The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“You’re lying!’

Stefan’s eyes were as keen and shrewd as an eagle’s. He sneered at Ruby and added, “Didn’t you just tell me you’ve admired me for a long time?

Then how is it possible that you’ve never heard of my ex-wife’s name?’

“I…” Ruby was stunned, speechless. Being a veteran of the entertainment world, she was used to pulling words out of her *ss, and everyone would accept whatever she said without batting an eyelid. She never expected Stefan to be so perceptive that he could immediately catch the inconsistency in her speech. For a second, she was completely at a loss for what to do.

Then in a hasty bid to save face, she blurted, “What… What I meant was that I’ve never personally met Ms. Everheart, but of course, I’ve heard of her. After all, your CP ‘Hunt My Everheart’ is really popular online. Lots of people in the entertainment industry are fans of that site.”

“Because you admire me…” Stefan ruthlessly interjected, coldly staring at Ruby. “You must be jealous of her because of how close she is to me.

That’s why you targeted her from the start. You took that damaging photo of her with ulterior motives. You then led everyone to believe that she was the one to push Cecilia into the sea, am I correct?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

At that moment, Ruby was so flustered that her face was crimson red. Barely able to handle the mounting pressure, she only managed to stammer, “No! That’s not true! I didn’t do that! I…”

Being the most sought-after celebrity, Ruby was no stranger to high society. She had been mingling with the upper echelons of the professional world, yet this was her first time being rendered completely at a loss.

Perhaps it was because Stefan had such an intimidating aura. His eyes could seemingly penetrate all manner of lies or deception, and now, all her hidden cards were laid bare for him to see!

“Did you really think that just by eliminating Renee, you’d easily take her place and get what you want?”

Stefan’s freezing gaze was full of disdain. He sniggered and added, “Even without Renee, a cunning and calculative woman like you would never catch my eye, so stop wasting your time and effort.”

All these years, there had been such a continuous flow of women trying to latch onto him that he lost count. There was, at this point, no trickery in this world that he had not seen.

Ruby Chisholm was indeed pretty, but her beauty in no way made up for her cutthroat ambitious nature. There was just too much greed in her eyes. She was not pure enough.

But to be fair to her, all of the women who threw themselves at him had too much greed in their eyes. All of them except Renee.

There were no ulterior motives, no greed in Renee’s crystal clear eyes. They were as pure and innocent as a baby’s…

That was the main reason why Renee had a special place in Stefan’s heart.

Ruby watched as Stefan coldly walked away from her. She clenched her fists and bitterly yelled, ‘I never knew that you could be so cocky, Mr. Hunt!”

His vicious words had been a huge slap in her face, filling her with shame and humiliation. She was the queen of the movie industry, after all. She had been used to everyone admiring her and showering her with praises. Never in her life had she been treated so brutally!

“I had indeed been admiring you,” she continued, “but you really are just so cocky and arrogant that you’re pushing everyone away. No wonder your first love dumped you! No wonder your ex-wife divorced you!”

Stefan stopped in his tracks. He never expected Ruby to have the audacity to poke at his sore spot.

“And your ex-wife might not be as innocent as you might think, Mr. Hunt. If she was, how could Miss Cecilia Smith and I both accuse her at the same time?”

She then sneered and added, “Think about it. Do you really think that it makes sense for Miss Smith to risk her own life just to slander a woman that means nothing to her?”

Stefan frowned deeply. Ruby’s questioning had really thrown him off balance.

Renee Everheart… Did you really push Cecilia? Why were you unwilling to explain yourself? Was it because you were ashamed
