The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“Atchoo! Atchoo!”

Renee sneezed several times as she arrived at a crowded restaurant, so much so that her ears were burning up.

“That’s weird. I swear I’m not sick anymore, but why am I still sneezing so much?” Renee sniffed, wondering if she should take some Tylenol later.

“Maybe someone is talking behind your back!” Leia Osborne said as she handed Renee a copy of ‘BC News’. “Oh Ren, you’re in trouble! Your future ex-husband is out to get you. He’s even offered a hundred and fifty million as a reward!”

As Liam’s twin sister, Leia was also very close with Renee. However, she didn’t worship her like how her brother did. She was more like Renee’s best friend. Whenever the two got together, banter and hilarious memories would ensue.

Renee scanned through the newspapers and chuckled with disdain. “If he has the power to do this, he should think of how to mend that flawed business system instead! It’s been years, and yet their system is still as weak as ever. It really didn’t take much to hack into it.”

“You’re wild, Ren!” Leia said and gave her a thumbs up. “As you should be, though, honestly! After all, you’re the legendary hacker, the one and only Phoenix!”

“That ice block Stefan Hunt really wasted his handsome looks. He’s all beauty but no brains! How could he cheat on you?! You’ve been nothing but great! He even got his mistress pregnant. What a b*stard!”

“Why doesn’t he ever use his d*mn brain and realize how much you’ve helped him over the past few years!? If you hadn’t secretly stopped every attack on that broken system, it would’ve been hacked repeatedly… Ugh, he deserves everything that’s happening to him now. What an ungrateful jerk!”

Leia used to be their number-one fan. She hoped the two could fall in love with time, despite their arranged marriage, just like the ones shown in fiction. Instead, the plot in this love story took a turn, as the male lead brought his mistress and their illegitimate child into the house. From that moment on, Leia felt like her heart had sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

‘F*ck this sh*t!’ Leia thought, feeling as if she was angrier than Renee herself. She even contemplated barging into H Group and beating the man up.

Just then, a waiter walked over to their table, serving them a plate of nicely barbecued skewers, along with a few cans of beer. Leia immediately opened one of the cans and downed the entire thing as if it were just plain water.

On the other hand, Renee hesitated despite looking at the juicy, aromatic food in front of her. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“What’s wrong, Ren? You’re about to divorce, and you’re about to be free! Drink up! We have to get blackout drunk tonight to celebrate!”

Renee bit down on her lip and called out to one of the waiters. “Excuse me. I’d like a glass of orange juice and a plate of chicken salad.”

Pfft!

Leia was so shocked that she spat her beer out. Her mouth was left wide agape. “What the heck? You know you’re getting a divorce soon, right? Why are you still acting like a modest little lady? Do you not want any beer or skewers?”

“I… can’t today. If you know what I mean.” Renee replied, beating around the bush.

She didn’t intend to tell Leia about her pregnancy, nor anyone else, to be exact. She made an appointment at a private clinic last night and will be aborting her child in two days.

Even though she had decided, Renee didn’t understand why she was still worried that such unhealthy food would stunt the baby’s growth.

“Oh, I get it. You’re on your period.” Leia nodded and handed her a glass of warm water. “No worries, have some water instead. I’ll handle the alcohol.”

“Thanks, Lei.” Renee smiled warmly.

Thinking about it, the best thing she’s ever done in her entire life was saving Liam and Leia. They were now her most trusted confidants, and she considered both of them family by this point.

“Yo, if it isn’t the elegant, modest, reserved Mrs. Hunt herself?” A cocky voice suddenly came from behind the two women.
