Semua Bab Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Bab 541 - Bab 550

The women cursed, snarled savagely, and bared their teeth as if they could eat Renee alive.The violent scuffle should have quickly caught someone's attention, but no one came even after five minutes.At that point, Renee was leaning against the steel bars, staring warily at the other woman and gasping from air in exhaustion.Even with the spiked ring that helped a little, she couldn't win a battle of attrition because her stamina couldn't keep up.Now, every second felt like a year.While the women's faces and bodies were hurt in varying degrees, they still weren't losing.On the other hand, Renee's face was bruised, and she felt blood when she wiped her lips."Who sent you?" she demanded, gasping.She would like the truth, but was also really exhausted and was trying to buy time.She couldn't afford to collapse here, and she might die.And she refused to die, with her mother still in Evergreen Care Center and Martin's schemes a complete mystery!"I don't know what you're t

Yvie was sitting with Martin, hearing the cries of distress in the private jet thanks to the listening devices planted in the private jet.Yvie's guilt was eating at her as she listened to Jasper curse in distress.Bang!The explosion they had expected soon erupted, followed by the crack of static feedback.And then there was silence.Yvie took off her headset and reclined against her seat, feeling a mess of different emotions.On the other hand, Martin was laughing out loud in delight. "Hahaha! Good, good! The plan can move forward with Jasper out of the way!"Then, noticing the mournful look on Yvie's face, he clapped her on the shoulder and said, "I know you have feelings for him, having worked for him for so long, but compassion always impedes greatness."Yvie forced a smile. "Yeah, I know."Even then, she had known the people in that plane, and they were acquainted on a personal level even if they weren't friends.How could her conscience live with killing them with her

The next day, news of Jasper's demise reached the Zellers.It started when Yvie received a call from Quincy Lang, asking, "How is Jasper now?""Hasn't he reached Hyperia?" Yvie asked in return. "Did he not contact you?""He's back?""He should be, since his flight left yesterday morning. Just hold on, I'll call him."Hanging up on Quincy, Yvie called Jasper and Luke repeatedly just for show.After trying and failing, she called the Zellers.Bemused, Will Zeller and Quincy tried calling Jasper, Luke, as well as Jasper's entourage, but no one was picking up.Soon, the news on TV announced that a certain private jet had crashed into the middle of the ocean.Shocked, Will and Quincy promptly called Yvie to confirm the timeline, and the crash area matched the trajectory and timing of Jasper's flight!While Quincy passed out in shock, Alison received word about it and returned home right away.Her parents naturally weren't in the mood to punish her at that point, with Quincy huggi

As Renee calmed down, she told Alison, "Go talk to your mother—don't let things run wild any further. Your family has worked in business for so long that you'll definitely have a long list of enemies, and with Jasper gone, they'll smell weakness and start coming after you. You don't have time to mourn right now, do you understand?"Her words jerked Alison to her senses, and she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she wiped the tears off her face. "Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'm not going down just yet."With the Xaviers, Ben, and the countless foes her family had made in business competition all waiting to pounce on a moment of weakness, she couldn't afford to be careless."I trust you, babe. Do your best!" Renee cheered her on despite her own heartache.After all, Renee understood that if she fell flat too, Alison would have no one to encourage her and would fall apart.Renee wanted to help, not only because she was Jasper's sister but because they were basically twins, and

After that, Renee got into her car and headed to the hospital with Candy.Since she had only sustained flesh wounds, she got some medicine for it before heading home, freshening up and changing before stepping out into her bedroom.Candy was in the living room, fidgeting restlessly because of Nathan's threats and the bun in her oven.She thought getting pregnant with Nathan's child would get her leverage over Nathan, but he didn't care about their child at all, instead obsessing over putting a camera in Renee's bedroom.And Candy had no choice but to comply, or Nathan would hurt her again.Even as she was left terrified, Renee stepped out of the bedroom and found her spacing out."What's on your mind?" she asked in concern."Huh? N-Nothing." Candy came to her senses and shook her head, getting up and fetching Renee a glass of warm water. "Have a drink—it must have been difficult staying in the lock-up. You should sleep."Renee took the glass and took a sip before answering, "
