Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Renee's face flushed at the supervisor's comment. She turned, trying to explain. "Ma'am, it's not—"Carl cut her off with a long stride up the stairs, leaving her words trailing behind them.Renee glanced at him suspiciously. For a moment, she thought she saw a flicker of amusement in his eyes, but when she looked closer, they were as cold as ever. It must've been her imagination.Once they reached another flight, Renee began to squirm. "Uncle Carl, put me down. I can walk by myself. I've got shoes now, and I live pretty high up."Carl said nothing, continuing up the stairs.Renee pointed toward the top floor. "I live on the sixth floor. It'll be too much for you.""Third floor."Her eyes widened. "How do you know that?""What do you think?" He paused, his gaze darkening as he looked at her."You've been checking up on me!"Carl narrowed his eyes, exasperated. What exactly was going on in her head?Soon, they reached her dorm room. Reluctantly, Renee unlocked the door and we

Carl stepped in front of the dorm manager, blocking his approach. "What's going on here?"The manager immediately adopted a submissive posture. "Mr. Grey, it's like this: we're preparing to renovate this building for the incoming freshmen. Renee here is the only one who hasn't moved out yet. Since it's hard for a young woman to handle it on her own, I brought three security guards to help."He was all smiles, but his gaze kept flickering away from Carl's, especially when he mentioned the three guards. His voice wavered, hinting that he was aware of their true identity.But why was he doing this?Just as Renee was about to question who these men really were, Carl interrupted her. "As the second daughter of the Grey family, she doesn't need anyone's help.""What? Second daughter?" The manager's eyes nearly popped out of his head.He glanced nervously at the three guards, who quickly retreated from the room, looking uneasy.Frowning, Renee started to follow them, but Carl grabbed h

Renee buried her face in a cushion, trying to calm down. Just then, her phone rang. It was Susanne."How did it go today?" Susanne's voice had a playful tone, as if she knew something."Not great," Renee replied, taking a deep breath."Really? Didn't Carl help you?""Mom, your back pain must have cleared up, huh?" Renee said irritably. "I've told you before, stop trying to push us together. It's never going to happen.""It wasn't me! He said—""Mom, please, don't. There's no point," Renee said firmly.Susanne sighed. "Alright. I just thought maybe you two could actually talk things out."As Renee's mother, Susanne could tell that her daughter was holding a grudge against Carl. But still... this was Carl Grey. Even Susanne, as his sister-in-law, had to be careful around him. How could Renee stand a chance against him?Susanne just didn't want Renee and Carl to become enemies over what had happened that night.Renee understood that her mother meant well, but she didn't want

As the others were caught up in conversation, a figure slipped out of the room.Annie caught a glimpse, and her smile deepened.---At the reception desk, Wendy stared at an invitation card. The embossed paper dusted with gold glitter exuded a luxury she could only dream of.A voice sounded from across the counter. "Jealous?"Wendy looked up to see Lucy, who wore a smirk. "You? What are you doing here?"Lucy stepped closer, tapping the invitation card. "A dog can never replace its master.""Stop talking nonsense!" Wendy snapped, visibly irritated."Oh, hit a nerve? Am I wrong? Playing both sides isn't easy, is it?" Lucy's smirk grew.Wendy instinctively stepped back, a wary look in her eyes. "What do you know?""I've seen everything. You've been conspiring with Annie against Renee. How does it feel to be Annie's punching bag?" Lucy's tone was mocking.The color drained from Wendy's face as she glanced around, clearly nervous that someone might overhear. "What do you want?"

The sleeveless black gown hugged Renee’s figure perfectly, accentuating her curves as if it were tailored just for her. Her bare arms, smooth and fair, seemed almost like a beautiful porcelain. Though the dress only exposed her arms, there was something captivating about her presence.Noticing Wendy’s gaze, Renee adjusted the dress in front of her, smiling. “Wendy, this dress feels a bit tight on me.”In her past life, when Renee became an outcast, Wendy had stopped pretending to be her friend, taking every opportunity to kick her while she was down.“Don’t blame me for this. You’ve always outshone me. We were supposed to be friends, but why do you get to marry Mr. Grey and rise to the top?” Wendy had sneered back then. “I’ll let you in on a secret: every scheme against you was Annie and me working together. Now Mr. Grey despises you. You might as well be dead.”Wendy thrived on jealousy, so this time, Renee decided to let her drown in it.Seeing Renee’s deliberate taunt, Wendy cl
