The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“Who’s there?” Chase immediately started struggling in his attacker’s grip, and elbowed the
person hard.
“Calm down, it’s just me.” Renee awkwardly removed her hand from the man’s eyes and
rubbed her aching stomach.” I was just messing with you! I didn’t expect that you’d be so
skilled at martial arts-that elbow of yours nearly killed me!”
“Oh, it’s you, Miss Everheart! I’m so sorry, please punish me as you see fit.” Chase lowered
his head guiltily, about to kneel. He was wearing a white suit, which made him look gentle
and elegant.
“Please don’t. You don’t have to be so careful in front of me, I’m not like my brother.” Renee
glanced at Quinton’s bedroom, then quietly asked, “Is my brother asleep?”
“Yes, Miss Everheart.”
“Let’s go and grab a bite then.”
“Miss Everheart, we can’t. You’re my superior, so how-”
“Chase, I told you before that I’m not my brother. Let’s go.” Renee dragged him to a street
nearby that was full of hawker stalls.
“Sir, we’d like to order burgers, chips, and two dozen beers!” She casually shouted at the
owner who was busy cooking.
“Sure, please wait a moment,” the man called back while tending to his stove.
This was the messiest and most chaotic place in Beach City. Many gangsters frequented
the place, and the place was always crowded until dawn. People were playing drinking

games, clinking their glasses, and cursing
endlessly. The atmosphere was wild, lively, and very inviting.
Chase was rather rigid at first, being polite and respectful to Renee. However, after a few
beers, he started to relax and open up. “Miss Everheart, let me be frank with you... I’ve been
wanting to eat here for many years, but as the main attendant of Carmine Pawnshop, I was
hesitant to do so. You’ve helped me fulfil my wish today, and I’m very grateful forthat.”
“Heh, you flatter me. Just tell me if you want to eat this kind of food next time. Ignore my
brother; if he dares to scold you, I’ll scold him back on your behalf!” Renee declared.
“Haha! Miss Everheart, you’re so nice. Although you’re my boss’ sister, you’re both so
different. He leads a very
conservative life, which is really quite pitiful.” Chase took a sip of his beer, staring off into the
distance sadly.
When Renee saw Chase let down his guard, she carefully asked, “Chase, I heard from my
brother that you were the one who founded his business with him. Both of you came out of
that small fishing village and established Carmine Pawnshop together, right?
