Owen glanced at Stefan, then nodded. "Fine, you have my word. You were willing to fish with me, so if I don't help, it would be rather ungrateful of me... So, where's the patient now? I'll go and treat him."Stefan told him which hospital it was, as well as Quinton's name. "Alright. Let's go back now, I think we can make it," Owen glanced at his watch and said lightly."Are... Are you guys going back to save my brother?" Renee listened to their conversation in disbelief. Stefan had done so much to get Owen here, but he actually had the same goal as Renee—asking Owen to cure Quinton. But... why?She had just argued with Stefan, and he and Quinton were enemies. Why would Stefan fish with a doctor just to ask him to save his enemy? Renee knew that Stefan was a petty man who fussed over everything and would take revenge on anyone who offended him... When did he turn into a kind person?"You're overthinking." Stefan put both hands in his pockets and scoffed arrogantly, "I didn't do

The surgery would take a long time, but Renee did not dare to leave. She waited outside the whole time. When everything was going smoothly, Stefan turned to leave."Wait," Renee whispered suddenly as she stared at his back.Stefan stopped and said arrogantly, "What now?"After a while of nibbling her lip, Renee finally gathered her courage and said, "Thank you." She took a deep breath and continued, "My family was once on friendly terms with yours, but unfortunately, we're enemies now. I hope that our families as well as the Baldwins can put their prejudices aside and be at peace after Quinton is cured. I believe that's what our ancestors would want too."Stefan stared at Renee, disappointment blooming on his face as he sneered. "So, your only expectation of me is peace between our families?" "What else would it be?" Renee swallowed in panic, not knowing how to face Stefan. Too many things had happened between them that she couldn't ignore, and she couldn't get close to him aga

In the plastic surgery hospital."Where's everyone? Come out now!" A clear and overbearing voice rang out through the entire hospital.Leia clenched her fists tightly and walked towards the plastic surgery room where Quinton was previously. She said firmly, "I won't leave if you guys don't come out and explain what happened to me. I'll make such a scene that you won't be able to run a business here anymore!"After she bade Renee goodbye the other day, she investigated and interviewed a lot of people. She found that there were many doubts surrounding Quinton's case. It seemed more likely that foul play was involved, and it wasn't because of Quinton's health or a careless mistake. She felt that she needed to be held responsible for the incident since it was her suggestion and she had asked Xavier for the doctor's contact.Hence, she had rushed to the hospital to demand an explanation.The assistant of the doctor who performed the plastic surgery for Quinton cautiously walked over an

"It's okay, this place is safe. Your colleagues and superiors aren't here," Leia said reassuringly.The young woman stared down into her cup of coffee for a long time. She looked conflicted as she said slowly, "To be honest, I found that surgery weird because Doctor Leslie Snyder is always very cautious. He would use the anesthesia with the lowest risk if he could, but… he behaved strangely that day. He insisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects are strong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It's what we call brain death!""A forbidden anesthesia?" Leia was shocked when she heard that. Unexpectedly, their enemy had been that bold. Renee's instincts were right—it had been a deliberate attempt at murder."At first, I disagreed with it, but Doctor Snyder claimed that we were out of imported anesthesia and this surgery couldn't be delayed, so we had to take a risk. Although it wa

Shirley was a new rising star. Although her commercial value was average, her fans and fame were excellent. Thus, her whereabouts were a secret, and it was hard for ordinary people to meet her. Even after asking around, Leia didn't gain any useful clues. Finally, she braced herself and went to Universal Entertainment. She'd decided to ask Xavier about Shirley. After all, Shirley was his first love, so he should know everything about Shirley.When the young receptionist saw Leia, she immediately got up and welcomed her enthusiastically. "Miss Osborne, you must be here to see Mr. Stuart. He's in his office now. You can go up without making an appointment.""Oh... Okay." Leia scratched her hair and looked at the eager receptionist doubtfully. She had dated Xavier secretly in the past, and not many people had known about it. She had to go through a very complicated procedure every time she went to Universal Entertainment to see him, and meeting him without an appointment was very diffi

They reached the top floor, and the door of the elevator opened automatically. However, the employee did not step out of the elevator, and instead cheered Leia on. "You can do it. I won't go in with you, but you can call us if anything happens."When Leia stepped out of the elevator, the employee left quickly.Leia huffed in irritation. 'Why do I feel like I'm sacrificing myself?'When she reached the door of Xavier's office, she heard his angry roar from afar."Is your marketing department completely useless? How dare you sign on a novice with such poor skills? What makes them different from this trainee from Korshach? How competitive is this novice? I can easily find a better person. Get lost and reflect on your mistake!"After that, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses was driven out of the office with a stack of documents. The man pitifully squatted down on the floor to pick up the documents, looking unhappy."Let me help you." Leia squatted down and helped him pick up

