The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 122
A feast had been laid out for dinner, with various types of poultry and seafood served.Stefan frowned slightly when he sat down. Timothy normally had light meals, so why were there so many dishes prepared?This was no simple dinner... The old man was definitely up to something.Stefan didn't ask any questions. He just picked up his cutlery and prepared to eat.Timothy, who was sitting at the head of the table, cleared his throat. "We're still waiting for someone. What's the rush?"Just as Stefan thought! He raised his brows slightly before silently putting down his cutlery. He figured that Timothy probably invited Renee too. Clearly, he was trying to set them up.His tone was icy as he growled, "Grandpa, I know what you're thinking, but these things can't be forced. Renee and I are over, so stop wasting your time.""Hah! Dream on." Timothy leisurely stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously. "I wouldn't force Ren to get with a scumbag like you. That'd only make her suffer!"St

Stefan's words made Renee's blood boil. Fueled by her desire to beat Stefan, she immediately turned to his grandfather and said enthusiastically, "It's true, Grandpa. Liam and I are officially dating. I hope you can forgive me and give us your blessings. He's the one who can truly protect me and make me happy!"Liam looked tenderly at Renee next to him. He knew this was only an act to make Stefan angry, but he still felt touched by what Renee said. After all, he wasn't even Renee's backup plan.Liam suddenly felt a rush of happiness at the feeling of being Renee's boyfriend. It was like he'd won the lottery!Timothy remained stern for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter. He smiled at Renee and said kindly, "Silly child, of course I'll offer you my blessings. I wouldn't have invited you two over for dinner otherwise. I only wanted to see if this kid was reliable, and if he could look after you. You've just got out of a painful relationship, so how could I possibly le
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 124
Stefan blinked at Liam, dumbfounded. Naturally, he couldn't answer. Although he and Renee had been married for four years, he could count the number of times they'd dined at the same table. Even when they did, he never really paid attention to the food she liked."I don't waste time on pointless things like that," Stefan scoffed arrogantly."Pointless things?" Liam's playfulness instantly disappeared, and was quickly replaced by rage."That's right. A cold-blooded reptile like you will always be selfish. Why would you ever think of someone else?" Liam wasn't afraid of making Stefan angry. In fact, he would have loved to teach Stefan a lesson with his fists instead!"You know, I feel sorry for Ren. She poured her heart and soul into the relationship. She knows that you like mild-flavored food, not spicy food. She also knows you like your steak cooked medium rare, and learned over a hundred ways of cooking steak for you. Unfortunately, her thoughtfulness and efforts were just a waste

The annual Global Technology Summit was being held at Lux Hotel.Various media companies and reporters were waiting outside the hotel at the break of dawn with their equipment, eagerly waiting for two particular people to show up. One of them was a man troubled by his divorce, the future heir of the Hunt family, and also the CEO of Hunt Enterprise, Stefan Hunt. The other was a well-known researcher in the field of electronic chips, who also happened to be KCL Holdings' largest shareholder, Mr. Y. Mr. Y attracted a lot of public attention not just because of his mysterious identity and the fact that he'd never shown up in public, but also because he had a tight-knit relationship with Stefan. The chips created by KCL Holdings were only sold to Hunt Enterprise, which meant that Hunt Enterprise occupied 75 percent of the market in the electronics and technology industry. On top of that, Stefan frequently met with a mysterious man in a hotel. It was rumored that this man was most likel

"What do you think two men might be up to if they're staying in the same hotel room?" Someone said teasingly, and the group started laughing again.This 'rumor' regarding Stefan and Mr. Y had actually started out as a funny little insult within the industry. However, a series of coincidences made it sound like it was true."Besides, I heard that Mr. Hunt didn't divorce his wife because he was cheating with another woman. That 'mistress' was actually a paid actor, hired by Mr. Hunt and Mr. Yโฆ""No way!"Renee was dumbfounded. She immediately recalled her interactions with the man. The way he avoided women, how there were never any scandals involving him, and how he didn't smile often around herโฆ 'It does feel like there's some truth in this rumor, but if he really was gay, why did heโฆ do that to me the other night?' Renee felt immensely confused, and opened up Google on her phone.There were so many people around that Renee was squeezed out of the crowd once the search results ap

Renee was stupefied as she observed the eager Julian. She thought to herself, 'Hey, my ex-husband is the one cheating here, so why are you so enthusiastic about it?'However, she was able to come to a conclusion quickly. "You entertainers really are quite open-minded! I bet you're so eager to catch this paramour because you want Stefan to be your sugar daddy, right?" Renee concluded smugly as she entered the elevator too. She felt like Sherlock Holmes for a moment, thinking she had figured out what was going on in Julian's mind."Pfft!" Julian's eyes widened as he nearly choked on his own saliva. This was a side of Renee he had never seen before. "Don't you think you're overanalyzing this?""Am I?" Renee replied defiantly, as she really didn't think she was. It was quite difficult to predict anyone's sexuality after all, especially an idol's.Some idols would interact in certain ways with the other members to maintain popularity using the fans' shipping culture, while some would

"What theโฆ?"Before Renee could react, Julian disappeared from her view after saying, "Instead of sneaking around, isn't it better to just go inside and look for yourself?"'Why, you littleโฆ!' The woman cursed him in her mind angrily. She didn't even think about why Julian knew the password to the suite, all she wanted to do was make her escape. 'I'll be doomed if Stefan and his mysterious boyfriend find out I'm in their room!'It was fortunate that the suite was quite large, as she didn't notice anyone around. Just as Renee got to her feet to leave, she heard a voice coming from the bathroom.'Oh my god, are theyโฆ showering together?'Thinking about how intimate it was, Renee couldn't help but shudder, gulping nervously. 'I still can't believe the man I loved for four whole yearsโฆ is actually gay! This is devastatingโฆ'Due to her curiosity and unwillingness to accept the fact, Renee mustered up her courage and walked towards the bathroom. She then pressed her ear against the gla
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 129
The hot mist within the shower created quite a steamy atmosphere.Stefan towered over Renee as he pinned her to the wall and murmured, "Is this close enough for you? Can you see everything clearly now?"Renee felt light-headed, her face burning up in embarrassment. She tried breaking free from his grasp, huffing in rage. "Let go of me, Stefan! I know you're a homosexual, so drop the act!""Homosexual?" Stefan narrowed his eyes, visibly confused. 'How did this crazy woman come to the conclusion that I like men?'"Aren't you?" Renee decided to take this opportunity to ask more questions. "Is your lover really Mr. Y, the largest shareholder of KCL Holdings? How long have you guys been dating? Was Briar just a scapegoat for your secret relationship?"Stefan stared at her incredulously, unsure if he should stay mad at her, or laugh at how ridiculous she was being.He leaned down towards Renee, brushing his lips against her ear as he said softly, "Do you really think I like men?""Iโฆ"

Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2422
Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2421
In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2420
"That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2418
"This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

"I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killedโฆ" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2416
"I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's
The Untouchable Ex-Wifeย ย ย Chapter 2415
During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guessโฆ Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
