Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 171 - Bab 180

As soon as Renee entered, she realized that Wendy, who had been following her earlier, was nowhere to be seen. Wendy must have known there’d be a confrontation and decided to disappear, leaving Renee to take the fall. When things went south, Wendy would reappear as the “friend” who could throw her under the bus.But Wendy overlooked one thing: in her absence, Renee could say whatever she wanted.Renee turned to Mandy’s husband with a polite smile. “Thank you, but I think it’s necessary for me to explain.”Mandy’s husband glanced to the side nervously and interrupted, “No need. I believe you.”That response made people wonder.“No, I’m not explaining to you; I’m explaining to Ms. Xander,” Renee replied. “I’m actually wearing a… knockoff.” She flushed, looking at Mandy with embarrassment. “Ms. Xander, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I really admire you, so I tried to imitate your style. You know I’m just an intern, so I couldn’t afford the real thing and opted for an imitation

Renee was startled by Carl’s actions. The more she struggled, the more interested he seemed to become. Eventually, the gown slipped from her shoulders, and as she tried to cover herself, he pinned her wrists above her head with one hand. His other hand lightly gripped her chin as he leaned in for a lingering kiss—teasing but never quite satisfying.Despite her attempts to stifle them, soft sounds escaped her lips as he kissed her, even as she bit her lip to keep him at bay. Hearing her restrained reactions only fueled him further, and he nipped at her lips, sending a shiver through her as he stole her breath away.Feeling the softness of her skin through his suit, it all felt too little—never enough.As she gasped for air, powerless against his strength, Carl caught the frown on her face and seemed to regain a bit of control. “Will you still allow other men to get close to you?”Renee glared at him in silence.“It seems I haven’t made myself clear enough,” he murmured, leaning clo

Renee huddled behind the door, watching the commotion outside through the peephole. Mandy was at the front, determinedly stopping at the door of Room 6. Just as she raised her hand to knock, Annie stepped forward, stopping her.In a low voice, Annie said, “Ms. Xander, if you knock, you’ll give them a chance to cover up. Then there won’t be any evidence left. After all you’ve done for Renee, and she repays you like this? You shouldn’t let her off so easily. I felt bad for you, so I brought the key to the room.”With that, Annie pressed the key into Mandy’s hand.Enraged, Mandy could only think about her husband betraying her with one of her employees right under her nose. Losing all sense of reason, she turned and quickly unlocked the door, bursting inside.Screams erupted from within as the people inside were caught off guard. Renee pressed her ear against the door, straining to hear what was happening, but she could make out nothing, which only added to her frustration.Behind he

Everyone was stunned to see Lucy’s face.She was plain, with nothing particularly remarkable about her looks or figure—certainly not compared to the well-maintained appearance of Mandy. What was her husband thinking?Clutching her clothes, Lucy started sobbing. “Ms. Xander, I was set up! Renee called me to Room 6, and the moment I got here, I started feeling hot and out of control. After that, I don’t remember anything.”The crowd exchanged curious glances, surprised by this unexpected twist. Mandy turned to Renee with a frown. “What’s going on here?”Renee shook her head, feigning confusion. “Ms. Xander, I have no idea why Lucy would say that. Even if I had wanted to set her up by sending her to Room 6, this is Room 9.” She pointed to the large “9” on the door.Lucy looked at the number in shock and then glared at Renee, as if realizing something.Renee flashed a concerned smile. “Lucy, are you saying I set you up? That I conspired with Ms. Xander’s husband to take advantage of

In the car, Carl and Annie had just settled in when the gloved driver turned around with an apologetic look toward Carl.“Sir, if we’re not going to the office, I’ll take Berrile Road.”“Alright,” Carl replied briefly, closing his eyes to rest.Annie noticed that the driver wasn’t the usual one and asked curiously, “Why the change in drivers? This one doesn’t seem to know the roads well.”Carl’s eyes remained closed, his voice cold as he replied, “A new driver can learn the routes. But anyone who doesn’t recognize their employer has no place here.”A faint crack appeared in Annie’s expression, her freshly manicured nails digging into the leather seat, but she maintained her smile. “Understood.”They didn’t speak again until they reached her home. Not daring to invite Carl inside, Annie muttered a quick goodbye and practically bolted out of the car. Carl didn’t linger either; he simply drove off.Feeling drained, Annie barely made it into the house before a wave of nausea hit her
