“But I don't think you like my brother, do you? He's always been your underling. No boss marries their underling.”“Marriage is less about liking someone and more about whether the person is suitable.”Renee smiled self-deprecatingly. "Take me, for example. You know how much I loved a certain man in the past? And how did that work out?”“It's hard for me to become close with someone, especially men. Liam has been by my side all these years—helping me, supporting me, warming my heart. He makes me feel at ease. I don't think there's anyone in this world more suitable for me than him.”“The reason you would think he's suitable for you is because he suppresses his own nature to appeal to you... no, that's not entirely right.” Leia frowned as she searched for the right words. "It's like he's hiding his sharp edges to cater to you. In truth, my brother is extremely cocky. He has lots of ideas, lots of ambition, and he's very capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't be notoriously known as the “Su

“Private property?” Renee glared at the man with a frown.The man was wearing a security guard uniform. He should be a staff member responsible for guarding this area.“What are you talking about? This is my friend's house. How could it be your private property?”Leia, who was notorious for her violent temper, yelled at the security guard, "We're going in right now. Get out of the way!”“I don't care who owns this house, this land has been included within the scope of expropriation, which makes it a private property. Our boss said that no one can enter without his permission,” The security guard straightened up and replied fiercely.“Hey, do you understand human language? Do you want me to beat you up?”Leia rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to fight with the security guard.She was not that good at fighting, but she knew Renee was. With Renee by her side, she was afraid of no one!“You can beat me up, but even if you kill me today, I can't let you in. This is m

Renee nodded and said, "I won't be going in today.”Leia was incredulous. She gripped Renee and said, "You're gonna leave just like that? This house has a special meaning to you. It's gonna be turned into a garbage treatment plant! Don't you find it insulting? How can you stand it?”Renee took a deep breath and answered with a serious expression, "Of course I can't stand it, but there's no point arguing with a security guard. He's just doing his job.”“Then what are you gonna do?”“Find the mastermind behind the scenes who's targeting this piece of land and make him give up.”“The mastermind behind the scenes?”Leia was puzzled. "Didn't the security guard say it's an order from the Municipal Planning Department? Then it's a government project. What mastermind behind the scenes are you talking about?”“It may look like a government project on the surface, but it's definitely driven by a business organization. So, to solve this problem, we must deal with the business organization

“Really?” Renee's interest was piqued.When she investigated Rubio just now, she also checked the physical location of the top donor's IP address in passing. The location was in the Hunt Enterprise. It was obvious who was behind the account.Renee did not expect Stefan, who was usually so proud and arrogant, to simp so hard in order to meet her. It completely shattered his ruthless and cold persona.She could not wait to laugh at him.“Tell him to wait for a while. I'll be right there.”Renee got up, turned off the computer, took a long, comfortable stretch, and went to the Red House Restaurant.“Ren, over here!”Mandy was at the restaurant entrance, waving at Renee from afar.She managed to achieve financial freedom from one single live stream, so she decided to splurge this time and booked the entire Red House Restaurant for an evening. It could not have been cheap because it was one of the top restaurants in Beach City.Renee parked her car and got out.Today, her curly ha

Mandy leaned against the elevator wall and said dreamily while taking in the bustling and gorgeous nighttime scenery.Renee naturally did not believe in these legends that were meant to fool children. She said with a smile, "So if I miss a founding father really, really badly, would I encounter an elevator filled with cash?”“C'mon, Renee. You're not romantic at all. If you don't look forward to a sweet encounter, how would you meet your true love?”“Let me teach you a life lesson as an older woman, Mandy. To live a good life, true love wouldn't help much. Money is way more important. Something like true love will only become a weapon for others to hurt you with,” Renee told Mandy seriously. She did not look like she was joking at all.Although these words sounded too cruel for an eighteen-year-old girl who had just started to develop romantic feelings, the earlier she understood this fact, the less she would get hurt.Mandy shook her head and said, "Ren, I don't agree with what y

“Stop!”Renee reached out and placed her hands between them while saying with a weird smile, "Not so close. Our relationship is one of purely friendship, so we should maintain an appropriate distance from each other.”“It's purely friendship to you, but not to me...”A mischievous smile crept onto Haze's handsome and unruly face. Not only did he not keep his distance, he even grabbed Renee's wrist and tried to pull her into his arms... Of course, the consequences were dire!With dexterous movements, Renee counter-grappled his hand and easily held it behind his back. He might be nearly 1.9 meters tall, but she had him under total control.“You little brat, how dare you try to tease me. Do you realize your mistake now?”Renee kept exerting more and more strength, wishing to teach Haze a lesson.Haze's arm was about to break. He gritted his teeth in pain but did not plead for mercy. Instead, he smiled happily. "What mistake? Is it against the law to like you? You disappeared for fo

Haze's handsome face was visibly overjoyed.As long as Renee had really gotten over Stefan, he believed that he would be able to move her with his sincerity one day.“You don't have any chance. After I finish my tasks here, I'm going to marry someone.”Renee said calmly while cutting her steak.Haze's expression immediately changed. He asked, "Marry someone? Who?”“I have no obligation to tell you.”Haze was only nervous for a second. He then became very calm and confident. He said, "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as his family name isn't Hunt, and as long as you haven't married him, I'm confident that I can make you fall in love with me.”“It's good to have confidence, but you should use it in the right place.”Renee raised her head and looked Haze in the eye. "Now, can you tell me what Stefan's schedule is for this evening?”“See? You still care about him...” Haze sighed and said truthfully, "His itinerary showed that he, like you, has a candlelight dinner planned for

However, the encounter was too brief. It came and went in an instant, like two meteors that streaked past each other.One of them was going up while the other was going down. Neither of them stopped for the other.“Hah, it seems Mr. Top Donor still cares about you. He's here for the dinner appointment.”When they arrived at the ground floor, Haze joked with a playful grin.“He can do whatever he wants. It's none of my concern.”Renee walked gracefully to the parking lot, as if the encounter had never happened.“You're not gonna go up and have a chat with him?”“The agreed time for the dinner is from 8 pm to 11 pm. It's already a quarter past 11. It's his fault that he came late. My time's precious too. Why should I stay for him?”Renee words were both rational and ruthless.“True. Maybe he's here for a dinner date with Briar. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't have been so cold when you saw each other just now, as if he didn't even know you.”Haze put his hands in his pockets

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.

"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
