Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 265
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

Caught off guard by Linda's sudden attack, Renee lost her balance and fell.Her hands instinctively shot out to break her fall, landing right on the broken teacup shards.Pain shot through her body, leaving her defenseless against Linda's assault.Susanne rushed to help. "Let go of my daughter!"But Linda, desperate to exonerate Travis, had shocking strength!She yanked at Renee's scarf, shrieking: "Father, look! I have proof! I'll show you she's been seducing Carl!"The scarf tightened around Renee's throat, choking her. Just as she felt her neck might snap, Patrick finally pulled the frenzied Linda away.The scarf came with her.Susanne quickly shielded Renee: "Renee, are you alright?"Renee tried to answer but could only cough. "I'm... fine."Susanne glared at Linda: “Linda, have you lost your mind?""Ha! Better worry about explaining to Father why your daughter has Carl's belongings when she's supposedly cut ties with him!"Linda held up Renee's scarf triumphantly.Ren

Linda frantically searched the front of the scarf but couldn't find Carl's name embroidered in gold thread."Impossible! It must be on the other side!"Despite turning the small piece of fabric inside and out three times, she couldn't find her proof.Michael's patience wore thin: "Well? Found anything?"Linda's eyes bulged as she kept muttering: "I'll find it! I know I will!"“Dear Linda looking for this?"Carl pulled out another scarf from under his coat, clearly showing his name embroidered on it."How? This isn't right!" Linda stared at Carl in disbelief.Carl casually draped the scarf over his armchair, saying coolly: "Everyone knows how important this scarf is to me. Why would I give it away so carelessly?"Renee felt someone watching her, but when she looked up, she saw nothing. Perhaps it was just her imagination.Humiliated, Linda turned on Renee with venom."Renee, if you're innocent, why were you so desperate earlier?"Renee collected herself and stepped forward:

Renee's heart stopped.By the time she noticed Travis's sinister look, it was too late.Travis signaled to Linda.As Renee reached for her scarf, Linda yanked it away, nearly making her fall.Though she caught herself, the bite marks on her neck were now visible to Michael.Linda grabbed her hand, pointing at the marks: "Father, look! I wasn't lying! This proves she's been with Carl! These are clearly a man's bite marks!"Renee covered her neck: "No! This has nothing to do with Carl!""You keep denying it, but what about when you slept with him? Don't tell me it was an accident! We know your dirty intentions! You're just like your mother - using your body to climb the social ladder!"Linda grew more heated, dragging Susanne into it.Seeing Patrick about to intervene, Renee quickly stepped forward.She didn't want to cause trouble for Patrick and Susanne - their position in the family was already precarious."Mrs. Grey, how would my involvement with Carl benefit you? Why are

Michael remained silent, his stern gaze fixed on Carl, waiting for his response.Renee looked down at her bleeding palms, feeling no pain.She was already too humiliated, too hurt.But the killing blow was yet to come.Carl's eyes, deep as an abyss, swept over Renee, his face showing nothing but endless frost and ice."It's none of my concern."Her wounded palm rubbed against her coat repeatedly, grinding debris deeper into her flesh, but Renee was numb to it all.Travis smoothly pulled the rigid Renee closer, smiling: "Thank you for your blessing, Uncle."To outsiders, it might have seemed like genuine affection.But only Renee knew he was just trying to win against someone.Unfortunately, he was completely wrong.Carl didn't care about her at all.Michael's gaze shifted between Renee and Travis, showing less anger than when he'd thought she was involved with Carl.He only reprimanded: "Impossible! The Greys don't accept people of loose morals."Loose morals?Renee dug

Renee had taken the small knife from the living room's coffee table fruit bowl.She'd sensed Carl would come.And he did, but he blocked her knife.He effortlessly caught the blade, rendering her pushing useless.Renee's eyes were red, filled with hatred, but her face was ashen as she bit her lip.The bite marks on her lips drew blood.Carl stared at her, his eyes unfathomable.Just as her strength was failing, he released his grip. The knife slashed across his palm, drawing blood.Renee froze.Carl merely asked coolly: "Satisfied?""You're insane!"Renee threw the knife away and tried to leave.He grabbed her neck from behind, spun her around, and pulled her close, forcing a dominating kiss.Renee's eyes widened as she beat against him, but he was unmoved, kissing her even harder.Rain dripped from his hair, running down his cheeks. His eyes seemed misty, like deep fog hiding something she couldn't understand.As the rain grew heavier, pelting them both, Renee shivered.

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
