The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1255
Leia's words infuriated Xavier, and he growled at her, "Really? Is that what you think?""As if you didn't say the same about me!" Leia protested."We've been a couple for a while now, so don't you know how I feel about you? Are you just going to believe whatever people say when they try to sow discord between us?" Xavier's words were sharp. He felt that his relationship with Leia was different from what he had with Shirley. He and Leia were soul mates who loved each other; their love was simple and fervent, and couldn't be shaken by others… But now, Shirley had so easily created a rift between them.Maybe the relationship wasn't as deep as he thought… Maybe he was just a nobody to Leia. Though he was hoping for reassurance, Leia's next words disappointed him even more. "Yeah, I think Shirley is more rational than me. She was right, you know—you did sacrifice everything for her. She was your first love that you adored greatly, and I... Well, I'm just another one of your flings. Th

Xavier's lip curled in anger as he growled, "You've done enough damage already. Can you get lost now?""Why, you!" Shirley stamped her feet and walked out of the office furiously, her agent and assistant quickly following her.As soon as they left the office, her agent said anxiously, "It looks like Master Xavier is serious about Miss Osborne. No wonder he agreed with the board of directors to suspend you. It'll be very troublesome if things went on like this.""Enough talking… You know what to do," Shirley said cryptically as she calmly touched up her makeup."You're saying..." The agent trailed off when Shirley glanced at her meaningfully, and she soon realised what she meant. The agent sighed, her heart sinking. When she first made her debut, Shirley was a naive and gullible young woman. At that time, she never complained even if things were hard because she wanted to earn money for her mother's illness and her brother's gambling debt. She worked hard to get to where she was n

Renee saw a dark red jelly-like thing in the box that resembled a mushroom. Although Renee didn't know what it was, she couldn't tear her gaze away from it."That item is an ancient mushroom. Generally, it's very rare to find a thousand-year-old mushroom, and even if you do, most of them are white. But this is a ten-thousand-year-old mushroom, so it's dark red. It's said to be able to bring people back to life, so many noble families around the world would pay any price to get it to live longer. I didn't expect it to be here in Carmine Pawnshop though... Well, it's certainly the most valuable treasure in this shop," Haze elaborated enthusiastically. He liked studying codes and reading books about treasures, so he was happy he managed to see such a rare item today."Wow, Quinton, you're pretty generous. You spent a fortune because of your sister. I'm afraid all men will come in pursuit of Phoenix if you announce this as her dowry... I must get her for this mushroom alone!" Haze said j
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1258
Haze immediately kept his mouth shut and stared at the chessboard intently.Both Renee and Quinton had a heart-to-heart talk with each other for a long time. After that, Renee recalled why she went to him in the first place. She asked tentatively, "Quinton, is it uncomfortable for you to wear this mask for long?""It's fine. I found it heavy in the past, but now I've gotten used to wearing it.""I saw your photo before your face was ruined on the Internet, and you're so handsome! Your eyes resemble Mom's and your features look just like Dad's. Your aura is like Grandpa's. You're indeed my brother… You're so perfect!""Of course. I'm not bragging, but if my face hadn't been ruined, I could've made a great living in Beach City. I established my business by relying on my charms back then." Quinton was very confident in his charisma. In the past, he could kill anyone and do anything he wanted without any obstacles because of his charm. It was also the reason why he hated Stefan so much
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1259
Naturally, Quinton couldn't refuse after Renee mentioned Adie and Abby. "Well… just do whatever you want then," he said awkwardly.Renee's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Quinton, do you mean it?""Of course. I just don't want you, Abie, and Addy to leave. I love the kids very much, and I don't want them to be afraid of me, so… I'll give in, even if it hurts my pride." Although he sounded pitiful, his face was full of happiness. To him, the children represented hope and a new beginning. He considered Adie and Abby his descendants, so he was willing to sacrifice anything for them; a minor face recovery surgery was nothing."Great! Don't worry, Quinton, I know you'll lead an exciting new life after the surgery," Renee said as she quickly took the business card out and called the doctor. "We'd better not waste time. I'll set the surgery for tomorrow to make sure nothing goes wrong. What do you think?""Whatever." Quinton waved his hand dismissively. He didn't bother protesting
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1260
"But..." Renee didn't know what to say to that. Quinton didn't want to make things difficult for Renee, so he snatched the consent form from her and signed it swiftly. "I'll bear the risk. Hurry up and do the surgery, I've got things to do after this." "Okay, please come to the surgery room with us." The doctor nodded and led Quinton to the surgery room, while Renee, Leia, and Haze waited in the corridor."Lei, did we make the right decision? Why do I feel so worried?" Renee paced back and forth in the corridor, nibbling her lip anxiously."Stop overthinking; trust the doctor's skills and Quinton's luck. Even if you don't, you should trust Xavier's character. He recommended the doctor to us, so I'm sure everything will be fine," Leia said comfortingly as she rested her hand on Renee's shoulder. Although Xavier was a scumbag in love affairs, he was a loyal friend. Leia trusted that nothing would go wrong given that he was the one who recommended the plastic surgeon.Half an hour
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1261
"What's wrong?" Renee immediately rushed over."Mr. Everheart couldn't take the anesthetic and suddenly fell into a coma. It's an emergency, and we're trying our best to save him... Miss, please sign this medical crisis notice," the nurse explained, her voice shaky.Only one in ten thousand people could not take anesthesia. They had operated on so many people, but this was the first time something like this had happened, so everyone was panicking.Renee felt dizzy as she grabbed the nurse's arm and demanded hoarsely, "He can't take the anesthetic? A medical crisis notice? Is this some kind of joke?""I'm sorry, Miss Everheart, we didn't expect this to happen. Please... Please sign this and be mentally prepared..." "Why should I?" Renee sounded hysterical, and her whole body trembled. Clenching her fists, she rushed towards the operating room. "You murderers… I'm going to kill you!" Leia quickly dropped her. "Ren, calm down. There's still hope, and I'm sure things will get bette
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1262
"Fine, I'll help you!" After Haze helped Renee sit down, he rushed to the operating room and kicked the door open. "Stop the surgery right now! I'll kill anyone who moves!""Okay, we'll stop!" The surgeon and his assistant immediately put down their scalpels and raised their hands while squatting on the floor. The surgery was over, and they just needed to stitch the wound, but Quinton had unexpectedly fallen into a coma when he had only undergone partial anesthesia.A few minutes later, the doctor Haze had phoned earlier rushed into the room, gasping for breath. "Mr. Baldwin, what happened? I nearly had a heart attack trying to get here on time!"Haze frowned then said briefly, "Mr. Cromwell, I'll leave this in your hands. If you can save him, you'll be the benefactor of my family, and you'll be compensated well.""Don't worry, I can save him." Robert Cromwell quickly changed into a surgical gown and got to work.Renee was forced to wait again. She sobbed as she stared at the door

