Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 378
After showering, Renee put on the guest room's robe.Looking at the floor-length men's robe, she found it oddly strange.The last time she was here, she hadn't really looked around the house.Now she noticed there wasn't a single trace of Annie's presence.Not even signs of any woman having stayed over.Had Annie never lived here?With these questions in mind, she climbed into bed, her thoughts immediately distracted by the soft down comforter.So comfortable.She rolled over once, closing her eyes.But being in an unfamiliar bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She could only close her eyes and count stars.She didn't know how many stars she'd counted when she heard a glass shattering next door.This trick again!Renee scoffed, rolling over and pulling the covers over her head, determined to ignore it.She didn't believe a grown man could get into trouble in his own home.But after a while, next door fell completely silent.Renee poked her head out from under th

She pushed against the man on top of her, unaware that her loose robe had fallen open.The neckline revealed her light-colored bra.She'd worn a bridesmaid's dress today, and to avoid visible straps, had bought a cheap strapless semi bra.But as they say, you get what you pay for - the sizing was completely off, running a bit small.She figured she'd only wear it once, so hadn't bothered returning it.Now, it only added to her allure.By the time Renee noticed her exposure, it was too late.The man narrowed his eyes, cold sweat rolling from his temple, his gaze turning heated.He lowered his voice: "Renee."Carl had never called her name so many times in succession. She froze, responding softly: "Yes, Uncle Carl, you..."Before she could finish, as another drop of sweat fell, he captured her red lips in a kiss.The soft contact made everything feel more real.He even welcomed her desperate struggles, gently caressing her waist to soothe her.Thank goodness it was just a dr

In a small motel outside the city.Annie stared at the yellowed bedsheets with cigarette burns, feeling nauseated."Is this dump even fit for humans?"Connor embraced her, smiling instead of getting angry: "Annie, you're finally mine alone."But Annie felt no joy, pushing him away forcefully: "Shut up! Answer me! Why did you bring me to this awful place?""The Grey family has people looking for you all over the city. Bear with it for now. Once I buy plane tickets, I'll take you abroad."Connor leaned against the battered table, lighting a cigarette while studying Annie intently.Though disheveled, she still looked beautiful to him in her wedding dress.He wiped the dirt from her face, then suddenly grabbed her neck and pulled her in for a forceful kiss.Annie glared at him and slapped him hard."Enough! I'm not in the mood."Connor touched his cheek with his tongue, letting her vent.After a moment, Annie calmed down and held out her hand to him: "Give me your phone. I need

Carl was sitting on the sofa reviewing documents. He glanced up at her."Awake? It fits well.""Mm."She nodded, then felt something odd about his comment.Just then, Jackson came from the kitchen."Mr. Grey, Miss Lacey, breakfast is ready."Carl closed his documents, got up, and led Renee to the dining table."The driver will take you to the studio later."Renee checked the time and didn't refuse: "Okay."Near the end of breakfast, she glanced at him discreetly, asking with genuine concern: "Uncle Carl, you took medicine yesterday - how do you feel today?"Carl's expression tightened slightly: "I'm fine."Renee reminded him: "Remember to take your medicine after breakfast to be safe.""Mm."Carl put down his utensils and stared at her across the table.Renee noticed his gaze and shifted uncomfortably: "Why are you staring at me?"He wiped his hands, saying softly: "Rare to see you caring about me."Just as Renee was about to object, a security guard knocked and entered

Renee watched the approaching figure and stepped back cautiously.It was Travis.After so long, he'd lost weight.According to Susanne, he'd been stripped of his position at Grey Corp, and even the shares his father left him had been taken back by Michael.He could only return to Clark Corp with his mother - no, even Clark Corp had been acquired by Carl now.At most, he was just one of many shareholders.Actually, Renee didn't understand why Michael had been so harsh with him.Coming back to her senses, she nodded politely: "Mr. Grey."Travis gave a bitter smile: "Are you still angry?"Renee stayed silent.How could she not be angry?Someone she'd trusted for two lifetimes had been deceiving her all along.Travis looked at her and said resignedly: "I came to apologize. Let's have dinner together, we might not get another chance."Renee looked up suspiciously: "You...""My mother's condition has worsened from the shock. I plan to take her abroad for treatment. After that..

"What is it?""I hear grandfather is getting increasingly harsh with you. Would you like to leave with me?" Travis looked at her intently.Renee put down her teacup. Seeing his expression, she figured she wouldn't get any answers from him, so she replied politely: "Mr. Grey, I'm finished. Let's go."As she stood to leave, Travis suddenly gripped her wrist tightly.She stared at him in pain, catching a flash of something strange in his eyes that vanished instantly.Travis stood up with a sigh, noticed her collar was turned inward, and smiled: "I just wanted to fix your collar.""Mm."Renee glanced at her now-fixed collar and immediately headed for the door.Meanwhile.Ms. Johnson rested her chin on her hand, losing her appetite for the delicious food because of the mood-killing man across from her."Mr. Grey, aren't you going to check on her? Your niece is brave, still daring to associate with Travis.""I heard he sold Clark Corp's vital technology and is secretly selling the

Renee stared wide-eyed at the man beside her and quickly said: "He's my uncle. A distant relative.""Even distant relatives are family. Mr. Grey is... your uncle?"Joey nearly dropped her jar of cookies.Renee quickly took the jar: "Yes, he was just passing by. He's leaving now."She nudged Carl with her elbow, signaling him to leave.Carl stood firm as a mountain, looking down at the cookies.Sharp-eyed Joey carefully asked: "Mr. Grey, would you like some? I made plenty."Renee jumped in again: "He doesn't want any! He's already eaten with someone! I'll eat with you.""You haven't eaten with someone?" Carl glanced coolly at Renee.The air suddenly went still.Joey's eyes darted between them - they were uncle and niece, right?Why did this conversation sound so childish?Seeing the atmosphere grow tenser, Joey said brightly: "Let's all sit and eat. You two go in, I'll go get some more."Before Renee could stop her, Joey efficiently returned to bring over more cookies.She

"Joey, he never drinks tea, give it to me."But before she could touch the cup, Carl took it."Who says I don't drink tea?""..."Renee stared at Carl in surprise as he took a sip.She felt he was acting strangely.Not thinking much of it, she nibbled on a couple of cookies for politeness.Finally, when Joey finished eating, Renee wanted her to leave. As she stood to help clean up, Joey's briefly rested tongue started gossiping again."Really broke up?" she asked while wiping the table."Mm." Renee glanced at Carl and nodded.They were never together anyway.Joey's eyes lit up, dropping a bombshell: "I can set you up!""What?"Renee was startled.Joey looked up at Carl, assuring him: "Mr. Grey, don't worry. I'll thoroughly screen their character, won't let your niece get hurt.""What do you think, dear niece?" Carl fixed his gaze on Renee, his voice cold and frosty.Renee felt a chill down her spine, quickly shaking her head: "No need."Joey's good nature showed here -

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
