Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life Chapter 430
Carl and Levi reentered the private dining room, their expressions calm and unreadable. Whatever they had discussed remained between them.“Let’s go,” Levi said as he approached Renee, casually taking her bag from her.“Alright.” Renee followed him toward the hotel entrance.After exchanging polite goodbyes, Levi’s assistant pulled the car around. As they approached, Levi turned to Ruby. “Don’t get carried away.”“I won’t! Go on, take Renee home. Carl will take good care of me,” Ruby said playfully, her tone light and carefree. It was clear that Levi never treated Ruby as someone with limitations, and perhaps that was why she remained so cheerful and at ease despite her condition.Renee, on the other hand, felt a pang of guilt. She lowered her head and climbed into the car without saying a word. As the door shut, her peripheral vision caught sight of Carl. His gaze was fixed on her, sharp and intense, carrying an unspoken warning.She bit her lip and stared straight ahead. Even a

As per regulations, family members are not allowed to observe the cremation process.Renee Lacey had paid extra to enter the cremation room, her hand tightly gripping the cold metal frame of the gurney.The air felt scorching, with specks of ash floating in the sunlight.Perhaps they were the remains of previous cremations.Soon, her precious child would become just like those specks.Renee wore a black dress, the smallest size barely concealing her emaciated frame.Her eyes, red and swollen from crying, now held an eerie calmness.She reached out to touch the pale, stiff little hand beneath the white sheet, placing two pink origami stars in Sarah's palm."Sarah, wait for mommy."It was time.The staff member gently pulled Renee away and lifted the sheet, revealing Sarah's face.Eight years old, yet still so small and thin, with visible ribs and a sunken area below them.Staring at her daughter's frail body, Renee's tears welled up once again.She had failed to protect Sar

She was back!She had actually returned!Ignoring the confused glances around her, Renee pinched herself hard.The pain that shot through her body instantly brought tears to her eyes!"Why are you crying? It's as if our Grey family has wronged you!"A stern voice came from the front of the room.Renee snapped back to reality and looked up, meeting the disapproving gaze of Carl's father, Michael Grey.She immediately lowered her head, appearing as humble as ever, but her body trembled with uncontrollable excitement.Scornful whispers filled the air around her."So young, yet so ill-behaved. Bold enough to drug Carl and climb into his bed, causing a scandal throughout the city. Clearly trying to force Carl to take responsibility, but now too scared to admit it. I wonder who raised her.""She's not really one of us. Our Grey family would never raise such a shameless person. They've even found her diary online, full of her crush on Carl. How embarrassing! We paid for her college

Annie Simmons, the daughter of a fallen noble family, became the most envied woman in the city when Carl unexpectedly announced their relationship three years ago. Despite objections from Michael, they even held an engagement party.Outsiders viewed Annie as beautiful, kind-hearted, elegant, and noble. However, only Renee knew Annie's true nature. If she weren't a designer, Annie could have been an Oscar-winning actress.With Annie's cunning mind, she surely understood Renee's implication.Her wedding to Carl had already been postponed for three years; she was desperate to marry into the Grey family.Sure enough...Annie immediately stepped forward, standing in Renee's former spot and bowing respectfully."Michael, it was me!" she confessed. "Renee and I have similar figures and somewhat resemble each other, so people misunderstood."However, a voice of doubt from nearby questioned her explanation. "But the internet exposed Renee's secret love diary dating back five or six years

Under Carl's icy gaze, Renee pressed her lips tightly together, trying to stay calm.But the eight years of pain from her past life made her fingers tremble uncontrollably, and she turned her face away forcefully.Carl stopped looking at her, his voice dripping with disdain: "Trying to get pregnant in secret?"Renee frowned deeply, glancing sideways at Susanne.Susanne had bought the pills. Could she still be entertaining the idea of marrying Renee to Carl?But under Carl's cold stare, Susanne was already shaking like a leaf.More than the patriarch, Susanne feared Carl.She wouldn't dare to meddle right under Carl's nose.What was really going on here?Renee looked up, surrounded by gazes from all directions.Among them, one stood out.Annie.Her lips held a half-smile that reminded Renee of unpleasant memories.Sure enough, the next moment.Annie turned her back to the others, grasping Renee's hand, and spoke earnestly: "Renee, I'm sorry, but I can't help you deceive Car

