Semua Bab Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Bab 101 - Bab 110

The receptionist kept her businesslike smile as she said, "I'm sorry, but I'm just doing what Mr. Zeller asked."She then turned to Renee and nodded, leading her and Freya into the private elevator.Julian raised an eyebrow as he watched them leave, and he leaned toward Adam as he said under his breath, "See? She doesn't give a shit about you at all. It's high time you recognize reality, get a divorce, and marry my sister. Otherwise, our families' alliance will start to waver, and you're going to have a lot of explaining to do with your geezer."Moreover, there wasn't a single Graham aside from Adam who appreciated Renee. As such, when Adam became so obsessed with Renee that he left them just to marry Renee, his grandfather loathed Renee and the rest of the family held a grudge ever since.It was no secret that since then, Adam's grandfather considered Renee a harlot who wrought disaster upon their family, bewitching Adam and kept him from coming to his senses."I won't marry Kayl

"Five hundred million?"Renee's brow was slightly furrowed, her expression darkening. After a moment's deliberation, she looked at Jasper, her gaze increasingly determined. "I don't want money. All I want is for Kayla to be punished for her actions!"Jasper leaned his head to the side as his jet-black gaze held hers. "Well, attempted murder only carries a jail sentence of three to ten years, and knowing how much the Spencers love Kayla, they'll definitely hire the best lawyers in the country to trim as many years off the sentence as they can."On top of that, she's pregnant, and that's another two years off for nursing after giving birth. If she gets pregnant again, or if the court decided that she has been on her best behavior, there might as well be no jail sentence."As he finished, he waited silently for her decision.And this time, Renee said nothing as the glow in her eyes faded, replaced by a look of frustration.Jasper's words, though heartbreaking, were nothing but the

"Wait, darling!" Adam exclaimed.As he started chasing down Renee again, she saw Julian coming toward her, and she clearly noticed the smugness in his eyes—and a craving, like a hungry wolf salivating at the sight of food.Adam caught up to her just then, stepping in front of her as he said, "Please just listen to me…""Mr. Graham," Renee said, cutting him short while gesturing at Julian with her chin. "Did he tell you that he had videos of your affair with Kayla since day one?"And do you know why he didn't intervene when you, a married man, put the moves on his sister? It's simple, really—he wants me, as he has for the past six years. That's why he allowed you to hook up with Kayla, so he could strong arm you into a divorce, while he's free to pursue me."Renee wouldn't have mentioned any of that at all, but the Spencers were simply despicable—they were all a bunch of rotten apples, be it Julian or Kayla!And as Renee finished, Julian's expression turned stiff and pale, but he

Even so, Kayla was already planning to first marry Adam, and then settle the score with Renee.She would kill Renee, one way or the other!-Meanwhile, Renee was in her office at Genome Tech's headquarters, leisurely drinking from her cup as she gave Alison the short version of what happened.The other woman was as thrilled as she was worried. "Really? My bro—I mean, Jasper Zeller—agreed to drop by?""Yes," Renee replied with a nod.She too used to be so excited when Jasper was mentioned. But now that she knew his true nature, her enthusiasm naturally waned."You look off, babe," Alison suddenly pointed out in concern. "Did Jasper give you a hard time?""No, no." Renee shook her head. "Everyone in Genome has worked very hard to secure this tender. There's just a lot of work to do to get prepared. ""Yes, well… Good work!" Alison grinned as she hugged Renee. "Honestly, the whole company will fall apart sooner without you."Renee raised a finger, poking Alison's forehead as she

As such, when Renee woke up early in the morning and washed up, she was noticeably weary, and there were dark circles under her eyes.She sighed in exasperation and put on some makeup, trying to look her best.After a quick breakfast, she grabbed her bag and started heading out.As luck would have it, she found Jasper stepping out of the opposite door when she opened hers.Their eyes met, and she forced a smile as she greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Zeller."Perhaps her smile was too forced, as Jasper raised a brow. "Don't force a smile if you don't want to. It's hideous."Renee's smile faded instantly as she scowled. "Right."With that, she closed the door and headed straight for the elevator, pressed the button, and waited quietly.Jasper arrived by her side, and the two of them stood there, watching the indicator as the elevator slowly ascended from the first floor. Platinum Heights was a prime residential complex in Harborview City, where every inch of land was worth its
