Chapter 592
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
The Hunt Villa was empty. The garden was deserted. The living room was not lit. The inside of the villa was pitch black. The air had a stale odor.
The only light that was turned on was the one in Stefanâs room on the second floor. A tall figure could be seen at the window.
Renee walked into the living room and climbed the rotating staircase to the second floor.
Stefanâs door was slightly ajar, and through the crack in the door, she could see a man standing by the window.
However, she could only see his back.
The back figure was tall, straight, and cold. It must be Stefan!
At that moment, Renee felt a passion that she had not felt for a long time.
She rushed forward and pushed the door open. âStefan! I knew youâre still alive!â
The man by the window slowly turned around. His thin lips curled into a smile as he stared at Renee with mischievous eyes. He shrugged and said, âMy good sister-in-law, Iâm sorry to disappoint you, but Iâm not that man youâre thinking about day and night.â
âJovan? Why⦠why are youâ¦â
Reneeâs passion quickly cooled down when she saw the manâs face.
She facepalmed and awkwardly buried her head in her hand. She wished she could dig a hole in the ground and jump into it.
She mistook him for someone else again. It was so embarrassing!
âStarting from tomorrow, Iâll take my high-and-mighty cousinâs place as the CEO of H Group and receive all his belongings. Isnât it only natural for me to come here tonight to experience what his life felt like?â
Jovanâs handsome face was adorned with a faint smile the whole time. It was the smug smile of a victor that looked down on everything.
Renee got inexplicably mad. âWhat are you looking so smug for? You are just a rat who came to usurp the throne during the most chaotic period in H Groupâs history. Youâre no hero!â
The smile on Jovanâs lips deepened. He shrugged nonchalantly, âWho told you I wanted to be a hero?
Itâs true, I am a rat. You know me very well. Looks like youâve been paying a lot of attention to me.â
The manâs eyes were filled with provocation and arrogance. He continued,â It never ends well for heroes. Take my dear cousin Stefan, for example. When he was alive, he was untouchable. Everybody only had good things to say about him. But after he died, he was humiliated and slandered. Everyone talks bad about him now. But what can he do?â
âShut up!â
When Renee heard Jovan insulting Stefan, Renee could not help getting angry. âLaugh all you want now, but youâre not gonna laugh for long.
Retribution will come for you soon enough. Youâll end up even worse than Stefan did!â
âDonât get emotional, my dear sister-in-law. Stefan is already dead. Why are you still so protective of him? Have you forgotten that he kicked you out of the house for his mistress and made you a laughingstock in the entire Beach City? I canât believe you would choose to repay evil with kindness.
You donât have the spirit of a rocker at all. How disappointingâ¦â
Jovan approached Renee one step at a time until he got very close to her. He lifted Reneeâs chin with his long fingers and said with a strange smile on his face, âSo what if my end is terrible? As long as I once stood at the top, as long as I have all that he once had, I can die without regrets!â
âThen you can go to hell now!â
Renee grabbed his long arm and pressed it against his back. She then pushed him fiercely against the wall.
She thought the guy would beg for mercy, but he actually became even more excited, as if he was crazy. With a provocative smile, he said, â Harder! Come on! Break my arm if you dare! That way, Iâll have a legitimate reason to pester you for a lifetime!â
Renee was furious but speechless. âJovan, are you a masochist? Do you like getting beat up so much?â
âThatâs right! My greatest pleasure is to be abused by you! The harder you abuse me, the more I love it!â âYouâre crazy!â
Renee felt goosebumps all over her body. She could only let him go.
