Semua Bab The Untouchable Ex-Wife: Bab 1231 - Bab 1240

Stefan knew that he could no longer keep the incident a secret. He stared at Renee, his gaze contemplative. "What do you think of Quinton?" He asked finally.Renee thought about it for a while, then said objectively, "I know that Quinton did a lot of crazy things. He isn't a good guy, but he's not an evil villain either. He usually made extreme choices because he was forced to—he just wanted to survive. Carmine Pawnshop only made it because they had to resort to a lot of illegal things, but these were usually done in the open sea which was under no one's jurisdiction. Hence, the police couldn't do anything about it.""Well, you certainly know how to find excuses for him. I suppose that since you can empathise with a villain, you're probably hiding your own dark side," Stefan said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow lazily.Renee was speechless for a while, then sneered, "Yes, my brother and I are villains with dark sides, but you're not so good yourself either, Mr. Hunt. You tricked a

After Renee left Hunt Enterprise, she wandered around for a long time on the street before returning to Carmine Pawnshop.When Margaret saw her, she was filled with both joy and worry. "Miss Ren, you're finally home! Please comfort Mr. Everheart… he's in a very bad mood." During the few days that Renee was away, many things happened to Carmine Pawnshop. Quinton, who was usually rather spirited, suddenly became strangely downcast. He locked himself in his room and neither spoke nor smiled, refusing to have any contact with anyone."Really? What a coincidence—I'm in a bad mood too. He's not the only victim in the world." Renee scoffed, sounding rather aloof and reproachful. As Quinton's sister, she felt that she did have to help him resolve this bitterness and hatred inside him, but when she thought of what he did to Joanne… She understood why they called him a demon. He was like a stranger to her now, and it made her heart ache.Margaret looked at Renee in surprise and asked worr

Quinton immediately panicked when he saw Renee's teary face, and grabbed her shoulders. "Renee, are you okay? Do you hate me for restoring this place? Stop crying. I'll make a call now and ask them to demolish it, and we can rebuild it the way you like. What do you think?" With a shake of her head, Renee wiped away her tears and hugged Quinton. "No, you did such a good job that I thought we had travelled back in time. It looks exactly like the Everheart Manor I grew up in. I'm only crying because I'm touched and recalled a lot of my childhood memories. How nice it would be if you weren't kidnapped back then and you grew up with me..."Renee confessed her inner thoughts to Quinton. She was indeed very touched; only family members could give one this kind of feeling. However, when she thought of how Quinton had done those cruel things, she felt conflicted."Silly girl, we can't change the past, but we have control over the present and future. We should live in the moment." Quinton pa

Renee's eyes grew wide as she retorted, "So, you want me to take your side? Does it mean that I can't stop you even if you want to kill people? That I have to allow you to take innocent lives?" "Isn't that what you should do?" Quinton grabbed Renee's shoulders, his eyes wild. "We're siblings with the same blood running in us. You're me, and I'm you; we're in the same boat. All I want to do is revive the Everheart family and take revenge for our deceased parents. Shouldn't you support me?" "I don't mind you wanting to revive the Everheart family, but there needs to be a limit. If we don't have principles, we'll be just like those villains who destroyed our parents. Such a bloodstained path of revenge would never make our parents happy if they knew.""Well, what do you want me to do then?" Quinton punched the balcony hard, and his knuckles started to bleed. "Are you aware of my past? If I was bound by limits, I would be long dead by now. I was able to crawl out of that demonic abyss

Renee was curious when she heard someone walking up the stairs. When she saw the newcomer's face, she gaped slightly in surprise. "Haze, what... are you doing here?"She hadn't seen him ever since they had said goodbye back then. Now, she was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say."It's been a long time, Phoenix." Haze smiled at her, dressed casually as usual. With both hands in his pockets, he looked like the very picture of nonchalance. "I've been thinking about you and watching you from afar."Renee got goosebumps hearing that, and stuck her tongue out at him. "That sounds creepy, you know? People might think you're a stalker who's been having a crush on me for years." Quinton glared at Renee and scolded, "Renee, don't be rude. Mr. Baldwin is our important comrade. His family is very powerful and influential, and they're the only family that can fight against the Hunt family. If we want to defeat the Hunt family, we need the Baldwin family's support. Also, he's the reason I g
