The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1448
Stefan raised his brows but didn't persist. "Forget it—I'm sure I'll find out whatever you all are hiding from me eventually. I believe in Owen's skills." Clang! The thermos suddenly fell from Seraphina's hand, and she screamed as the hot soup splashed onto her hand. "Ah, it hurts!""Are you okay?" Stefan immediately put down the document in his hands and went to Seraphina."It's okay, it's just a slight burn." Seraphina tried to brush it off, but she looked like she was in pain. "Let me have a look." Stefan took Seraphina's hand and leaned down to study it. When he saw that the back of her hand was red and burned, he frowned deeply. "Take her to the medical room and tend to this, Elijah.""No, it's fine. I'm really okay..." Seraphina trailed off as she looked at the soup that had spilled all over the floor. "But it's a pity… I spent the whole afternoon making this soup for you, and now the carpet's dirty too." "The soup can be made again and the carpet can be cleaned, but I'd
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1449
Instantly, Seraphina's features twisted into a hideous snarl. She glared at Elijah and sneered icily, "What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Young? Do you doubt my feelings for Stefan?" "I'm not doubting your sincerity towards him, but I just want to know how deep it runs… How much would you be willing to sacrifice for Mr. Hunt?" Elijah asked bluntly. He didn't care if Seraphina thought him selfish or overbearing; he just wanted to be sure of Seraphina before he tried to help her get closer to Stefan. After all, Renee had almost killed Stefan, so he had to make sure Seraphina didn't have any ulterior motives."I'm willing to do anything for Stefan, including giving up my life..." Seraphina bit her lip as she recalled what happened in the past, her eyes watery. "I'm sure you don't know this, but… When that woman's brother went mad and kidnapped Stefan, I suffered a lot so Stefan could come back safely." Elijah frowned, staring at her curiously. "What happened?" "I'm sure you kn
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1450
The fact that Seraphina, a rich young lady from a noble family, had been sullied by a group of criminals was something she should have kept a secret, but she revealed it to Elijah to win his support. If Elijah saw her sincerity and helped get her and Stefan closer, things would be much simpler."Yeah, I didn't imagine you loved Mr. Hunt that much..." Elijah stared at Seraphina, feeling conflicted. If Renee's love for Stefan glowed steadily and brightly like the Moon, then Seraphina's love for Stefan burned fervently and madly like the Sun. It was really hard to choose which love was more suitable for Stefan. "Your relationship with Mr. Hunt has been good lately. Although he's busy with work and doesn't spend much time with you, I guarantee that he still cares about you. Don't worry, you both will have more time together once he settles his work." Elijah tried to reassure Seraphina, who was glaring daggers at him."Do you think I'm a kid? I don't need to be coaxed!" Seraphina scof
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1451
Two days later, Renee changed into a surgical gown and walked into the sterile surgery room of the manor with Jovan."Please lie down on the operating table." The eye surgeon instructed the nurses to help them onto the table after a brief check-up and anesthesia testing. Renee gave her full cooperation throughout the process, staying quiet the whole time. The image of her in the large surgical gown with her long hair wrapped up in a cap made her look like a little lamb off to the slaughter. She laid down on the operating table, the surgical light above her so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. Halos of light swam in her vision, and she felt as if she was stuck in a nightmare. "Do you regret it?" She heard Jovan's indifferent voice nearby. "It's not too late if you do.""No, I don't." Renee smiled pathetically. "I'll never regret since I'll be getting so much money." "Okay, then. I promise I'll reward you generously," Jovan promised firmly. After the anesthesiologist fini

Renee sighed in relief when she sensed no hostility from Lisa, and immediately asked, "Is the surgery over? Was it successful? Can Jovan see again?""I heard from Ms. Pierce that the surgery was successful. Mr. Jovan will have his stitches and bandages removed in a week, and he can see again. But unfortunately, you..." Lisa let out a soft sigh as she looked at Renee, pale and weak in her surgical gown. Feeling sorry for Renee, Lisa asked hesitantly, "What are you planning to do in the future?""Don't worry. I might have lost my sight, but I'm not dead. I can survive this. There are many blind people in the world who have done great things..." Even though Renee was in a lot of pain, she still tried to reassure Lisa because she could tell Lisa genuinely felt sorry for her."I'll take good care of you for the next few days, Ms. Everheart. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything. I'll help you as long as it's within my abilities." Lisa felt that Renee was a kind and positive pers

"No, that's not true!" Renee said in panic, worried that Adie would investigate her whereabouts."I'm safe, and nothing has happened to me in years. So, don't worry, take care of Abby, and listen to Margaret. Understand?" Before Renee could end the call, Adie said bluntly, "No, Mommy, you've gotten into a lot of trouble in the past few years, and you still get into trouble. I think something's happened to you, and that's why you don't want to video call us... How about this, Mommy? Turn your camera on for a second and let me see you; I'll believe you if there's really nothing wrong.""Umm, well..." Renee stammered, then blurted out, "What are you saying, Adie? I'm hiking with my friend, and the signal is bad. I'll hang up first!" After that, she quickly ended the call, feeling guilty."You're so lucky, Ms. Everheart! Your children are cute and smart, and they love you so much!" Lisa remarked, looking wistful."I'm lucky, but they're not..." Renee sighed miserably and explained, "Th

"This isn't a sacrifice, it's a repayment." Renee forced a calm smile onto her face. "Thank you for thinking about me, but this had to be done." Lisa pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret since you asked me to. Are you sure you want to leave now though? If you do, I'll talk to Ms. Pierce for you. I think she'll be okay with it.""There's no rush." A sigh escaped Renee. "You said that Jovan is still in a coma, and we don't know how he'll feel when he wakes up. I think it's better for me to sneak out after it's proven that he can see again. That way, if anything happens in between, I can still help." "Oh, Ms. Everheart, you're so kind! Even now, you're worried about Mr. Jovan. You must love him a lot, don't you?" Lisa smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry—you're the only one Mr. Jovan likes. Once he's recovered, he can snatch Hunt Enterprise from Stefan, then he can take care of you and make it up to you.""Ugh, I didn't think of that..." Renee groaned,

"No, it was Stef who made the decision, I just saw it through. It's his life, so I can only respect his choices," Francine said with a melancholic sigh. Back then, she was overbearing and used to control every aspect of Stefan's life. She even used to meddle in his marriage, until Stefan's relationship with Renee took a turn for the worse. Maybe she should have just let them be since Stefan cared so much about Renee… Maybe she shouldn't have given Briar a chance.Naturally, she didn't want to make the same mistake again. "But do all of you respect me? Have you ever thought about the consequences if something does wrong? Have you thought about what would happen to me if he really does regain his memories?" Seraphina's eyes watered as she asked them desperately. She turned to Francine, looking aggrieved. "You know about my feelings for Stef, Madam Francine, and you know what I've suffered for him. I've been with him when he was blind, on the verge of death, and even when the executive

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.

"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

"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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife 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-Wife 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 guess… 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

After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc
