Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 191 - Bab 200

After hearing Susanne's words, Renee's mind was in turmoil. She couldn't think of anyone whose initials were CP. After pondering for a moment, she could only say, "Mom, can you keep an eye out and let me know the next time they have a gathering?"Susanne didn't immediately agree. Her voice betrayed her unease as she asked, "Renee, what are you planning to do? I thought you wanted to stay away from Annie and her group?"Renee pressed her lips together and walked to the window, gazing at the stars. She used to think that way, it was true. She had promised Sarah that she would be a happy jewelry designer, that she would climb higher and higher, to make up for past regrets. So all along, her only thought had been to break free from her original fate and fulfill her promise to Sarah.But when she lay in the hospital bed, listening to Carl threaten her to favor Annie, blood spreading from her lower body, it felt like reliving the pain of losing Sarah. If she hadn't taken birth control

Renee pressed herself against the wall, her face pale and her mind filled with memories of Travis's fate in her past life. And now, Carl wanted to destroy Travis again—the only person in the Grey family who had been kind to her!Her breath caught, and her fingertips dug painfully into the wall. A few seconds later, she turned and quietly left.Renee returned to the hospital room. Travis was in pain from his injuries, finding it difficult to even turn over, but he immediately offered a gentle smile when he saw her."Renee, I thought you weren't coming back.""I wouldn't do that," Renee said as she sat down by the bed. "Travis, I forgot to ask earlier—how did the accident happen?""There's a special pastry in the city. I wanted to bring some back for you to try. I was just in a hurry, that's all," Travis explained briefly.Renee noticed a flaw in his story. "Travis, the driver was behind the wheel. No matter how urgent you were, the driver wouldn't risk your life..."Travis's eyes

Renee never imagined Carl could be so reckless.Despite the late hour, there were still many people around the hospital. Yet he brazenly slipped her hand under his sweater.Her icy fingers touched his burning waist, causing her to let out an involuntary gasp.People turned to look at the sound. She quickly lowered her head, struggling fiercely, but he held her hand firmly against his waist.Renee curled her fingers, feeling taut muscles beneath her palm, unable to escape.If anyone took a step closer, they'd see her hand inside his sweater.She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but the heat from his skin felt alarmingly high.Panicked, she warned, "Uncle Carl, you're crazy. What if someone takes a photo?"Carl fixed her with a cold stare. "You weren't afraid to come see Travis dressed like this late at night, but you're scared to be with me? Then why did you enter my room that time?"Renee hesitated, not daring to meet his eyes. Once, she had loved this man passionately.

Ding.The elevator doors opened to reveal a bright hallway. Standing there, one could look down through the glass walls on both sides and see the building's interior.At the end of the hallway stood a pair of imposing double doors made of solid wood. Though simple in design, they exuded authority.The assistant carefully pushed open the doors, revealing to Renee a spacious two-story office of about 2,000 square feet.A wall of windows offered a panoramic view of the surrounding buildings.A spiral staircase led upwards, presumably to Carl's private area.Renee was momentarily stunned by the sunlight flooding the tiled floor. This was her first glimpse into Carl's professional world.Nearby, Patrick rose from a small conference table when he heard them enter."Renee, what brings you up here?"Renee snapped back to attention, holding up the insulated bag. "I brought you lunch. Mom said you've been working hard lately, so I ordered something special.""You didn't have to go to a

Renee's eyes widened as she realized she had just mentioned something she shouldn't have known.She tried to pull her hand away, but Carl tightened his grip."Explain," he demanded."I... I've just seen you drinking it every time you coughed before," Renee said, wincing. "That hurts."Carl loosened his grip slightly but didn't let go.He leaned in, intrigued. "Every time?"Renee bit her lip, realizing she had revealed something she shouldn't have.She turned her head away, determined not to say another word.Carl's gaze intensified. His feverish body tensed, his eyes fixed on her with growing focus.Renee sensed the heat coming closer. She turned to find Carl's face inches from hers.His eyes lowered to her lips. His thick eyelashes hid the emotions rising in his eyes, exuding an indescribable allure.Renee gripped the bedsheet tighter.Don't panic, she told herself.To her surprise, Carl pulled away."I'm sick," he said hoarsely.Renee froze, clutching the sheet even ti
