The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2202
"He's not afraid of getting killed," Renee said calmly, facing Liam and Justin's mockery with a poker face.Stefan was disloyal or heartless, but she knew that he was never afraid of getting killed. If he were, he would not have risked his life to save her repeatedly. Liam hated how Renee defended Stefan without any boundaries. He frowned and refuted, "If he wasn't, why didn't he come himself?" After some contemplation, Renee laughed in self-mockery. "Maybe… He might want to avoid suspicion." After all, he was dating someone new. If he risked his life to save his ex-lover, it would be very impudent of him."Uh…" Liam opened his mouth, wanting to say something nasty, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. Renee's words seemed more hurtful… In a while, the car reached the fort. Naturally, Benjamin was alerted since there was such a big scene. All the armed forces of the fort were dispatched. The whole fort was brightly lit though it was late at night. Everyone was fully ar

It was sarcastic. Amber admired her father, but he never took her seriously. At most, he regarded her as an inferior woman who could only support her husband and brought no value.Amber suddenly realized that her pathetic life wasn't the outcome of her character or someone else's fault. Her fate was long decided since she grew up in such a family with such a male chauvinist as her father."Mr. Jenkins, you can't say that!" Liam snapped.He understood Amber. She looked delicate but had unique thoughts and ambitions. However, she did not have the chance to show herself.Finally, Liam raised her self-awareness. She could boldly express herself and realize her true self. She had yet to do anything, so it was infuriating to see Benjamin put her down."Stop being so old-fashioned! Men and women are the same. You kept praising me, saying I was smart and good at doing business. But Renee is more awesome than me. We established Azure Group together, and she spent a lot of effort on it. I

Two men grabbed Amber and tied her up. They hung her on the pillar at the entrance of the fort."Stop!" Liam yelled, anxious. He rushed to Benjamin and roared, "Are you out of your mind? She's your daughter! Why do you have to torture her like this?!""I can't see her be this ungrateful because she's my daughter." Benjamin was frosty, his disappointment in Amber apparent.Then he instructed the two men who were responsible for hanging Amber. "Pull her higher! Tighten the rope!""Ah!" Amber was lifted in the air. The pull almost tore her apart, making her cry out in pain."Put her down now! We can talk it out!" Liam yelled, nervous. He kept rebuking Benjamin as he ran to the entrance, and tried to carry Amber to reduce her pain.However, she was raised too high. Though he was standing on tiptoe, he could only hold her ankles. He couldn't relieve her pain at all. Both Renee and Justin were shocked by what they had seen."You guys said he had no weakness, but I didn't believe you

"What?! Master, how could you?" Mateo looked at Benjamin in disbelief. He didn't expect Benjamin to say that."What? Are you going to say no?" Benjamin looked at Mateo condescendingly with a hollow smile. "I know you want my position. At first, I tried to choose between you and Liam. I wanted to see which of you could win my daughter's heart."Then, I figured something out. Women are always too passionate. They'd cause delays and might fall for the wrong guy. The business I worked so hard for my whole life would end up in the traitor's hand. I might as well get rid of her to stop wasting my time and effort."It sounded like Amber had broken Benjamin's heart, so he decided to get rid of that annoying daughter of his.That kind of idea might sound illogical to other fathers, but it was reasonable for Benjamin since he was already a crazy demon who had killed many people.Mateo swallowed and said shakily, "Master, Gem's your most beloved daughter. It's okay if you punish her if you'r

"Is it…not serious?" Justin looked at Benjamin, who had gone berserk. He said helplessly, "Don't you think he's as crazy as Macsen? These people can do anything if they're crazy! He doesn't even want his daughter. I think he might kill all of us!""I don't think so." Renee was quite calm. "He isn't a fool even though he's crazy. It won't do him any good if he kills us.""Fine. You're calm."Justin sighed and said carefully, "You turned down my suggestion to ask for assistance. It's not because you're confident that we can escape. You just don't want to meet Stefan, do you?" He felt that he knew Renee—she acted tough and indifferent, but she cared about that very much. She would rather fight Benjamin with a slim chance to win instead of owning Stefan a favor. It meant that she had yet to forget about him. "Yes, I don't want to meet him, especially in such a way," Renee confessed, flexing her fingers. She smiled helplessly and added, "I owe him a great deal. It's best if we don'

"None of you did anything wrong," Benjamin said icily, "but I want to know your stand. If you kill her, you don't have any worry. I'll know you're someone who can do something big."If you can't do it, it means that you aren't suited to take over my position because your sentiments will get in the way sooner or later. They'll make you an indecisive coward!""But I…" Mateo held the shiny knife and bent forward. He looked at Benjamin and Amber, then hung his head in defeat. "I can't do that.""What can't you do?" Benjamin narrowed his eyes and looked at the collapsed Mateo coldly."I can't kill Gem…" Mateo staggered and sobbed. "I grew up with her. She's kind and delicate. I'd long sworn to protect her my whole life. I can't watch her get hurt! But now, you're asking me to kill her. I can't do it… I'd rather kill myself!""Hmph! You can't even do that. If someone catches her and threatens you to betray me one day, you'll do that without hesitation. So, my worry is logical," Benjamin

"No!"Unexpectedly, the seemingly desperate Mateo who insisted that he couldn't do it actually tried to stab Amber.At that critical moment, Liam roared and subconsciously stood in front of Amber. The sharp knife pierced his heart. For a moment, blood gushed out. "Liam!" Amber's eyes widened as her mind went blank. She watched him fall in front of her though he was initially hugging her."Liam!" Both Leia and Xavier's car arrived later than the others. When Leia got out of the car, she witnessed that scene and almost blacked out."Be careful!" Xavier held her in a hurry, anxious for her. He couldn't believe what he had seen."Liam!" Renee rushed over immediately. She inspected Liam's chest and tried to stop the bleeding for him."I'm going to kill you!" Leia went berserk. She staggered toward Mateo and pounced on him, trying to strangle him."I… I didn't mean it…" When Mateo saw the knife in Liam's chest, he instantly regained his wits. He kept shaking his head and retreating.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2209
Leia was leaning into Xavier's arms and trembling nervously.Renee paced back and forth at the door, looking guilty. "It's all my fault!" She flexed her fingers and bit the back of her fist, filled with reproach."It has nothing to do with you. Stop blaming yourself." Justin patted her shoulder, hoping to help her relax a bit. "You aren't a superwoman. You can't do everything well. Plus, it's hard for us to do anything under this circumstance. It's hard to control.""No, I knew that Benjamin didn't want to kill Amber. He just wanted to test Mateo and Liam…"Renee was teary as she reflected on what had happened. She felt that she could have stopped that if she was more sensitive and active."I guessed that Mateo would attack Amber and that Liam might resist, but I didn't expect him to use his body to block the knife. Is this some kind of melodramatic movie? I taught him so many self-defense techniques. Why was he so dumb? If I stopped it earlier, this would never have happened!"R

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
The Untouchable Ex-Wife 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-Wife 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 guess… 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 wrong…? 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
