"You can't think like that." Quinton rested his hands on Renee's shoulders, and said dotingly, "Just let me handle things like this. You have to lead a happy life with Adie and Abby. I'll earn money, get revenge, and revive our family.""I can't let you do everything, that would be selfish. We should do this together!" Renee said agitatedly, her eyes watery. She was too impulsive. She had only thought about her happiness and had forgotten about her responsibilities. To live a good life, she needed to take revenge and rebuild her family."I'm the one at fault here. I brought this up just when you made up your mind to leave, and it feels like I'm guilt-tripping you. Listen to me—just go live on the island with the kids and stay away from all of these conflicts. The further you are from this place, the less affected you'll be by that heartless man!" Quinton regretted bringing up their family honor. He was reluctant to part with her, but he felt like he had broken Renee's wings by forcin

Renee wasn't angry or surprised—she had expected that her friend might not come. After half an hour, almost all the customers in the dessert shop had left except for her. To anybody else, it looked like she was there for the free air-conditioning."Madam, you've been at the shop for more than two hours. Do you need any help?" A waiter came over and asked kindly."I'm waiting for someone." Renee looked up awkwardly and added, "Give me a taro tiramisu.""Umm... Okay." The waiter nodded hesitantly and left.Renee raised her brows, looking around. They couldn't kick her out as long as she kept ordering food. Renee took out her phone and texted her friend. "Aren't you coming? The waiter said I've been here for too long… But it's alright—I'm a shameless person. I'll wait for you." She sent the message, but didn't get a reply. Night was nearing, and the waiter kept glancing at Renee expectantly.Finally, the windchime at the door rang as the door opened, and someone walked in."Welc

Renee munched on a soft cake as she casually asked Joanne.The smile on Joanne's face froze, and her gaze turned icy. "Why are you asking?" "I'm just asking; I don't have any hidden agenda, I promise." Renee put two fingers together and said seriously. "I swear I'm just concerned about you as a friend. If I lie, let me be struck by lightning.""There you go again!" Joanne immediately frowned. "Stop saying such unlucky things!""What else can I do? I have to prove my innocence so you won't be so guarded around me." Renee shrugged and pouted."Fine, but just keep it to yourself." Joanne took a deep breath and confessed, "I've been working as a language teacher at an elementary school. Mr. Hunt helped me get the job. He even bought a three-bedroom house for me near the school. I spend the day with my students, and go home to watch dramas or scroll through my phone at night. It's calm and peaceful... It's the happiest I've been in years." Joanne felt like she had been reborn. She did

Renee sounded like she was exaggerating Quinton's good sides and ignoring his flaws, but what she said was the truth. The current Quinton was not as extreme and cruel as he used to be, which might have been because of the love Renee and the kids showed him. He had become a rational, gentle, and kind person, so Renee wanted to meet Joanne because she hoped to bring them together. Even if they didn't get together, she would be happy if they resolved the grudge between them. She knew that Quinton hadn't forgotten about Joanne, and she didn't forget him either; They were just waiting for a chance, which Renee shamelessly saw herself as."He stopped... hating Mr. Hunt?" Joanne's eyes widened in disbelief. She had grown up with Quinton and had witnessed the worst sides of him. How could a vengeful person like him let go of his hatred that easily?"Why would I lie to you?" Renee sounded firm. "Not only did he let go of his hatred, they've become acquaintances. But they aren't on the best of

Everyone's eagerness turned into disappointment.Leia frowned and glanced at Justin. "You're so stingy, Mr. Baldwin. You rarely get Renee gifts, but the one time you do, you get her a keyboard?"Xavier sighed and said mockingly, "I, for one, am relieved to see Mr. Baldwin's gift. Renee... I think you can wait a little longer if you want to get another man." He had always regarded Justin as Stefan's greatest rival in love, even more so than Jovan. Justin's family background was similar to Stefan's, and they both shared a love of programming. Their characters and tempers were alike too, and they almost seemed like soulmates. However, after seeing Justin's gift, Xavier felt that Stefan didn't have to worry."But the keyboard looks unusual… There must be a special meaning to it!" Quinton looked at the keyboard that Renee was holding approvingly.Renee unpacked the keyboard carefully, as if she was holding some kind of sacred treasure. "Ah, you all don't understand. That isn't a regul
