All Chapters of Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

With the information Renee had gathered so far, the Dornans' influence was the one to be feared most, and the Xaviers were just second.It was basically her dream to gather so much dirt on them, but she refused to give up on Alison's blood, sweat, and tears for it.Quinton held up his palm just then. "I will buy your shares for five billion dollars."When Renee first joined Genome Tech, all the company's investments amounted to 1.5 billion at best, but Quinton was offering five billion for half the shares.To anyone else, the rate was no different from a scam, and even Renee had to admit she was interested. Even so, she pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth and stood up. "It's late, and I have things to do tomorrow, so I won't be staying. I'll pick up the check—it's my treat."Quinton watched as she reached for the door and quickly said, "I heard about Jasper. Unless there's a miracle, his leg would be amputated."Those words left Renee freezing, her heart pounding and her palm

Adam leveled a loving gaze at Renee as he said, "I want to atone for my single moment of reckless impulse."The bliss and passion of love seemed to turn into a dull peacefulness after they got married, and Kayla had distorted that harmony when she returned to the country.She had given Adam the excitement that a woman could give, rocking his peaceful, almost monotonous life.He did not love Kayla but enjoyed the delights of adultery and kept testing the limits of his marriage.It was only when he was caught in the act, when Renee demanded a divorce, that he was finally struck with an epiphany of how foolish he had been.Still, Renee sighed in exasperation. "You've really lost your mind, huh?"She hadn't kept tabs on Adam since their divorce, but she learned from others that he showed no interest in women and spent every day either working or visiting Evergreen.In the past, Renee would have been touched by the gesture, but everything was different now."Renee…"Adam breathed,

Noticing the look on Renee's face, Uma asked in concern, "What's wrong? You suddenly look so pale…""N-Nothing… I guess I'm tired from work," Renee replied distractedly.As the conversation moved on to work, Renee asked, "By the way, where are you from? You don't sound like you're from Harborview City based on your accent.""Oh, haha," Uma giggled. "I'm from Willowpoint.""Oh, I see." Renee smiled and nodded, having heard of the place but never being there herself.Just as she frowned in thought, Uma suddenly leaned toward her, studying her face in surprise.Then, pointing at herself and then Renee, she asked, "Don't you think that we really look like each other? I've thought that since we first met."It seemed to be an innocent remark, but Renee felt uneasy about it anyway.Still, since Uma mentioned it, she seized the moment to get a good look of Uma's face. "Oh, now that you mention it, we do…"They didn't just share the same height—their facial structures, eyes, and even n

"Mr. Zeller? Ms. Whitley is here…"Luke was standing outside the room, his eyes widening when he saw what was inside.Wow! The man really was going all out to break up with Renee!As he slid a glance at Renee to see her expression darkening, his heart almost leaped out of his throat.Shit… so it was really over?On the other hand, Jasper could rush at Renee and gather her in his arms when he saw her—it had just been two weeks, but he missed her like crazy.And the feelings just got worse with each passing day…"Hello!" Alice turned and waved at Renee just then.Ascend Group used to have foreign partners, so Renee was fluent in foreign languages.Taking a moment to calm down, she strode in and put her handbag aside, taking the apple from Alice as she said, "Thanks for your help. I'll take over now."She was like a queen, asserting her authority over a concubine."Okay." Alice nodded and shrugged at Jasper. "I'll drop by later."After she left, Luke stepped out as well and cl

Uma shook her head. "No, she just thinks that we happen to share the same appearance. Just give me time—I'll get close to her."As the old man stayed silent, Uma continued, "Genome Tech needs investments. As Wisdom Ventures' representative, I just need her to agree to our partnership, and we'll see each other often in the future.""You need to earn her trust, and soon."The old man breathed a long sigh as he sat behind his desk. "Either way, Jasper would be convinced it was Mr. Dornan who attacked him… when it's really his future father-in-law."Uma paused, and leaned against the glass wall as she said, "He would never forgive Renee if he learns the truth.""That's his problem." Donald closed his eyes, twirling the prayer beads in his hand as he finished, "Just do what you need to do."-Meanwhile, Renee was making soup and cooking some solid food before taking everything upstairs to Jasper."It's boring eating alone. Come eat with me.""No, I just ate," Jasper replied, comple
