The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 343
Stefan was so angry that he wanted to choke Elijah to death. He narrowed his eyes and hissed, "How could she just vanish into thin air? That's ridiculous!""Right? We've tried searching all we could but failed to track Ms. Everheart's whereabouts… By the way, Ms. Everheart's nanny Margaret disappeared along with her…"Elijah sighed repeatedly and apologized. "Mr. Hunt, I've tried my best, but I can't help. If you don't believe me, you'll have to do it yourself!"Stefan didn't hesitate and immediately took a private jet back to Beach City.Stefan firmly believed that anyone alive would leave a track of activity. 'That's impossible. How could she have completely disappeared? Unless… She's still in Beach City!' thought Stefan. He did not mind using all the power he had to find her.Stefan sent more men to search all of Beach City. He also had Christopher and Xavier use whatever method they could to search for her.Xavier had recovered by this time and was discharged from the hospita

"I mean it literally," Stefan confessed with an expressionless face and steady breath.Anyway, the baby and Renee were gone. It did not matter anymore whether the secret was kept or made public."W-what?" Xavier gapped in shock.Christopher had a similar reaction to Xavier's. He spent about ten minutes sorting out the whole story. After a good while, he finally let out a long sigh. "Stef, you're such a fool. It must be aggravating."Stefan said coldly, "I'm fine. My late brother saved my life. I have to give my all to fulfill his last wish, but unfortunately… I can't do anything!"Stefan slammed his fist hard on the table. His eyes were slightly red. It was clear that he felt very guilty about Tristan."Of course you're fine. It's your wife who suffered!"Xavier could not help but fight for Renee. "If you feel responsible for Tristan's death, so be it, but why did you have to hurt Renee? You did so much for Briar and her child, but what about Renee? She was married to you for fo

"I almost choked her to death. Did I go too far?" Stefan asked."Yes and no." Xavier was an outsider and said impartially, "Considering your usual behavior, choking someone wasn't the worst thing I've seen you do, but… I think hurting Renee was a little too much."Xavier had never seen the usually sober and sensible Stefan in such distraught in all their years of friendship, heartbroken to see the state Stefan was in despite finding his actions maddening. Therefore, he toned down his words."She deserved it!" Stefan's calmness evaporated instantly like a long-dormant volcano that erupted suddenly. His voice was cold. "It's only fair to repay a life with a life!"Xavier took a step backward in shock and grimaced. He ridiculed, "Okay, fine. It's fair. So are we spending so much effort to find her for you to continue choking her to death?"Stefan hissed coldly, "We'll talk about that when we get her back!"Xavier and Christopher exchanged a glance, smiling. They shrugged and shook t

Truthfully, Stefan knew all too well that Renee couldn't possibly be living in Hunt Villa.Even so, he still had the faintest hope that a miracle might happen.It's a little funny. In the past, he used to be decisive and never hesitated about anything. Why had he become so indecisive and illogical?Stefan walked into the bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed and carefully ran his fingers across the duvet. It was as if he was caressing her hair, her face, and her soft, fair skin…All he could think about was Renee.He thought of the times she smiled at him, when she was angry, when she yelled at him, when she was embarrassed, and finally, when she turned around and left without looking back.There was an emptiness inside him. It was like an endless spiral that devastated his soul!"Damn it!" Stefan took a deep breath. He couldn't go on like this.His life shouldn't be affected so drastically just because a woman left him. He shouldn't be suffering like this.Besides, that woma

"I never thought 'love at first sight' actually existed in this world. We met in the most beautiful way possible, but we spent our time together in the worst way imaginable… I knew he didn't love me, but he had no choice but to marry me. That's why I can understand why he treated me so coldly the way he did…"I guess he must have had a lot on his mind—dreams, poems, songs, ambitions, the girl he loved… everything but me. Even so, I still cried tears of joy when we exchanged vows in front of the priest and put the ring on each other's fingers. I fantasized about the day I'd finally find a place in his heart… even if just a tiny part!"I cried my lungs out. He was petrified when he saw me in that state. Although he was disgusted, he still wiped my tears away and put the ring on my finger. He was cold yet gentle… At that moment… I started falling."Chapter Three, The Long Wait."I've imagined us doing things together after getting married…watching variety shows on the couch, building

"Are you serious?" Stefan looked at Xavier with a cold gaze. His eyes instantly lit up."My men just sent me a message. They said they saw her at an antique market in Water Dock. Here are the photos they sent me," Xavier gushed.He quickly switched on his phone and zoomed in on a photo for Stefan.This was a photo taken from the side. The woman's tall nasal bridge and collar bones looked perfectly identical to Renee's.That wasn't all. She even had on the same white dress Renee once wore.This unclear photo of her face from the side was enough to ignite Stefan's passion and hope!He didn't even hesitate for a split second before standing to his feet. "Let's have a look."The two drove to Water Dock. Meanwhile, Christopher stayed at Hunt Villa in case of an emergency.Xavier saw Stefan clinging tightly to a notebook. He couldn't help but feel curious. "Stef, is your notebook a confidential document? Why won't you put it down?""It isn't," Stefan replied coldly. He looked out th
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 349
The emotions Xavier felt were equally intense as those of Stefan!"Huh. Is that all?" Xavier flipped through the notebook and began complaining loudly while thumping his chest. "It's getting to the fun part. Why did it stop here? Who is the author? We should have that person whipped in public!"Stefan subconsciously moved a little further away for fear that Xavier might accidentally hit him.Xavier read the novel multiple times before he realized something. "Stefan, are the male and female leads actually you and your wife?"Stefan rolled his eyes at Xavier. "Who else could they be?""Did she write this? Are the things she wrote all true?""Half of it!" Stefan replied."Although not all details were accurate, her description of how they treated each other in the novel was nearly identical to how their marriage went in real life.Xavier seemed shocked. He held the notebook as if he was holding a precious treasure. "I never knew your wife was this good at writing! I was close to t
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 350
Amidst the tension, they arrived at Water Dock.Xavier smiled ambiguously at Stefan. "Stef, why don't we have a friendly competition? If you find her first, I'll accept the fact that she's yours and will forever consider her out of my reach. However, if I find her first… I'll make my move!""Whatever," Stefan replied nonchalantly."You're the most generous man in Beach City!" Xavier exclaimed before opening the door and hastily getting out of the car. He immediately started searching for Renee.Stefan, on the other hand, slowly got out of the car and smoothed out the wrinkles on his high-end suit. Like an emperor on tour, he scanned the surroundings arrogantly.Water Dock's antique market was the largest antique market in Beach City.Since it was located at a strategic intersection between several countries, many valuable treasures were smuggled and sold there. As a result, many local traders became wealthy. Likewise, with increased wealth came an increased crime rate. The area a

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.

"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

"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
