The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 221
“Let’s do it!” After listening to Sandra’s plan, Renee’s eyes glowed with excitement. “Ms. Lee. I’ve got to hand it to you. You
actually found a solution for such a tricky case. I knew I needed you to join my firm! With the three of you around, I can do
whatever I want. The entire Beach City No, the entire world is mine!” Renee declared gleefully.
Zack laughed. “Boss, you’re exaggerating. You might not be able to get the entire Beach City, but I think you can acquire thirty to
forty percent of it.”
Clearly, Renee wasn’t satisfied with that amount. She frowned. “Why only thirty or forty percent? What about the rest?”
“What do you think?” Zack brought Renee crashing back to reality. “Naturally, the remaining sixty to seventy percent belongs to
your ex- husband, aka our ex–boss, Stefan Hunt.”
The Hunt family was one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, and the other seven families were also not to be
underestimated. The Everheart family wanted to return to its peak position, but the challenge would not be an easy one. Being
able to occupy thirty to forty percent of the market would already be a commendable feat.
Sandra, whose presence dominated the room, finally said something. “You don’t have to belittle yourself. If you win this case, the
Hunt family will become the Everheart family’s money–making tool. It’s not impossible for the Everheart family to surpass the
Hunt family.”
“Exactly. The Everheart family used to be on the same level as the Hunt family, it’s just that we made a few mistakes along the
way and fell behind...” Renee took a deep breath, then continued softly. “I’m the only remaining descendant of the Everheart
family – I can’t afford to make any more mistakes.”
Zack shook his head. ‘These women are way too ambitious. They expect the Everheart family to surpass the Hunt family, the
strongest family in Beach City, just by winning a single court case. They’re too naive!”
At night, in Sporadic Stars Bar.
Stefan, Christopher, and Xavier sat in the VIP section drinking glass after glass of whiskey, each with their own troubling
thoughts.
Since the three of them looked distinguished and exuded different vibes, nearly all the women who came to the bar were eyeing
them.

Xavier opened another bottle of whiskey and filled everyone’s glasses enthusiastically. “Stop looking so down. This is the last
night all
three of us will celebrate as single men! After tonight. Christopher will be trapped in marriage forever Cecelia isn’t someone you
can easily fool so if you don’t have your fun now, when will you?”
Christopher picked up his glass and silently watched the bubbles rising to the surface of his whiskey. There wasn’t even a hint of
joy on his face despite knowing he would soon be married. He let out a long sigh, swirling the whiskey in his hand absently.
Xavier couldn’t understand. “Christopher, you’re about to get married to your soulmate. Why are you sighing?”
Christopher didn’t answer him. Instead, he looked at Stefan, who also had a gloomy expression on his face. “Stefan, you’re the
only one among us who’s been married. Tell me, how did you feel at the time? Did you also have cold feet like me?”
Stefan stared at the alcohol in his glass, deep in thought. After a long while, he shook his head. “I forgot how I felt the night
before my wedding. I can only recall feeling disgusted.”
“Disgusted?” Christopher frowned. “Were you disgusted by the person you were marrying or by the idea of marriage itself?”
Stefan shook his head again. “I don’t know maybe both.”
Stefan and Renee had gotten married four years ago. It was such a long time ago that all his memories had turned blurry. He’d
forgotten many things, but the only thing he could clearly recall was that Renee looked gorgeous on their wedding day. She’d
worn a blue and white wedding dress. Her cheeks had been a little flushed, and she looked like a shy, young girl. In fact, she
didn’t even have the courage to look him in the eye that day.
Back then, she’d been adorable and demure, and he had felt the urge to protect her, but now, she was fierce like a tiger.
Whenever they met, she’d claw at him as if she wanted to kill him!
“Of course he’d be disgusted!” Xavier uttered as if he’d gone through a similar experience. “Stefan was forced to marry his wife,
so of course he wouldn’t be happy...”
“Christopher, it’s different for you and Cecelia. You two are getting married because you love each other. You’ve been through so
much as a couple, and you can finally be together now. I’m sure you’ll be very happy. Don’t you look forward to your life as a
married couple?” Xavier

asked curiously.
Stefan and Christopher looked at each other and said nothing. They smiled bitterly and clinked their glasses together.
“Yeah. I’m marrying Cecilia out of love, so I should be happy. Stefan and Ms. Everheart are getting divorced because they don’t
love each other, so he should be happy too, but Why do we both find it so hard to be happy?”
