The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Renee was held by armed guards and pushed into a remote place in the fort that was
surrounded by a lot of guards.
“How dare you offend Mr. Jenkins’ If not for Mr. Osborne, your tongue would have been cut
off by now! Stay in there and reflect on yourself.” The guard fiercely pushed her into a small,
dark room, which was the so-called dungeon. The door was closed again, and Renee felt
her throat tighten in the tiny room, like she was being strangled.
“Who’s there?” There was movement in the furthest corner, and Renee immediately realised
there was someone else in the dungeon with her.
“You’re new here?” The person leaned back against the wall and stared at Renee. Renee
couldn’t make her features out in the dark, but her voice was eerily toneless.
Renee frowned and asked tentatively, “Could you be... Joanne?” She vaguely heard that
Joanne was locked up in the dungeon too. Besides, there were practically no women
around, so it was very likely that this person was Joanne.
“You’re new here, but you know me. You don’t seem like the average person.” There was a
hint of teasing in Joanne’s flat voice. She figured Renee had to be special for her to be
locked up in here too.
“You’re Joanne?” Renee rushed to the woman and said happily, “That’s great! I didn’t expect
to see you so soon!”
“Hey, back off! I don’t know you, so stop acting so pally,” Joanne snapped, immediately on
guard. She had been hurt so many times before that she never let down her guard in front

of anyone.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. You should... You should know the boss of Carmine
Pawnshop, right? Quinton, who’s called Night Demon?”
“Brother...” Joanne’s aloof voice softened slightly, and she sounded like a lost little girl.
“Yes, he was once the brother you loved the most, but you betrayed him. I’m glad you still
know who he is!” Renee clenched her fists to calm herself, and refrained from cursing this
woman who repaid Quinton’s kindness with betrayal.
“Brother... I did do him wrong, but what would you know about that?” Joanne gritted her
teeth and said, “I would do it again if I had the chance! In fact, I would have killed him!’
“W-What did you say?” Renee was shocked, not expecting such a reaction from Joanne.
She thought that Joanne must have been in a situation where she was forced to stab
Quinton, but unexpectedly...
“Can you tell me what Night Demon did to make you hate him so much? You guys were on
good terms in the past, and you were always the angel who protected him and kept him
company. Why did you-” “Hmph, angel?”
