The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 724

Stefan's threats made Renee feel more alarmed, and she wondered if he had noticed any discrepancies in her denial. However, since he hadn't made it clear that this was the case, she didn't want to question him any further either.

Just as the man was about to leave, Renee's eyes landed on the box which contained the Rainbow Glaze. "Wait."

Stefan's tall figure halted, anticipation in his eyes but his voice cold as he turned back to her. "What is it? Have you changed your mind?"

Renee couldn't help but roll her eyes. 'This man is so self-absorbed!'

"You've misunderstood. I just wanted you to take this back with you - I don't need it anymore." The woman pushed the box towards him with a cold expression.

Stefan looked visibly upset, and his aura was so menacing that anyone around him would get chills. He scoffed, "You don't need it anymore?"

"Actually, I just don't want to owe you any favors. This thing seems pretty valuable, so if I were to take it, we'd only be making things harder to settle between us." Renee folded her arms, looking just as indifferent herself.

In reality, not wanting to owe the man a favor was merely part of the reason she was returning the artifact.

She knew that the Rainbow Glaze was likely very important to Stefan and his family, so she didn't want to trouble him and the rest of the Hunts by taking it away from them. Despite this, she didn't want Stefan to realize that she was worried about him, which was why she'd rather him view her as a heartless woman instead.

As expected, her words were like adding fuel to the fire, burning the little bit of rationality he had to a crisp.

He immediately grabbed the woman by the wrists, and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were filled with desire as he glared at her as if he wanted to eat her up.
