The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 313
‘Is there going to be a war? Are they going to kill me?’ Renee thought to herself, her heart pounding.
Justin caressed her head and grinned sheepishly. “This is the Baldwin family’s overly lavish welcome tradition... I tried to warn
you.”
Renee narrowed her eyes at him. “You should’ve tried harder.”
Finally, she exhaled deeply and grumbled, “They nearly gave me a heart attack. I thought they were trying to kill me!”
“Don’t worry, you’re a guest of the Baldwin family. We can’t possibly murder you!” Justin grinned at her cheekily, then grabbed
her hand and said, “Since we’re acting, we gotta make it look real. If not, my grandfather will be able to tell we’re faking it!”
Renee cooperatively held his hand and nodded. “Don’t worry, I got this!”
The two walked towards the group, holding hands.
Renee saw an elderly man in uniform standing amid the troops. His outfit was adorned with medals, and he emerged from a tank
with a man and a woman.
“Grandpa! Dad! Mom!” Tears of joy welled up in Justin’s eyes as he excitedly waved at them. It had been a long time since he’d
been back, and he missed his family. He let go of Renee’s hand and opened his arms to embrace them happily.
However, instead of an embrace, he received a smack on the face as the old man pushed him aside. “Move aside, brat!”
Austin impatiently moved in front of Justin and smiled warmly at Renee.” Are you Renee? Maurice’s granddaughter?”
Renee was stunned by Austin’s enthusiasm and nodded awkwardly. “Yes, that’s me.”
Austin’s eyes glistened with emotion as he said, “I’ve been waiting for this day for 20 years... Maurice saved my life, but because
of my arrogance and hatred for the Hunt family, I ruined my friendship with him. I even missed out on the opportunity to see him
one last time.”
“You are definitely Maurice’s granddaughter. You look just like him, and your noble demeanor tells me that you were born to
lead.” The old man studied her with adoration in his eyes.

Justin’s parents, Jack Baldwin and Sophia Jordan, admired Renee too.
“Miss Renee, you are stunning. You’d be a perfect future daughter-in-law! I have to thank the Hunt family for letting go of such a
wonderful treasure.” Sophia patted Renee’s hand and smiled at her kindly.
“Of course! novelxo Miss Renee’s mother is a well-known beauty in Beach City, after all – tons of men were fighting for her hand
back then,” Jack said in amusement. “Miss Renee is just as beautiful as her mother!”
Renee was so overwhelmed by their enthusiasm that she didn’t know what to do. She could only smile awkwardly and glanced
at Justin for help.
Getting her cue, Justin instantly pulled her behind him. “Behave, everyone... You’re scaring my girlfriend!”
Austin chuckled and said gently, “Don’t be scared. You’re the future mistress of the Baldwin family. To show you our sincerity, we
prepared a special gift for you we think you’ll like!”
