The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1620
Renee was in her bedroom on the second floor, lying in bed weakly. She could vaguely hear the fight downstairs, but was too tired to get up and listen to it. Ever since she became blind, she seemed to have lost track of time; it felt like only a day had passed since she had lost her sight.Leia knocked on the door and walked into the bedroom. "Ren, how are you feeling?" She walked over and sat down near Renee's bed. Her heart ached at the sight of Renee's dispirited look."I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Renee tried her best to sit up, and leaned against the bed in despair.Leia found it strange. It had been only a few days, but Renee had become unusually weak. A pregnancy couldn't cause this kind of fatigue, and even if it did, Renee wouldn't be so uninterested in the arrival of a child."Are you keeping something from us, Ren? You seem quite weak." Leia held Renee's hand and asked in concern. "No, I'm just so bored that I got lazy. I'm good," Renee took a deep breath and sa

"Ah, why are you asking so many questions?" Renee sighed wearily. "All you need to know is that there isn't any child. That's it." "So, you're pregnant, but you don't want the child. Am I right?" Leia stubbornly asked."Yeah, I'm pregnant, but I don't want the child. Dr. Wagner will help me abort the child right away. Just... help me handle Stefan. Don't let him find out." Renee realized she couldn't keep it from Leia, so she told her the truth. Maybe Leia could help take care of her after the surgery."What? You want an abortion?" Leia's eyes grew wide in bewilderment. "It's been only a few days but you've changed so much. Weren't you very happy a while back? Didn't you want to have the child?""People change. You weren't there when I gave birth to the twins, and I agree with you. It's exhausting for women to have babies and get pregnant. I don't want to suffer through that again," Renee lied to Leia."I see. It's alright, I'll support you!" Leia declared. As expected, Renee had

Owen went upstairs after he had arranged everything, then asked Renee to go downstairs for the compatibility test. It was then that Renee realized that they had secretly called Shirley over for Shirley to donate her eyes to Renee."No!" Renee went to the examination room and said to Owen, "I know Shirley. She's rich, and won't give up her eyes to me for no reason. I'm afraid Stefan will force her, and things will turn ugly. I think I'd better not do the test.""Don't overthink this. Although Ms. White's eyes resemble yours, it's just a possibility they're not a match. We'll see after you have the test," Owen explained, then instructed his assistant to help Renee lie on the surgery table to have the test.Meanwhile, Shirley was in another room. She hadn't met Renee at all. Owen's assistant had taken her blood and did a risk test on her inner organs to see if she was qualified to donate her eyes."May I know..." After the assistant had taken Shirley's blood, Shirley whispered, "Can I

"It must be here!" Shirley tiptoed to that room and leaned her ear against the door. She tried her best to listen for any sounds in the room, but the sound insulation in that room was relatively good. Hence, she heard nothing except footsteps from behind her. "Why are you sneaking around?" Leia sounded cold and displeased. "Ah!" Feeling guilty, Shirley averted her gaze, too timid to meet Leia's gaze. "I passed by and got curious, so I looked around.""Hmph! Did you pass by this place?" Leia crossed her arms and scoffed, "You really are the best actress. Didn't you see the no entry sign here? Even Stefan can't come here while Dr. Wagner is giving Renee an inspection. What are you up to?" "What sign? I walked fast and didn't see it." Shirly stubbornly made an excuse even though the sign was clearly marked and placed in the corridor. There was even a red tape around the area, and Owen had stated that he wanted no disruptions from anyone while he was working. When Shirley went looki

"How dare you!" Leia was fuming with anger. When she recalled how she had been beaten, she lost her temper and slapped Shirley fiercely."Ah!" Shirley screamed and fell to the floor. She gingerly touched her wounded cheek and looked up at Leia with watery eyes. "Ms. Osborne, I'm sorry. I know that I've made you suffer. If slapping me helps ease your anger, just slap me. Take revenge on me for all that you've suffered through!""Hmph, at least you're not stupid. Well, I won't say no then." Leia stopped holding back. She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Shirley. "Your fans kicked me, shaved off almost all my hair, and nearly stripped me bare. But don't worry… You're going to suffer more. It won't end today." "Ms. Osborne, I didn't do it on purpose, but I know that you've suffered because of me. I won't resist even if you want to hit or scold me, shave my hair, tear off my clothes, or spit at me. I won't take revenge on you either..." Shirley closed her eyes and tears rolled down
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1625
"Is it bad? I find it simple actually." Leia snorted and looked at Shirley, who appeared pitiful. "I want to avenge myself and vent my anger. I want to beat her up, and she gave me permission to. We don't think it's bad, but an outsider like you does, huh?" "I know that you're mad, so you're acting out of spite and can't see the consequences, but I'm rational. I won't see you go mad like this..." Xavier held Leia's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Trust me—you'll regret it if you take revenge on her today.""What's there to regret? Will I be afraid that she'll take revenge on me or are you going to take revenge on me? Do you want to help her slap me?" Leia was so close to Xavier that he could see the anger and grief in her eyes. She leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "I won't stop you if you want to save the damsel in distress, but please get in line. We'll settle our grudges once I'm done avenging myself." Then, Leia struggled out of Xavier's grip and quickly slapped Shir

Leia rolled her eyes when she heard that. She had to hand it to Shirley—she was quite skilled at pretending to be pitiful. All she needed was to lower her head or pout and she would look innocent… It was something Leia could never do."Oh, your legs are numb? How sad! But that doesn't mean I can't beat you up," Leia scoffed, putting her hands on her waist. She approached Shirley, looking like she wanted to teach her a lesson."Don't... Don't come near me! My legs are numb. Xavier... save me!" Shirley whimpered, still seated on the floor as Leia approached her. She couldn't admit she was lying about her legs, so she could only depend on Xavier to save her.Suddenly, Leia pointed behind Shirley and screamed in panic. "Ah! It's a rat!" "Ah! Where is it?" Shirley instantly leaped up and hid behind Xavier since rats were one of her greatest fears. However, there was no rat to be seen in the corridor."Aren't your legs numb? How did you jump so high? Well, it's certainly no surprise

God was fair—if one thing was lacking, something else would be provided. If one had too many things, God would take some away. It was the same case with Leia. She was born into a very loving family with parents and a twin brother who doted on her. The luckiest thing in her life was that she had a best friend like Renee, and they were very close. Leia had already gained a lot of precious things, so it was destined that she would suffer in her romantic affairs. Once she thought about it, she found it fair. She wouldn't be so stubborn even if she lost someone she loved."Okay, stop arguing. We should just wait for the test results." Xavier finally spoke up because he wanted to put an end to their meaningless fight. "I don't want to argue with her, but she came to a place she shouldn't be in to peek at something she shouldn't. I asked her to leave but she said no, so I couldn't be polite to her anymore," Leia said directly, implying that her grudge against Shirley was because of Renee a

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.

"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

"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
