The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 399
Renee nodded and said, "I won't be going in today."
Leia was incredulous. She gripped Renee and said, "You're gonna leave just like that? This house has a special meaning to you.
It's gonna be turned into a garbage treatment plant! Don't you find it insulting? How can you stand it?”
Renee took a deep breath and answered with a serious expression, "Of course I can't stand it, but there's no point arguing with a
security guard. He’s just doing his job.”
'Then what are you gonna do?”
"Find the mastermind behind the scenes who's targeting this piece of land and make him give up."
'The mastermind behind the scenes?"
Leia was puzzled. ’Didn't the security guard say it's an order from the Municipal Planning Department? Then it's a government
project. What mastermind behind the scenes are you talking about?"
"It may look like a government project on the surface, but it's definitely driven by a business organization. So, to solve this
problem, we must deal with the business organization behind the scenes."
Renee gave Leia a meaningful look.
She had a bad feeling about this.
Her instinct told her this mastermind behind the scenes would not be easy to deal with, and they're specifically targeting her!
Renee and Leia returned to the apartment.
Leia then went out on a date with her new boyfriend, so Renee was left alone at home.
She took out her computer and keyed in relevant information about the area where the Everheart Residence was located. She
started a thorough investigation.
The area was included in the Municipal Planning Department's expropriation scope six months ago.

That was because a lot of incidents happened in the area, such as the suicide of Renee's parents, the houses being haunted,
and a fire.
After the Everheart Residence was burned down, the couple who set fire to the house both hanged themselves in front of the
Everheart Residence.
It was the couple whose daughter mysteriously died in the club ran by Xavier, and who lost the court case afterward due to Zack
Rosenwell's help.
Therefore, there were a lot of horror stories about the place. Those living nearby had all moved away, leaving the area
abandoned for many years.
Half a year ago, the municipal government announced the plan to build a large garbage treatment plant in the city. They
gathered public opinion on where it should be built and this area obtained the highest number of votes, so it was expropriated.
On the surface, everything seemed reasonable. If Renee did not agree to the expropriation, she would be going against the
people's will. In the end, not only would she fail to keep the Everheart Residence, she would also receive a lot of criticism.
But in reality, everything was driven by money.
The mastermind behind everything was Rubio Pascal from the Pascal family.
The Pascal family was one of the eight major families of Beach City. The family was very secretive, so outsiders had no idea how
powerful they were exactly.
They had only heard rumors that Rubio Pascal was a pervert. He was a man in his forties. Every month, he would seek out
young women and use them to replenish his youth so that he would stay young and healthy.
Renee did not understand. There were no grudges between her and this Pascal guy. They had not even crossed paths before.
Why would he come up with this elaborate plan to mess with her?
However, no matter who it was and what their purpose was, she would not allow anyone to touch the Everheart Residence!
Renee easily found Rubio Pascal's private phone number and was about to have a good chat with him when her cousin, Mandy,
suddenly called her, sounding very excited.

"Ren, why aren't you here yet? The top donor is already here. Oh my god, he's so handsome that I'm getting a nosebleed. Get
over here!"
