The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 233
Renee once told Liam that Stefan wasn't good at drinking, and that he was like an elementary school kid when it came to
drinking games. That was why Liam had prepared a bottle of the strongest vodka he could find. He wanted to play a drinking
game with Stefan until he became drunk. Liam would then humiliate Stefan and avenge Renee.
Liam felt that Stefan was a proud person. With some encouragement, he would certainly accept the challenge.
However, to Liam's surprise, his plan didn't work.
Stefan didn’t plan on accepting the challenge at all. He stood up and turned to face Christopher and Xavier. "Something came
up. I'll catch you later."
After that, he turned to Shirley. "Come with me."
’Huh. I... Can I?" Shirley's eyes were wide in disbelief. She was an ordinary college student, and it was her first time working in a
bar as a part-timer. Everything that had happened tonight felt like a dream to her.
Stefan didn't answer her, and just walked towards the bar's exit.
’W-Wait for me!" Shirley grabbed her purse and mustered the courage to follow him. From her perspective, Stefan was more
than a knight in shining armor. Even if there was a sliver of hope, she'd grab onto it tightly and not let go.
The two of them walked out one after the other, and everyone else was in shock.
Even Xavier, who had been unconditionally supporting Stefan, couldn't resist complaining. "Damn. He didn't drink much today, so
what the hell is he thinking? Does he really have feelings for that girl? That girl really does look like his ex-wife. He's leaving the
real thing behind and going for the fake version... What's wrong with him?"
Christopher glanced in the direction where Stefan and Shirley had gone, then looked at Renee. A playful smile appeared on his
face. "Stefan is serious this time."
'Serious? About that girl?" Xavier shook his head. "I don't think so!"
Christopher chuckled. "I didn't say he's serious about that girl."

’This is so lame. Today's supposed to be your bachelor party, so why did Stefan leave on his own? Even if he does have feelings
for that girl, can't he just resist them for a while?" Xavier asked.
A man and a woman meet at a bar, and they then leave together. Even a fool knows what's going to happen next.
Liam hurled his glass onto the floor and snarled, "Stefan is a heartless scumbag! He's playing with someone's feelings. He'll get
his karma soon enough!"
Liam returned to Renee's side with his head hung low. "Sorry, Boss... I didn't avenge you. I wasn't expecting him to be such a
jerk!"
Renee didn't react to his words. In fact, she smiled as she shuffled the tarot cards she was holding. It seemed like she didn't care
about what happened earlier at all.
Boss, don't be sad. You're divorced already. He can find someone new, and so can you. If he's going for someone younger, you
can go for someone younger too!"
Renee didn't say anything, and slowly placed the shuffled cards on the table. She then randomly picked one and smiled. "The
sun card... It represents freedom and success. My luck is about to change, so there's nothing to be sad about."
Liam and Leia looked at each other. They felt sorry for Renee. When a girl started believing in superstitions and mystic arts, that
meant she had been hurt badly and was hoping to heal. Although Renee appeared to be very carefree lately, she was probably
struggling on the inside...
"I'm tired. Let's go home!" Renee said suddenly and stood up.
When she walked past Christopher's table, he called out to her. "Ms.
Everheart, do you have a minute?"
Renee stopped walking and turned to look at him.
Christopher smiled apologetically. "Stefan is the emotional equivalent of a rock when it comes to relationships. He doesn't know
how to express how he truly feels, so please don't mind his childish behavior."
Renee shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We have nothing to do with each other now, so he can do whatever he wants. I don't care."

Christopher shook his head and didn't say anything.
After that, he retrieved an invite from his bag. "Cecilia and I are getting married tomorrow. I wanted to ask Stefan to pass this to
you, but it seems like a better idea for me to personally hand it to you. I hope you'll come tomorrow."
Renee was a little surprised. She and Christopher had only met on two or three occasions, so she wasn't expecting an invitation
to such a private event.
However, after thinking about it, the Jacobs family was very powerful in the realm of politics. Being on good terms with them
would be very helpful for the Everheart family's future developments.
Renee accepted the invite with a grin. "Thank you for inviting me. I'll make sure to show up in style."
After Renee left, Christopher grabbed hold of Julian. "Kid, you've got some explaining to do. Why are you so close to your aunt-
in-law?"
"Didn't you hear? They're already divorced. She’s not my aunt-in-law anymore," Julian answered casually.
' Don't mess around. Your uncle is serious this time," Christopher said sternly.
"Really? I couldn't tell." Julian's arrogant demeanor was very much like Stefan's. "I already gave him a chance. He didn't
appreciate it, and he even made things worse. He can't blame me for giving it a shot now."
Over the years, Julian had met all kinds of people through his carefree way of living, but he hadn't met someone as interesting as
Renee for a very long time...
Julian wasn't sure if his feelings for Renee were romantic, but he certainly was interested in her.
