The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2070
For a moment, the atmosphere in the class became tense."Fine! I'll go!" Quinton snarled, flying into a rage. He couldn't understand the meaning of wasting his time there. Besides, he didn't want to recall his past self from Joanne's words. It was heartbreaking.In the past, he was weak as he endured all the grievance and unfairness. He was too timid to resist the Garcia family from oppressing him. Joanne probably saw him as bright, wonderful, and pure, but it was humiliating for him. Now that he had experienced power and superiority, he would never recall the past fondly. All he wanted was to erase his past."Study on your own. I must've gone crazy these days to stay here like a clown. I won't come again!" Then, Quinton got up to leave the class.Renee leaned on the railing, playing a mobile game to kill time. A bad premonition rose in her when she saw Quinton walk out of the class in a fit of anger."What's wrong?" "Nothing!" Quinton looked grumpy. "I'm such a fool. I want

"Leroy found an ancient tomb there with a lot of treasure. The local Cultural Relics Bureau has been alerted, and they're negotiating at the moment. I need to rush there to see if a compromise is possible."Quinton had delayed his business while acting as Joanne's study buddy.Leroy Hollis had informed him about the ancient tomb a week ago, but he was too focused on his studies and didn't pay too much attention to that news. Consequently, the news leaked that week, and the Cultural Relics Bureau was alerted. They wanted all the treasures, or Leroy would be punished severely.Based on the photos sent by Chase, it was clear the tomb came with a long history and was an authentic royal tomb. Any item found in there would cost a fortune. If all the treasures were confiscated by the bureau, it would be a great loss for Carmine Pawnshop. Besides, Leroy had worked for Carmine Pawnshop for many years. If he was arrested and implicated Carmine Pawnshop, it would be very troublesome. If Qu

Joanne looked at the test paper on the table and was silent for a long time. Then, she said thoughtfully, "Instead of making him be my study buddy, I hoped to see his past self. Isn't it ridiculous?"In the past, she liked Quinton very much. She liked the man the TV station would interview because he was charming, wise, and bright. She preferred the days when he was bright and optimistic.If they could return to the night before her college entrance examination, she might choose to hide the incident that caused her pain. If she did so, Quinton wouldn't try to seek justice for her and fall out with her family. Their lives might be different.Unfortunately, there was no time machine. After all, it had happened. The past couldn't be reversed.Renee grabbed the chance to sound out Joanne's thoughts. "You still care about him, don't you? You don't hate him, so you can't cut off from him. Am I right?" She felt that both Joanne and Quinton were insincere. They claimed that they hate

Renee shook her head. "I've experienced a lot of pain, but they're bygones now. They're like the scars on my hands. Slowly, they don't hurt anymore. For example, seeing your parents jump off a tall building and fall in front of you in a pool of blood. Then, your beloved man ignored and betrayed you… There are so many examples. Pain is individual and can't be compared or quantified.""I think I understand." Joanne took a deep breath as if she was suddenly enlightened. "I always thought that my life was dark and dull," she said gloomily. "My destiny was miserable. But when I think about it, I feel that it isn't easy for everyone. Everyone's bound to have some regrets in their lives. I shouldn't dwell on my past and keep using it to punish my current self.""That's right. It's what I want to tell you." Renee felt better because Joanne was finally enlightened.They continued with their lesson. When Joanne resumed studying, she was more attentive than ever. Her messy thoughts no lo

"What do you want to know?" Joanne had turned serious. She was curious about what Renee wanted to ask."I can affirm your parents wouldn't adopt an unrelated boy for no reason, given their character," Renee said. "Probably, they might even sell him to another person. But they adopted him, which was unprecedented. Although they weren't nice to him, they fed and raised him. So, I wanted to know…"After a pause, she continued, "How did they adopt my brother? Or did someone let them have him?""I'm not sure about that." Joanne frowned, trying hard to recall it. "He's only three years older than me. When I was old enough to remember things, he was already living at my home. But at that time, my family openly said he wasn't blood-related to us. So, I knew from the start that he wasn't my biological brother."But there was something quite special. My parents and biological brother had always been lazy. However, my family conditions were okay. They didn't work, but we had money for food an

"I know my family caused your brother's tragedy. I can't calmly make peace with him as if nothing has happened. My guilt doesn't allow me to do that. Plus, my hatred didn't drive me away from him. It's because of my selfishness. I wanted to get away from the situation where I kept punishing myself. I'm so sorry!"Joanne's eyes were red as she sobbed and confessed everything to Renee.Her family had been torturing Quinton, turning him into a gloomy and vicious demon when in fact, he was God's favored child. However, Renee let bygones be bygones and kept helping Joanne. She pulled Joanne out of her abyss and kept teaching Joanne, leading Joanne into a normal path. It filled Joanne with shame."Don't say sorry to me. You and your family are different. You're my brother's light. I should thank you instead," Renee said. She took a deep breath as resentment gleamed in her eyes. "The mastermind hidden behind your family is the worst!"She had no way of knowing the past between tha

For the subsequent few days, Renee gave Joanne lessons while investigating the Garcia family's adoption of Quinton.However, the seemingly clear lead suddenly broke, as though someone deliberately and secretly stopped her. After several attempts, Renee grew more determined. She was certain there must be something fishy in it. One ordinary weekend, she took the two children hiking. The spot she chose was a wild mountain around 60 miles away from Beach City. Leia, her best friend, tagged along.Leia and Xavier had talked things out recently, and were quite lovey-dovey.The two children hiked quickly and steadily. Renee and Leia followed them calmly while chatting."Are you going to get married to Xavier soon?" Renee asked. "Oh, stop that! We're the kind of people who don't get married. We'll just enjoy our relationship," Leia said, gasping as she leaned on the hiking stick. She sounded quite casual. "Oh, so you guys won't get married?" "What's so great about getting marrie

Leia cleared her throat awkwardly. "Yes, he had rather advanced thoughts before. But honestly, the texts he sent me lately show that he has abandoned those ideas.""What do you mean?" Renee asked curiously.She hadn't gotten in touch with Liam lately, but he had sent her a letter inquiring about her affairs some time ago. However, he rarely brought up his situation. He just mentioned that he was doing very well, and told her to not worry about him. Even so, Renee would of course worry about him. Liam had sacrificed himself to help Renee and Joanne escape that hellish place. Renee had no idea how he was doing lately. She had wanted to visit him many times, but real-life circumstances kept her from doing so. "Is he doing fine? Is he having any problems?" Renee asked Leia eagerly."I guess…he's doing fine," Leia stammered.Finally, she failed to hold back the truth from Renee. "Actually, he texted me a few days ago and told me that he's going to marry the daughter of the mas

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.

"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