"Do you want to leave?" Stefan saw Renee. He was calm, indifferent, and distant. His behavior stung Renee. Renee could easily recall their lovey-dovey memories. They had both risked their lives for each other and vowed to be together forever. They had two children, too. Yet, they ended up as strangers.Although Renee was heartbroken, she became competitive. She smoothed her hair and said in a similarly cold manner, "I'm going to the washroom." "Okay." Stefan did not have anything to say. He nodded and walked past Renee before heading to the dining table. "Hmph! I didn't expect you to come so boldly," Quinton sneered.At the sight of Stefan, Quinton subconsciously clenched his fists, acting like he was about to fight Stefan. On the surface, he wouldn't act aggressively because he knew Renee would stop him. "It's not easy for the few great families to get together. It's good and meaningful for us. If I refused to come, it would make me seem heartless."Stefan kept his co

Having said that, Renee lowered her head, about to leave. She didn't even have the time to bother about Adie and Abby, and told Quinton to take them home later. Her strange behavior filled Quinton with displeasure. He blocked Renee and said solemnly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to run away? People might think that you're guilty and have cheated on your husband!""No, I'm not!" Renee refuted him loudly, then explained seriously, "I'm busy. I need to handle something right away. Plus, I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong. There's no reason for me to feel guilty." Quinton went straight to the point. "What are you afraid of since you know you're not guilty? Why do you want to run away? He should be afraid instead!""I told you. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just…" "What?" Quinton crossed his arms and looked at Renee coldly. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.Renee came up with a ridiculous yet normal excuse. "I… I recalled that the dessert shop that I want to head to is about to

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-Wife 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-Wife 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-Wife 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-Wife 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 killed…" 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
