The Untouchable Ex-Wife

The moment Renee returned to her apartment in West Langsmith, she immediately pulled out her laptop. With just a few clicks, she disabled the virus planted in the H Group system, allowing it to return to normal.

The negative remarks on the internet soon came to a half, and H Group’s stock price slowly regained stability.

“Boss, what are you doing? We’re just getting started, why did you disable the virus all of a sudden?” Liam sounded agitated over the phone. He called as soon as he caught wind that H group was recovering, i

“Didn’t you say you’d focus on your career now? And that you’d be targeting H Group? Don’t tell me you’ve started to feel bad for Stefan. Do you still like him or something?”

For the past few days, the malware in H Group’s system resulted in a massive leak of their client’s information. A few of their partners ended their contracts with H Group out of anger and turned to work with a new company instead.

On the surface, this company was run by Liam, but it was in fact Renee’s. It was already starting to take shape within the industry as well.

No doubt, his one and only goddess had decided to show mercy to the bastard Stefan.

‘Why else would she stop the operation when she could gain more?’ he thought. 2

Renee swirled her coffee mug, stared out the window, and replied dismissively, “I’ve already got what I wanted, there’s just no reason to continue to attack.”

“Just say you feel bad! You don’t have to act tough!” Liam sighed pitifully.” It’s only normal that you haven’t moved on from a man you’ve loved for four years.” i

Renee fell silent. She was indeed not a stone-hearted person. The fact that Stefan got hurt while protecting her earlier made her feel bad. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘You can feel bad, but don’t forget the pain he inflicted on you. Remember this, okay? Men suck! The better you treat him, the worse he’d hurt you in return.” i

‘You may have let him off easy today, but… he might not do the same for you.” 1

Liam sounded quite rational, pausing for a brief moment before saying, “I heard that man has placed a $150 million bounty on your head. Countless professionals are out for you. Even ‘Haze’, who has retired for years announced his participation in the witchhunt!” 2

“What do you think Stefan Hunt would do to you when he finds out you’re ‘ Phoenix’? You know how he holds even the smallest grudges!” 1

“Oh really now? Haze is interested in joining the search too?” Renee asked calmly.

She took a sip of her coffee and raised an eyebrow. “Let’s see how this goes then!” 1

After her call with Liam ended, Renee caressed her stomach, whispering.” Don’t worry, my darlings. I swear I’ll get enough money to raise the two of you before you even arrive in this world!”

Renee had been waiting for Stefan to mail the divorce papers back to her. The sooner he signed those papers, the sooner she’d gain ownership of Hunts & Co. Law Firm.

Some of her plans could only be set in motion after she had achieved that. However, it’s been half a week, and she had yet to receive anything in the mailbox.

Since they were both in the same city, it should take less than a day for any mail to arrive. It became clear that Stefan didn’t care about the divorce papers. For all she knew, he could’ve even thrown it into the trash.

Time didn’t wait for anyone, and Renee could tell that her baby bump was growing day by day. She simply didn’t want to just sit there and do nothing.

With that, she called for a cab and headed straight for the H Group headquarters.

“Welcome, Mrs. Hunt!” The employees had no idea that the two were divorcing, and proceeded to greet her warmly as usual.

“Good morning,” Renee replied with an awkward smile.

Back when she was head-over-heels for Stefan, she would occasionally bring him lunch or a cup of homemade coffee. That explained why the staff recognized her immediately.

However, she had always done this in secret. In order to keep the other employees from gossiping about their relationship, she would bring along extras for them as well, so everyone was rather fond of her. 1

Within minutes, Renee reached Stefan’s office without much hindrance.

“Mrs. Hunt, w-why did you come all of a sudden?” asked the secretary nervously.

From her memory, Renee would always leave her gifts at the reception counter, and she refused to visit his office for some unknown reason.

‘Why is she here now? Did something happen?’ the secretary wondered.

“I’m just here to see Stefan Hunt, is he inside?” Renee glanced at the office door.

This made the secretary even more uncomfortable, which resulted in her stuttering awkwardly. “He is… but… uhm… It might not be… a good time to visit.”
