All Chapters of Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Renee grabbed Jack's hand just as he began to sink.His little face had turned ghostly white with fear."Don't be scared, I've got you."Renee soothed him while supporting his chin.Though only six or seven, he felt heavy, especially with his water-logged clothes. Even as an adult, she struggled.Fortunately, her light dress allowed her arms to move freely.Despite the cold, she gritted her teeth and pushed through.Renee finally managed to swim to the bank with the child, where his mother reached out tearfully."Miss, give me your hand!""Take the child first."Renee felt her strength failing, unsure how much longer she could hold him.His mother thanked her repeatedly while pulling her frozen child to safety.As she reached back for Renee, a thick branch suddenly floated downstream, striking Renee's shoulder.She grunted in pain, her numbed arm releasing the mother's hand as the branch swept her into the current."Miss! Help!" the mother screamed from the bank.Renee s

Hospital room.When Renee woke, Carl was gone.After regaining some strength, she got up for water and noticed movement at the door."Who's there?" she called out.The door creaked open slightly, and Jack's head peeked in."Miss!""Behave," his mother pulled him back, stepping inside. "Miss, thank you so much. I made some food - I hope you don't mind.""Of course not! Thank you, I'm actually hungry," Renee smiled, not wanting to refuse.The mother poured chicken and mushroom soup from a thermos and offered two flatbreads.She carefully packed away the remaining food.Renee asked curiously, "Ma'am, what's that for?""Jack's father is in intensive care. Every bite counts," she replied, eyes welling up.Renee thought for a moment. "Was Jack being thrown in the river connected to his father?"Struck by the truth, tears rolled down the mother's cheeks."Those monsters! They made their own mistakes and now force us to sign papers.""Who are you talking about?""It's..." she b

Perhaps Renee's words seemed truly naive to them.Uncle Sam planted his polished shoe beside her, ignoring the dust."Renee, you're officially Patrick's stepdaughter. Visiting the Grey family mine seems natural, and if there's a cave-in, well, that's just bad luck. Who would question it?""Patrick? He's nothing. Even if we kill him too, Michael won't dare say a word.""As for the mine incident, you think those poor villagers can cause trouble? We planned to settle quietly, but they refuse to sign the liability papers. Daring to challenge the Grey family! They'll be next! It's just a hundred thousand dollars - hardly worth my attention."Uncle Simon frowned, interrupting seriously. "Why tell her all this? Get on with it!"Renee realized the quieter Uncle Simon was the real threat.When their eyes met, he narrowed his."Wait - knock her out first!"Renee's heart dropped, her bound hands instinctively clenching.Clever old fox.Afraid she'd resist or survive.Despite her painf

Carl released her, silently leaning against the rock.Time passed.Adjusting his position, one leg bent for support, he spoke softly: "Renee, what should I do with you?"Before she could respond to his puzzling words, his head dropped.His forehead pressed against her cheek, and she immediately sensed something wrong.His usually strong frame now trembled with cold.Renee felt around in the darkness, checking his wound.The makeshift bandage was soaked with blood.She tore off another sleeve to bind it tighter.But this didn't help - Carl looked worse.His fists clenched, neck veins bulging, face paper-white, damp hair clinging to his temples.Cold sweat rolled down his face, his eyes hazy with an indescribable allure."Uncle Carl?”"..."Carl didn't respond, his whole body tense, fighting something.Watching him, Renee's heart ached.He didn't have to come, but he did.She unbuttoned his shirt, then her own, hesitating before pressing close.Carl stiffened, his clenc

Hearing Michael had arrived, Renee immediately pushed Carl away.With his injured leg, Carl swayed before steadying himself, his dark eyes fixed on her."Go back.""Okay."Renee agreed - this situation needed more than her explanation alone.But before she could leave, the door burst open.Michael entered, his eyes blazing at Carl's injury.Spotting Renee, he struck her face with a resounding slap.“The Grey family raised you up, yet this is how you repay us? Disgraceful!"Still weak, Renee slammed into the wall, seeing stars, blood trickling from her lip.Michael raised his hand again, unsatisfied.But Carl caught it mid-air.The sudden movement tore his stitches, blood soaking through the bandage.Michael's eyes turned vicious. "Carl! What are you doing? After what she did to you, I can't even punish her?""Unnecessary."Carl's eyes swept over Renee's swollen cheek, his face darkening terrifyingly, his grip on Michael's hand tightening.Michael winced, staring at Carl
