Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 141 - Bab 150

When Annie heard they would have to share a room, she leaned shyly toward Carl."Ms. Johnson, this is rather embarrassing," she murmured.Ms. Johnson raised an eyebrow and smiled. "If Miss Simmons feels uncomfortable, I can arrange a separate room for you." She lifted her hand, about to call for the butler.Annie’s smile froze, and she quickly replied, "Ms. Johnson, you have such a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you."Ms. Johnson gave her a knowing look, wondering why she bothered with this act of innocence.Overhearing the possibility of changing rooms, Renee briefly considered finding an excuse to switch, but before she could speak, her thoughts were interrupted by Ms. Johnson receiving a phone call. With no other option, Renee headed to her assigned room.Just as she turned, Wendy suddenly grabbed her arm from behind."Renee, are you scared to be alone? Do you want me to keep you company?"Renee’s arm trembled, her jaw clenched, but she quickly composed herself. Keep her co

"Waaah... I'm so scared. I'm terrified of the dark. I can't see... Ah!"It sounded like Wendy had tripped, her footsteps clearly becoming unsteady.From the sounds, Renee could tell Wendy was stumbling in her direction.And right in front of her was Carl.Wendy really knew how to take advantage of a situation.There was a sound of bodies colliding. Wendy had succeeded in her plan.Renee was about to smirk when suddenly a dark figure blocked her path.She froze, unable to react as a familiar presence pressed against her.Caught off guard, Renee found herself being kissed, forgetting even to escape.The man's scent was like cold winter air in sunlight, carrying a biting warmth after mild sunshine.His kiss wasn't forceful; it was far gentler than his previous domineering ones. It felt more like he was trying to silence her, his breathing uneven yet restrained.Renee was brought back to reality by the groans of those who had fallen to the floor.Then, from the other end of the

Take the initiative.Renee's mind was in turmoil, but her body instinctively stiffened. She lifted her gaze and locked eyes with him. In the dim light, his eyes felt like a bottomless abyss.Carl, propping his chin in his hand, watched her with faint amusement, a barely-there smile tugging at his lips. The sight reminded Renee of painful memories, causing her to turn away in humiliation.Biting down hard on her lower lip, the taste of blood filled her mouth, but it wasn’t enough to quell the burning torment inside. Desperate for control, she bit even harder.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her jaw as her lips parted, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth.Carl’s eyes narrowed, a flash of anger darkening his gaze.He was angry.“You hate this so much? Then why did you mess with me in the first place?”Renee remained silent, refusing to meet his gaze.Abruptly, the grip on her chin tightened.She winced in pain and lifted her eyes to meet his. Her lashes were damp wi

As she mentioned searching the rooms, Ms. Johnson deliberately looked at Annie."Miss Simmons, you don't have any objections, do you?"Hearing this, Annie's expression flickered with unease."Ms. Johnson, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I think we should let it go. Otherwise, we'd be wasting your and Carl's time."Ms. Johnson chuckled behind her hand. "Miss Simmons is so considerate. How could this be a waste of time? What are you all standing around for? Go search Miss Simmons's room.""Yes, ma'am."As the butler was about to leave with his staff, Annie quickly stepped in front of them, blocking their way."Ms. Johnson, it's Carl's and my bedroom. Isn't this inappropriate?" she reminded."Miss Simmons, now you're applying double standards. Miss Lacey, a single woman, was sleeping when you barged in with all these men, and she didn't say a word. What are you afraid of? You're not hiding something, are you?" Ms. Johnson insinuated."No! No!"Annie shook her hea

Michael called for the butler to clean up the trash bin."Throw this garbage far away. It's affecting my mood.""Yes, sir."In front of Carl, the butler tore up the papers, crumpled them into balls, and stuffed them into a black garbage bag before leaving the study.Michael blew on his tea and advised sternly, "This collaboration is crucial. Don't let anything go wrong. Annie is your fiancée, and her image reflects on you. Don't give others any ammunition against you.""Understood. I'll take my leave now," Carl said, standing up to leave....In the courtyard, Renee had slept all afternoon after returning home. After dinner in the evening, she started working on her design draft.Just then, Susanne entered with a fruit platter.She held up a fruit fork to Renee's lips, showing off the large ruby ring on her finger.Renee took a bite of the fruit. "Did Uncle give you this?"Susanne covered her mouth, boasting proudly, "The Simmons family sent it as an apology. Yvette bought i
