The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

This time, Francine was not faking it. The cane struck Stefan with a loud crack.
“Ouch!”
Stefan could not remain stoic anymore. He complained, “You’re doing it for real?! Stop!”
“Of course I’m doing it for real. If I don’t teach you a tough lesson, you’ll make the same mistakes again in the future. My
precious grandchildren won’t be able to see our sincerity either... So just grit your teeth and endure it. Also, you should groan
once in a while to make the kids sympathize with you.”
Francine gave out thoughtful advice while whipping Stefan.
“Makes sense.”
Stefan agreed with Francine’s plan. He started groaning and screaming.
“Ah, it hurts!”
“Ah, I’ve learned my lesson!”
“Ah, I’m gonna die if you keep hitting me!”
Children were naive and innocent, so as long as he kept acting pitiful, they would forgive him in no time.
However... Renee was not a child and she was extremely clever, so this trick would definitely not work on her!
Renee finished making lunch and brought the delicious dishes to the dining table. She then heard the groaning and screaming
from outside the villa.
It sounded like Stefan’s voice, but how could the Great Demon King make that kind of sound?!
Renee walked out of the villa with much curiosity.
She immediately saw Francine whipping Stefan with a cane while Stefan pleaded for mercy.
Umm...... It was not a pretty sight.
Adie and Abby watched on with great interest, They had clearly fallen for the superb acting skills of Francine and Stefan.

When they noticed Renee, they beckoned to her excitedly.
“Mommy, come here! Come here! The fairy godmother is going ham! Finally, someone’s teaching Bad Daddy a lesson!”
Abby grabbed Renee’s hand and dragged her over, worried that she might miss out on the show.
“Uhhh...”
Renee felt a little awkward. She did not know how to deal with the situation.
Her former mother-in-law was beating up her ex-husband, while her son and her daughter were enjoying the show?!
Should she pretend to be concerned and talk Francine out of it or should she join in and watch the show together with her
children?
“Ren, my good daughter-in-law! Long time no see!”
Francine smiled from ear to ear as she greeted Renee while hitting Stefan.
Stefan was pretty immersed in the act, but when he saw Renee, he immediately reverted back into an iceberg.
No matter how hard Francine’s cane hit him, his face remained cold and indifferent. He did not even let out so much as a groan,
as if he felt nothing.
“Brat, you were doing so well, why did you stop? Keep acting miserable or your wife won’t sympathize with you!”
Francine lowered her voice and growled at Stefan.
“......”
Stefan pursed his lips and kept as quiet as a statue.
He could bleed and he could break a bone, but he could not lose the image of a dignified man in front of Renee!
