Annie suddenly perked up. She walked over to Renee, casually touching the necklace around her neck."Yes, he just spoils me too much. He can't stand to see me suffer even a little. Jealous? You should find yourself a boyfriend quickly. But Carl's love for me is one of a kind."Her tone was soft as usual, but when she turned away from the others to face Renee, her eyes were full o

Half an hour later, a café employee knocked and entered with a bag of coffees.Out of courtesy, a colleague handed the first cup to Annie."Miss Simmons, please try it first. The coffee beans are excellent."Annie stared at the coffee, half-filled with ice, her breathing uneven. From the corner of her eye, she saw Renee already sipping her coffee with apparent enjoyment."Mmm... It's really good."Annie cautiously took a tiny sip, holding it in her mouth before swallowing. "It is nice."A colleague who disliked Annie's affected manner said sarcastically, "Miss Simmons, just a tiny sip? Don't you like the coffee we chose?"Annie's public image was one of grace, generosity, and approachability. This persona had won her countless fans online.In her past life, she had used these unsuspecting fans to wage public opinion wars, gaining support from both the Grey family and the public.Now, if she showed even a hint of dislike, the office gossips would spread the news without Renee h

Renee suspected the child might not be Carl's.That's why she had asked Susanne about any men in Annie's life.Unfortunately, there hadn't been much progress.But seeing Annie's terrified behavior, Renee became more convinced of her theory.For the next four days, Annie wore impeccable makeup but would suddenly disappear for brief periods.Each time, Renee would find her hiding in the storage room, quietly enduring pain.According to the doctor's explanation, it seemed Annie's medical abortion had failed.Annie forced herself to endure for two more days, her complexion so poor that even blush couldn't hide it, before finally making an excuse to go to the hospital.Renee, under the pretense of delivering something, followed Annie.Annie went to see the doctor who had prescribed the abortion pills, choosing the quiet lunch hour to avoid attention.Just before entering the office, Annie received a call that left her frozen in place."What did you say? Are you sure? I understand

Dr. Latson was preparing for his afternoon consultations, but he looked nervous.Another doctor passing by glanced at him."Dr. Latson, why didn't you go for lunch? I didn't see you resting in your office either. Where were you?"Dr. Latson visibly startled, dropping something. He laughed awkwardly, "I was preparing for surgery.""You need to prepare so early for a minor procedure?"These days, painless abortions hardly counted as surgery."The patient was anxious. I had a quick chat with her." Dr. Latson smiled, but his forehead was beaded with sweat.The other doctor didn't suspect anything and nodded before leaving.Renee also slipped away from the crowd, hurrying in the direction Annie had gone without wasting a moment.Annie, feeling unwell, hadn't gone far. She was just exiting the clinic building.To confirm her suspicions, Renee quickened her pace.But before she could get close, a man suddenly appeared and pulled Annie aside by her arm.The man was dressed distinct

Renee was shocked by the man's attitude, but what came next was even more surprising."It's okay if the baby's gone. There's no one more important to me than you," he said.With that, he cupped Annie's face, wiping her eyes before kissing her without warning.Annie froze for a moment, then pushed him away."Are you crazy? This is a hospital! What if someone sees?""Don't you like it?" The man's tone turned playful and roguish.He didn't remove his hand from her face. Ignoring her anger, he kissed her again, forcefully.At first, Annie struggled, but after about fifteen seconds, she embraced him back. They continued kissing, making audible sounds.Renee was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly pulled out her phone to record the scene.Unfortunately, the branches in front of her split the view. She kept adjusting her angle, trying to bend some of the softer branches out of the way.Gradually, the image on her phone became clearer, especially the man's figure.On the back of

In her panic, Renee stumbled on the soft grass, twisting her ankle. Her phone flew from her hand, sliding down the slope into the artificial lake.She didn't bother retrieving it, quickly hiding instead.Meanwhile, the man, needing to protect Annie, was a step slow in reaching the bushes.A small stray cat jumped out, licking its paw.The man turned, embracing Annie with a look of wanting to continue. "Just a wild cat."But when he leaned in, Annie pushed him away in disgust."Stop it. I really don't feel well."Immediately, the man took off his leather jacket and draped it over Annie's coat.Annie, however, stared intently at the cat licking its paw. She narrowed her eyes, "Something's not right. I feel like someone's here."The man shrugged, "You're too tense. Let me take you home."Ignoring him, Annie shook off his hand and walked to the cat, kicking at it.The agile cat yelped and ran off.Annie stood where the cat had been, scanning the area until she spotted the broke

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
