The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 656
Xavier felt a little awkward. He felt the need to do some explaining.Renee, on the other hand, nodded proudly. "Of course. Xavier and I shared significant life experiences together and a similar outlook on life. We also have the same hobbies. Of course, we get along well!""..." Stefan's gaze turned cold. He pursed his lips and remained silent.Seraphina hopped onto her feet and pointed at Renee. "Ms. Everheart, even if I end up offending you, there are things I have to say. We're both women. We may be heartless, but there are still limits to what we should do. Don't you think you're being a bitch? You bring shame to all women!""Oh, why say so?" Renee nearly laughed.Seraphina was really good at this game. Renee hadn't even exposed her for being pretentious, and she already took the first move to defame Renee.Just as she thought… Seraphina was as tough a woman as she was smart!"You and Xavier were being too intimate just now. I don't care what your relationship with him is.
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 657
Seeing how the situation was getting intense, Xavier tried to make peace yet again."Alright, alright. I hereby announce that Renee and I are merely friends. There is nothing else going on between us. As for Stef and Seraphina, they're definitely like siblings and nothing else. Shirley and I aren't exactly together yet. Therefore, everyone's still single. We're free to be romantically involved with anyone we like!"It's rare for us to get together like this. Let's just enjoy each other's company and not cause a scene. That's something only elementary school kids would do. If everyone's on board, let's bump fists and call it a day. Alright?" Xavier extended his fist after that.Seraphina was the first to respond by bumping her fist against his.If she still held a grudge against Renee now, she'd seem too calculative.That was why she decided to change her tactic."Ms. Everheart, since it's a misunderstanding, I'll apologize to you. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions…"I'm actua

"Oww!!! It hurts!" A piece of hot charcoal landed on Seraphina's foot and she yelped in pain.The men, who were chatting out in the open, heard the noise, and they all came running. Everyone surrounded Seraphina."What happened? Why did the grill suddenly topple over? Were you two roasting skewers or yourself?" Xavier was confused by the chaotic scene."Stop your sarcasm already. Can't you see that I burned my foot? Hurry up and help me out! What if it leaves a scar?" Seraphina grabbed her foot and clenched her jaws. She was nearly crying.Moses risked taking a beating and continued to mock her. "It's rare to see Seraphina in such a weak state. The charcoal has really done justice for us!"Seraphina swung her fist in his direction. "Moses, how could you say that? Just wait. I'm going to beat you up!"Everyone quickly stopped her. They were all worried about her burned foot, and everyone was focused on her.Christopher silently observed for a moment. "Seraphina, your wound looks

Renee looked up expectantly, but a look of disappointment and surprise soon filled her eyes."Christopher?"Christopher had his back to the sun. He looked like Prince Charming from the novel. "This is quite effective. Hurry up and use it. You don't want any scars to form!""How did you know I…" Renee had an awkward expression on her face.She was trying hard to hide the amount of pain she was in earlier. It wasn't because she was mentally strong, and it also wasn't because her skin was too thick to feel any pain.Instead, she just didn't want to appear too insignificant next to Seraphina while everyone surrounded her."I noticed your facial expression wasn't natural earlier. I figured that you were probably burned too, but I'm sure you have your reasons for not wanting it to be known," Christopher said gently, like how an older brother would. He made Renee feel very safe.Renee sighed and laughed bitterly. Without realizing it, she was opening up to him."You were all so worrie

Renee didn't go home after leaving Hunt Manor.The ridiculous incident the night before, coupled with her burned arm, left her feeling a little troubled. Undoubtedly, it had left her in a sour mood.She decided to only return home after calming down so that Margaret and her children wouldn't worry.After calling Margaret to let her know she was safe, she opened her contacts and tried looking for someone she could vent to.However, apart from Leia, she couldn't find anyone else.Thinking about how Seraphina was spoiled by everyone, she suddenly felt a little jealous.The worst part was that Leia had gone to Tahato for a vacation to get over her recent break-up. She'd only return after two weeks at the very least.While going through her contacts, she suddenly thought of someone. Her eyes lit up instantly."That's right. I can find him. He's a professional at this!"At eight in the evening, colorful lights came on all around the city. The wonderful nightlife in the city had begu

The pub owner likely didn't expect Renee to be here to redeem the man's freedom and didn't quite know what to do at that moment."Why are you hesitating? You're asking them to dance and entertain the customers to earn money, right? So what's the difference if I make a full payment?" Renee asked.She knew money couldn't solve everything, but it did, at least, have the ability to solve most. At the very least, for greedy businesspeople like these, money was their kryptonite."You are absolutely right, Ms. Everheart. But we'd still have to think about this matter thoroughly. Why don't you wait for a bit while I discuss this with my business partners? We'll give you an answer shortly," the pub owner said and left the room. Although it was her excuse to leave, she actually was reporting back to Stefan."Buy my freedom?" Stefan seemed intrigued upon hearing this.After a short pause, he ordered the pub owner, "Tell her it's possible, but there would be terms…."I understand! Don't wo

Renee still remembered where the man lived, a cheap apartment near the pub.She was initially in a bad mood earlier today, but after the accomplishment of performing the good deed of 'saving a young man's future,' her mood naturally improved.By following her memory, she arrived at Isaac's apartment unit and rang the doorbell.A while later, the door swung open as Isaac walked out in a simple white shirt and black formal pants. His handsome face was once again wearing his usual white feather mask. He looked like he had been waiting for Renee for quite some time."It's been a while, my goddess. I thought you forgot about me…" The man's voice was gentle.Renee instantly felt like spring had come and couldn't help but lift the man by the chin. She smiled and said, "How could I ever forget you, my little escort? Your last hypnosis helped me get great rest! I've long wanted to have you do that again to me, you know?""It really is an honor… Don't worry, my goddess; I will give my all

"Who cares?!" Renee felt enraged for some reason, despite her being in a good mood at the start. "Do you lack tact or something? Why would you even mention that jerk out of nowhere? It's repulsing!"Stefan's expression darkened, yet still hid his anger. "What did he do to you to make you hate him so much?""He's a jerk. That's what he is!" Renee clenched her jaw. "I slept with him for all but one night, and he's threatening me with it the next day and made me cook skewers for him and his friends… Honestly, how could he?!""Is that it?" Stefan found it hilarious. He sometimes found Renee quite complicated, so much so that it felt like he never really understood her. Yet, at times, he found her as simple-minded as a child, devoid of cunning thoughts behind those crystal eyes.This juxtaposition made his heart feel rather conflicted as well.His rationality told him he should stay away from her, yet he still subconsciously wanted to get closer. That was why he came up with the ridi

"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

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

Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2411
"What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

"I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr
