Jovan took Renee to a nearby restaurant selling Jamerian food. "This restaurant's food isn't too oily or spicy, which is better for you since your wounds are recovering." While talking, he awkwardly arranged the silverware, and tentatively handed the restaurant's signature dessert to Renee.After such a long day, Renee was starving. She picked up the dessert with her bare hands and started devouring it. "Hey, it tastes pretty good." She generally disliked Jamerian food, especially raw meat. She felt like her brain would get infested by parasites if she ate that kind of food, but sometimes when people were really hungry, it was easy to overlook such things. Jovan smiled as he watched her enjoy the meal, and took out his phone to record the moment. "You must really be starving.""Why are you taking photos?" Renee wiped her hands clean and tried to grab Jovan's phone. They behaved childishly, but looked like a couple being playful and sweet. Unexpectedly, a waiter there snapped a ph

"Underground casino?" Renee asked urgently, "Which underground casino?" "That's hard to say. You don't understand gambling addicts—they'll go to all the underground casinos once they're addicted. They won't stay put in one place." "You're lying!" Renee didn't believe Jovan. Firstly, Stefan would contact Renee immediately if he was alive—there was no way he would be lingering in underground casinos. Secondly, his properties were enough to support him for his whole life, so he didn't have to hide even if he lost money every day. Also, Renee had never seen Stefan show an interest in gambling from the time she'd first met him. It was impossible to imagine Stefan becoming addicted to gambling in the one month he went missing. There was only one possibility when she thought about it, and that was that Jovan was lying to Renee on purpose. "I know you don't trust me, so I wasn't planning on telling you." While talking, Jovan picked up a pancake and munched it slowly. "But I saw you speak

A blonde man appeared in front of Renee half an hour later. "Ms. Ren, is that you? You've changed! You're so pretty now," he said excitedly, staring at Renee like an adoring fan.Renee rolled her eyes. "So, you're saying that I wasn't pretty back then?""No, of course you were very pretty in the gang too, but you're pretty like a princess now. You look like a goddess!""And you're still glib-tongued," Renee grumbled. She had known Harvey Murray for many years. When she was handling orders from the underworld, he was her most trusted spy and always helped her with errands. Although he wasn't that capable, he was smart and worked well with Renee. After leaving that life, Renee naturally stopped contacting Harvey, but people from the underworld always valued their friendships. If there was an emergency, they would be there without any hesitation no matter how much time had passed. "Ms. Ren, you've been pretty low-key for the past few years. My buddies didn't believe me when I told th

"No, there's no way around it." Harvey shook his head. "They've got a very good security system to punish those who try to sneak in. They're very experienced in it. Plus, you can't play the games if you sneak in without an identity, so what's the point of sneaking in?" "I'm looking for someone," Renee answered vaguely, then sighed. "Fine, I'll try to get the money." She thought about her circle of friends, and out of them, there were only two people who could lend her 20 million dollars. One of them was Xavier, the young heir of Universal Entertainment, and the other was Jovan, who pestered her shamelessly every day. After some contemplation, Renee chose to seek Jovan's help. Jovan was aware of the situation, but Xavier was not. Besides, Xavier was a blabbermouth. If he went to the casino with her and exposed their whereabouts, it would be very inconvenient."Wait here. I'll transfer the money to your account soon." Renee went to a milk tea shop and ordered a cup of milk tea for Har

Harvey led the way, and both he and Renee soon arrived at a gambling table.Renee just wanted to take a look, but a tall middle-aged man came up to her and said firmly, "You can't just watch here. It's rare for us to have a female guest, so you should go play one or two rounds."Renee sized the man up. He was wearing a black suit and had a beard, and his gaze was sharp and dangerous. He looked like a gangster, but he didn't seem reckless. Renee figured he was from the administration part of the casino. "That's the manager of Osk Casino, Victor Reed. He's good at gambling but is very vicious. Be careful," Harvey whispered to Renee."It's okay, I've faced many big shots in my life. This is nothing." Renee patted Harvey's shoulder reassuringly, then faced Victor and said confidently, "Sure. I managed to get in after spending 20 million dollars, so of course I'd like to have some fun. However... you're the only one I want to play against in this casino.""You want to play against me?
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1747
"You're pretty arrogant… but I like it. Well, what's your gaming chip? Let me know, then I'll decide if I want to play against you." Victor spread his hands smugly. "After all, I'm rich. Playing house is a waste of my time." "Didn't you verify my capital when I came in? Just use the money on my account as the gaming chip then. What do you think?" Renee leaned back in her chair and suggested generously.Her words made Victor's eyes brighten. He sat up straight and asked, "Are you sure?" "Of course. You froze my cash, so I can't break my word even if I wanted to." "Yeah, you're right." After a brief contemplation, Victor asked, "What about me then? What do you want from me? It doesn't really matter because you won't win, but I need to make it clear for the sake of the rules." "If I win, I don't want money—I just want to ask you a question, and you have to answer it honestly. What do you think?" Renee calmly revealed her request."You want to… ask a question?" Victor thought tha

Renee had five cards. First, she played a card of three points, which was considered a very low card. Victor chuckled, then put down a card of seven points. Renee followed with a card of eleven points, then Victor submitted a card of thirteen points. It was clear that Victor was way ahead of Renee—his score was eight points higher than Renee's. The only way Renee could win at this point was if she had a Joker with her. If not, she would definitely lose."I'm sorry, I don't think you'll be able to break my streak this time." Victor put down a King and said wickedly, "Your 20 million dollars is only enough for one round. Do you want to continue?" Renee had only one card left with her, and it would decide the total points of her cards. Victor knew she couldn't have the Joker with her because he had modified those two cards. If Renee had any of the Jokers, he would be able to see it, and he hadn't seen them in her hand. "Don't be so sure of yourself." Renee smiled at Victor sweetly, the

Victor immediately agreed to Renee's demands. If he kept fussing about that issue, he was afraid that his shameless tricks would be exposed. "Just ask me whatever you want. I'll tell you if I know," Victor answered cooperatively. Renee nodded and fished out Stefan's photograph. "Have you seen him?""Him?" Victor looked at the man in the photograph with an admiring gaze. "Isn't that Stefan Hunt, the president of Hunt Enterprise? I'm sure everyone in Beach City knows him. Aren't you asking the obvious?" "Yeah, anyone who watches TV or plays with their phone will know who Mr. Hunt is.""This woman asked such a boring question after so much trouble. I think she's here to wreck this place!"Like Victor, the other people gathered there teased and mocked her.Renee clenched her fists and suppressed her anger, explaining, "I mean, have you seen him here for the past three days?""The past three days..." Victor hesitated briefly, then shook his head. "No, there would have been an uproa

"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
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
