Chapter 381
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âRen, it really is you! I finally see you again.â
The man was none other than Reneeâs despicable uncle, Elon Barnes.
âYou again?â
Renee snorted. âLeave me alone, you lowlife. Every time I come to visit my parents, youâre always here.â
âSigh, youâre right, Ren, I am a lowlife. But thank god, I come here to wait for you every year and now I finally get to see you againâ¦â
Elon wiped away his tears and said, âYou have no idea what Iâve been through all these years. I missed you so much!â
Renee sneered, âMissed me? More like you missed my money.â
âUghâ¦â
Elon rubbed his chin, feeling a bit awkward.
âWhatâs the matter? Youâve already finished the 7 million dollars Stefan gave you four years ago?â
âOh, those? Theyâre long gone!â
Elon waved his hand and said regretfully, âI thought Iâd use that money to invest in the stock market and make even more money, but luck wasnât on my side⦠I lost it all in the last two years. Iâve lost everything.â
âIs that so? Well, itâs none of my business.â
A mocking smile crept onto Reneeâs face. âYou wouldnât be so naive to think that I would actually help you out, right?â
She was not a saint.
She still vividly remembered what Elon did to the Everheart family. She was already showing him mercy not settling the scores with him afterwards.
âNo, thatâs not it. Iâm a new man now. Iâve turned over a new leaf and Iâm now making an honest living.
The reason I come here to wait for you every year is because I care about our relationship as a family. I hope we can let bygones be bygones and become a loving family again.â
Elonâs words were quite sincere.
Four years could indeed change a lot of things.
At least the Elon now was no longer the despicable lowlife that he once was.
His changes impressed Renee.
âOh, how are you making an honest living now?â
âItâs all thanks to your husbandâs help!â
Elon spoke of Stefan with unbridled admiration. âFour years ago, I lost all my money, and I didnât know where you were. I didnât know what to do, so I shamelessly went to Mr. Hunt for help. Not only did he give me more money, he also gave me a job. Iâm now working as a workshop manager at a small processing factory under the H Group, earning tens of thousands of dollars a year!â
âStefan would do something like that?â
Renee was surprised.
âNot only is he kind, heâs also caring!â
Elon continued, âFor the past few years, heâs the first to come here to visit your parentsâ grave on their death anniversary. Look at this row of flower bouquets. Arenât they grand? Theyâre from him. He would come here personally every year, rain or shine!â
âSo⦠it really is him!â
Renee looked at the row of flowers with mixed feelings.
Although she no longer had any feelings forthat man, she felt touched knowing that he actually had such a âhumanâ side to him.
That means he was also the one who dropped the amber pendant.
âRen, Iâm so happy to see you again. Allow me to treat you and Mr. Hunt to a meal to celebrate our reunion and to show my gratitude!â
Without waiting for Reneeâs reply, Elon took out his phone and called Stefan.
