All Chapters of Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Chapter 681 - Chapter 690

Jasper had just finished his work for the day and was standing before the glass wall.His expression was melancholic as he looked out at Jormund's skyline, holding his coffee.It was Renee's birthday once again… two years, eight months, and seventeen days after she had gone missing.Knock, knock.Hearing the door open soon enough, Jasper thought that it was Luke and said, "Order a cake for me…"There was only silence, however, and he finally turned to see that it was Alison and Nora.Seeing their faces, Jasper pulled himself out of his thoughts and asked, "What brings you ladies here?"As Renee had been Alison's best friend, she had been taking it really hard, sulking for a whole month after Renee went missing.She blamed Jasper for failing to protect Renee and her child, which in turn led to a rift between them.They didn't talk for a year until Alison finally came around.After all, Jasper had suffered way more than she did and was either working or searching for Renee, nev

Caspian definitely wasn't feeling merry as he leaned against the table and sighed, shaking his head. "Sylas blamed himself so much he can't bear to face you—that's why he left Hyperia. It's been six months since the last time we saw him."The room was suddenly gloomy, as Jasper looked up at his best friends, feeling a mess of different emotions.Since Renee went missing, his people were watching Tom and Don Kalon for the longest time, until he told them to pull out since they didn't notice anything strange.But Jasper refused to give up until he saw a body.After a while, he said, "It's Sylas' birthday soon, right? I'll join the celebration when I return from Ambrossia.""Now that's better." Caspian smiled and nodded. "Can't let the gang fall apart."-Meanwhile, at Raison Castle in Ambrossia, three cars were slowly pulling into the courtyard, the first and last cars full of bodyguards with a royal bulletproof limousine in the middle.Once the cars stopped, a man in black weari

To no surprise, Renee was Avid's daughter.While shocked by the revelation, Tom soon hatched his own conspiracy, pulling connections from everywhere to snatch Renee.He used the latest technology to brainwash Renee, completely wiping away her old memories while planting new ones.After that, he arranged for her to stay in a secure, isolated island, where she was trained alongside his personal death squad.Aware that Jasper was still looking for Renee and keeping an eye on him, Tom waited for at least eighteen months, until Jasper finally withdrew his men.It was only then that he returned to Renee, taking her straight to Ambrossia and meeting Avid.He also took extra precautions by feeding Renee an undetectable poison that left her in agony, subjecting her to his complete control.-Back at the present, Renee shook her head and bit her lip. "No, I don't intend to offend you… I just don't deserve you, sir."Tom smiled tenderly as he caressed her cheek and leaned in to whisper i

There were just too many questions—if Tom wouldn't give her any answers, then Renee just had to find them herself."You will be living with him after we marry, but not now." Tom refused nonetheless, clapping her cheek. "The eighteenth of October is a fine date—I'll discuss the details with the king. He'll agree to it anyway, since he loves you dearly."That was another four weeks."Understood."With that, Renee shook off Tom's hand and left the room first, her eyes flashing coldly as she wiped every spot Tom touched.She hurried downstairs, with Tom soon following her to the drawing room.With just a look from him, his oil baron friends left tactfully, and it was only after that when he spoke to Avid. "Your Majesty, I would like to discuss my wedding with Joan."Holding Renee's hand with a tender smile, he said, "I fell for her at first sight and have always wanted to marry her, but I waited since I was sure it wasn't the right time when she had just returned to your side. But n

Renee was watching Steve and noticed that brief panic on his face.It was the look of recognition—he knew who the person she sketched was.And that meant Steve was lying.A ton of questions flooded Renee's mind just then, but she could only imagine a large hand over her, controlling her with strings like a marionette.It felt like she was kept in a lightless room, and she wanted to break through to see the world outside but didn't know how.As Renee stayed silent, Steve asked, "How did you meet this person?""Never met him." Renee shook her head. "It just flashes in my mind…"Suddenly, she sighed loudly and glowered resentfully as she huffed, "Tom told me that I had a terrible experience which left me traumatized… I think that person could have been my enemy!"Taking Renee's bait right then, Steve's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. "Oh! He could be!"Renee promptly asked, "Why are you so sure?"Steve paused again and avoided Renee's gaze as he explained, "Tom told me, an
