# Chapter 135: The Mask, the Mirror, and a Daring Plan
Hello, everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today, I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 135 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife." This chapter is like a quiet meal that slowly turns into a battlefield—where old wounds, hidden grudges, and clever feminine schemes all simmer beneath the surface. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s dive into the story together.

Renee had to admit it: Quinton was being petty. There was really no other way to describe it. The man sat across from her with that unreadable expression he always wore, and although he hadn't said much, his meaning was crystal clear. He was still holding on to his resentment, still nursing that old fire of anger deep inside him.
And yet, even in his cold mood, he accepted the food she gave him without protest. Then, almost as if to prove he wasn't entirely heartless, he served her some food as well, his voice cutting through the awkward silence with a sneer.
"Renee, this is fresh. Eat more so you'll get smarter."
It was such a Quinton thing to say. Sarcastic, sharp-tempered, yet somehow wrapped in a strange sense of care. Renee couldn't help but roll her eyes internally. Still, she kept her voice warm as she replied, "Thank you, Quinton. This is nice too. You'll earn more money when you're not so petty."
She meant it as a playful jab, but the weight of the problem between them was far too heavy for simple jokes. Renee had a goal, and to achieve it, she needed Quinton's cooperation. The trouble was that Quinton was not an easy man to convince.
Later, when she stepped aside with Leia, the conversation took a more serious turn.
Leia was thoughtful as she voiced her observations. "Renee, I think Quinton's grudge against Stefan isn't because of the fight, but rather his ruined face. Think about it—everyone likes pretty things. He used to be so handsome, but now his face is scarred, and he has to wear a mask all the time. It's something he'll have to see every time he looks in the mirror. Won't that make his hatred for Stefan grow deeper and deeper?"
Renee blinked, letting the words sink in. It made terrible sense. She had been focused on the battle between the two men, the original conflict that had left Quinton bearing such deep emotional scars. But Leia was pointing at something much more visceral—the damage Quinton had to face every single day, the visible wound that would never let him forget what Stefan had done.
"So," Leia said eagerly, her eyes brightening with a new idea, "I suggest we start at the cause—let's try to heal his face. What do you think?"
Renee hesitated. "We could, but..."
But it wasn't that simple. Quinton was stubborn, proud, and deeply wounded. If she approached him directly, he would likely refuse just out of spite. He was the type of man who would struggle to accept help from anyone he considered a friend of his enemies. Renee knew this all too well.
"Of course," she muttered, half to herself, "he'll refuse if I ask him to help his buddy's enemy. I'm sure he'll agree if you ask him though."
Leia's eyes went wide, and she stepped back instinctively. "What?"
Renee turned to her friend with a pleading expression, her voice softening into something almost playful. "Leia, I know you're dating him. Let's go. He'll definitely agree to it if you use your charms!"
Leia's cheeks flushed as she smoothed her hair awkwardly. "I... I'm not close to him at all! If you fail to persuade him, surely I will too!"
"Stop pretending," Renee said, smiling hopefully. "I know you're dating him. He'll agree if you ask. Please, Lei, you're the only one who can help me."
Leia opened her mouth to argue, but the look in Renee's eyes stopped her. This wasn't just a casual favor. Renee really needed this. Leia sighed in defeat and finally relented. "Fine, let's go."
"Yes! I knew you were my favorite person." Renee grinned, batting her eyelashes playfully.
Leia shook her head, still blushing. "Stop that! I'll come with you, but you're doing the talking."
"It's fine," Renee said mischievously. "I just need you to stand there and look pretty."
With that, the two women made their way toward the president's office on the top floor.
But while they followed their plan, the world above them was already tangled in its own complicated web. At that moment, Xavier was in a meeting. For years, his company had been focused entirely on promoting Shirley. Every dollar, every ounce of energy, every resource had been handed over to her. It had been a gamble—one that wasn't paying off. The returns were less than promising, and the company had suffered some serious losses along the way.
Because Shirley was backed by Xavier, the company and its partners could only suffer in silence. No one dared to speak out. No one dared to question the man at the top. The resentment was building quietly, waiting for a spark.
Renee and Leia walked through those doors with their own goal in mind, unaware that they were stepping straight into the center of a storm that had been brewing for a long, long time.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this was such a layered chapter! On the surface, it seemed like a simple conversation between friends, but underneath it was all strategy and emotion. Leia's observation about Quinton's face was heartbreakingly sharp—it completely reframed his anger in a human way. It’s not just about what happened in the past; it’s about what he sees in the mirror every single day. That kind of wound doesn't heal easily.
I also loved the banter between Renee and Leia. It felt warm and genuine, a reminder that even in the middle of complicated plots, friendship is Renee’s greatest weapon. And that cliffhanger ending with Xavier and Shirley... oh, that's a ticking time bomb! I honestly didn't want the chapter to end.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I think the next chapter is going to explode the moment Renee and Leia step into Xavier's office. Renee will likely try to make a deal, but she’ll find herself face-to-face with the company's hidden chaos—and maybe even with Shirley’s strong influence. Meanwhile, Quinton might discover that Leia is going behind his back, which could either soften his heart or make him even more stubborn. Either way, someone is about to make a dangerous move, and I can't wait to see who blinks first!
