The Untouchable Ex-Wife



"It's my honor, Ms. Everheart." Stefan was expressionless as he shook Renee's hand, equally formal.

Everyone was speechless. It was so obvious they were pretending to be unaffected.

Justin's heart clenched when he saw them holding hands, but he forced a wide smile onto his face. He walked over and held Renee's shoulders as he said to her soothingly, "Relax, it's just a game. I'll protect you later."

Renee seemed to realize something and immediately let go of Stefan's hand. She looked up at Justin and smiled sweetly, saying in an unusually coy voice. "You promise? I'll hide behind you later, okay?"

He was no longer as self-conscious as before, and looked confident and optimistic like any young man his age.

Renee was happy to hear it. She felt that her decision to help Jeffrey join the entertainment circle was a good one. 'Is that so? Do you have muscles? Show me your abs," she joked and lifted his shirt. She saw muscles on his abdomen that came with nice lines.

'Do you like them, Renee? You can touch them if you want to," Jeffrey invited enthusiastically. It might sound cheesy if any other man said it, but Jeffrey had no impure motives. He simply wanted to make Renee happy.

Stefan and Justin followed them with matching annoyed expressions, and said at the same time, 'Pretentious brat!"
