Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 250
Carl's breath washed over Renee's face as he spoke.She turned her head away guiltily.Of course, he knew everything.Renee carefully tried to step aside, wanting to escape his presence, but his arm appeared in front of her.She had no choice but to stay put, telling herself her floor would come soon.But Carl seemed to read her mind, leaning closer until she felt his warm breath on her face.She could feel his heat just beneath her nose.His presence, his scent surrounded her completely, making her back break out in sweat.Lost in thought, he raised his hand, threading through her loose hair to cup her face."Hmm?" Carl's deep voice questioned."I... I..." Renee stumbled over her words."Since you told everyone I gave you a key card, shouldn't we do something about that?""..."Renee's eyes shot up - he even knew about the key card!Though his voice was calm, she felt unprecedented pressure, her breathing growing rapid.Carl's eyes were half-closed in the shifting light

Two servers stood nearby as Renee nervously tried to dodge away, clearly showing resistance.He stopped, his jawline tense with restraint."It's fine," Carl sat up straight, facing the sunlight streaming through the high-rise windows."Mm."Renee touched her lips, shifted away slightly, and gazed into the distance.The sunlight was perfect, falling warmly on their skin, so warm...After two cups of tea, the festivities downstairs had begun....In the banquet hall.Travis and Linda were making their rounds greeting guests, having covered nearly half the room, but Leon was nowhere to be seen.Travis sensed something was wrong and turned to Linda: "Mom, where's Uncle? How could he miss such an important day?"Linda held her wine glass, scanning the room, only now realizing that Leon hadn't returned since he'd left earlier."Did he drink too much? Let me ask your aunt."She found Mrs. Clark to ask, but Mrs. Clark knew nothing.Linda and Travis exchanged worried glances, and

While drinking tea, Renee also received a notification for a viral livestream."Jewelry studio intern with R.L seduces married man."Unfortunately, Renee was the only person with the initial R.L in the entire studio.How was this any different from directly naming her?But Annie had been too hasty.Catching cheaters on livestream?It wasn't clear yet who would end up ruined.In the livestream, shadowy figures moved in the dim room. Beyond the cursing, faint romantic music could be heard.A few candles scattered in the corners provided barely any light, but were enough to set the mood.This was what Renee had specifically prepared for Leon and today's leading lady.Suddenly, the footage flickered, and amid the struggling figures, someone yanked open the curtains.The entire room was instantly revealed to countless online viewers.Mrs. Clark, still conscious of appearances even in such chaos, had somehow managed to get Leon into a bathrobe.So apart from looking rather uncom

Then Leon, working from the inside, would pressure her until she had no choice but to give in.Between offering herself and the livestreamed scandal, all blame would fall on Renee, while Leon could enjoy himself and slip away unscathed.As for the woman's fate... it went without saying.So this time, Wendy, would you still play the role of the loyal lapdog?When Wendy noticed the livestream camera, she went wild, her eyes blazing red as she lunged at the paparazzi."It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It was all Ann-“Before she could finish, the stream was cut off for violating guidelines.Renee frowned, looking up just in time to see Carl tap his phone twice.She instantly understood."Uncle Carl! It was you!""Yes." Carl set down his phone and took a sip of tea.Renee stood frozen, unable to process reality for a long while.She'd been so close!If Wendy had just named Annie publicly, regardless of evidence, the public opinion alone would have been enough to shame Annie.The w

Seeing Renee arrive, Leon produced the jewelry he had ready."I've had experts examine it. The sapphire in this brooch isn't the one I gave to Renee.""I have the gem's certificate here, along with the confirmation document Renee personally signed during the handover.""This proves she had planned to take my jewel all along. Today's events were just her trap."As Leon made his accusations, Annie, standing in the crowd, gave Wendy a threatening look.Earlier, when Wendy had almost called out her name during the livestream, Annie had made sure to have a good "talk" with her before they came downstairs.Now, Wendy didn't disappoint Annie. Wrapped in a bathrobe, she stared at Renee with dark, twisted eyes.Suddenly, she burst into tears, wailing loudly."It wasn't me! Renee framed me too! I had no idea she stole Mr. Clark's jewel! Renee, how could you do this to me and Mr. Clark? I can't live with this!"With that, she hurled herself at a pillar.Before anyone could react, by the

Familiar?Well, these were all Wendy's own words.Wendy lost it, ignoring her bleeding wound as she jumped up."Turn it off! Turn it off! This is all fake! Renee is framing me!""I'm willing to have a voice analysis done to prove whether these are Wendy's words or not," Renee announced loudly."And I can confirm what Renee says is true."The speaker was none other than Mandy - the same person who had pressured Renee to charm Leon.Mandy glanced at the trembling Bella beside her, gave a cold snort, and stepped forward."I have evidence that Wendy has long harbored inappropriate feelings for Mr. Clark. Please look at the screen."The screen showed the security footage Wendy had originally used to prove her innocence.The footage clearly captured Wendy deliberately falling in front of Leon and gazing at him lovingly.This evidence had been handed to them by Wendy herself.After seeing the proof, everyone understood. Their looks of pity for Wendy vanished completely.Wendy froz

Leon grabbed at this lifeline, quickly agreeing: "Yes, yes, no wonder I can't remember any of this. It must have been when Renee got me drunk at dinner to trick me into saying these things. How can that be taken seriously?"Renee felt her heart sink, her lips parted but no sound came out, as if frozen by an invisible force.She hadn't thought it through completely.She'd anticipated Leon might deny everything, but hadn't expected him to admit to the words while twisting their context.Travis gracefully stepped down from the stage and extended his hand to Renee."Renee, I believe you wouldn't steal the jewel. There must be some misunderstanding. Trust me, I'll help you."What a clever way to appear supportive while undermining her.Renee glared at him furiously, but he continued smiling.His eyes swept over her face, finally settling on her scarf with a slight raise of his eyebrow.In a voice only she could hear, he whispered: "Renee, you can't win against me. In this world, tr

The couple pushed their way to the front unimpeded. Upon seeing Wendy collapsed on the ground, they immediately began cursing."You worthless girl! No wonder we never see you anymore - out here doing such shameful things! You've disgraced us all!" The middle-aged woman grabbed Wendy's ear and twisted it.Wincing in pain, Wendy pleaded frantically: "Mom, let go! Don't make a scene here. Let's talk outside!""Outside? No way! You can't let him get away with this for free! Your brother needs money to buy a new car! Your reputation is smeared - this man has to take responsibility!"As she berated Wendy, the woman turned her vindictive gaze toward Leon.She narrowed her eyes: "You! You old bastard! At your age, how dare you take advantage of an innocent young girl! Listen here - if you don't pay up, you'll regret it! The video's already online!"With that, Wendy's father pulled out a sickle from behind his back."Either you hand over the money today, or I'll fight to the death!"Wen

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
