# Chapter 694: A Rough Diamond and the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 694 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife* — a chapter full of dreams, hidden dangers, and a showdown that none of us saw coming. Let’s step right into the story, shall we?
The air was filled with purpose and hope the moment Renee returned from the kindergarten. This was no ordinary afternoon for her — it was time to launch Jeffrey into a brand-new chapter of his life. She had already made many preparations for his grand debut in the entertainment industry, and now she was personally escorting him to Xavier’s company to make it happen.
When they arrived at Universal Entertainment, the receptionist politely took down their information, and Renee and Jeffrey were led to the reception room to wait for Xavier. Jeffrey, who had spent his life in a quiet village, had never truly experienced the dazzling, overwhelming buzz of the city. He was amazed by everything he laid his eyes on — the towering buildings, the glass windows, the polished floors, the confident people passing by. But the more he saw, the more a nagging feeling crept into his heart. Could he really belong to such a world?
Standing in front of the large French window, Jeffrey stared at his own reflection in the glass. He studied his sun-kissed, tanned skin, his messy hair, and his simple, unsophisticated image. Doubt clouded his face. “Renee, can I really do this?” he asked dejectedly, his voice laced with insecurity.
Renee stood up and walked over to him, then gently patted his shoulders. Looking at him with kind, doting eyes — as if he were her own child — she said reassuringly, “Yeah, it’ll be fine. Your look is very rare in the current entertainment circle, and I’m sure it’ll win you lots of fans.”
She knew exactly what she was doing. The entertainment industry right now was flooded with handsome celebrities — too delicate, too polished, all cut from the same flawless but soulless mold. They were nice to look at, sure, but they were like painted statues. There was nothing unique about them, no depth, no magnetic pull. But Jeffrey? He was different. Standing there in his natural simplicity, he looked like a handsome prince from the countryside — a man who carried stories in his eyes and scars in his heart. Renee believed that with the right support and the right backing, Jeffrey had a bright future ahead of him.
But Jeffrey could not see himself the way Renee did. He could not see his own potential. He stood there wringing his hands nervously, overwhelmed by a sea of self-doubt. “But I don’t know anything about all this. I’m not handsome enough and have no fashion sense at all...”
“That’s not a big deal. In fact, that is what’s attractive about you!” Renee said patiently, determined to comfort him. She looked straight into his eyes, willing him to absorb her confidence. “You have to believe that you’re unique. You have something ordinary stars don’t have, and you’ll go far as long as you stay this way.”
Her warmth slowly soothed his frayed nerves. Jeffrey finally relaxed a little, his tense shoulders loosening. He nodded slowly, his eyes growing resolute. “Don’t worry, Renee. I’ll work hard and won’t let you down.”
Then came the waiting. Seconds stretched into minutes as the two of them sat in that reception room. Xavier, unfortunately, was in the middle of an important meeting and would not be able to see them for a while. Renee settled in, ready to be patient. But fate, as always, had other plans.
The door of the reception room suddenly opened, and in walked a woman whose presence was far from neutral — Shirley. She scanned the room slowly, her gaze landing on Jeffrey with obvious curiosity. A mocking smile curled upon her lips as she sized him up from head to toe.
“Ms. Everheart,” she said with feigned sweetness, “I heard that you wanted to introduce a novice to Xavier, so I came to check him out. Is this boy... the novice you talked about?”
Renee frowned immediately. She did not even try to mask her displeasure. “What does it have to do with you?” she sneered coldly.
Shirley gave a fake smile and raised her hands innocently. “Don’t get me wrong, I came here with good intentions.” Then she turned her sharp, probing gaze toward Jeffrey. “What’s your name? What do you know? Have you ever performed before? What’s your relationship with Ms. Everheart?”
One question after another rained down like arrows. It was an interrogation — no warmth, no welcome, just cold scrutiny from a woman who had no right to ask anything. Jeffrey’s confidence, which Renee had just carefully rebuilt, crumbled in an instant. His lips parted, but the words got tangled in his throat. “I... I...” he stammered, shrinking under her ruthless stare.
Renee noticed everything. Her body moved instinctively, stepping in front of Jeffrey as if she were shielding her own child from danger. She glared at Shirley without a trace of politeness. “All of that is none of your business. Xavier is the one in charge of Universal Entertainment, and I’ll only talk to him.” Then, with a razor-sharp bite, she added, “You should be thinking of how to improve your own career before you start thinking about others.”
Those words hit Shirley hard. A flash of humiliation and anger colored her cheeks crimson, but she forced herself to hold back. Instead, she straightened her posture, swallowed her pride, and served Renee a strained, oily smile. “How dare you!” her eyes seemed to say, but her mouth had different plans. “Well, that’s actually why I’m here,” Shirley continued, her voice syrupy and carefully controlled. “I want to see if we can form a win-win situation.”
Renee narrowed her eyes, studying her warily. She did not trust Shirley — not for one second. “What do you mean?”
Shirley clasped her hands elegantly and gave a little laugh. “Although I’ve been partially suspended by Universal Entertainment, I’m still their best actress. If there’s a chance, I would like to work with this boy. At the very least, I can help build his career.”
The offer hung in the air like a calm surface hiding a dangerous undercurrent. It sounded generous. It sounded helpful. But Renee knew better than anyone that Shirley never did anything out of the kindness of her heart. There had to be something behind that sweet mask... something far more dangerous than she was letting on.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a gripping chapter! There was such a beautiful contrast here — Renee’s tender, protective side toward Jeffrey truly tugged at my heart, while Shirley’s sudden appearance brought an icy chill of tension into the story. The emotional shift from hope to insecurity to confrontation was so real and vivid. I loved seeing Renee stand her ground like a shield for Jeffrey, but I also felt so worried for him. He is so innocent in this ruthless industry, and Shirley’s “win-win” offer reeks of hidden motives. The chapter left me on edge, wanting so badly to know what happens next.
⭐ Wait, wait — the suspense is killing me! I would give this chapter **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**!

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Shirley’s offer is absolutely not what it seems. I believe that the moment Xavier finally appears, a fierce battle will break out between his trust in Renee and his previous ties to Shirley. Shirley will likely try to twist Renee’s intentions, plant seeds of suspicion, or even use Jeffrey as a pawn to regain her lost standing in Universal Entertainment. Meanwhile, Jeffrey’s true talent might catch Xavier’s attention — but that will only make Shirley more desperate. Get ready, because the next chapter is bound to bring a storm!
