Chapter 104
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
The chaos in the room instantly came to a halt. Everyone was staring straight at the little red book.
âSh*t!â
Renee quickly crouched down and tried to hide the book. However, it was too late. The divorce certificate was clearly printed on the cover.
The message was blaring loudly despite the silence in the room. Stefan and Renee were divorced!
âYou⦠You twoâ¦â Old Mr. Hunt held his chest, looking in pain.
âGrandpa!â
Stefan and Renee both ran to help Old Mr. Hunt at the same time.
Old Mr. Hunt, however, shook Stefanâs hand away and chided coldly, âDonât call me grandpa. I canât accept it. Youâre all grown up, and youâve stopped listening to me. How dare you sneakily divorce Ren!
Are you trying to kill me?!â
âIn that case, Iâll do as you wishâ¦â Old Mr. Hunt suddenly pulled open the drawer and took out a loaded pistol. He said with a sad look, âThis gun saved my life many years ago. Renâs grandfather gave it to me. Iâm too ashamed to live anymore. I better go to meet Renâs grandfather and confess!â
After that, Old Mr. Hunt pointed the gun directly to his head and appeared like he would pull the trigger at any time.
âGrandpa, no!â
Renee and Lurch were so scared that their faces turned white. They didnât dare to move an inch.
Stefan appeared calmer than them. He said expressionlessly, âGrandpa, stop it. I made a mistake. You can punish me as you like, but donât fool around with your life. When Grandma does this, it works.
But⦠this is really very childish.â
When Stefan was a child, he lived with his grandparents and shared a strong connection with them. He knew his grandparentsâ personalities and tricks like the back of his hand and could easily see through their deception.
âFool around?â
Old Mr. Hunt enunciated each word slowly with a stern face and a serious tone, âIâll give you three days. First, abort your child with that woman. Second, remarry Ren.â
âIf you donât do it in three days, youâll know how serious I can get!â
Sullivan was not kidding. A soldier was a man of promise, not to mention it was a promise made to his sworn brother.
Four years ago, he promised Maurice that the Hunt family would be responsible for Renee and that Stefan would care for her for the rest of his life. Despite that, Stefan broke his promise and made Ren suffer so much. It was only fair that he atone for his sins through death!
âI disagree!â
Renee spoke before Stefan could say anything. âI was the one who asked for the divorce. Remarriage is impossible.â
âSilly girl. What are you thinking? Why are you still defending this brat?â
well. You Old Mr. Hunt said with distress, âI know you loved him so much. How could you be the one to initiate the divorce? He must have been bewitched by the evil woman and forcefully divorced you. Donât be afraid! Iâll back you up!â
âGrandpa, Iâm sorry to disappoint you. Although Stefen and I were married, we had no feelings for each other. We divorced to pursue our happiness.â
Renee silently clenched her fingers, trying to stay sensible and maintain a sober look. âWe both have someone else now. Being tied will only do us harm, so please give us your blessings.â
âWhatâ¦â Old Mr. Hunt was flabbergasted to discover that Renee was the one who initiated the divorce.
He had always believed that this silly girl was deeply in love with his grandson. How did her feelings change so suddenly? It was simply too bizarre!
âFine, forget it. This brat has been cold and unloving since young. He only cares about his work. Now that he has cheated, he probably canât give you happiness. Itâs good that the divorce happened.â
âHowever, you remain my good granddaughter despite being divorced. Come and spend time with me whenever youâre free. If you need any help, just ask!â
Old Mr. Hunt held Reneeâs hand with a face full of kindness. However, it immediately turned grim as he turned to face Stefan. âAs for you, kneel in the familyâs memorial chamber for three days and three nights and reflect on yourself!â
âI understand!â Stefan lowered his head and accepted the punishment willingly. Even so, his mood suddenly turned sour for some reason.
