Big Novel

The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 316
"Who dares to make such a bold suggestion?" Austin slammed his fist on the table and scowled at the waiter. "Fine, ask them to
come in. It's been a while since a person this bold appeared in the Baldwin's family territory!"
Renee glanced at the door and was instantly curious about this mysterious person. After all, the Baldwin family was the most
powerful family in Sutton, but this person dared to disrespect them, so they had to be someone powerful too.
The door to the banquet hall opened and an elegant woman strolled in. She was wearing an expensive-looking silk dress and
carrying a fancy Hermes handbag.
"It’s been a while, Uncle Baldwin. I missed you so much that I came all the way from Beach City to see you. I hope you can grant
me the pleasure of dining with you." Under everyone's surprised gazes, the woman placed her ten-million-dollar Hermes bag on
the table and sat down at the table casually.
This elegant yet arrogant woman was none other than Renee’s ex-mother-in -law, Francine.
After processing this strange situation, Renee blurted out, "Mom- Miss Milford, what are you doing here? This is Sutton!"
She was actually implying that this was the Baldwin family's territory, not Beach City. The Baldwin family and the Hunt family
hated each other... Did this woman have a death wish?
"Oh my god!" Francine turned to Renee, looking shocked. "Renee, my darling daughter-in-law, it's been ages! What a
coincidence! Why are you here? What did you call me earlier? Can you call me that again?"
Renee was speechless and thought to herself, ‘Didn't we just meet yesterday? And also, are we even that close?’
Sophia was the most furious among everyone at the table. She stood up, pointed at the door, and growled, "Francine, don't talk
nonsense! The whole world knows your son divorced Renee. She's my future daughter-in- law now! Leave this place - you're not
welcome here!"
Francine, however, didn't back down. She slowly poured herself a glass of red wine and swirled her glass as she smiled sweetly.
"Sophia, why are you so tense? We’ve been best friends since we were little. We used to have the same taste in things, from
small things like flowers and dolls to bigger things like jewelry... and men."

"Francine, shut your mouth!” Sophia’s face had darkened and her hand was reaching for the wine bottle. It seemed like she was
ready to fight Francine.
Francine had been doted on by her family when she was a kid, novelxo and even as an adult, her husband and son loved her
and doted on her. She had become a blissfully ignorant woman because of this, and she continued bluntly, "Back then, both of
us were in love with Stefan's father. Since I was older, I wanted to let you have him, but he fell in love with me and insisted on
marrying me. So, I married him, and it's been 20 years since I last saw you."
"Francine, that's enough. Aren't you ashamed to talk about all this in front of the youngsters?" Sophia clenched her fists and said
through gritted teeth.
If she wasn't trying to maintain her good image in front of Renee, she would have gladly fought Francine!
"What is there to be ashamed about? We fought because of Stefan's father, and your husband knows it too. It’s all in the past, so
there’s nothing to be ashamed about."
After Francine was done speaking, she clinked glasses with Renee and laughed. "You see, daughter-in-law? I was young once
too. My love life back then was far more interesting than whatever is happening in this generation."
