Chapter 5 Everything Was a Conspiracy

After speaking, Renee closed her eyes, silently asking Zarek to leave. Zarek stood next to her without speaking. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Can I help you?" Help? What could he do as a stranger? When Renee thought of Irina and Nevin discussing how to ruin her family and the absurd night with Zarek, she felt extremely guilty. She even wanted to kill herself! "Mr. Macleod, I don't want to say anything now. I don't need your help either. I want to be alone for a while now. Please leave." Seeing her resolute attitude, Zarek couldn't stay here any longer. He stood quietly in front of Renee's bed for a long time and finally strode away. The sound of the door being closed was very harsh. Renee saw him leave and took a long breath. Perhaps he really cared about her, but so what? They are parallel lines with nothing to do with each other. If it weren't for she had been stimulated last night, she wouldn't have slept with him. The early morning sunlight spilled in the ward, and Renee heard the sound of the door being opened again in a daze. She squinted, and Nevin's gloomy face appeared in her blurred vision. She was completely frightened, and anger immediately surged into her mind. "NEVIN!" She gritted her teeth and stood up without hesitation, reaching out her fist to hit him, but Nevin was a man, after all. He easily dodged her attack. Then, he suppressed her and gave her a hard push. She fell back onto the bed, and the pain of her body went right to her bones. "Renee, this is your retribution!" Nevin shouted in anger, and pride appeared in his eyes. Renee took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Have you been with Irina long ago and plotting against the assets of my family with her?" "How can you call it a 'plot'? Doesn't Irina belong to your family?" Nevin's words showed arrogance, and his eyes were filled with malice. "Irina was right. Your mother is a bitch, and her mother died because of her! You are so loose, too. If Irina hadn't told me the truth, I would be afraid of being deceived by you, a malicious witch!" Nevin's words left Renee stunned. Conrad married Gemma back then because his first wife had already passed away in a car accident. However, how could Nevin say that Irina's mother died because of Gemma? "Bullshit!" Renee was completely angry. She stood up and was about to push Nevin away, but Nevin slapped her face! "Don't forget, all your assets are mine now, and your mother, I forgot to tell you. She had a mental breakdown. The doctor said she has mental health problems and needs treatment, haha!" Nevin's crazy voice kept circling in her ear, and Renee trembled all over. However, she knew Nevin was right. Now that all her assets were his, she had no other choice but to bear the humiliation. "Nevin, if you feel angry, vent it on me. Gemma is innocent. Can you let her go?" She looked at the man who had a three-year marriage with her and felt very unfamiliar to him for the first time. Nevin remained unmoved. He even forcefully kicked her when she touched his sleeve. "I was so kind, you know? I even sent your mother to a mental hospital. Renee, blame no others but yourself for being cheap!" Finishing speaking, he sneered and turned around to leave. Renee immediately got anxious. She stumbled to grab Nevin but missed her footing and fell heavily to the ground. The doctors seemed to hear the noise and immediately surrounded her. Zarek held a cigarette and flicked it lightly on the glass ashtray, making a few crisp sounds. Suddenly, there were several respectful knocking sounds at the door. It was his assistant, Morton Stewart. "Mr. Macleod, here is the information you need." "Renee had divorced her husband that day because he got involved with her half-sister, who seemed to be even pregnant." "Gemma is Conrad's second wife, and Irina is Renee's elder sister. Yesterday morning, Irina and Nevin transferred all the assets of the Johnston family. Besides, Nevin also sent some photos to Conrad. Then, Conrad had a heart attack and passed away." "Those photos?" Zarek's eyes were cold. He put out the cigarette, feeling angry. But what surprised him the most was that during three years of marriage, Nevin didn't even sleep with Renee. Nevin was really ridiculous! Taking a deep breath, Zarek made a phone call and ordered, "Bring the cured cat back." How dare Nevin bully his girl so cruelly! He would definitely make him pay double the price! After injecting glucose, Renee immediately left the hospital. Since the agreement came into effect, the Johnston family was completely the property of Irina and Nevin. Even Renee's cards had been frozen. She couldn't afford to pay for her treatment. After leaving the hospital, she immediately went to the funeral home and watched her father's body cremated. She wanted to call her mother, but no one was answering. She had to store Conrad's ashes at the funeral home and went to find her mother. The villa of the Johnston family had been sealed to become an auction item for the bank. Renee walked alone and aimlessly on the street, like a walking corpse. She didn't know where she was going, let alone what was going on ahead. "Renee, you haven't recovered from your injury yet. Why are you strolling on the street?" A shrill female voice suddenly appeared, and Renee lifted her eyes to see Irina. Irina was wearing high-end maternity clothes and carrying her bag. She chuckled, "I heard you were beaten and hospitalized by your mother. I was about to go to the hospital to visit you, but I couldn't find you, so I went to the funeral home. The staff there said you went to this street." Irina's words made Renee nauseous. She didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she turned around and left. However, the next second, she was pulled back.
