Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 274
But you...Before Carl could finish, Renee fought back violently.All her hurt and resentment exploded at once - she didn't care what he had to say.She just wanted to escape him."Uncle Carl, don't bother explaining! I don't care! I don't care about Travis, and I certainly don't care about you! I've had enough!"She shouted, missing the dangerous glint in Carl's eyes.His gaze darkened as he gripped her chin, forcing it up: "Don't care?"Under his stare, Renee trembled with fear but she gritted her teeth and nodded with defiance."Yes! I don't-"He didn't let her finish, gripping her chin and kissing her fiercely like a storm.She raised her hands to resist but he pinned them against the window, gripping tighter until her wounds stung.He was doing it deliberately. He wanted her to feel the pain.Renee whimpered in pain as his breathing grew hotter.Renee let out a muffled gasp, but Carl’s breathing only grew hotter. His eyes held her captive as he deepened the kiss, taki

"There's no one else, okay?!"Renee glared at Carl, breathing heavily.Even angry, she looked alluring.Her eyes were misty, the corners red, fighting back tears with trembling lashes - even her tearful gaze was intoxicating.Her wet shirt clung to her skin, half-revealing, testing any man's self-control.Carl's eyes darkened further, his fist clenching until his knuckles turned white.Finally, he closed his eyes and threw her a dry towel."Cover yourself."Renee hesitated, once again unable to read him.But there was no time to think - she just wanted to wrap herself up quickly.As she grabbed the towel, a sharp snap broke the silence.Her bra strap, worn for over a year, had broken during the struggle.Right in front of Carl.Whoosh!She pulled the towel over herself - and her head."Ahem..."Carl cleared his throat hoarsely, his clenched fist aching.Yet he could still feel her warmth on his fingertips.He shouldn't have held back earlier!...The car stopped out

As Renee turned, a shadow fell over her, cornering her against the wall.Carl played with the towel, his disheveled hair giving his face a dangerous edge.When she tried to move away, she was immediately pulled against his solid chest.Her unspoken explanation was silenced by a fleeting kiss.The touch was gentle, as if she were made of glass.This tenderness unsettled Renee more than his previous intensity, leaving her too confused to even push him away.Against her lips, he whispered: "Boyfriend?""I was lying...""Quiet."He cut her off, knowing what she'd say.His kiss deepened slowly, making her world spin.Renee's mind went blank, time seeming to stop, though her heart raced in confusion.Suddenly, she pushed Carl away and sneezed.Achoo!Carl narrowed his eyes at her, his face tense as he strode into the apartment.Renee changed her shoes and followed, clutching his coat tight.Carl emerged from the bathroom, commanding: "Take a shower."With her nose starting t

Annie looked up, her eyes full of concern and hope.Carl stayed silent, unwilling to answer the same question twice.He turned to leave.Annie watched his retreating figure, her palms sweaty as she rushed after him, grabbing his arm.“Carl, did Renee say something about me?"Carl's gaze remained cold: "What could she have said?"Under his stare, Annie felt nothing - no emotion, as if she were insignificant.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't read him.Realizing her mistake, she quickly smiled."Nothing. I just worried about the misunderstandings at the studio. You know how young girls can hold grudges.""Is that so?"Though Carl's response was brief, to Annie it felt like he'd taken Renee's side.She didn't dare show her concern, just smiled sweetly, wringing her hands."I'm overthinking. I'll clear things up with her next time.""Mm."Carl got in his car and left without looking back.Annie watched his car disappear, her face full of resentment.Nearby, the Si

Despite taking medicine and going to bed early, Renee's night was filled with jumbled dreams.The fragments made no sense, leaving her exhausted in the morning.Rubbing her head, Renee checked the time and rushed to get ready.At the entryway, she noticed the scarf felt different.Unfolding it, she saw Carl's name embroidered in gold thread, still gleaming.She froze.Hadn't Carl said this scarf was too important to give away?What was he playing at?Renee's first thought was that Carl was trying to use her again.She angrily threw his scarf down but couldn't find her own anywhere.Just then, her work group chat notified her of a meeting in an hour.Grinding her teeth, she had to wear his scarf to hide the marks on her neck.In the elevator, she ran into her neighbor.Remembering last night, Renee couldn't meet her eyes.Her neighbor glanced at Renee's reddened lips and smiled knowingly."Running late?""Yes," Renee nodded, embarrassed."Can't blame you with such a mac

Suddenly, Annie grabbed Renee's scarf, violently pulling her forward.The movement exposed the bite marks on Renee's neck.Annie's eyes flashed with malice as she tightened her grip."Still wearing it? So eager to show everyone how shameless you are? Give it to me!""..."As pain shot through her neck, Renee immediately grabbed Annie's wrist.Being a pampered heiress, Annie was no match for Renee's strength.Renee stared at her coldly: "What's wrong? Hasn't the mighty Mr. Grey even given his future Mrs. Grey a scarf? Don't worry, you can ask for more for your wedding gift.”She forcefully pushed Annie's hand away.Annie glared venomously at Renee, then suddenly smiled coldly and fell toward the planter."Ah!"Annie screamed, clutching her head as blood trickled down her temple.Everyone rushed out of the meeting room at the noise."Miss Simmons, what happened?"Colleagues quickly helped Annie up.Annie's face was pale, her teary eyes full of hurt, yet she spoke graciousl

Renee stood there for who knows how long until Susanne's call came through."Mom.""Renee, why did Carl tell me to meet you at the hospital? What happened?" Susanne's voice was full of worry.Renee stared at the stark white ceiling, understanding Michael's intentions."Mom, it's nothing. Just wait for me there," she said wearily."Okay."After hanging up, she saw Mandy approaching."What are you all doing? Get to the meeting!"Everyone hurried into the conference room, afraid of causing trouble.Renee approached Mandy apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ms. Xander, I need to take leave.""Go ahead, sort things out first." Mandy didn't scold her, but glanced at her neck and offered her silk scarf. "Cover up."Renee looked down, realizing Annie had pulled her scarf loose, exposing the fading bite marks and obvious love marks.No wonder her colleagues had given her such strange looks.But was this her fault?Renee touched her neck, then the cursed scarf.Finally, she yanked it off

Michael stood with his hands behind his back, glancing past Renee before fixing his stern gaze on Susanne."Is this how you raised your child? Her tuition increases every year, and Patrick never denied her anything. Is this how she repays us?""All these years, we hoped you'd learn proper manners and be a good wife. You can't even raise a child properly—what are you good for?"His sharp words made Susanne bow her head lower and lower, her neck flushing red with shame, her nervous hands twisting together.Watching this scene broke Renee's heart.Anger burned through her whole body, making even her breath feel hot. Though she had done nothing wrong, guilt made her eyes sting.She knew exactly who Michael really wanted to scold.Once, Renee had genuinely looked up to Michael as her grandfather.When her mother took care of Michael during his illness, Renee had helped a lot too. But in the end, he only quietly warned her:"Don't be so calculative at such a young age."Michael tho

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
