Chapter 675
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
After hearing Chaseâs words, Renee became even more confident of her suspicions. She quickly pulled her two children aside and warned them,â Close your eyes first. Wait until I confirm that thereâs nothing inside there thatâs inappropriate for children, and you can open your eyes.â
Then, Renee turned to Mr. Q and said, âYou donât have to open the door. Iâm not interested in your perverted things. As long as you admit before my children that youâre a bad guy and promise to stay away from them in the future, thatâs enough.â
Renee had considered many things and was worried that the pervert would attack indiscriminately if he were exposed, so she planned to take her children away before figuring out how to save whoever was inside the room.
Mr. Q ignored her and ordered Chase again, âI said to open the door. Didnât you hear me?â
âUmâ¦â
Even though Chase was visibly unhappy, he didnât dare disobey a direct order from his boss. He pulled out the key and opened the door.
âWatch out!â Renee stepped back instinctively with her two children.
However, there was no movement inside the room for a long time.
âDonât hide anymore. Youâve been clamoring to come out, so come on out and let Miss Everheart see how âbadâ our boss really is,â Chase said, calling out into the room.
The lighting inside the room was poor, and it was impossible to see what was happening. Still, there was no movement even after Chase had spoken.
Then, Mr. Q spoke in a cold and threatening tone, âCome out!â
Only then did a woman cautiously appear.
The woman was dressed plainly, and her hair was messy. She was thin, and her sunken eye sockets made her look like a skeleton. However, she was much more presentable than Renee had imagined.
âW-who⦠are you?â
Renee felt that the woman was a little familiar.
âYou can leave now if you want, but donât come crying to us for help when you have nowhere to go!â
Chase said as he glared at the woman angrily, feeling both pity and fury at her.
âI remember now! Youâre that con artist I met before!â Renee exclaimed, pointing at the woman as the realization struck her.
The woman looked at Renee and then lowered her head. Choking back tears, she said, âIâm sorry, Mr.
Q. I was wrong. Thank you for giving me a chance to turn my life around. I thought about it and decided to continue staying in this room. I donât want to leave!â
Seeing the woman about to return to the small dark room, Renee quickly stopped her and said, âThis guy must have threatened you, so youâre afraid to resist, right? Donât be scared. Iâll help you! Iâll make sure he faces legal consequences for his crimes!â
Since things have reached this point, Renee naturally wouldnât give up on the chance to expose Mr. Qâs true colors.
âLegal consequences?â
The woman looked up with an incredulous expression.
âMr. Q is such a good person! How could he have committed any crimes? If not for him, I would have died long ago, and my son would have starved to death. It was my fault for stealing from his pawnshop, but he didnât punish me. In fact, he saved me!â
âWhat?!â Renee looked at the woman in disbelief. She reached out to grasp her shoulders as if trying to give her strength. âI told you, you donât have to be afraid. Heâs a bad person, and I need you to come forward to expose him. Otherwise, who knows what heâd do to my children!â
âBut Mr. Q really isnât a bad person. Although there are a lot of ugly rumors out there about him, they remain nothing but rumors! Those hypocrites tried to slander him⦠Donât believe a word they say!â
âBut if heâs so good, why did he lock you up in this small, dark room? Are you a masochist?!â
