The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 290
Lydia did not expect Stefan to be so protective of Renee. But now, she naturally did not dare to say anything else. She quietly
packed up her things and left.
Before leaving, she took advantage of Stefan’s momentary absence to threaten Renee. “Hmph, don’t thinkyou’ve won! You’re
just an ex-wife who got dumped. You’re gonna show me no mercy today? Then don’t blame me for casting stones at you
tomorrow. You just wait, your peaceful days are coming to an end!”
Renee sneered. “I knew you would never change that easily. You’ll never take orders from me willingly. Then isn’t it perfect that
you won’t have to serve me anymore? If I hear another grumble from you, you won’t even get your severance pay.”
“I’ll remember this, Renee Everheart!”
Lydia gave Renee a hateful look and left fuming.
As soon as she left the villa, she called Francine.
“Ma’am, you must right this injustice! Renee Everheart is such a cruel woman! She’s bewitched the young master and occupied
the villa. Not only did she chase me out, I heard she’s responsible for Miss Desrosiers’ death too...”
Lydia complained about Renee for half an hour. 80% of the content was outright slander.
Upon hearing her complaints, Francine got so mad that she almost had a heart attack. She clenched her fists and said
dangerously, “I knew she must be responsible for Briar’s death! Oh, my poor unborn grandchild who never got the chance to see
the world! Renee Everheart, I’ll definitely make you pay!”
After Renee moved back to the Hunt Villa, she dismissed not only the housekeeper, but also the other servants.
As a result, she and Stefan were the only people left in the villa that was over a thousand square meters in size. It was so empty
that there were echoes when they spoke.
Stefan was baffled. He asked Renee with a frown, “If you drive them all away, who will take care of this large house? Are you
gonna recruit new servants?”
Renee shook her head and said, “I have working hands and feet. I can take care of the house myself. Most importantly, I like
quiet.”

Stefan nodded and said, “If we’re the only people who are gonna live in this villa, it’s gonna be quiet alright.”
Renee was bemused. “Didn’t you just say the villa is my sole property? If you’re gonna stay here too, then I’ll leave right away.”
A man and a woman living together under the same roof was fuel for gossip, even if it was a roof that was over a thousand
square meters in size so the two might not even run into each other that much. It would be bad for her reputation if people found
out. He might not care, but she did!
Stefan did not expect Renee to be so wary of him. His handsome face turned a bit colder. “I remember, back in the days, you
were always looking forward to me coming back here. Whenever you received news that I was coming back, you would always
prepare a large meal and wait for me on the swing in the garden. You would wait the whole afternoon...”
“Enough!”
Renee was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and jump into it.
Stefan was not exaggerating in the slightest. Back then, she really was that foolish, blinded by love.
At the time, she had a mental breakdown due to what happened to her family and deliberately stayed away from the outside
world. All she wanted to do was to be a good wife of the Hunt family. Stefan was the only person in her eyes.
She really did sit on the swing to wait for him to come back On many nights when he did not come back to villa, she would even
stay up all night because she missed him so much...
Looking back at it now, she felt disgusted with herself!
“I beg you, please stop talking about the past. If you keep going, I might have to bite my own tongue and kill myself!”
Renee took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, “Yes, I used to be obsessed with you, but people change. From
the moment you drove me out without a second thought, my love for you is gone...”
“I want you to leave now as much as I longed for you to return back then. If you stay, I’ll have to leave.”
Stefan’s expression was complicated.
After a long time, he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll leave. But look at me right now. Let me take a shower and change my
clothes first. I’ll go to the hospital to see how Xavier’s doing after that. Is that okay?”

At the moment, Stefan looked terrible, like he had just climbed out of a coal mine.
