The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“Hah, you’ll be shocked when you find out!” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Xavier said proudly, “Do you know Petersville University? Cecy studied astrophysics there, their most difficult subject. When she presented her research paper, she was even awarded the first prize in the Starburst Competition!”

“Wow, you’re really an outstanding student, Cecy!”

The crowd cast adoring glances at Cecilia. It was not that their reaction was exaggerated, but in fact, it was because it was very rare for those who were born with a silver spoon to excel in academics, so an astrophysics top student was a feat to them.

Cecilia smiled lightly and said softly, “It’s not that I am good, it’s just that I happened to pick the topic that the judges liked.”

“Don’t be so humble. You should just admit it if you are good!”

Xavier put his hands into his pockets and looked at Renee pompously, and asked, “Do you know what astrophysics is? I guess a housewife like you, who never leaves the house without her husband, must have never heard of it.”

Renee laughed and shook the orange juice in her glass, ignoring his insult.

She looked at Cecilia and asked tentatively, “Is your award–winning paper “The King of the Dome of the Sky – On the ‘Love and Death‘ of the Solar Emissive Layer and the Troposphere“?”

The smile in Cecilia’s eyes disappeared and she looked at Renee with some surprise. “That’s the one. Could it be that you’ve read it and also studied astrophysics?”

“Hahaha, what a joke!” said Xavier disdainfully, “She’s a housewife who reads recipes. How could she possibly understand such an advanced academic paper?”

At this moment, Stefan, who had been silent, said nonchalantly, “Of course, she can read it.”

The crowd’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Stefan unhurriedly took a sip of wine and said expressionlessly, “Because she is one of the five anonymous judges of the Starburst Competition.”

“What?!”

They shouted in shock and their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Cecilia found it even more incredulous. “Could it be that you are the most mysterious judge of the MISSC contest?”

“It’s all in the past. There’s nothing to brag about.”

Renee smiled awkwardly while glancing at Stefan.

She had not revealed this hidden identity to the public, so how did this guy know about it?

“Coincidentally, my wife is also a top student who studied electromagnetic waves,” said Stefan while raising his eyebrows and smiling faintly, “Anyway, it is not much use, it is just that it’s always good to have more skills.”

Um…

this was being a bit of a humblebrag.

The crowd fell silent immediately.

“You are really impressive.”

Christopher looked at Renee with eyes full of admiration.

He knew that Stefan would not have simply married a useless woman.

Cecilia lowered her head, a little frustrated.

No matter where and when, she was always the best and the one in the limelight.

She was very proud of her identity as a top student, but in front of Renee, who was a judge, it was not worth mentioning.

Xavier had wanted to support Cecilia, but now he was making her look bad.

He frowned and thought for a while, and then said, “It’s not a big deal if you are only good at your study, but Cecy is an all–rounder, which is much better than you, a nerd. If you beat her in this category, I will kneel before you!”

Renee was speechless.

‘Hey, is he going to stop? Why must he keep pestering me?‘

Xavier acted like a kid and challenged Renee. “Do you dare to take out your phone?”
