Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 313
Michael looked up, his eyes saying everything.The butler hesitated briefly before bowing in acknowledgment....Evening.Renee changed into modest attire with minimal makeup, aiming for an understated, clean look.After all, as Mandy's employee, she couldn't outshine others.Before leaving, she noticed a trending topic on her phone."Carl Grey and Annie Simmons: An Afternoon of Romance."The title alone told her everything she needed to know.She swiped past it, clicked "ignore," then calmly put on her heels and left the room.She met Mandy in the elevator.Mandy wore a jumpsuit with layered pearl necklaces at the V-neck, looking both elegant and professional.She glanced at Renee. "You didn't have to dress so plainly."Renee smiled. "I like it this way."Seeing her smile, Mandy seemed startled but held back her questions.Checking the time, Mandy complained, "Where's Annie? She was the most eager before we came, now she's nowhere to be seen."Just then, Annie appeared

The dinner location had been changed to a more upscale restaurant with better privacy.The entrance alone exuded luxury and opulence.Inside the private room, the long table was elegantly decorated.Mandy exchanged cheek kisses with several foreign guests before taking her seat graciously.Renee followed quietly behind. After just a few steps, a tall figure blocked her path."Hello, miss."Renee looked up to find Mark, one of her favorite Italian designers.Mark - a traditional biblical name common in Italy.Though his designs were innovative and striking.He was known for crediting his muse for his inspiration.Presumably a man devoted to love.Renee was honored when he greeted her, but before she could extend her hand, he embraced her.As his hands slid from her shoulders down her back, she tensed uncomfortably.Thinking it was just cultural differences, she didn't resist.But when he leaned in for a cheek kiss, she instinctively raised her hand to stop him.Fortunatel

The sensation inside her body felt like a roller coaster throwing her toward cotton candy clouds.She knew the comparison made no sense, but that's how her mind perceived it.Pleasant yet unsettling.After studying her for a moment, Mark said, "Exciting, isn't it? Feels good? You match my criteria even better than in the photos."Photos?Criteria?What did he mean?Before Renee could think further, she watched Mark contentedly open a bag he'd placed in the room earlier.When Renee saw its contents, she struggled in terror.Mark approached her with a smile, holding something in his hands....In the private room.Carl was being welcomed by Michael's cousins, who currently managed the mining operation.By family hierarchy, Carl had to address them as Uncle Simon and Uncle Sam.So when they entered, the two elders and their families didn't stand.After all, even their youngest sons were old enough to be Carl's father.Far from the capital, this wasn't Carl's territory to c

Renee watched Mark approach and struggled to fall from the chair, but her body wouldn't move an inch.Mark stopped unhurriedly before her, crouched down, and ran his hands over her face and back."Such perfect skin. No wonder your price was so much higher than the others. Don't worry, I'll be careful."Skin?Renee was startled, struggling to speak through stammers: "W-what skin? What p-price?"Those few words drained all her energy, leaving her limp on the floor.Mark's hands twisted excitedly, as if her words had triggered something thrilling.Suddenly, he leaned close to Renee, his breath heavy with alcohol."Someone sold you.""..."Shocked but desperate to save herself, Renee struggled with all her might."No! No! Stop! You'll leave bruises! Ruin the aesthetics!"He stomped on her struggling fingers.The pain was excruciating, but Renee couldn't scream.Finally, Mark lifted her onto the long table.He took out specially made red rope and bound her face-down.Once ev

Through the coat, Renee heard the sound of fists striking flesh and bones cracking.The scalpel clattered to the floor.Before Mark could make a sound, he collapsed.As her restraints were removed, someone lifted her limp body.When they turned, the coat slipped from her face, and she saw who held her.It was Carl.Like the figure in her mind, his face was cold and pale, but his eyes blazed with murderous intent.Renee slowly raised her hand to touch his face, murmuring unconsciously, "You came for me..."Before finishing, her hand fell as she lost consciousness.Something stirred in Carl's heart. His entire being turned glacial as he looked at Mark with deadly eyes."Jackson.""Yes."Jackson, startled by the killing intent radiating from Carl, hesitated before stepping forward to grab Mark's broken arm and slam him against the table....Later, Renee felt a sting in her arm. She opened her eyes to see a stranger injecting medicine into her vein.She struggled in panic,

Renee froze, not understanding Carl's meaning.It almost sounded like he was asking for her to acknowledge him as her lover.But how could there be anything between them?He loved Annie most - she was just someone he used.To him, she was dispensable at any moment.Renee's chest tightened as she said coldly, "I forgot, you're my uncle."Carl's eyes narrowed, emotions churning beneath the surface. Finally, unable to contain himself, he gripped the back of her head and kissed her fiercely.Their breath mingled as he lost control, leaving no room for resistance.When Renee lost all strength and could only yield, a soft sound escaped her throat."Mm..."Carl's breathing grew ragged as he gripped her waist. "Renee, you're going to drive me mad."Renee frowned, about to speak, but winced when her back touched the wall.Carl seemed to sigh in resignation, pulling her to sit. "Turn around. Let me treat your wounds."Renee wanted to refuse but was too weak to resist.Carl dabbed i

To avoid alarming potential suspects, the police avoided using the word "drugs."But everyone understood the implication.Hearing this, Mandy was startled and shook her head repeatedly."Impossible! You must be mistaken."Before the police could explain further, a voice interrupted."What's going on? Why all the commotion?"It was Annie.She entered, feigning surprise at seeing Mandy. "Miss Xander, you're at this restaurant too? Wait, where's Renee? Where is she?"Hearing someone was missing, the police grew concerned about flight risk - drug users were often unpredictable and could endanger others.The officer demanded, "Who else is missing? Where are they now? Withholding information makes you an accomplice."Mandy frowned, glaring at Annie disapprovingly.Annie covered her mouth apologetically. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but Miss Xander, I'm thinking of your best interests. If you're caught harboring criminals, how could you ever hold your head up again? How could you

Most dinner guests were seeing this kind of test for the first time and watched with curiosity.Only Annie's eyes welled up as she sniffled softly."Officer, please be lenient. Renee is so young - this could ruin her reputation."The officer responded sternly. "The law is the law. No exceptions."At these words, the designers who had been standing near Renee quickly stepped away, afraid of being implicated.Renee looked at Annie coolly. "Miss Simmons, the results aren't even in. How are you so certain I'm guilty? Are you psychic?"Annie stiffened before wiping her tears. "I'm just worried about you. I shouldn't have interfered."The others glanced around, thinking Renee ungrateful.Renee ignored them, calmly watching the test strip.The officer pulled the strip from the glass.One line, two lines...While everyone was shocked, Annie's eyes widened in disbelief."Impossible! How can it be negative? Absolutely impossible!"People froze - negative? Weren't two lines positive?

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
