The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

“Or what?” Renee turned around, staring at the man’s hand around her wrist, her expression as calm as still water. “Would you like to return the favor, Mr. Hunt?”

Stefan was silent as he stared at her coldly. His deep gaze held a million unspoken words.

Renee boldly stepped forward, and her face was now inches away from his. Her lips curved into a smirk, and she whispered mockingly, “Mr. Hunt is famous for holding grudges, so why pretend? If you’re upset, just get even and slap me.”

Naturally, Stefan didn’t lift a finger. Instead, he looked at the people around them, silently commanding

them to leave.

Soon, they were the only two left in the large restaurant.

Stefan let go of her, and exhaled deeply. “I never wanted to use you…. I may have been lying when I said I loved you, but I truly am sorry for hurting you.”

The light of the chandelier accentuated the man’s beautiful features, making him look like some kind of ethereal being. He was so near, yet so far.

“Are you… apologizing to me?” Renee froze, her eyes wide in disbelief. She hadn’t expected the insufferably prideful Master Hunt to lower his ego and apologize.

“No, you must’ve misheard me.” Stefan let out a dry cough, looking embarrassed.

He quickly schooled his expression back into his usual cold mask. “I don’t know if you’ve realized, but H Group was gravely affected by your little livestream prank. Since you’re the one who did it, you need to take full responsibility for it.”

“Didn’t I cooperate with your act just now? I helped clear your name! What else do you want me to do?” Renee bit out furiously.

Personally, she felt like she was being too nice to him. If someone else were in her place, they’d definitely paint him in a worse light and demand a huge sum of money. Renee, however, couldn’t bring herself to do so, as she had truly loved the man for the past four years.

“Everyone is rooting for us, so even if we got a divorce… we’d still have to pretend like we’re together in public,” Stefan explained. He’d even started meddling in the woman’s private life.

“On paper, you’re still my wife, so it’s best that you don’t get too close with that Osborne fellow. It’d be bad for our reputation. Instead, you may continue using your title as ‘Mrs. Hunt’ anywhere you’d like, and you can spend however much you want. Also, if anyone tries to make trouble for you, just tell me right away and I’ll come to your rescue.”

Renee was so stunned that her jaw dropped. ‘Did he hit his head somewhere? Who does he think he is? Who gave him the right to control my life? Also… did he really say he’d come to my rescue? Ugh, what a narcissist!’ (2

“Mr. Hunt, you seem to have forgotten something.” Renee sneered. “Our divorce will be finalized soon, and when that happens, we will no longer have any connection to each other. What makes you think you have any control over my life? Are you the law? Are you God?”