The spacious hall felt suffocating as the air around Carl chilled to an extreme, leaving everyone struggling to breathe.He remained silent.But everyone knew he was angry.He took out a cigarette box, lit one, and took a drag.Exhaling a cloud of smoke that veiled his face, he gazed at Renee through the haze, his expression unreadable."Get out."Michael also waved his hand in displeasure.Susanne helped Renee to her feet.Renee pulled her hand away, standing straight in the center of the hall, her words firm: "Since my presence here is hindering everyone, I'll move out immediately. Mr. Grey, thank you for your care over the years."She would leave with dignity and decisiveness.She would no longer tiptoe around in fear as she had in her past life.With that, Renee turned and left.The gaze that followed her was dangerous and cold....Stepping out of the hall, the side effects of multiple contraceptive pills hit her – dizziness and nausea overwhelmed her.Renee only ma

Last night?Indeed, Renee had said a lot.Unable to bear seeing Carl in such painful restraint, she had given in.In the height of passion, enduring his almost torturous teasing, she had sincerely poured out her heart.She thought then that perhaps Carl would forget everything by morning.But she would remember it all, at least knowing she had once been so close to him."Carl, I like you.""I've liked you for a long time, ever since you came to my defense the day I entered the Grey household. I've been secretly admiring you since then.""I know you won't care about me, but I... really... love you."Renee was sixteen when she entered the Grey family. Susanne had dressed her up like a doll being presented as a gift.Back then, Susanne didn't understand the understated elegance of wealthy women's fashion. She just wanted her daughter to look like a pretty doll entering the Grey household.Instead, Renee became the laughingstock of the entire family.They said she looked like a

She threw up on Carl's pristine suit, making him frown instantly.Eventually, only bile came up and she weakly slumped against the car.Jackson quickly stepped forward, offering his hand. "Mr. Grey, let me help Ms. Lacey."Carl simply shrugged off his jacket. "No need."He gave Renee a disgusted look, but still carried her into the house.Carl took her straight to the bathroom and set her on the counter. He immediately started removing her vomit-stained clothes."No! Stop!"Renee pushed against him, resisting, but in her weakened state, she was no match for him.Carl stripped off her clothes without any expression.The marks from the previous night were fully exposed under the harsh light.Embarrassed, Renee tried to push him away, but he gripped her wrist.Carl's palm was burning hot.Renee looked up, meeting his darkening eyes.Carl gave her no chance to resist, pushing between her knees and pressing close.She trembled instinctively, her whole body rejecting him.Carl

Carl’s hand gripped her chin firmly as his lips crushed hers in a frenzy of aggression.He had seen through Levi’s intentions earlier—another man daring to stake a claim. That undeniable glint of possessiveness in Levi’s eyes had ignited a primal need in Carl to assert dominance.Renee wasn’t Carl’s match on any ordinary day, let alone when he was consumed by fury. The force he used to pin her against the railing made the metal vibrate with the intensity of his actions.But then, a voice broke through the tension, echoing down the hallway.“Carl? Are you there? This place is like a maze,” Ruby Sanders called out, her light tone oblivious to the scene she was nearing.The moment Carl heard her, he pulled away from Renee. She staggered, her pale face partially obscured by strands of disheveled hair. Fighting the nausea churning in her stomach, she clutched at Carl’s shirt with trembling hands. Despite her exhaustion, a hollow laugh escaped her lips.“What’s wrong? Scared now? Afrai

As Renee stepped out of the restroom, she didn’t feel ready to return to the private dining room. Something about the atmosphere felt suffocating, especially the way Michael’s probing gaze seemed to silently urge her to leave.She walked down the corridor to a quiet lounge area. Pushing open the glass door, a gust of cold wind swept in, making her pull her coat tighter around her. Leaning against the railing, she looked out at the distant skyline, hoping the crisp air would clear her mind. When she finally felt calm enough, she decided to return to the gathering.Turning around, she walked straight into a firm chest. Looking up, she met Carl’s icy gaze. The coldness in his eyes was enough to steal the breath from her lungs, leaving her fingers trembling at her sides.Renee took a step back, forcing herself to maintain her composure. “Uncle Carl, is there something you need?”Carl didn’t answer. He advanced slowly, step by step, until she was pressed against the railing with nowhere

The air grew tense as Michael’s sharp words echoed through the room, dripping with disdain, clearly meant to humiliate Renee. He made no effort to consider the presence of the other guests, including the Sanders siblings. His tone carried venom, each word landing like a heavy blow on Renee.Under the weight of everyone’s stares, Renee felt herself growing smaller. Just as she was about to step back, a steady hand landed gently on her waist, guiding her forward.“Mr. Grey,” Levi Sanders said with an easy smile, “is there some misunderstanding about my date?”“Your date?” Michael’s expression darkened further, tinged with disbelief and scorn. His gaze at Renee was sharp, accusing, as though calling her a disgrace.Renee understood his look all too well. She glanced sideways at Carl, whose expression was as cold and impassive as ever. That fleeting moment of eye contact drained the strength from her body, leaving her feeling bitter and hollow. The pain seeped into her bones, cold and

