Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Michael remained silent, his stern gaze fixed on Carl, waiting for his response.Renee looked down at her bleeding palms, feeling no pain.She was already too humiliated, too hurt.But the killing blow was yet to come.Carl's eyes, deep as an abyss, swept over Renee, his face showing nothing but endless frost and ice."It's none of my concern."Her wounded palm rubbed against her coat repeatedly, grinding debris deeper into her flesh, but Renee was numb to it all.Travis smoothly pulled the rigid Renee closer, smiling: "Thank you for your blessing, Uncle."To outsiders, it might have seemed like genuine affection.But only Renee knew he was just trying to win against someone.Unfortunately, he was completely wrong.Carl didn't care about her at all.Michael's gaze shifted between Renee and Travis, showing less anger than when he'd thought she was involved with Carl.He only reprimanded: "Impossible! The Greys don't accept people of loose morals."Loose morals?Renee dug

The wounds looked raw and bloody.When Renee tried to pull away, Carl forced her closer, his strong arm wrapping around her back, trapping her against him.“Don’t move. Do you want to lose your hand?” His low, steady voice brushed hotly against her ear, making it clear that she had no choice but to comply.At the mention of her hand, Renee stopped resisting. Ever since she’d left the mansion, the wound on her hand had been throbbing with pain, so much so that she hadn’t even registered what Susanne had said to her earlier.Carl took out saline solution from the first aid kit: "This will hurt."Before Renee could process his words, he began cleaning the wounds. The pain made her scalp tingle, her fingers trembling.It felt like something burrowing into her flesh.When she tried to pull away, unable to bear it, his grip only tightened.Then she felt an odd sensation around the wound.Looking down, she saw Carl gently stroking the skin around the area while cleaning it, trying to

"There's no one else, okay?!"Renee glared at Carl, breathing heavily.Even angry, she looked alluring.Her eyes were misty, the corners red, fighting back tears with trembling lashes - even her tearful gaze was intoxicating.Her wet shirt clung to her skin, half-revealing, testing any man's self-control.Carl's eyes darkened further, his fist clenching until his knuckles turned white.Finally, he closed his eyes and threw her a dry towel."Cover yourself."Renee hesitated, once again unable to read him.But there was no time to think - she just wanted to wrap herself up quickly.As she grabbed the towel, a sharp snap broke the silence.Her bra strap, worn for over a year, had broken during the struggle.Right in front of Carl.Whoosh!She pulled the towel over herself - and her head."Ahem..."Carl cleared his throat hoarsely, his clenched fist aching.Yet he could still feel her warmth on his fingertips.He shouldn't have held back earlier!...The car stopped out

Annie looked up, her eyes full of concern and hope.Carl stayed silent, unwilling to answer the same question twice.He turned to leave.Annie watched his retreating figure, her palms sweaty as she rushed after him, grabbing his arm.“Carl, did Renee say something about me?"Carl's gaze remained cold: "What could she have said?"Under his stare, Annie felt nothing - no emotion, as if she were insignificant.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't read him.Realizing her mistake, she quickly smiled."Nothing. I just worried about the misunderstandings at the studio. You know how young girls can hold grudges.""Is that so?"Though Carl's response was brief, to Annie it felt like he'd taken Renee's side.She didn't dare show her concern, just smiled sweetly, wringing her hands."I'm overthinking. I'll clear things up with her next time.""Mm."Carl got in his car and left without looking back.Annie watched his car disappear, her face full of resentment.Nearby, the Si

Suddenly, Annie grabbed Renee's scarf, violently pulling her forward.The movement exposed the bite marks on Renee's neck.Annie's eyes flashed with malice as she tightened her grip."Still wearing it? So eager to show everyone how shameless you are? Give it to me!""..."As pain shot through her neck, Renee immediately grabbed Annie's wrist.Being a pampered heiress, Annie was no match for Renee's strength.Renee stared at her coldly: "What's wrong? Hasn't the mighty Mr. Grey even given his future Mrs. Grey a scarf? Don't worry, you can ask for more for your wedding gift.”She forcefully pushed Annie's hand away.Annie glared venomously at Renee, then suddenly smiled coldly and fell toward the planter."Ah!"Annie screamed, clutching her head as blood trickled down her temple.Everyone rushed out of the meeting room at the noise."Miss Simmons, what happened?"Colleagues quickly helped Annie up.Annie's face was pale, her teary eyes full of hurt, yet she spoke graciousl
