The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Haze looked at Renee casually with his hands in his pockets and said pointedly, “What a coincidence. You’re here too, Mrs. CEO’s wife. A wonderful show is about to begin. Why don’t you stay for the show, seeing that you’re one of the main protagonists?”

Renee was not stupid. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Haze’s words.

It looked like his threat to expose her as Phoenix if she refused to work with him was not just an empty threat, but a real one!

Before Stefan transferred the law firm’s shares to her, her identity as Phoenix must remain a

secret!

“The famous Haze! I’ve long been an admirer of your skills. Could I perhaps have a quiet word with you?”

Although it looked doomed, Renee was unwilling to give up. She decided attempt a desperate Hail Mary.

You never know, Haze might take mercy on her plight and give her a chance.

“Of course.”

Haze’s long, narrow eyes shined with a glint of cunningness as he said with a smile, “Since the CEO’s wife personally requests it, who am I to refuse?”

Therefore, they both turned towards Stefan, who was standing between them.

The meaning was clear: Please step away for a moment.

Stefan’s already cold face was now covered in frost.

“You have five minutes.”

After telling Haze that with disdain, he walked into the CEO’s office without giving them a second glance. The cold air about him made him look like a walking iceberg, leaving a chill in

its wake.

As soon as Stefan was gone, Renee dragged Haze to a dark corner, grabbed his throat with her ng fingers, and fiercely pushed him against the wall. She said, “I warn you, you better not mess around. If you dare reveal my identity, I can’t promise I won’t break your neck!” (1)

Haze was not scared at all. In fact, his eyes were sparkling with excitement. “Who would have thought that the great Phoenix isn’t only good at coding, she’s great at fighting too. How talented. Now I want to work with you even more. Ah, what should I do?”

“Shut up!”

Renee was afraid someone might hear or see them, so she quickly covered his mouth with her hand and pressed closer to him.

Haze, who was still struggling a moment ago, suddenly stopped moving, becoming as obedient as a child. He swallowed hard.

Renee’s delicate little face was right in front of his. Her long black hair was as smooth as silk and gave off a subtle fragrance. It tugged at his heartstrings like the furry paw of a kitten.

Renee had also realized by now that that they were a bit too close to each other. She frowned and warned him, “Be careful of what you say. If you agree, nod once.”

Haze nodded obediently.

Renee removed the hand that was covering his mouth.

Haze raised his eyebrows and returned to his usual cynical demeanor. He told Renee, “I’ll give you one last chance to work with me to bring the Hunt family down. If you do, I’ll keep your secret for you. Otherwise…”

“There’s no otherwise!”

Renee proudly stated, “I, Renee Everheart, never take kindly to threats. I would only work with you if I wished to work with you.”

“If you really want to expose my secret, be my guest. But if you do that, from now on, you and I will become mortal enemies. I’ll make you pay for your ignorant actions!”

“So if you’re going down, you’ll bring me down with you?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

With a mocking look in his eyes, Haze joked, “Why do you still wish to protect Stefan even though he treats you so badly? When he finds out later that you’re the reason the H Group is in this predicament, do you think you’ll be able to leave this building alive?”

“You can do as you please!”

Renee did not want to waste any more time arguing with Haze. She was prepared to fall out

with Stefan.

en without Haze’s intervention, the trouble Elon Barnes caused earlier was already enough to make Stefan fall out with her.

At this point, it probably would not matter anymore, so whatever!

Haze walked into Stefan’s office. He was in there for more than ten minutes before he came

back out.

Renee was waiting outside, ready for the storm.

Haze’s thin lips curled into a smile. He said to Renee, “You can go in now. I’ve told him everything. If you need help, feel free to call me.”
