Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 260
Renee's neck stung - Carl's bite was harsh this time, as if punishing her.She didn't dare make a sound, breathing deeply and clenching her fists against the pain.Carl uncurled her fist, interlacing their fingers as his bite softened to gentle nibbles.She froze for several seconds until her neighbor's knocking snapped her back to reality."Let go," she struggled."The scarf.""I threw it away.""Renee, you know what happens when you lie to me."Carl's voice was low against her ear, carrying an undeniable authority."It's in my bag," Renee whispered.Caught in her lie, her neck flushed pink, making the love bite stand out even more. She lowered her lashes and bit her lip, unconsciously alluring.She squirmed uncomfortably, but Carl held her waist firmly."Don't move."His breathing was heavy against her ear, his tense muscles making her afraid to move.Moments later, she felt warmth around her neck.Carl rewrapped the scarf around her neck before slowly releasing her.

With solid evidence of Leon's frame-up now public, Wendy and Annie's suspicious activities suddenly made perfect sense.Renee's social media was flooded with supportive comments."Girl, I heard you and Wendy were close friends - she really stabbed you in the back! Stay away from her.""Looking at the timeline, the jewel switch couldn't have happened without someone working from the inside. Be careful!"“Renee, I've wanted to warn you - Wendy often meets Annie in private. Watch out."Reading these comments, Renee almost laughed out loud."So amused?" Carl asked softly, setting down his teacup.Renee quickly suppressed her smile, having forgotten he was there. He was so protective of Annie, he might think she was behind all this."Uncle Carl, if you think I'm falsely accusing Annie, feel free to investigate yourself. Wouldn't want your fiancée to suffer unfairly.""..."Carl frowned, rubbing his temples.Not noticing his expression, Renee continued scrolling through her phone,

The butler looked at Michael questioningly."Didn't we just remove the surveillance on her? She hasn't tried to trap Carl with pregnancy or seduce him.""Carl is my son. I know when he's lying."The butler nodded quickly, then hesitated: "At today's Clark celebration, there were some rumors. People saw Travis and Renee in a heated exchange."Michael scoffed: "I disliked her from the first time she came to our house. Sure enough, she's a troublemaker.”The butler leaned in and whispered: "If Renee..."Michael's eyes narrowed cruelly: "Do as I instructed before.""Yes, sir."...The next morning, Renee woke up confused.How did she end up in bed?Before she could think it through, she noticed the time and rushed to shower, running late.In the shower, the bite mark on her neck still stung, the teeth marks clearly visible.At least it was almost winter - turtlenecks wouldn't look out of place.But when she opened her closet, she froze.Carl!He'd taken all her turtlenecks

"What? Do you still think Annie will help you? Wendy, let me tell you something - you actually had a chance to escape yesterday.""What... what do you mean?" Wendy grabbed Renee's arm, shaking it violently.Renee yanked her arm free and said coldly: "First chance - I refused to give you the key card, but you were so eager for a shortcut that you stole it.""Second chance - Annie was right in front of me and didn't even notice you were gone. If she cared about you at all, she would've noticed something was wrong. She had plenty of time to stop you.""Third chance - the room I booked wasn't isolated. There were guests on both sides. One scream would have brought help, but you stayed quiet because you didn't want them to discover you weren't me.""Wendy, haven't you brought this all on yourself?"Hearing this, Wendy's bloodshot eyes turned lifeless. She collapsed to her knees like a fallen leaf.Renee turned away.Behind her, Wendy choked out bitterly: "I really thought we were th

When Renee entered the office, Annie wasn't there.Her colleagues were huddled together, discussing something.Seeing Renee, they waved her over: "Renee, that was brilliant how you turned the tables at the banquet.""Yeah, finally saw Wendy's true colors. I feel stupid for pitying her and buying her meals before.""And get this - the Rockefeller just announced they're terminating their partnership with Clark Corp due to their misconduct."Terminating the partnership?Renee froze, reaching for her phone to check the news when Susanne called.She stepped away from her colleagues to answer."Mom.""Renee, thank goodness we listened to you and didn't invest in Clark Corp's deal. You won't believe it - all the investors' money is locked up! Clark Corp is in chaos! They can't even manage their cash flow, and that celebration alone cost them over ten million!"Susanne sounded almost gleeful."Ten million? How?""They hired celebrities to perform, but with Wendy's scandal, the show

Hearing this, Richard's expression softened slightly."Why hasn't Nancy contacted you yet?""Don't worry, I have a way to make her come to me," Annie assured him.Richard looked at her and sighed: "Annie, don't blame me for being harsh. The Simmons fortune will be yours eventually. It'll give you status when you marry Carl, won't it?"Annie recognized her father's tactic - a slap followed by candy.But she needed family wealth to marry Carl with dignity."I understand.""Have your mother help you cover up, then go to work this afternoon. Don't let people think you're hiding out of guilt," Richard ordered."Yes."Annie nodded, not daring to defy her father.After Richard left, Yvette brought high-coverage foundation and did her makeup carefully.Yvette sighed softly, warning: "Annie, the family's lost a lot of money. You must hold onto Carl. Don't let anyone get between you.""I know! Stop nagging!"Annie's face turned cold. If it weren't for Renee, how could she have ended

Since meeting Carl again after her rebirth, Renee knew she wasn't strong enough to fight him.She'd focused on her immediate surroundings, hoping to gradually forge a path and eventually avenge Sarah.But she'd overestimated herself - every move she'd made had been in Carl's control.It was all a deception!Renee got into the taxi in a daze, her body rigid as wood. The driver had to call her several times before she responded."Miss, where to?"“East Springs Street."She answered weakly, watching the scenery blur past, feeling pressure build in her chest.Tears threatened to spill, but before weakness could take over, she bit down hard on her hand, forcing back the emotions.At her destination, Renee hurried into a tea shop.The clerk brought out her ordered set of crafted tea cups.Michael loved tea and collected these tea cups.Though he hardly needed more expensive tea cups, she had to show the gesture.Even if he barely glanced at them.Carrying the gift, Renee headed

Linda and Travis stood with bowed heads, their earlier arrogance gone.On the other side stood Patrick and Susanne, both looking uncomfortable.Susanne gave Renee a cautious glance.Renee immediately presented her gift box: "Michael, excuse the intrusion. I bought this gift, I hope you'll like it.""Mm, you shouldn't have."Michael barely glanced at the box, clearly uninterested.But he approved of Renee knowing her place.Guests should act like guests - that line must never be crossed.He waved to the butler, who had a servant take the gift away, not even asking what it was.Renee had expected this dismissal and felt nothing.She quietly stood beside Susanne, trying to be invisible.The room fell silent, but the tension kept building.Suddenly, Linda knelt at Michael's feet, clutching his sleeve."Father, I was wrong. I'll never dare again. Please, help our family - spare a thought for us, a widow and orphan."Michael, hardened by years in business, showed no mercy to fa

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
