Renee and Chase secretly discussed how to lure the impostor Mr. Q out of the study."Ms. Everheart," said Chase with emotion, "although you are his sister, you are nothing at all like Boss. You have a kind disposition, and I'm assured that, at the very least, the impostor Mr. Q won't be so cruelly tortured once he was handed over to you.""You speak as if my brother is a savage beast and that impostor is some kind of angel of justice! Is that guy really worthy of your protection?""He is!" Chase nodded gravely. "I believe that everyone else who works in Carmine Pawnshop would make the same choice.""Then… is there going to be a mutiny? What will happen to my brother? He built Carmine Pawnshop from the ground with his own hands! Is he going to be replaced?""Don't worry, Ms. Everheart. Boss won't be replaced. I'm sure that Carmine Pawnshop will soon resume its operations in the same way that it once did. It's just that we'll all miss the security and stability that we enjoyed these

Renee slapped Chase violently across his face, her patience worn thin to the bone."Spit it out, will you?!" she demanded. "Just tell me your idea and stop sputtering like that! It's like you're teasing me!"Chase smiled awkwardly and replied, "The impostor, Mr. Q is indeed a cautious man, and he would only contact me through text messages. There's also no way to ascertain his address or whereabouts through his phone number, so unless he's willing to voluntarily show up, we have no way of finding him. So far, the only person who can make him turn up willingly is you, Ms. Everheart.""I'm afraid I'm not that powerful…" said Renee dejectedly. "Ever since he stood me up, I couldn't contact him at all. If he really cared about me, he would've been a little more to say goodbye before he left.""I believe the impostor, Mr. Q, must have a good reason for it…""So? Get to the point. What should I do to get him to show up?""It's really simple." Chase curled his finger in a beckoning gest

Renee asked Chase the question in confusion."You're right, someone's getting punished, and it's you!"Chase smiled and pulled out a key to open the door to the water prison before bowing slightly and making an inviting gesture towards Renee."Go ahead, Ms. Everheart!""???" Renee gulped, her hair standing on end.The water prison wasn't even large. It was about the size of a small bedroom with a height of about six and a half feet, more than deep enough to completely submerge a human being. The walls were smooth and polished, but they were dotted with numerous holes of different sizes. These were possibly the cavities from where the snakes, centipedes, boiling oil, acid, and whatever else were let out into the water prison. Because no one had been in there for a long time, the water prison gave off a nasty rotten stench, like the smell of dead rats or even human corpses. She could not bear to be inside the water prison for long, because as soon as she took a breath, she would

Chase's guess was right on the money—Stefan did indeed plan to completely distance himself from Carmine Pawnshop, so he would never turn up anyway under the guise of "Mr. Q" ever again. He even intended to discard the SIM card with the hidden IP address. But as soon as he saw the video of Renee being tortured in the water prison sent by Chase, he instantly lost his mind, retaining not the slightest trace of reason.At the moment, he was accompanying Seraphina as they attended a very important family banquet of the Murphy family, where they discussed the cooperation between the Hunt family and the Murphy family for the next season.Seraphina's father, Ethan Murphy, was fully satisfied with the agreement he had reached with Stefan, and all throughout the evening, he had been dropping hints every now and again that they should start planning for the wedding between Stefan and Seraphina."You must be aware of how I've treated you all these years, Stefan. You and my darling Sera have bee

Although Chase knew that the man in front of him was an impostor, he still instinctively became respectful and deferential when facing him, not least due to the naturally powerful aura that he exuded."In that case," said Stefan, "tell him to keep his word!"Without hesitating for another second, he then pushed the door open and tried to head inside."Wait!" Chase stopped Stefan just as he was opening the door, frowning. "Think carefully before you barge in! This is the water prison. Once you go in there, you might never come out alive again, or worse, you might suffer a fate far worse than death!""As long as she's safe, I don't care."Stefan took a deep breath and still pushed the door open without any hesitation.Inside, the water level had already reached Renee's waist, and in less than five minutes, when it would reach her shoulders, at least 500 snakes, bugs, and rats would be released automatically through the holes. There would soon be plenty of venomous snakes in there,

Standing at a high spot, Quinton looked down at Renee, who was still in the water prison and told her, "Hurry up and get out, sister. The water level is increasing, and soon, what's going to come out of these holes won't be water, but venomous creatures of all manner like snakes and bugs.""No!" Renee raised her head and looked at her brother in panic. "Brother, you gave me your word! You told me you'd give me the full authority to deal with the impostor, didn't you? So what are you doing now?""I wanted to let you handle it yourself, but as soon as I learned the impostor's true identity, I knew I just had to break my promise to you. Please forgive me, Renee."Beneath his mask, Quinton's eyes became dangerously ruthless, as if he could hardly restrain himself from tearing the impostor into pieces right then and there."This is my own personal vengeance. I have endured crushing humiliation for so many years just so I can avenge myself one day, so I can't just let him go.""Personal

"Ms. Everheart."Chase chased after Renee, who looked rather emaciated and lonely from the back."What is it?""Are you really going to leave now?""Why should I stay here?""You should hurry up and stop Boss! He's not joking, you know. No one else in Carmine Pawnshop—no, no one else in Beach City can stop him except you! If you leave now, then Mr. Q… no, then that devil Mr. Hunt will surely die!""Since you called him the devil yourself, then isn't it right that he should die anyway?""You can say that," Chase warned her with feeling, "but if he really dies, then he'll really be gone forever. Won't you be upset? Or rather… aren't you afraid of the consequences?"Stefan Hunt had always been Carmine Pawnshop's deadliest enemy. Back then, when the two parties were at war with each other, Chase was one of the main forces fighting against him, and he even had his leg injured by the Hunt family, an injury from which he still suffered long-term effects even now. Naturally, Chase also
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 950
Immediately following that was the sound of Quinton's roaring laughter."Hahahaha, look at you now, Stefan Hunt! I can't believe something like this would ever happen to you. Do you remember how I begged you to let me live all those years ago, and you refused me? Now you get the retribution that you deserve!""Don't stop!" He ordered his men. "Keep it going! Keep releasing more things into the water! I want this snob to taste what it's like to suffer a fate worse than death!"Just then, Stefan's agonizing cry of pain once again rang out.Chase was in such a panic that he stomped his feet and rushed towards Renee, who still stood coldly and frigidly there, "Ms. Everheart, he really can't hold on for much longer! I hope, and I wish, that you won't regret this!""Ugh! So annoying! How can you be such an annoying gnat?!"After yelling at Chase, she then turned around and returned to the water prison.As expected, the water had reached Stefan's neck, and snakes and insects could be s

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
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
