The Untouchable Ex-Wife

The man’s clothes were plain and he was wearing a face mask. He was patiently wiping the leaves of a plant on the desk, making sure each leaf was spotless clean.

Hearing Renee’s voice, he gently raised his eyes and looked over curiously. “The new boss of Hunts & Co. Law Firm, I presume? The poor woman about to be abandoned by Stefan Hunt?”

Rence felt a little awkward. She cleared her throat softly and said, “The second part was

unnecessary.”

The man put down the spray bottle and took off his mask. His middle-age face looked kind and gentle, exactly as the information said.

From the information Liam sent her, Renee knew that the Hunts & Co. Law Firm had three

two men and a woman partners

and this John Wayne was one of them. (1)

–

Among the three partners, John Wayne was the oldest and the most experienced. He looked like he would be easy to get along with, but he was actually the most cunning one.

John said, “I’m curious. We haven’t met before and I’m dressed like this, so how did you recognize me?”

“It’s simple.”

Renee told him honestly, “Being your new boss, I’ve looked into all of you. I know that John Wayne is a plant lover. An ordinary cleaner wouldn’t have made sure every leaf was spotless

clean.”

“Hah. Interesting.”

John stared at Renee, the interest in his eyes growing stronger. He smiled and said, “Lass, if you’ve really looked into us, you would know that we’re a difficult bunch to deal with. If you’re smart, you should stay away from us.”

“What can I say? I’ve always loved a challenge.”

Renee’s voice was passionate and her eyes sparkled with excitement. She looked bright and tenacious, like a determined young leopard who would not give in.

After all, in her veins flowed the blood of General Maurice Everheart. Her indomitable

personality was engraved into her genes!

Stefan Hunt couldn’t do it in three years. You really think you can change us?”

“I don’t need three years. I’ll do it in three days!” Renee proclaimed with confidence.

“I commend your courage, young woman. Good luck,” John said meaningfully and left.

The Hunts & Co. Law Firm was indeed like a hot potato.

The three partners being absent more often than not was not the only problem. The lawyers working under them were all tough nuts to crack too. None of them took their new boss

seriously.

The only one who was respectful to her was a trainee lawyer called Warrick.

It was time for the morning meeting but there was still not a lawyer to be seen in the spacious

office.

Warrick cautiously told Renee, who was sitting at the conference table, “Boss, Mr. Rosenwell said there’s a match today, so he gathered everyone in preparation for the live stream this evening, so… so he said he wouldn’t be coming to the office today.”

“A match?”

Renee raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you talking about the LCL Season 7 Spring Split Grand Finals?”

“Warrick’s eyes widened in surprise, “How do you know, boss? Do

you follow e-sports too?””

After all, LCL was a niche game that had a steep learning curve. Only true game enthusiasts pay Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

attention to it.

How could a wealthy housewife like his new boss know about it?

Renee’s lips curled into a faint smile. She only said, “Okay, tell Mr. Rosenwell and the others to enjoy the match. I’ll treat them to some snacks to this evening.”

At 9:00 pm, the LCL Spring Split Grand Finals reached its climax, with Team Raging Storm from Aeos trailing Team Victory from Varangia 1:2.

The club was crowded. At the last second, Team Raging Storm managed to turn the tables and wipe out Team Victory, winning the championship. The place erupted in cheers.

“World Champion! Well done, Team Raging Storm!”

Renee suddenly arrived with champagne and sashimi.

Zack Rosenwell was cheering fanatically.

Among the three partners of the law firm, he was the youngest, but his professional skills were very highly-regarded in the industry, and that gave rise to his arrogance.

How arrogant was he? He would not even give Stefan the time of day, let alone Renee.

“Team Raging Storm won the championship! We have to celebrate. I brought champagne and sashimi for everyone.”

Renee stood in the center of the club and addressed everyone there enthusiastically,

Zack sneered. “As if you know anything about Team Raging Storm. Have you even played the game before?”

Renee smiled. “Not only do I know about Team Raging Storm, we’re actually old friends.”

“Yeah, right. Why don’t you try coming up with a more convincing lie?”

“If I manage to invite Team Raging Storm to the club, can you promise me one thing?” Renee’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
