Semua Bab Vengeance Reborn: Making her Scumbag CEO Husband Pay with His Life: Bab 31 - Bab 40

As the sound of the door locking clicked behind her, Renee already knew who was approaching without even turning around. The tea canister in her hand slipped and rolled across the floor.The canister made a full circle before finally stopping in front of a pair of men's leather shoes.Renee hurried to pick it up, but before she could, a pair of hands slid around her waist from behind, cold as a serpent, tightening their grip.She found herself trapped against the tea table, and the heat from above slowly spread down to her ears, causing her breathing to become erratic.His lips brushed against her ear, his voice deep and laced with a hint of amusement. "Do you enjoy being led around like this so much?”The warm breath tickled her ear like a feather, making Renee feel itchy.She wanted to escape, but as soon as she moved, the pressure behind her grew more intimidating, forcing her to stay still.The presence behind her enveloped Renee, and she could even feel the heat of his chest thr

After brewing the tea, Renee carried it into the living room. It was a rare occasion to have so many people gathered together, and even the usually stern face of Michael had softened with a few smiles.Once she had served the tea, Renee quietly stood behind Susanne and Patrick, blending into the background, almost invisible.Just then, Carl walked in, his collar still damp from the spilled tea.Linda noticed and asked, "Carl, you're usually so meticulous. How did you get your clothes dirty?"Carl sat down, picked up his tea cup, and glanced at Renee before replying indifferently, "The cat brushed against me."Linda sipped her tea and chuckled, "That's an interesting cat. Did it manage to hit your lips too?"Carl blew on his tea and casually responded, "Mm. It's quite strong."Upon hearing this, Renee immediately lowered her head, feeling her face grow hotter by the second.After some casual conversation, Mr. Grey mentioned that he was going to take a nap, and the others began t

On the way back, Travis received a call from home informing him that his mom Linda was experiencing a flare-up of her rheumatism. The rainy weather always worsened her condition, causing her sleepless nights.Ever since her husband's passing, Linda had spent nearly every day at the church praying, seeking solace, but the constant kneeling had taken a toll on her knees.Renee pointed to the intersection up ahead. "Travis, you can drop me off there. I'll take the subway back to school. I just need to borrow your jacket for a bit.""Renee..." Travis said, feeling a bit guilty."I'm in my twenties now, I'll be fine. But Linda must be in pain right now. You should go back and be with her.""Alright."Travis pulled the car over and adjusted the jacket on her shoulders, reminding her to be careful. Renee nodded and got out of the car.After watching the car drive away, she took the subway back to school. However, the subway station was still a distance from the school, so she had to wa

Renee froze, her face flushing involuntarily. She didn't realize that the narrow crack in the door perfectly reflected her image in the mirror. Her long hair draped over her bare back, partially covering her chest, which she was trying to shield with her arms. With each slight movement, it seemed as if she might be exposed at any moment.Carl clenched the ring on his thumb, struggling to suppress the surge of desires within him.Unable to argue further, Renee shut the door with force. Staring at the men's shirt and pants in her hands, she had no choice but to put them on.When she finally emerged from the bathroom, Carl was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea. The fragrance of the tea filled the room, creating a sense of calm.Renee walked over, and as Carl glanced at her, he accidentally spilled half of his tea, perhaps because it was too hot. Yet, he remained composed, merely saying, "Have some tea."He put down his cup and went to take a shower, not saying much else.Renee picked

Renee broke into a cold sweat, gasping out, "My... my hand..."Carl paused suddenly, taking a few deep breaths as the veins in his neck pulsed. He lifted himself slightly and gently took her hand.But before he could do anything else, Renee swiftly rolled over and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.A manipulative move.Carl paused for a moment, but instead of getting angry, he simply lay down beside the "cocoon" she had made of herself, wrapping both her and the blanket tightly in his arms. He propped his head on one hand and leaned close to her ear, his voice hoarse and teasing, "How long do you think you can keep this up?"Renee wanted to retort, but her body betrayed her—she had used the last of her strength in that brief escape. Now, as Carl's voice seemed to drift farther and farther away, she slipped into unconsciousness, sinking into darkness.Later that night, Renee's fever spiked again, leaving her in a dazed, feverish state. If Carl had intended to do anything, she
