The Untouchable Ex-Wife

In a way, Stefan wasn't being unyielding.

Rather, he felt that he was a scumbag who deserved his punishment.

He had repeatedly harmed Renee and his children.

Everything was his fault.

Though his conscience tormented him, he was incapable of self-harm.

Timothy's punishment was just what he wanted.

It helped ease his guilt.

Renee watched from nearby, the heavy sound of Timothy's beatings ringing in her ears.

At first, she wanted to feign ignorance and refused to meddle.

However, the severity of the punishment was such that a terrible accident would happen if it continued.

Unable to sit still, she tried to stop Timothy.

"Grandpa, please, stop! If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!" Seeing Renee's solemn expression, Timothy suppressed his anger and stopped.

He asked confusedly, "Ren, I'm doing this for you.

Why are you speaking up for him? Don't tell me...

You still can't forget about him? Do you still love him?" "No, that's not the reason," Renee replied, shaking her head.

She didn't bother looking at Stefan, and her tone was aloof.

"I don't feel sorry for him at all, nor am I still in love with him.

I stopped you because of the kids.

I don't want them to have a disabled father.

If you keep hitting him, you'll ruin his right hand.

He won't be able to function well.

In the future, his condition might be a burden to Adie and Abby.

I have to stop you." "Oh, I see..." Timothy awkwardly wiped away the sweat on his forehead, rather embarrassed about the misunderstanding. Timothy felt quite awkward for Stefan as well.

The woman he loved couldn't care less about him.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

That might just be the greatest punishment for him; anguish born from indifference.

"Don't worry.

I'll never be a burden to them.

If you don't trust me, I can sign a contract to relieve them of the responsibility," Stefan retorted.

His poker face was unreadable, but the iciness in his tone was evident.

Stefan was no emotionless robot, and Renee's heartless words had affected him somewhat.

Upset, he decided to give up everything and challenge Timothy's patience.

"Grandpa, your punishment is nothing.

It's plain childish.

Go on, show me what a Hunt is truly like," he taunted.

"What...

Yet now, Stefan was openly taunting him.

He couldn't accept it.

"Fearless, aren't you?" he roared.

."Fine, then! Show me just how tough you can be! I'll break your hands, and

I might even get you killed Let's just end things that way! The good days are over!" He swung the heavy ruler, bringing it down Stefan's back and legs with all his strength.

He showed no mercy for Stefan.

"Stop! Can't you two act your age?" Renee cried.

She didn't know what to say-her interference had worsened the situation even more.

She felt helpless.

Both Timothy and Stefan were much

too stubborn and they insisted outdoingleach other

Anxious, Renee flung herself toward Stefan and hugged him without any hesitation.

Timothy's blow landed on her instead...
