Chapter 958
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
While fumbling, Stefan vigilantly closed the door.
The only person he trusted in Carmine Pawnshop was Chase.
He did not think that the four-year master-servant relationship was merely acting.
âMr. Hunt, what would you like to ask me?â
Chase sighed secretly and asked Stefan softly.
âHow is Renee? Did that maniac hurt her?â
âDonât worry, Mr. Hunt. Miss Everheart is fine. Even if my boss hurt himself, he wonât hurt Miss Everheart,â Chase answered honestly.
âSo, theyâre siblings?â
âYes, theyâre mixed-gendered twins.â
âNo wonder that maniac let me go. Itâs unprecedented!â
Stefan slowly clenched his fingers with deep shock.
Although he had long guessed that Renee had an extraordinary relationship with that man, he was still ill at ease when he confirmed it at the moment. His beliefs were deeply shaken.
It turned out that the rumor was not ungrounded. That year, the Everheart family did gain a pair of twins of mixed genders. However, rumor had it that the elder son died upon birth, and he turned out to be alive later.
âIf thatâs the case, why didnât Renee come and see me? Is sheâ¦â
Stefanâs heart skipped a beat because he did not dare to dwell on it anymore.
He vaguely remembered that Renee jumped into the water dungeon to save him. It meant that she might also be bitten by the venomous snakes.
If she was fine and if she was that manâs sister, she would have freedom in Carmine Pawnshop. Shouldnât she come and see him long ago?
It had been such a long time, but she did not come. So, the reason was obvious.
âDonât worry. Miss Everheart is fine. Sheâs not at Carmine Pawnshop now.â
âSheâs not around?â
âYes, she left long ago when you were nearing death. She might not even care about whether youâre alive or not!â
Chase shrugged and elaborated lightly, âMiss Everheart is the same as my boss. Theyâre rational people. They wonât delay their plans for the sake of romantic relationships. Whatâs more⦠thereâs one thing which Iâm unsure whether I should tell you honestly or not.â Stefan subconsciously clenched his fingers. His heart was filled with unstoppable pain. He asked coldly, âWhat is it?â
âIt wasnât the bossâ idea to lure you into the water dungeon. It was Miss Everheartâs idea instead. She hates you for lying to her and betraying her. So, she wanted to go the whole hog and kill you so as not to be affected by youâ¦â
âThatâs impossible!â
Stefanâs eyes turned scarlet. He said firmly, âDo you think you can sew discord between us?
Renee isnât that kind of cruel and wicked woman. Itâs very easy if she wants me dead. She didnât have to spend so much effort, let alone jump into the water prison to save me!â
âItâs normal, even if you donât believe me. After all, you guys were once a married couple, and youâve had children together. Who will believe that their significant other wants to kill them?â
Chase shook his head and gave Stefan a fatal blow. âBut if she cares for you, why would she leave at such an important moment without any concerns about you? When youâre blind, and at your most helpless, she leaves you all alone in your enemyâs base, which is full of danger. She didnât even inquire anything about you.â
âThatâs enough. Shut upâ
