Chapter 154
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âMiss Ren, is that you?â
As it got closer to Renee, the gruff voice became a little more excited.
Renee was scared to death. She waved her hands around and shouted, âGo away! Donât make me summon a priest to exorcise you!â
âDonât be scared. Miss Ren, itâs me. Your favorite, Margaret.â
The skinny âghostâ pulled Reneeâs wrist with one hand and pushed away the hair with the other to reveal her pale face.
âMargaret?â
Renee instantly quieted down and carefully opened her eyes.
After taking a good look at the âghostâ, she couldnât believe her own eyes.
âMargaret, how? Didnât you Margaret was the Everheart residenceâs housekeeper and Reneeâs nanny.
Renee was closer to Margaret than she was to her mother on some levels.
.
Ever since the Everheart family went bankrupt, and Reneeâs parents ended their life, Margaret had been guarding the house. In the end, Margaret was rumored to be beaten to death and buried.
That was what Renee heard after marrying into the Hunt family.
By the time she got back to the Everheart residence, it was too late. She went to the graveyard but couldnât find Margaretâs body.
After she went home, she got sick and was in a coma for more than half a month. She seemed to be possessed, blurting out random things from time to time.
It was then that Francine decided that she was bad luck.
Renee had vowed that one day she would seek revenge for Margaret.
Coincidentally she was looking for the few men who murdered her!
âCould it be that Margaret knew about it and came to see me?â she thought to herself.
âMiss Ren, donât be afraid. Iâm not a ghost. Touch me. Iâm warm.â
Margaret was worried that she might have scared Renee, so she instantly put Reneeâs hand over her forehead. Her grin remained as warm as before.
Renee touched her forehead carefully and found that Margaret was indeed warm!
âYouâre alive! This is amazing!â
Renee was so happy and excited that she cried tears of joy.
The joy of suddenly having a family again was overwhelming.
âMiss Ren, you still like to cry like when you were small. Are you hungry? Iâll make you some food.â
Margaretâs sole responsibility was to look after the Everheart residence and Renee, and it gave her meaning and a sense of purpose.
She had been waiting for this day for four years!
âNo, Iâm not hungry. Iâm not in the mood to eat. I have so many questions. I need your explanation.
Otherwise, I wonât sleep!â
Renee switched on the light and pulled Margaret to sit down on the sola. She wanted to know what happened after she left the Everheart residence.
âOkay, Iâll tell you all about it.â
Margaret gently held Reneeâs hand and wiped her tears as she began to speak.
