Chapter 224
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Renee also happened to be wearing a white dress. She didnât have much makeup on, and her hair was brushed to one side. Despite appearing innocent, there was something very alluring about her.
She smiled in satisfaction. âThis place isnât too shabby. I think we should definitely come here more often. Having Ms. Lee on the team has definitely lifted a weight off my shoulders. We should celebrateâ¦â
Renee trailed off when she noticed Leia staring at something in the distance.
âRenee, doesnât that handsome guy on the dance floor look a little like your husband?â Leia tugged on Reneeâs arm and asked cautiously.
Renee looked in the direction Leia was pointing, and to her surprise, it was indeed Stefan.
Liam and Leia looked at each other worriedly, wondering how Renee would react.
However, Renee laughed it off. âHeâs not my husband, heâs my ex-husband. Get it right, guys.â
âBoss, if youâre not comfortable with this, we can go somewhere else. Why donât we go to-â
âWhy should we go somewhere else?â Renee interrupted indignantly, holding her head up high as she walked across the dance floor gracefully.â This bar doesnât belong to him. If he can be a customer here, why canât I?â
âThatâs true⦠Weâll just have to have more fun than heâs having!â Liam declared as he led Renee and Leia to the table heâd reserved.
Coincidentally, their table was across from Stefanâs, since they were both in the VIP section of the bar.
Christopher and Xavier noticed Renee, and felt a little awkward, wondering whether to greet her or not.
Renee, however, raised her glass in their direction. It was an elegant and accommodating gesture.
Christopher returned the gesture, a look of excitement in his eyes.
Xavier ignored Renee and turned to look at Christopher in disbelief.â Christopher, why did you respond?â
âXavier, what do you have against Ms. Everheart? She and Stefan are no longer married. As the victim in their marriage, Ms. Everheart is a lot more gracious than she needs to be. I think she has a kind heart,â Christopher sighed.
âNo way! Stefan is the real victim in the marriage. He was forced to marry her. If she was so kind-
hearted, she wouldnât have blocked him!â Xavier argued.
While the two fought about who the victim in Stefan and Reneeâs marriage was, Renee started drinking.
Renee was drinking a fruity wine that had a low alcohol percentage, which meant that it was safe for pregnant women to drink.
âWhere are your phones? Come on, letâs play!â novelxo Renee urged Liam and Leia impatiently. She wanted to play a mobile game thatâd been very popular lately. The whole time sheâd been there, she hadnât even looked at the dance floor. It was as if she didnât even recognize Stefanâ¦
However, Liam and Leia carefully glanced at each other.
âRenee, do you really not care at all? You donât have to pretend in front of us,â Leia said hesitantly.
âHuh?â Renee rolled her eyes. âI already said heâs my ex-husband. Why should I care?â
Renee was completely focused on the game. âEnough talking. Letâs form a team of four and take down our enemies!â
Liam stopped talking, but he stared at her dubiously. Had Renee really moved on? âArenât there only three of us? How are we going to make a team of four?â
Renee smiled mysteriously. âDonât worry about it⦠Iâll introduce you guys to a pro!â
