The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1783
When the old woman went to get them water, Jeffrey turned to Renee worriedly. He had seen all kinds of dangerous animals in the sea like sharks and sea
snakes, but he had never been as frightened as he was now.
"Relax, I think she's a nice person. She's just poor, so this place looks a little primitive, but it's safer here." Renee tried to console the two teenagers, but wasn't so sure herself. She believed that the old woman meant no harm, but the house was very strange. She kept feeling like a ghost might emerge from one of the rooms at any moment.
The old woman carried a pot of water and a few cups into the hall. "I'm sorry, nobody's visited me in years, so it took me a while to find some cups. I'm sure you all are thirsty-have some water." The old woman poured water for them, looking happy to have guests.
Renee took the cup of water and hesitated briefly before boldly downing the whole cup. However, Jeffrey and Daisy were more cautious, and didn't drink it because they were worried there might be something in the water.
The old woman noticed their refusal to drink, but still smiled at them warmly. "You three are good people. Although you're afraid of me, you're still willing to come in and talk to me. Thank you very much."
"Madam, don't say that. We've troubled you." Renee fished out some money and jewelry, then stuffed them into the old woman's calloused hands. "I'm sorry for imposing on you like this, Madam. Please take this, it's only fair."
"No, I can't. I already have one foot in the grave, so I'm just thankful to have you all here. Take it back!" The old woman tried to give the money back to Renee. "I'm old, so I don't need any money."
"Just take it. We won't feel comfortable staying here if you don't," Renee insisted, giving the money back to the old woman.
Daisy chimed in, "Madam, just keep it since she wants you to have it. She's rich, so this bit of money isn't much for her."
"Yeah, I'm rich. Just keep it." Smiling, Renee agreed.
"Oh... Alright then." The woman finally accepted the money and sighed wistfully. "Rich people like you are the ones that are truly kind. I bumped into a rich couple many years ago, and they always came to visit me. This village developed well back then because of that couple's support."
The woman's tone was casual, but Renee realized that this information could be important. She straightened and asked, "Madam, do you remember what they looked like? Why did they come to this small island?"
"Yes, I do. They were very charming. The man looked like a businessman, and the woman looked like a rich young lady... They kept a low profile every time they came, and asked me not to let others know when they were around. I'm not sure why they came though. Maybe it was for business ... or maybe they just came here to relax." The old woman shook her head, looking thoughtful. "But they liaised with George Garcia every time they came, and they also gave him a lot of money. Sometimes I feel that George might have owed them too much, which was why his family was..." The old woman trailed off, looking sad.
"Who is George Garcia? What happened to his family?" Renee asked eagerly.
