"Haha! That's ridiculous. You didn't care enough about Ren and were ignorant about her condition, but you have the nerve to say that I'm lying. Why would I lie for no reason? What good will it do me? I'm not lying, and the person who feels guilty here is the real liar." Leia didn't expect that Stefan would see through her lies so easily, and started rambling out of nervousness.After hearing Leia, even Xavier felt like she was hiding something. "Lei, did you have wine? Why are you rambling?" Xavier took a step forward and held Leia's hand, looking concerned. "Should I take you somewhere to rest? You don't seem well." "No, you can save that for yourself. If I don't seem well, it's because of your witch. I didn't slap her enough. Let me slap her, then I'll be fine." Leia tried to turn the conversation back to Shirley, and hoped the surgery would end soon because she couldn't deflect for much longer."Ms. Osborne, go ahead and slap me if you want. I won't complain this time." Shirley

As Shirley and Leia were busy arguing, they didn't realize that Stefan had slowly approached the door of the room. He didn't believe that Renee was having an appendectomy, and felt that there was more going on in the room. He tried to push open the door to take a look, but when he placed his hand on the doorknob, Leia noticed what he was doing."What are you doing? You can't go in!" Leia rushed over and stood between the door and Stefan, blocking him from looking inside. She had promised Renee to hold off the others, and she would do it even if Stefan got offended and she got into trouble."This is my wife's house, and my wife is in there. I have no idea what she's going through. Can't I go in and take a look?" Stefan's words were polite, but his tone was dangerous. Leia had anticipated that he would lash out, and she knew that if she kept this up, things would turn sour. Nonetheless, she spread her hands out to block his path and said stubbornly, "Over my dead body! I'll never bac

"That's patient confidentiality. Why do I have to tell you?" Owen sounded righteous. He tilted his head a little and instructed the nurse handling the surgery table behind him, "Don't forget to put Ms. Everheart on an IV drip later. Her body is weak after the surgery. Don't be careless." The nurse had cleaned up the surgery table. Renee was lying on it motionlessly, waiting for the anesthetic to pass. At first, Owen said that Renee could have a medical abortion because the fetus was still small. But after the check-up, he found that the fetus was adhered quite firmly, so eventually he needed to perform dilation and a curettage to clear everything. Renee was afraid of pain, so she chose regional anesthesia and let Owen handle it. Now, after everything was over, grief hit her like a wave. She couldn't even protect her baby. Lying on the surgery table, she could hear the fight outside, and tears ran down her cheeks."Confidentiality?" Stefan tried his best to control his temper an

Renee ignored Stefan's question and turned to the nurse standing nearby. "I'm tired. Can you help me back to my room?" The effects of the anesthetic had passed, and she could move, but she was still weak from the abortion and poisoning. She had no energy to handle Stefan, and all she wanted to do was sleep.Stefan wasn't blindโhe could tell that Renee was very uncomfortable. Besides, it was obvious she didn't want to tell him about the surgery, so he just controlled his emotions and stopped interrogating her. Taking a deep breath, he finally said, "Let me carry you." Seeing that, the nurse immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Hunt. Since Ms. Everheart has just had surgery, she might experience some light spotting, but it's normal.""Spotting?" Stefan stiffened. He wanted to ask what surgery could cause that, but he stopped himself. He had been trying to get to the bottom of it, but it seemed like Renee didn't want him to know. He didn't want to make her feel bad, so he decided he woul

"Wait!" Shirley, who had been watching everything indifferently, suddenly stopped Renee and Stefan.Stefan stopped and turned to look at Shirley. His tone was icy as he asked, "What?""Can I speak to Ms. Everheart?" Shirley asked Stefan, looking innocent and harmless."Absolutely not." Stefan rejected Shirley without any hesitation. He had met a lot of malicious women like Shirley, and he knew that she and Renee were not friends. There was no reason for her to speak to Renee."Yeah, you're not close to my bestie. What do you want to say to her? We don't know what wicked intentions you might have..." Leia snapped at Shirley, then said to Renee gently, "Ren, go and rest. Ignore this witch." Renee, however, found Shirley's request quite strange, so she whispered in Shirley's direction, "I'm sure Ms. White has something important to say given her sudden visit... Come to my room later. We can talk." "Okay, Ms. Everheart. I knew you were a fair person." Smugness gleamed in Shirley's

Renee's sense of hearing and touch was enhanced because she was blind, and she could sense that Stefan's emotions were off. She asked hesitantly, "Stefan, are you crying?" "No, I'm not," Stefan said immediately. He turned away and took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions. "I don't believe you. You must be crying..." Renee patted the edge of the bed and said firmly, "Come sit here.""Why?""Come here. Stop asking so many questions." Stefan could not refuse Renee. He moved over and sat at the edge of the bed obediently."Turn your face towards me," Renee instructed Stefan."Why?" Stefan asked stubbornly."Just do it!" Renee ordered, her tone brooking no arguments. Helplessly, Stefan moved closer to Renee. He was a tycoon in Beach City, but when it came to Renee, he would do anything she wanted him to. The irony was not lost on him.When Renee felt Stefan nearby, she reached out and held his face. "You..." Stefan immediately tensed up as if someone was a

In the past, Stefan never used to cryโthey used to call him an iceberg. Even if Renee had died in front of him, he wouldn't even have flinched. But now, he couldn't stop his tears. Seeing men cry was so rare that people always said men's tears were the best stimulant for women.At first, Renee wanted Stefan to leave the room because she needed some time alone, but when she realized he was crying, her heart softened. She imagined his handsome face streaked with tears, painting a charmingly pitiful image, and suddenly felt the urge to grab him and kiss him. Hmm... She needed to calm down."Hey, aren't you the toughest CEO in Beach City? You cry more easily than Adie and Abby, I think I'd better change your nickname to 'crybaby'," Renee held his arm and said cheekily, trying to stifle her laughter."I'll say it again: I didn't cry. I just got dust in my eyes." Stefan scowled in embarrassment as he tried to defend himself. In his opinion, only feminine men would cry, and those were t

After Stefan left, Shirley quickly knocked on Renee's room door."What do you want?" Leia scoffed, narrowing her eyes at Shirley suspiciously like she was a ticking time bomb. When everyone had gone to Owen, Leia had followed Shirley upstairs, and blocked her way when she knocked on Renee's door."It's none of your business; this is between Ms. Everheart and me. She promised to speak to me alone just now." Shirley's expression was hostile and unfriendly, very much different from her innocent look when she was in front of Xavier. "It's my business since you're looking for my bestie. She just had surgery and is blind, so she needs to be protected from wicked people like you," Leia said firmly."Ms. Osborne, I don't owe you anything, and I'm not your prisoner. Why do you always object to everything I do? Do you really have that much time on your hands?" Shirley smoothed her hair, her tone sarcastic. "If I were you, I would have spent more time dressing up. There are plenty of women

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 killedโฆ" 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-Wifeย ย ย 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-Wifeย ย ย 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 guessโฆ 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 wrongโฆ? 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

Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

"What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt
