Charles turned around and froze as well.The ex-married couple met each other unexpectedly, each with their own new companions. Charles's gaze fell on Renata, then shifted to Nathaniel. He looked at the man condescendingly while he scrutinized him. Needless to say, he was displeased.Standing next to him was a famous celebrity.She was in her early thirties. It was the age when ladies needed tender care. Women are naturally sensitive and sharp. She immediately noticed the change in the mood. Her delicate hand gently rested on Charles's shoulder as she asked in an extremely gentle voice, "Did you run into someone you know, Charles?"What was with that tone?Renata chuckled coldly at the apparent intimacy. She linked arms with Nathaniel and smiled serenely. She wanted to see how Charles would explain this to his sweetheart.Charles was accustomed to such situations, and easily defused it, "She's my ex-wife. Her name's Renata Gilmore." Then, he introduced his companion to Re
However, Charles still glanced at Renata as he left. She didn't even look at him. He hadn't accepted her invitation to the party. Moreover, he chose to date a beautiful celebrity. Why would she bother gracing him with a glance?Renata thought that loving herself was the best form of love there was!Her indifference annoyed Charles a little. If she would just show a little displeasure, rise from her seat, and confront him, there was still room for them to patch things up. The celebrity standing next to him wouldn't have been an issue at all.However, Renata didn't want that.She didn't want to have any relationship with Charles if she wasn't the only lady in his life. She didn't want anything from him if he wasn't loyal to her, either. Even if she had to get Daphne registered, she didn't want to endure a marriage that was rotten to the core. Renata had figured it out. It would be best if she could find a good and reliable man. Otherwise, she would become someone who Daphne
The interior of the car was dimly lit. Charles raised his hand to check his watch. It was already half past ten in the night. He didn't wait in the car. Instead, he straightaway went upstairs as if he owned the place. Charles's face was grim, and no one dared to stop him. Moreover, the servants there recognized him.They knew that he was Renata's ex-husband and that he was domineering. They were also aware that he had sex with her as well as the fact that he had been thoroughly examined by the doctor.Charles reached the second floor and pushed open the master bedroom door. Daphne was sleeping soundly. The nanny quickly stood up and greeted, "Greeting, Mr. Charles."Charles raised his hand, indicating for her to leave. He said he would take care of the child. The nanny didn't dare to say another word. She bowed her head and left the room hurriedly.Charles was angry. He claimed he would take care of Daphne, but he didn't actually know how. He lay on the bed, looking at the sl
Charles stared at Renata for a long time. They had been married for years, and yet she gave him up so easily. She had no reluctance, not even a hint of jealousy. She bluntly stated that she wanted to live well. She wanted to live a free and high-status life.Charles should have turned and left. However, he was prideful and couldn't accept that he failed. Furthermore, he couldn't stand her indifferent demeanor. He lost his composure and lifted her suddenly. He pulled her black stockings down to her slender calves. Then, he placed Renata on the dressing table. In the dim light, her body seemed to glow with a faint sheen, both beautiful and alluring.Charles had never been this turned on. Driven by a need to prove something, he quickly took off his clothes and drove his manhood into her private part.Renata refused to comply. She furiously pounded his shoulders. "What are you doing, Charles?" However, he was too powerful. She couldn't stop his advances. Eventually, she got
Renata wasn't angry either. They were divorced adults. Why did having flings with each other chrome with responsibility? Renata looked into the mirror and brushed her tousled long hair lightly. She smiled faintly, "It's not like we don't love each other, Charles. Besides, I'm getting older. I can't stand the test of time and have my feelings toyed with anymore! "You're in your prime and still want to sleep with more women for a few more years. While I understand that, I won't wait for you to change your ways."One disastrous marriage is enough for a lifetime, Charles. I don't want to go through it again."…Charles furrowed his brows lightly, "No matter how many women I sleep with, you remain the most important one. Your position won't change."Renata's voice was lazy and slightly husky, "You merely have a penis. Do you really think that makes you someone special? There are better pickings out there. I don't necessarily need your manhood."Her demeanor grew colder as she c
However, Charles knew Renata's ambition and tactics very well. He needed to prevent her from cheating on him. So, he had Jake investigate Nathaniel's background when he got into his car. Jake was capable. He quickly uncovered Nathaniel's entire history."He's a wealthy businessman. He's widowed with a son studying abroad."Charles sneered when he heard what Jake said. He patted his trousers lightly and gave an instruction to his assistant. "Call Nathaniel and tell him that Renata is my ex-wife and that I don't want her to remarry. Businessmen typically prioritize profits more than anything. He'll know what I mean."Jake felt this was inappropriate. Although he was Charles's assistant, he had also dealt with Renata quite a bit over the years. He considered her a good woman and a supportive wife. He knew that things wouldn't work out if Charles treated his ex-wife this harshly.Jake questioned him, "Don't you have a girlfriend?"I see you're quite attentive to Ms. Alisha. You
Renata sat in her office and reviewed the profiles of several top female celebrities. Then, she saw Alisha's picture.Her assistant, Keira, leaned in and whispered, "Ms. Alisha has connections, Ms. Renata. Keira mentioned she's the girlfriend of some important figure. They've been quite close recently, and she stands a good chance to marry him.""An important figure?" Renata scoffed internally.That must be Charles. She knew his ways all too well. This talk of rising was just a fleeting affair. She understood perfectly well that he wouldn't easily step into another marriage after finally being single. His second marriage would likely be reserved for a business advantage. In any case, she didn't have any interest in him anymore.Renata looked at the pictures several times. Finally, she said, "I prefer Blair Warner."Keira was surprised, but she complied.Renata was her direct superior and had an extremely close relationship with Gwynn. Renata held a significant position in the
"Also, stop calling me. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."…Renata hung up the phone and stepped out of the elevator. Charles was right outside. Alisha stood next to him. The two looked very much like a close couple."Hey, Renata," He called her name fondly.Tonight was a business engagement, and Renata wore a black professional dress. She looked both beautiful and capable. Seeing that the driver hadn’t arrived yet, she checked the time and made a call to him. Then, she looked at Charles and spoke softly but firmly, "If I remember correctly, our divorce procedures are finalized."Charles maintained a good attitude, "Let's talk, Renata."Alisha felt like an outsider. Despite her displeasure, she valued this endorsement opportunity greatly. So, she remained patient and obedient while she stood quietly by Charles's side. She waited for Mr. Chu to handle the situation for her.Renata wasn't having any of it. Now that she had Noah's strong backing, she didn't
