The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2107

Liam wasn't surprised that the incident had reached Benjamin so quickly.

"You know that woman. She's a very good friend of mine in Beach City," he said calmly.

"Of course I know her!" Benjamin snorted. "She was the first who could escape from me. Plus, she took away that rebel Joanne. I haven't settled this with her yet, but I didn't expect her to be bold enough to come to my territory again."

"She came to attend my wedding with Gem. If you're offended, I'll make her leave right away." Liam finally looked agitated, worried Benjamin might do anything to Renee.

He had experienced many outrageous things while staying at the fort, and had developed a different mindset. Before, he might have been a straightforward and bright person. He believed that the world was a wonderful place.

Lately, all he saw was crimes, indifference, and cruelty. If it was possible, he wanted to see the world end. No one expected that he wished the world would be a peaceful place.

He had become one with the people he spent his time with. After staying in this environment for a long time, he became unkind and was unscrupulous enough to achieve his goal.

He thought that his heart had turned cold and emotionless until Renee reappeared. When he saw her get hurt and was roasted over the fire, his heart broke. He wanted to slaughter everyone, including Benjamin.

'Don't drive her away just yet. Isn't she the woman you care about the most?" Benjamin looked at Liam sarcastically. "You met your old lover again. Shouldn't you pour your heart out for her? Can you bear to see her go?

"It's boring if you say that, Mr. Jenkins. Romance isn't the only thing between men and women. My relationship with her isn't as what you guys imagine," Liam said. He was standing against Benjamin for the first time, ignoring the consequences.

As the one involved, he knew very well what kind of relationship he had with Renee. Benjamin's words were humiliating, and Liam couldn't allow anyone to humiliate her.

"Did I hear you wrong? You're arguing with me for a woman?" Benjamin's face turned cold as he abruptly got to his feet.

He fished out a whip that he always had with him, and swung it at Liam. The whip instantly circled Liam's neck. Then, he pressed Liam harshly on the tea table.

"If you want to rebel, you should see if the time is right. You've been acting obediently for so long, but you want to rebel now? Do you think you can break away from my control?" he snarled.

"Ugh...!" Caught by the whip, Liam couldn't breathe. His face flushed, and he couldn't speak.

"I should've beaten you up and killed you back then. It's a pity I couldn't because my silly daughter cared so much about you," Benjamin went on.

He tightened the whip around Liam's neck, his eyes gleaming cruelly.

"I kept you with me and made you do all those dirty and inhumane things to turn you as ruthless as me. Then, you can take my place. I thought I did a good job-but your true colors resurfaced when that woman reappeared. You're still the same rich spoiled brat who only thinks of romance. I fucking wasted my time!"

"Ack...ugh!" Liam's flushed face had turned purple-he was dying.

He had exhausted himself to break free, but failed. His current situation was no different.

Perhaps he had been too naive. To Benjamin, his existence was trivial. It would be a piece of cake for Benjamin to kill him.
