The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1883
"Adie... Well, he..." Chase hesitated, but when he saw Quinton's menacing expression, he hurriedly said, "Adie said that he was happy on the island and didn't want to come home. He even asked us not to disturb him.""What?" Quinton, Leia, and the others were stunned. "Adie was kidnapped—he's not there on vacation! How could he possibly be having fun? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?" Leia asked in disbelief."I'm sure Adie didn't send that!" Quinton glared at Chase. "You're useless. You couldn't handle such a small thing, and you're now trying to lie to us? Get lost!""No, Boss… Adie did say that!" Chase quickly took his phone out and pointed at a text with a picture sent by Adie. "See? That's Adie, right? He even took a selfie, and he looks… happy."Everyone gathered around Chase to read the message. There was a picture of Adie attached to it, and in it, he was sitting on the beach and staring out at the ocean. He looked rather relaxed for someone who had supposedly been

Renee's calmness surprised the others."How do you know that Adie was the one who sent the message?" Quinton read the message over and over again and couldn't see anything unusual. He frowned in concern. "But we can't just let him be. Leave this to me—I'll bring Adie home safely." Quinton knew that Renee wouldn't recover well as long as she was worried about Adie… but Renee seemed strangely unbothered about the situation."Adie always adds exclusive codes to his messages, and if you decipher them, you'll find out his true thoughts…" Renee inhaled deeply and explained, "You won't be able to bring him back unless he wants to come back. You'll just be troubling yourselves, so I suggest waiting for him. Once he sees things through, he'll come home." In the past, Adie had gone to Beach City and even snuck into Hunt Enterprise on his own. If he could survive that, he could survive being kidnapped by an ordinary woman. Given Adie's capabilities, Renee was more worried about Tiffany's mother
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1885
Adie recalled how Madelyn acted like a wicked witch in the cave at first, but now, she was gentle and compassionate. It was like seeing two different people, and he had no idea what had happened in between. Maybe he had charmed Tiffany's mother, or maybe she had suddenly realized her mistake. All he knew was that Madelyn tied him and Tiffany up before moving them to that deserted island, and gave them food and water from time to time. At night, she would chat with them and sing nursery rhymes for them to put them to sleep. It was baffling. Tiffany seemed happy, but sometimes she cried and clung to Madelyn. Adie was very curious but kept himself from asking about it. Once Madelyn trusted him more, he would bring it up."It's because..." Madelyn stopped flicking the firewood as her gaze grew fierce. "I think of my dead child every time I look at you kids. It's so unfair... Why are you kids so loved by everyone while my child didn't even get to be born? I want you kids to die with my chi

"Madam, snap out of it!" Adie helplessly pointed at his face. "Look at me—I'm not your son. I'm Renee and Stefan's son, and I have nothing to do with you. Stop trying to steal me away!""You..." Madelyn covered her face as she burst into tears. "Why? Why is God punishing me like this? I just want a child who belongs to me… Is that too much to ask?""It isn't!" Adie shrugged and said bluntly, "Since Tiffany's father stopped you from having kids, you should divorce him and have kids with another man." "Don't you think I've thought of that?" Madelyn looked up, her face wet with tears. "After that incident, I became infertile… I can never be a mother for the rest of my life, which is why I hate her father and her. I hate everyone who stops me from being a mother!" Madelyn sobbed miserably. After graduating from college, she had married Damon, who had been married before. Besides, Damon had Tiffany too. Back then, Madelyn regarded Tiffany as her own daughter and gave Tiffany endless car

Tiffany watched Madelyn with teary eyes, then said carefully, "Mommy, I love you. I've always loved you. I've never been mad at you… and I've wronged my brother. Can you forgive me?" She was just a child, but she understood Madelyn's mood swings and feelings toward her. She did not blame Madelyn, and instead, held on by recalling how nicely Madelyn had treated her before. If Madelyn called her, Tiffany would rush over without hesitation regardless of how much Madelyn had hurt her. "No, I should be the one apologizing…" Madelyn admitted finally. "I wasn't good enough. I made you feel insecure, so you were anxious about the arrival of your brother. I wasn't good enough, so your daddy had no confidence that I would treat you well.""It's okay." Madelyn's words moved Tiffany to tears, and the little girl threw herself into Madelyn's arms. "I'll always be your daughter as long as you want me to. I see you as my biological mother!""Thank you for forgiving me. I hope this realization of