"I... I'm sorry." Xavier was stunned, and spoke like a child who had made a mistake. "My employees can handle being rebuked. They won't change if I don't scold them, so I have to do this""Is that really the reason? You're overly violent, so they don't dare to resist." Leia glared at him as she touched her swollen forehead, gritting her teeth in pain. "Did I wrong you? Why am I so unlucky whenever I meet you?""Come here, let me take a look." Xavier pulled her hand away. When he saw a slight scratch on her forehead, he felt very sorry for her. He blew at the wound gently and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Wait. I have ointment and a plaster here. Let me tend to it." He then led her to the sofa and opened his drawer to get the small medical kit. He was attentive and considerate, being unusually gentle and kind. It was very different from his usual frivolity. "Stop it, I'm not that weak. It'll heal soon..." Leia tried her best to keep her distance because she didn't want to

Cut the crap! Here, I'll fix it." Leia became flustered because of his words, so she grabbed his face with her hands. Recalling what she learned in her university elective lesson about putting back one's joints, she applied a bit of force, and they soon heard a crack. "Move it and see if it's cured," she clapped and said confidently.Xavier moved his chin, and to his surprise, it didn't hurt as badly. Nonetheless, he wanted to bluff Leia. "No, it still hurts. Hmm, my face is going to be ruined now. What do you think you should do to compensate me?" "It still hurts? That can't be." Leia frowned and took a step forward. She then grabbed his face again. "Should I do it again?""No, I'm fine now." Xavier immediately dodged. He might die instead of merely ruining his face if he went through that again. Leia realized he had tricked her, and became furious. "Can you be serious? Is it fun to fool me?" "Yes, it's fun!" Xavier smirked and got close to her. "I think it's fun when we bic

Stefan purposely spoke politely. Awkwardness filled everyone again. The children continued making comments and said a lot of rude things to Stefan."Keep quiet. Didn't you hear me? Are you asking for a beating?" Renee scolded.Renee was gripped with an unspeakable sadness, just like Stefan. She failed to hold herself back from getting mad at the children. "Mommy, we're taking your side. We want to seek revenge for you. Did we do anything wrong? Why are you mad at Abby and me?" Adie felt aggrieved. He would always unconditionally take his mother's side. If Stefan were his family, he would openly welcome Stefan. But since Stefan had abandoned their family and made Renee sad, Adie would only regard Stefan as his enemy. He would fight Stefan fiercely. "Your daddy and I aren't at war. You don't have to pick a side. I just want you kids to be good and not be affected by my relationship with him. Although we're separated, he's still your daddy. No one can replace him. Do you under

When Quinton saw how Renee looked at him, he held himself back and muttered, "You're so dumb. How could you side with him at this moment?""No, I'm not. I just think he's right. There's no right or wrong in a relationship. You can't criticize people just because they don't like me. It'll make us look very petty," Renee said. "Hmph! Do you have to act fine when others bully you? If that's the case, I'm petty," Quinton muttered, but did not expose his thoughts openly. He merely did not want to embarrass Renee, and angrily sipped some wine. Everyone held different thoughts as they ate. In the meantime, Renee and Stefan met each other's gaze several times before quickly looking away. They hid their feelings, but knew what the other felt. Eventually, Margaret returned to the private room with the two children. Both Adie and Abby instantly realized that Stefan was there. Surprise overcame them. Still, they tried their best to suppress their yearning for Stefan's love since he had

Then, Stefan calmly placed the crab leg on the plate in front of Leia. Leia was flabbergasted. She did not dare to move. She wondered what he was doing, and if he wanted to sacrifice her."Why aren't you eating it?" Stefan looked at Leia, sounding composed. Yet, he was full of the dominance that could burn anyone.Leia swallowed and gnashed her teeth, asking Stefan, "How could you peel the crab for me? Isn't it inappropriate?" She was the most cowardly person. Usually, she looked fierce and indignant as if she wanted to punish Stefan severely. But when he came to her and looked at her, she would be very frightened. She would not dare to do anything."Why not? Someone said women shouldn't peel the prawns or crabs themselves. I'm just being a gentleman. It's nothing serious. It's just peeling the crab!" Stefan said. It was rare to see him speak so much. It was incompatible with his contradictory identity. However, it was clear that he was mocking Justin and saying how ridiculo
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2428
Both Stefan and Justin mocked each other, which made the atmosphere more awkward. Although Liam and Leia were simply watching the fun, they felt awkward, too. It made them restless.Renee was having a hard time, too. She smacked the table and said to Stefan and Justin, "You'd better stop eating. Go out and fight. The food got cold because of your endless fight."When she spoke, she sounded like a class teacher with absolute authority. Although both Stefan and Justin were dissatisfied, they fell silent and did not dare to say more. Everyone started enjoying the great food, but said nothing. It seemed a little gloomy.Renee was about to get a prawn, but Justin had already peeled it nicely for her. He dipped it in some sauce and put it in Renee's bowl. "I know you love prawns the best. I've peeled it for you. Of course, women can't peel the prawns themselves.""Oh, Mr. Baldwin. You're considerate. You're a role model among the men. Anyone who marries you will be very happy!" Le

Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

"How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

"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
