# Chapter 687: The Truth Comes Out
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 687 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter brimming with tension, surprise, and a moment of raw, heartfelt vulnerability that no one saw coming.
Let’s settle in, because this chapter takes us from playful deception to a stunning revelation that could change everything between two bitter old rivals.
---
Renee knew that look in her brother’s eyes. Quinton was not going to back down. Not today, not ever. When he set his mind to something, he was as stubborn as a mountain—and right now, that mountain was determined to interrogate the mysterious “helper” Renee had mentioned so casually on the phone.
She could have lied. She could have made up excuses. But Renee had learned long ago that Quinton could smell a half-truth from a mile away. So, with a deep breath and a heart hammering against her ribs, she braced herself and went to fetch Stefan.
“Okay, wait. I’ll call him over and ask him to call you later.”
She hung up the phone, her mind already spinning with half-baked plans and desperate ideas. Stefan was in the study, patiently helping the children with their schoolwork. When he heard Renee’s voice calling him upstairs, he came at once, a playful grin already tugging at his lips.
“What’s the matter, master?” Stefan asked teasingly, that familiar glint in his eye.
Renee rolled her eyes, though a blush crept up her cheeks. “Stop messing around. It’s serious,” she grumbled, crossing her arms. “I was on the phone with my brother, and I told him that I found a good helper. But he thinks you have ulterior motives—which, honestly, is not entirely wrong—and now he wants to interrogate you. So, you’ve got to talk to him nicely when you call him later. Don’t expose yourself, okay?”
Stefan’s expression shifted. The playful teasing faded, replaced by a thoughtful frown.
“Why do you want to keep me a secret?” he asked quietly, genuinely puzzled.
Renee let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through her hair. “It’s just better to avoid trouble. I told him long ago that I would cut myself off from you—completely. And I’ve already broken that promise. Forget about my brother being disappointed in me… I’m disappointed in myself!”
Her voice cracked slightly. She had always prided herself on being a woman of her word, someone who stuck to her principles no matter what. But when it came to Stefan, every rule she had ever set for herself seemed to shatter like glass. He had a way of slipping past every wall she built—and she hated how much she didn’t truly hate it.
Stefan tilted his head, studying her with soft, knowing eyes. “I’m sure he can recognize my voice. How can I not expose myself?”
Renee’s eyes suddenly sparkled with mischief. A wicked little smile spread across her lips. “Well, you can try to talk in a feminine voice. I’m sure he won’t be able to tell… It’s perfect since you’re a ‘helper’ too.”
She meant it as a joke—mostly. But deep down, a naughty part of her desperately wanted to hear this tall, brooding, powerful man squeak out a high-pitched voice just to fool her brother. The mental image alone was enough to make her want to laugh.
To her absolute shock, Stefan simply raised an eyebrow and said, “Okay.”
No protest. No argument. No indignant refusal. Just… okay.
Renee blinked, unsure she had heard correctly. But before she could react, Stefan had already taken her phone from her hand and pressed the call button. Her heart nearly stopped.
“Hello. You’re the new helper my sister hired?” Quinton’s voice came through, stern and imposing, clearly trying to intimidate whoever was on the other end.
“Yes.” Stefan’s voice was calm, deep, and completely normal. Then, without a hint of hesitation, he added, “I’m Stefan.”
Renee’s jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide as saucers. She gestured wildly at him, mouthing *What are you doing?!* but Stefan ignored her completely, his expression unreadable.
Quinton was silent for a moment, stunned into disbelief. “What… who… are you?” he finally stammered, his authoritative tone crumbling into shock.
Renee wanted to crawl into a hole. She grabbed Stefan’s arm, hissing in a frantic whisper, “Stefan, what… what are you doing? Didn’t I ask you to use a different voice? You…”
But Stefan didn’t flinch. He held the phone steady, his gaze fixed on Renee with a quiet, unshakable resolve. Then, in a voice that carried both sincerity and steel, he spoke directly into the phone—and directly into the heart of the matter.
“Ren is now my responsibility. Our goals are the same regardless of our past feud—we both want to protect Ren and make her happy. So… I hope you won’t meddle too much in this.”
The words hung in the air like a solemn vow. He wasn’t threatening Quinton. He wasn’t demanding anything. He was simply stating a truth that came from deep within his soul. Whatever history existed between the Hunt family and himself, whatever wounds still festered between him and Quinton, one thing mattered more: Renee’s wellbeing.
For a long, tense moment, silence stretched across the line. Renee could barely breathe. She had expected anger, accusations, maybe even a shouting match. Instead, there was only stillness.
Then, Quinton’s voice returned—cold, biting, but tinged with something almost vulnerable. “Are you serious this time?”
That question carried the weight of years. It wasn’t just an interrogation. It was a plea. A desperate, wary plea from a brother who had watched his sister suffer too many times at the hands of this very man. He needed to know if this was real, or if it was just another cruel game.
Stefan’s hand tightened slightly around the phone. He glanced at Renee—at the tension in her shoulders, the worry in her eyes, the way she bit her lip, waiting for the verdict. And in that moment, he answered with absolute honesty.
“I have never been more serious about anything in my life.”

What a chapter, my dear listeners. There is something breathtaking about a man—proud and unyielding—willing to lay down his pride, expose his identity, and face his past just to hold onto the woman he loves. Stefan’s confession wasn’t loud, but it was mighty. And Quinton’s quiet question showed that, perhaps, even the most wary hearts are willing to hope again.
Renee, caught between her brother and the man who once broke her heart, finds herself in the most delicate of balances. And now, the ball is in Quinton’s court.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
I have to admit, I was holding my breath the entire scene. Stefan’s decision to reveal himself instead of hiding—despite Renee’s pleas—felt incredibly bold and deeply romantic. There’s something so powerful about a man refusing to pretend, refusing to hide in the shadows, and declaring his intentions to the one person who has every right to distrust him. Renee’s mischievous suggestion of a feminine voice added a touch of lightness that made the emotional whiplash even more impactful. And Quinton’s final question—“Are you serious this time?”—gave me chills. This chapter was emotionally rich, beautifully written, and left me desperate for more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Will Quinton actually give Stefan a chance, or will years of resentment prove too strong? I predict that Quinton will demand proof of Stefan’s sincerity—perhaps a meeting face-to-face or a series of tests that could either make or break this fragile new alliance. Meanwhile, Renee will have to confront her own feelings as her two most important men reluctantly come together. And with Renee already overwhelmed by her current plans, one wrong step could send everything spiraling into chaos. Expect intense confrontations, raw emotions, and maybe a glimmer of reconciliation… or the beginning of a new war.
