Semua Bab The Untouchable Ex-Wife: Bab 2781 - Bab 2790

Quinton stood by the door and looked like a detached bystander. When Timothy suddenly called for him, he looked surprised.After hesitating for a moment, he walked over to Timothy's bed."Did you call for me? Do you need something?"His tone was polite but distant.Although he and Timothy had spoken privately before, Quinton never really felt a close bond with the old man.The only reason he had come here, stayed outside the hospital room, and now stood at Timothy's bedside was because of Renee.He knew how much Renee cared about Stefan. Although Timothy was part of the Hunt family, to Renee, he was no different from her own grandfather.In a way, that made him Quinton's grandfather as well. Timothy filled the void of a grandfather-grandson bond Quinton had never experienced growing up."Quinton, I've wronged you. Out of everyone, you're the one who suffered the most. I don't know what I can possibly do to atone for my sins."Timothy's eyes were bleak and filled with helplessn

The atmosphere instantly felt tense.For the first time in years, Renee and Timothy found themselves standing on opposite sides.To outsiders, it sounded like nothing more than an ordinary disagreement, but to Timothy, every word cut like a knife.The Ren he remembered had been so gentle, so vulnerable, and so lovable. He had truly treasured her like his own granddaughter.She had been so thoughtful, too. Whenever she had free time, she would visit him, bring him gifts, and tell jokes to make him laugh.No matter what he asked of her, she always agreed. Whenever she asked him for anything, he did everything in his power to grant it.Many times, Timothy had felt that the two of them were the ones who truly shared the bond of a grandfather and granddaughter.Never had he imagined that one day they would stand on opposing sides.He felt ashamed. It was the Hunt family that had separated Renee from Quinton. The Hunt family had forced Quinton to endure a lifetime of suffering. Eve

Quinton's words instantly silenced the room. Shock appeared on everyone's faces.But after the initial surprise, it made sense. For someone with overwhelming evidence against him to be released without charges, the only reasonable explanation was that the victim had chosen to withdraw the charges and settle.They should have realized it sooner. The only reason Stefan had walked free was because Quinton wanted him to.Even so, Renee still couldn't accept it."Quinton, do you even know what you're saying? Do you realize what you've done?!"She stared at him in disbelief. Her eyes filled with confusion.He had hated the Hunt family more than anyone. He had wanted to defeat Stefan more than anyone. He had even been prepared to sever ties with her, insisting she choose between him and Stefan.Now, she had finally made her choice. She had finally found a way to make the Hunt family, and Stefan, pay a heavy price. Yet her own brother had chosen to settle?She couldn't understand it. S

Stefan looked calm. In fact, when he heard Quinton say there would still be a price to pay, he actually felt relieved.It wasn't just Renee who refused to let this end so easily. He himself wanted the matter resolved properly.Otherwise, just when he thought he was finally repaying what he owed the Everheart family, he would only end up owing them something even greater. The distance between him and Renee would only continue to grow."Tell me."Stefan's eyes were resolute. It was as if he was fully prepared to walk straight into hell. "My family owes the Everheart family. So whatever price you demand, I won't object.""Come on. Don't be so serious. It won't cost you your life!"Quinton patted Stefan on the shoulder. Seeing the once-arrogant, untouchable master of the Hunt family standing there like an obedient child was oddly amusing.Perhaps only at a time like this would the seemingly invincible Stefan experience genuine fear.Quinton knew very well that Stefan wasn't afrai

A week later, Timothy's condition stabilized, and he was discharged from the hospital.Renee quietly hid in a corner outside his ward. Only after confirming that Timothy was truly out of danger did she finally leave with peace of mind.When she returned to Everheart Manor, Quinton and Joanne were helping the children with arts and crafts. The scene looked harmonious.While Renee had been occupied with work and entangled in her unresolved relationship with Stefan, leaving her little time for the children, Quinton and Joanne had naturally taken on the roles of 'Dad' and 'Mom.' At first glance, the four of them looked more like a real family."Mommy's home!"Abby was the first to notice Renee standing at the doorway of the playroom. Proudly holding up a handcrafted castle, she beamed."Mommy, look! Uncle Quinton and Aunt Joanne helped me and Adie make our Home of Love. Isn't it beautiful?"The miniature castle was exquisitely crafted. It was a nearly one-to-one replica of Everheart
