Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 278
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

A moment later, outside the hospital room.Michael and Carl walked out together, father and son side by side, their presence commanding.Michael, hands behind his back, asked calmly, "You were with Annie last night?""Yes," Carl replied simply.Michael nodded. "You're not getting any younger. It's time to settle down and start a family. If Annie resolves the mine situation, don't be too hard on the Simmons family.""Understood.""That's enough, don't escort me. Go stay with Annie, and don't let yourself get distracted."Michael didn't say much, but Carl understood the deeper meaning behind his words.As soon as the elevator doors closed, Jackson emerged from a nearby door."Mr. Grey, the butler did check yesterday's security footage from that road.""Travis."Carl stood by the window and lit a cigarette, his half-closed eyes obscured by wisps of smoke.A dangerous aura emanated from him, his dark eyes burning with intensity that made even Jackson, who had served him for yea

"I'll be home in about half an hour," Renee said.She knew it must be her repaired phone. Earlier, she had paid extra to the repair shop owner to prioritize fixing it, not wanting to wait too long."Alright, I'll deliver it to your door in half an hour," the courier replied.As soon as she hung up, Renee immediately caught a taxi home.She met the courier downstairs, signed for the package, and rushed upstairs to open it.As the phone powered on, she felt unexplainably nervous.She had to get to the bottom of everything.But when she opened the photo gallery, she froze in place.Her eyes darted around, losing focus, everything before her becoming a blur.The phone crashed to the floor.She collapsed alongside it, and after a few rigid seconds, desperately picked up the phone to search again and again for what she needed.But everything had been erased from the phone.It was all gone!Renee's mind went blank. When she finally gathered her thoughts, she quickly dialed the re

Renee had never been to a bar before. To blend in, she carefully studied how to do smokey eye makeup online and bought the most popular "party girl" outfit she could find.A halter top and high-waisted pleated mini skirt.According to online reviews, it was the best-selling, most common club outfit.This look would help her avoid standing out while keeping her identity hidden.After getting dressed, Renee took a taxi to the bar.To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the car, she drew everyone's attention.Her first thought was that maybe her outfit was outdated.She'd heard that bar-goers were usually fashion-conscious - was her outfit too basic?It wasn't until she walked toward the entrance, hearing whistles all the way, that she realized why people were staring.Renee had read a first-timer's guide to bars online.The first rule was to never let people know it's your first time, or you'll become a target.Her goal tonight was to stay low-key.So she rolled her e

Whistles and cheers from the crowd were endless.The woman moved through the music toward a man in the audience.Finally, she threw off her mask and fell into the man's arms.The crowd was too dense for Renee to see the couple clearly.But when the man embraced the woman, his watch caught the stage lights.CP.The letters, made of tiny diamonds, sparkled distinctively. Renee recognized it instantly.Chris Percy!Then this woman must be Nancy!Renee never imagined that the prestigious Miss Larson would perform such a sensual dance just to please a man.She pocketed her phone and, drink in hand, used the crowd to inch closer to Chris's VIP booth.As the owner, Chris had the best spot in the bar - perfect views of both the stage and the dance floor.Renee glanced at the booth.Chris wore all black, his shirt casually unbuttoned halfway down his chest.Nancy sat on his lap, tapping his chest with her glass."Jerk, you never reply to my messages.""But I'm here now, aren't I

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
