The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1754
It had been a long time since Renee and Justin last met, and Renee was surprised to bump into him here. Once she had calmed down, she suggested taking a tour of the large casino with him as her guide.Osk Casino was considered one of the top casinos in Beach City. Renee had heard about it but had not visited it or looked it up—she hadn't expected that Justin was the boss of the famous Osk Casino though. "It's good that you're a boss at such a young age. I thought the owner of this casino was an old man given this extravagance, decoration, and style." After seeing all the five floors of the building, Renee gave Justin a thumbs-up. Justin was three years younger than Renee, but he had achieved much more than her."Stop teasing me—my achievements are nothing compared to yours. Plus, I didn't gain this business. My grandpa set it up first, and I'm just enjoying its success." Justin smiled humbly."But as a Baldwin, you successfully established a large casino in Beach City where the Hunt

Renee let go of Justin's arm in satisfaction. "That's more like it." Justin rubbed his sore arm and complained, "You're still as violent as ever, Phoenix.""Do you want more?" Justin immediately became humble and pitiful again. "No, please stop. I'm just saying that despite how much time has passed, our relationship is still the same." Back then, Justin would surely get hurt whenever they met. His arms would almost be broken, or he would have to suffer a few punches. His feelings would be hurt too. However, despite everything… he quite liked that kind of feeling. He was probably a masochist."Well, I might not be as strong as before, but it's more than enough to deal with a boy like you," Renee said confidently.Justin scowled at her. "Can you stop calling me that? I'm not a boy.""You're not?" "I'm most certainly not, thank you very much.""But you're younger than me.""Fine, I can't deny that." Justin seemed to enjoy their banter, and didn't argue anymore after that. "O

After thinking about it for a long time, Renee decided to meet Timothy. She heard that he was ill and had wanted to visit him, but hadn't because of her messy situation. However, the information she had gotten from Justin might be related to Stefan, so she had to go. All she cared about at that moment was Stefan—she wanted to know where he was, and most importantly, if he was still alive."Justin, I'm sorry for troubling you. I mistook you for Stefan and made a scene… I'll compensate you for whatever I destroyed here, and I really hope the casino does well." Renee apologized to Justin with her hands together, then got up to leave."Where are you going?" Justin stood up and asked worriedly."I'm going to look for him!" Renee smiled sadly. "Honestly, I feel like a kid looking for her mother. I don't have a plan but I'll try to get information from whoever I can meet." She had already gone to Briar, Jovan, and Justin to find Stefan; Next on her list was Timothy. Eventually, she had to

Timothy was lying on a lounge chair near the balcony, watching the rain outside the window. His bedroom was facing the garden, where a few Musa basjoo trees had been planted below his window. Those trees were almost as old as him, and they were tall and dense. Raindrops dripped from their branches and leaves, giving off a gloomy atmosphere. "Old Mr. Hunt, look who's here," Asher happily informed Timothy.Timothy did not turn around, and just said indifferently, "It must be Ren, right? The one I've been wanting to meet…""Grandpa..." Renee walked over and kneeled beside the chair, holding his arm gently. "How did you know it's me?""It's because I've been looking forward to seeing you every day!" Timothy looked at her and patted her head. "Silly girl, it's been such a long time. You should have come and met me sooner!""I-I..." "What's the matter? Do you hate me?""No, I always thought about you, but so many things happened lately and I… I was too ashamed to meet you." "Ah, y
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1758
Renee could tell that she wouldn't get any answers from Timothy, and disappointment filled her. Timothy sighed when he saw Renee's crestfallen expression. "Ren, stop overthinking. There's always a way around things. Look at my family and the Baldwins—we've been fighting each other for so many years, but it's slowly been resolved. I believe that the thing between you and Stef isn't irresolvable; Just wait, and time will give you an answer."Renee smiled bitterly and asked Timothy, "Since you brought it up, Grandpa… Did you make peace with the Baldwin family?""I guess you can put it that way." Timothy looked ahead. "I already have one foot in the grave, and it made me realize that grudges are nothing compared to death. Austin and I used to be best friends, but we fell out with each other because of some silly misunderstandings. I'm going to die soon, so I don't want to keep on fighting him. If we make peace, it'll be beneficial for our descendants too.""Is that it?" Renee was doub

Justin felt that though Stefan was arrogant, he was also cautious and insightful. As Stefan's enemy, he had to be on guard if Stefan was managing Hunt Enterprise, but now that Jovan was running it… it was too easy and wasn't fun anymore. He tilted his head and offered Jovan a lazy smirk. "If it wasn't for my grandpa telling us not to fight, your family would be done for.""Shut up!" Enraged, Jovan grabbed Justin's collar. "Are you testing my patience or my family's power? Do you think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you since you're in Hunt Manor?"Justin shrugged casually. "Go ahead and do what you want. If you beat me up to vent your anger now, your grandpa will just make you apologize to me later. How humiliating would that be, hmm?" "Apologize?" Jovan scoffed. "You must be dreaming!" He raised his hand to punch Justin. Renee had finished her chess game with Timothy, and was coming down the stairs when she saw Jovan and Justin. Her eyes widened and she shouted, "Jovan, stop!
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1760
Renee's teasing remark made Jovan and Justin break out in a cold sweat."What? You want me to be his friend? I'd rather kill myself!" Jovan pretended to vomit. "I wouldn't go to that extent, but it's worse than killing myself if I have to befriend such a childish man," Justin scoffed in disgust.Renee found their argument amusing and shook her head. "Okay, it's getting late. I need to go home." Renee had gained no new information and was mentally exhausted. She wanted to go home and rest, leaving her worries aside for the moment."Are you going home? The weather is terrible. Why don't you spend the night here?" Naturally, Jovan didn't want Renee to leave. "This is also your home, and the maids keep your room clean and well-maintained under Grandpa's orders. If you spend the night here, he'll be very happy.""That's unnecessary. It's more comfortable staying at one's own home. What Phoenix needs the most is a relaxing rest at home..." Justin extended his arm and said to Renee char

"I don't know, but I'm sure that I drive faster than you!" While talking, Jovan started the car and sped into the heavy rain."Do you have to argue about this too?" Justin smacked his forehead, speechless. "Fine, you're faster. You're always faster than me."Meanwhile, Renee had taken Justin's car and left on her own. At first, she felt that it was dangerous, but she gave in when she saw Jovan and Justin bickering endlessly. Besides, she had purposely driven in the opposite direction so they wouldn't be able to catch up to her. Now, she could get rid of them and have some peace.The situation on the road was bad since it was raining. Raindrops splattered on the windshield loudly, and though the wipers were on the highest speed, it was still insufficient. Besides, Renee had yet to get used to her new pair of eyes. She had used them too much in the morning, and they were aching. Her vision was blurry, and it felt like she was driving with her eyes closed. Luckily, since the weather wa

"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
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.
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
