The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 201
“What? She killed herself?”
Renee received the call on the way to the court. She was shocked.
Zack was sitting next to her. Seeing her reaction, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
“The court said Briar committed suicide early this morning. Her remains have been sent to the crematorium.”
“That’s impossible!”
Zack said confidently, “Briar is a suspect in a court case and the case hasn’t reached a verdict yet. Even if she really did kill
herself, according to the law, her corpse can only be dealt with after the legal investigation period is over. There’s no way the
corpse would be cremated this quickly, unless...”
“Unless someone wants to destroy the corpse to hide evidence or to substitute it with another person!”
“That’s right!”
Zack had handled a lot of criminal cases and had encountered all kinds of bizarre situations before. It was not the first time he
had encountered a situation where the suspect suddenly “committed suicide” right before a trial.
Renee thought hard about it and instantly understood everything.
“Hah, I knew it! So that’s why Stefan was willing to let Margaret go yesterday. This is what he had planned.”
“Honestly, this kind of trick is so lame. Instead of looking for a good lawyer to defend her in court, he chose to use his power to
put himself above the law instead. What a coward!”
For the first time, Renee was looking down on Stefan.
She could not believe he would actually come up with an idea like faking death in order to protect that bitch, Briar Desrosiers. He
had abandoned all dignity. Renee felt ashamed for him!
“Don’t be mad, boss. The old boss‘ power and background are simply too strong. From the judge to the police, everyone have to
show him some respect.”

Zack shrugged helplessly and said: “However, if you want to continue pressing charges, I can still get you the win. Do you still
need it?”
Renee thought for a moment, then shook her head, “No, there’s no need!”
She had only made such a big deal out of the situation to make Briar suffer.
Now, Briar had been forced to fake her death to get out of her predicament. From now on, she could only use another identity to
live in disgrace. It was enough payback.
As long as she behaved herself from now on and stop messing with Renee, Renee would not drive her into a dead end.
After all, they were both mothers. Even if the mother was guilty, the child was innocent. Renee was not so ruthless that she
would let the child suffer too!
“Understood. You have such a big heart, boss. You’re like Mother Teresa born again. Working for a kind boss like you, our law
firm’s employees will surely have an easy life until our retirement!”
Zack took the chance to lick Renee’s boots.
Although he hated Renee in the beginning. Renee had made him her underling now. He absolutely admired her!
“In your dreams!”
Renee glared at Zack and said, “You haven’t done any work yet and you’re already thinking of retirement? I’m not the H Group.
I’m the evil demoness Renee Everheart, and I’m gonna squeeze all your value out of you!”
Zack laughed helplessly. “Yeah, I noticed. Boss, you’re even more difficult to deal with than the old boss. We might not even help
the old boss do things if he paid us money, but we would do things for you even if you don’t pay us! That’s charisma!”
Renee felt like throwing up.
Zack’s boot–licking was really something else!
“Anyway, back to business. The matter I discussed with you before, can it be done?”
Renee asked Zack with a serious expression.

Zack instantly became serious too. “Boss, you have such a big appetite. A case that involves a multinational enterprise like that
is usually really tough.”
“Of course I know it’s tough. That’s why all I asked for in my divorce was the Hunts and Co. Law Firm. More precisely, I wanted
you three gold–standard lawyers.”
“You said it yourself, THREE gold–standard lawyers. John and I might be willing to give it a try for your sake, but Sandra hasn’t
said anything yet.”
Zack continued. “I’m good at criminal cases while John is good at administrative cases. As for civil and commercial cases...
Sandra’s one of the best in the world. But you haven’t even met with her yet. Are you sure you can convince her?”
Renee raised her eyebrows. “Sandra and I are both women. I’m sure she’ll support me.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure!”
Zack told her a piece of gossip, “I heard Sandra and the old boss are abnormally close. Sandra has helped the H Group settle a
lot of business disputes over the years. Now that the Hunts and Co. Law Firm has changed hands, she’ll very likely leave the law
firm to become the H Group’s legal advisor. If that happens... who knows, maybe you’ll end up getting devoured alive by
the H Group instead!”
“She won’t do that!”
Renee declared confidently.
Zack did not understand why Renee felt so confident, but a confident woman was so charismatic!
“Actually... I received a text from Sandra last night. She’ll be arriving in Beach City from Calley today. Why don’t you meet up
with her?”
Renee’s eyes instantly brightened. “Good idea!”
