Chapter 950
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Immediately following that was the sound of Quintonâs roaring laughter.
âHahahaha, look at you now, Stefan Hunt! I canât believe something like this would ever happen to you.
Do you remember how I begged you to let me live all those years ago, and you refused me? Now you get the retribution that you deserve!â
âDonât stop!â He ordered his men. âKeep it going! Keep releasing more things into the water! I want this snob to taste what itâs like to suffer a fate worse than death!â
Just then, Stefanâs agonizing cry of pain once again rang out.
Chase was in such a panic that he stomped his feet and rushed towards Renee, who still stood coldly and frigidly there, âMs. Everheart, he really canât hold on for much longer! I hope, and I wish, that you wonât regret this!â
âUgh! So annoying! How can you be such an annoying gnat?!â
After yelling at Chase, she then turned around and returned to the water prison.
As expected, the water had reached Stefanâs neck, and snakes and insects could be seen floating and swimming in the water. Stefan seemed to be in excruciating pain. His handsome face, which had originally been fearless and gutsy, was now twisted by agony. It looked like he must have been bitten by the snakes many times now.
âStop it!â Renee shouted. She could not bear it any longer. âStop releasing more things into the water!â
âRenee!â Quinton turned around. âWhat are you doing back here? Are you also here to enjoy the sight?â
He then smiled with smug satisfaction at Renee and told her, âI can finally enjoy the sight of this arrogant bastard suffering in such a sorry state! Iâve been waiting for this moment for so long.â
âQuinton,â Reneeâs voice was all choked up, and her eyes were reddening as she pleaded, âI beg of you! Youâve punished him enough. Let him go!â
âWhatâs wrong with you? You were so firm and decisive just now! Why are you suddenly turning soft for this garbage of a man againâ¦â
âLet us not waste time talking. Just let him go! He canât hold on for much longer.â
âSo what if he canât hold on for much longer? I never intended to let him go anyway!â
âBut I intend to let him go, so⦠you have to let him go.â
âHave to?â Quintonâs expression turned as hard as stone. âRenee, you canât force me to do anything just because you are my sister. I donât âhave toâ do anything here. Youâre just too emotional. The main purpose of what Iâm doing now is to let you make a clean break from your feelings and discard any love or affection you haveâ¦â
âFine! If you wonât let him go, then Iâll save him myself!â
Without saying another word, Renee jumped into the water.
âRenee!â Quinton had no idea Renee could be so impulsive. He quickly raised his hand and shouted, âQuick! Close the valves! Get her out of there!â
âReneeâ¦â Stefan was already very weak because the snake venom had spread throughout his body, and he was barely conscious. âWhat are you doing? Hurry⦠Get out!â
He could hardly hold on any longer now, but when he saw Renee, he told himself not to pass out and began to struggle hard to break free from the chains.
âListen to me! Donât be stupid! Get out!â
âShutâGulp! Shut up!â
Because Renee was shorter than Stefan, the current water level was more than enough to submerge her completely, and she inevitably choked on some of the water. It was so harrowing that she wished she could die in that instant. What was even more disgusting was how the creepy crawlies began to slither through her clothesâ¦
But she had no time to care about anything else. She took a deep breath and dove into the water, trying her best to free Stefan from the chains.
The water was so murky that she dared not open her eyes. The iron chains were thick and heavy, and they were very tightly bound. Renee smashed a rock violently against the chains till her skin was chafed. The pain was unbearableâ¦
âHold on!â Renee shouted as she floated on the surface. She took a deep lungful of breath and told Stefan, whose lips were deathly pale and who was quickly losing consciousness, âYouâll be free soon!â
âYou, you idiot⦠You canât fool meâ¦â
Stefanâs whole body was cold, and although two-thirds of his soul was already in heaven, his snarky wit remained.
In the end, he used up all the might that he still had left to once again tell Renee, âIâm sorry.â
