Chapter 616
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Trepidation was written all over Reneeâs face. She was full of guilt, but she raised her fist and said threateningly, âGo on and speak if you dare, Jovan!â
âIgnore her,â Stefan coldly stated. âTell me everything you know.â
Jovan smiled wickedly, then began in a meaningful tone, âIf Iâm not mistaken, your marriage to Renee lasted for about four years. In our current society, thatâs not a short marriage at all. Do you think you know her well? Do you know what her real personality is like?â
Stefanâs expression turned ugly, and he said in a dangerously icy tone,â What exactly are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush -1 donât have time to chat with you.â
âAnswer my questions then. Do you understand her? What kind of a person is she in your eyes? Once Iâve got your answers, Iâll tell you the shocking secret that sheâs been hiding from youâ¦â
Jovanâs words aggravated both Stefan and Renee, but in order to satisfy his curiosity, Stefan forced himself to keep calm and answered the questions. âObjectively speaking, as a wife, she was capable, dignified, gentle, and virtuous. She had never caused any scandals that would humiliate me, she always behaved excellently at events, and she was never a burden to the Hunt family.â
Stefanâs comments were objective and sensible. One might even say that they were admirable praises for Renee, but to her, these praises were even more humiliating than insults. Stefan spoke of his âwifeâ
as if she was just another tool for him-like a fridge, an air conditioner, or a sofa-with more practical functions than feelings.
For a woman, nothing was more tragic than being treated like a tool by the person you loved⦠She really had made a wise choice by getting a divorce from Stefan!
âLooks like you were quite satisfied with Renee, huh? Too bad⦠Although both of you have shared the same bed for four years as husband and wife, although both of you made a holy vow to never leave each otherâs side whether poor or rich⦠you still donât understand her at all, Stefan. Although you were her husband, you donât even understand her personality!â Jovanâs eyes were full of disappointment and contempt for Stefan.
Stefanâs gaze was steely as he asked Jovan coldly, âWho do you think you are? What right do you have to question me? Do you actually think you understand her more than I do?â
He didnât mind that accusation coming from anyone else, but this imbecile dared to question him? What right did he have to say all those things to him?
How could there possibly be any secret between Renee and that scumbag that he did not know about?
âOf course I understand her more than you do,â Jovan chuckled, âbecause even before you knew a woman named Renee Everheart existed, I had already fallen deeply in love with herâ¦â
Jovanâs expression was initially cynical and impish, but now there was a sincerity on his face that was somewhat charming.
âJovan!â Renee whispered, her cheeks slightly flushed. âIsnât there enough trouble already? Stop creating more problems!â
âWhat are you so shy about?â Jovan raised his eyebrows mischievously at Renee and smiled. âThis isnât the first time Iâve confessed my feelings for you, and technically, youâre single now. Donât tell me youâre still loyal to this cold-blooded cousin of mine?â
Reneeâs eyes blazed with anger. âJovan, you idiot! Youâre really asking for a good beating now!â
