The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1512
"What relationship?" Francine was stunned, not expecting that Stefan would ask her that. After composing herself, she answered coolly, "What do you think? We're in-laws, of course.""Just in-laws?" Stefan didn't believe her—only two people who were madly in love would experience the kind of things recorded in Renee's father's diary. Francine and Renee's father were surely more than in-laws."Are you doubting me?" Francine sounded calm but dignified. "There are a lot of things I don't understand, and I'm scared...""You're scared?" Francine laughed and said meaningfully, "You don't have to be. You and Renee aren't siblings. If you were, I wouldn't have tried to pair you both up.""Does that mean that you did date Renee's father in the past?" Stefan asked directly once he realized his mother knew what he was talking about."Yes, I did. Is that important?" Francine heaved a long sigh as if she was recalling past memories, then said sadly, "He's no longer alive, and I'm not young an

Stefan was not feeling cold, but he felt that Margaret might know something. After all, she was around Francine's age, and she had been working for the Everhearts for many years. If anything had happened, surely she would know about it. "Yeah, I'm feeling a bit cold." Stefan got up and opened the door. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt—Ms. Ren can be stubborn sometimes. Maybe she's mad at you, so she made you sleep in the storeroom. Let me give you another blanket so you won't be cold." While talking, Margaret carefully laid out a blanket for Stefan. "Margaret, may I know how long you've been working for the Everheart family?"Margaret stopped, then smiled and asked, "Why are you asking?""No, it's just that I find you very responsible and diligent. It's rare to find someone so loyal to a family even after so many years." "Ah, you flatter me. It's because Renee's parents were very nice, and they regarded me as their child. I'm just repaying their kindness." "I heard from Renee that your

Stefan frowned and asked, "Why? I thought Ren's parents loved each other a lot, and that I should learn from them."A chuckle escaped Margaret, and she said meaningfully, "Naturally, outsiders like us wouldn't know what happened behind the scenes. Besides, every couple has a different way of getting along—you need to find the one that suits you and Ms. Ren best.""Can you tell me about Ren's father then? That year—""I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt. I'm old, and my memory is failing me, so I can't tell you much. It's getting late, and I'm going to bed. You should rest early too, Mr. Hunt," Margaret interrupted Stefan quickly, and headed for the door. Before she left, she turned to Stefan and said quietly, "If you find anything, I suggest you stop looking into it. Sometimes, it's better to not open Pandora's box, no matter how tempting it is. Everything is going well now, so why don't we keep it this way?" After Margaret had left, Stefan sat there, deep in thought. Maybe Margaret was right, an

"I came to congratulate you; I heard you can see again." Seraphina threw a gift at Jovan arrogantly."Thank you, Ms. Seraphina, how thoughtful." Jovan took the gift and sneered, "Will I be getting an invite to the wedding too?""Don't mess with me! I'm sure you've heard the rumors," Seraphina snapped and angrily kicked Jovan's sofa. "Stefan is an ungrateful jerk. I was so blind that I risked the future of my family to help him!""Why so angry? I was blind, but now I can see. It'll be the same for you—you'll be sensible again once you realize. You'll know how to move forward from now on." Jovan seemed to be hinting at something."I know I should be smart about this, but I still don't know how to move forward. Can I ask for your advice?" Seraphina pretended to be ignorant but her greedy gaze betrayed her. The reason she had come to see Jovan was to see what he could offer her.Jovan narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "What do you want and what's in it for me?" Seraphina smirked. "I w

"Yes!" Seraphina gritted her teeth, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "He went right after he was discharged from the hospital like a spineless coward. I never got to see him, and their son pushed me into the lake. They made me look like a fool, so I have to be cruel!""What happened after that? How did... Renee react?" Jovan asked, clenching his fists. He usually tried to keep his feelings hidden from others, but he couldn't hide how much he cared about Renee."How else? She must be overjoyed that they're a happy family again!" Seraphina rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Somehow, they'll always go back to each other. Even after everything we did, they just became more inseparable in the end. It looks like we're just insignificant tools to bring them together." Seraphina was trying to make Jovan jealous and angry so he would thoroughly ruin Stefan and Renee."Is that so?" Jovan's eyes glowed with malice. "They'll see how tools win in the end.""What's your plan?" "It's just as

Stefan served Adie and Abby patiently, then smiled and said, "Whoever finishes breakfast and eats the most has the right to decide."Instantly, the two children started wolfing down their food."Just eat. I'm full, and want to go enjoy the sunlight," Renee said suddenly, looking troubled. She drank a glass of milk, wiped her mouth, and carefully made her way toward the yard for sunbathing.When Stefan noticed Renee's sadness, he asked Margaret to help take care of the children before following Renee to the yard. "What's the matter, Master?" He sat on the lounge beside Renee and asked curiously."Nothing," Renee answered indifferently."There must be something troubling you. Let me guess..." After a brief contemplation, he said, "Do you feel sorry for the kids since you can't play with them no matter where they want to go? You feel frustrated and defeated, don't you?" Renee was shocked. "How... How did you know?" She thought that she had hidden her feelings well, and didn't expec

It was a call from Elijah. The second Stefan picked up, he asked urgently, "Where are you, Mr. Hunt? It's the annual shareholder meeting today. You need to be here—all the shareholders and executives are waiting for you!""Today?" Stefan frowned and finally remembered. Hunt Enterprise would hold an annual shareholder meeting at the end of the year. It was an important event as it would decide the company's direction and division of profits, and generally, the executives would prepare for it two weeks in advance. As the president of Hunt Enterprise, Stefan would decide the future direction of the company and would also be responsible for the annual operational status of the company. However, instead of showing his commitment, he was nowhere to be seen half an hour into the meeting, and the shareholders and executives were not happy. Elijah had called Stefan several times, and had finally gotten through to him. "Did you forget about it? You moved the date to today because you said you

Renee knew that Stefan cared about her and the children, and wanted to be with them all the time so he could protect them. However, she also knew the law of the jungle well. If Stefan lost, anyone could bully and humiliate them because Renee was blind now, and she didn't want that to happen."You don't have to be with us all the time; it's enough as long as our hearts are together..." Renee said sincerely, approaching Stefan and holding his hand."Understood." Stefan was suddenly enlightened as he hugged Renee. "I feel stronger now. Wait for me—I'll give you and the kids a stable home!"Stefan then drove to Hunt Enterprise. Meanwhile, Renee went to the yard to pass the time, but the children were a little unhappy that Stefan had left."Mommy, why has Daddy left? Is he going to abandon us again?" Abby asked anxiously, her eyes watery. She liked Stefan very much, but she always expected him to leave them again."No! He's just gone to work and will be back once he's done. Just wait

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

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

"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

"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