Levi stepped out of the car first and extended his hand toward Renee.Renee shifted in her seat, gripping the edge of the car door. “I can manage on my own.”Levi didn’t lower his hand. “Have you forgotten? Today, you’re my date.”Hearing that, Renee hesitated but eventually placed her hand in his. After all, she’d already signed the million-dollar contract. When Mandy found out, she’d even doubled her bonus, so Renee felt compelled to take her role seriously.She stepped out of the car slowly, but her new high heels felt unsteady. She wobbled, and before she knew it, she stumbled toward Levi.He caught her waist effortlessly. “I’ll have Joe buy you some flats. You’re tall enough; no need to torture yourself with these.”“Thank you,” Renee said, flashing a grateful smile.Just then, a familiar voice called out from across the driveway.“Levi? Renee?”Renee froze, her body stiffening. She turned slowly, almost dreading what she’d see.There they were—Ruby, arm in arm with Carl

At the very least, his future partner should be prettier than Renee, right? But, that would be a tough find.After exchanging phone numbers with Levi, Renee stood to leave.Levi, ever the gentleman, offered, “Shall I give you a ride?”Renee smiled politely. “You’re my client. It wouldn’t be appropriate. I’ll grab a cab. Take care.”Watching her walk away, Levi chuckled softly. She was intriguing.His phone buzzed.“Levi, how did the blind date go?” came his sister's teasing voice.“Which one?” Levi asked, his smile widening as he thought of Renee.“You’re smiling, aren’t you? Looks like it worked out.”“You’ll find out tomorrow.”“Promise me one thing,” his sister continued, her tone turning serious. “Don’t make things difficult for them. I don’t want to use my situation to guilt anyone.”Levi’s gaze turned cold momentarily, but he softened for his sister’s sake. “I understand.”The next morning, Renee woke early to get ready. She took extra care with her appearance, her ex

The table fell silent for a moment.Renee stared at the man in front of her, trying to gauge if he was joking. Before she could respond, the manager hurried over.“Apologies, the server mixed up the table numbers. This is actually table 26.”Renee turned to look at the man seated at table 27, who was clearly waiting. Feeling embarrassed, she glanced back at the man across from her. “Sorry about the confusion. Best of luck with your blind date.”The man’s tailored suit and expensive demeanor screamed wealth—someone she couldn’t afford to offend. Without waiting for a response, Renee quickly got up and moved to the correct table.She apologized to her client before settling in.Meanwhile, a woman dressed in the latest runway fashion took Renee’s former seat at table 26. As soon as she sat down, she began talking.“You look decent, but plenty of wealthy men chase after me. Let’s cut to the chase: unless you’re buying a million dollar house under my name, I’m not interested.”Renee

Ruby’s message pinged on Renee’s phone:"You don’t know either? Back in college, so many girls pursued him, but he ignored everyone. After the car accident, he suddenly changed, claiming he liked someone. I was still recovering in the hospital then and felt heartbroken when I heard that."That person must be you.Renee typed the response but deleted it immediately. It wasn’t her place to conclude such things. If Carl wanted to express his feelings, that should be his decision.Instead, she replied honestly:"You know how things were between my mom and my uncle. I didn’t move into the Grey family home until after Carl returned from college. I really don’t know.""I forgot about that—sorry.""No worries, I need to get back to work now.""Alright."Renee set her phone aside and stared blankly at her computer screen. Despite sitting there for ages, her design sketch wasn’t coming together.Her thoughts were interrupted when Mandy walked in. She gently tapped Renee on the shoulder,

Carl responded distractedly with a brief hum before walking away.Through the car window, Ruby watched his figure grow smaller, an unsettling emptiness welling in her chest. She suddenly clutched her chest and began to cough.Jackson, sitting in the driver’s seat, quickly handed her a bottle of water. “Miss Sanders, are you alright?”“I’m fine, just caught a chill,” Ruby replied, nervously fiddling with the bottle cap. “Mr. Chancer, did I say something wrong just now?”Jackson remained composed as ever. “Not at all. Mr. Grey is just always busy with work.”“I see,” Ruby murmured, though her worry lingered.After dropping Ruby off, Jackson returned to Carl’s downtown penthouse. While sorting through some company files, he heard the door open. When Carl walked in, Jackson’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Mr. Grey… is that…?”Carl shot him a cold glance and handed over a bag.“Send it for dry clean.”“Yes, sir.”Mandy’s new product launch was a resounding success, even drawing co