Adie was brave when he lived on Sun Island back then, but the one thing he feared was the yearly hurricane season. During that time, there would be heavy rain and strong winds, and trees and houses on the island would be uprooted. It was the scariest time of the year, which was why Adie had learned the signs of an impending hurricane."Hurricane?" Madelyn was stunned. "The weather forecast didn't mention any hurricanes.""Weather forecasts can't be trusted. Stop wasting time—we have to go now!" Adie shouted anxiously, the strong winds nearly knocking him to his feet."Go?" Madelyn looked around, dazed. "Where can we go? We can't sail the yacht in such weather, we'll end up in the sea." She suddenly regretted kidnapping the children and bringing them to such a dangerous place."Let's try to find a cave to shelter from the wind," Adie suggested calmly."That will do!" Madelyn was clueless about all this, so she just regarded Adie as the leader of their group.The three of them stag

The wind calmed a little half an hour later, but the downpour kept worsening. Stefan quickly docked the yacht, then got onto the island in the pouring rain. "Mr. Hunt, slow down... Wait!" The captain ran after Stefan with an umbrella, trying to shield him from the heavy rain. "This island is remote and undeveloped, and people don't dare to come here. We have to be careful in case we run into undercurrents or hidden caves." "I don't care about any of that!" Stefan snapped, "Get more manpower. I have to find my son!" Even a second of delay in this weather would be risky for Adie, and Stefan couldn't afford that. "But there's no signal here. We can't get in touch with the others!" The captain held the walkie-talkie up in the air, but there was no response or signal. It was impossible to get more manpower, and it was also dangerous because they couldn't contact a rescue team if needed."Keep trying, or go get the yacht and sail back to get some men. I'll look around on the island."

Madelyn and Stefan looked at each other in shock."Daddy, what are you doing here?" Adie asked in delight, then hurriedly added, "Where's Mommy? Did she come with you?""She..." After a pause, Stefan decided not to tell Adie the truth. "Something came up, so she might not be able to make it… It's okay though, it's the same as me picking you up." When he left, Renee was on the verge of death, and he didn't know what her current condition was. Since Adie was missing, he forced himself to suppress his worry for her, and left the hospital without looking back. He put all his heart into searching for Adie because he knew Renee would panic if she didn't see Adie when she woke up. He knew that Adie and Renee cared very much about each other, so he didn't want to worry Adie by telling him about Renee. "Hmph, it must have been important for her to ignore me like this…" Adie was jealous because Renee had chosen Stefan over him earlier, and the pain in his heart grew when he heard Stefan's wo

Then, Stefan calmly placed the crab leg on the plate in front of Leia. Leia was flabbergasted. She did not dare to move. She wondered what he was doing, and if he wanted to sacrifice her."Why aren't you eating it?" Stefan looked at Leia, sounding composed. Yet, he was full of the dominance that could burn anyone.Leia swallowed and gnashed her teeth, asking Stefan, "How could you peel the crab for me? Isn't it inappropriate?" She was the most cowardly person. Usually, she looked fierce and indignant as if she wanted to punish Stefan severely. But when he came to her and looked at her, she would be very frightened. She would not dare to do anything."Why not? Someone said women shouldn't peel the prawns or crabs themselves. I'm just being a gentleman. It's nothing serious. It's just peeling the crab!" Stefan said. It was rare to see him speak so much. It was incompatible with his contradictory identity. However, it was clear that he was mocking Justin and saying how ridiculo
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2428
Both Stefan and Justin mocked each other, which made the atmosphere more awkward. Although Liam and Leia were simply watching the fun, they felt awkward, too. It made them restless.Renee was having a hard time, too. She smacked the table and said to Stefan and Justin, "You'd better stop eating. Go out and fight. The food got cold because of your endless fight."When she spoke, she sounded like a class teacher with absolute authority. Although both Stefan and Justin were dissatisfied, they fell silent and did not dare to say more. Everyone started enjoying the great food, but said nothing. It seemed a little gloomy.Renee was about to get a prawn, but Justin had already peeled it nicely for her. He dipped it in some sauce and put it in Renee's bowl. "I know you love prawns the best. I've peeled it for you. Of course, women can't peel the prawns themselves.""Oh, Mr. Baldwin. You're considerate. You're a role model among the men. Anyone who marries you will be very happy!" Le

Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

"How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

"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.
