Stefan's voice trembled as he pointed at Renee and Quinton. "You owe them an apology. Compared to everything they've been through, your apology means nothing!""I… I…"Francine stood frozen in place. The woman who had once been so proud and untouchable now looked like a child abandoned by the entire world. She was fragile and helpless.Alexander watched Francine silently. He had never seen her look so vulnerable before, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.He took a deep breath and walked up to Quinton before bowing deeply to him. "Child, I'm sorry. I failed to keep my wife at bay. Because of that, you suffered so much…""Your apology means nothing," Renee spoke coldly. "My brother and I don't want an apology. We want justice."Alexander froze. The Renee standing before him felt like a completely different pe
"Every year after that, I regularly gave that fisherman money. The amount of money meant nothing to a wealthy family, but to an ordinary household, it was enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives," Francine said calmly.Francine had always been strong-willed. Even now, she still didn't truly believe she had done something wrong."Hah. Do you think giving money makes it right? Do you actually think you did something good?"Renee's anger had already turned into disbelief. More than anything, she thought Francine was shameless. "How could someone as shameless as you exist in this world?""Shameless?"Francine's expression turned cold. She clenched her fists. "If I truly wanted to be cruel, he would have died long ago!""You think leaving me alive was some act of kindness?" Quinton roared. "Sometimes living is worse than dying! That's called being alive but wishing you weren't!"Quinton stepped forward. His eyes were filled with hatred."Do you know what ki
"That's because…"Francine's tears fell as her expression slowly turned fierce. Her eyes became filled with resentment and cruelty as she clenched her jaw. "Because I hated her. I hated that woman. Only by doing something like this could I truly get revenge on her without losing anything myself!""Why?" Alexander grabbed Francine's shoulder angrily. "Why did you hate her?"Francine looked up at her husband. Her eyes were filled with hatred. "You tell me. Why do you think I hated her? Who else in this world knows better than you why I hated her?""I-I don't know…"Under Francine's questioning, Alexander's eyes held both confusion and guilt. He slowly let go of her shoulders and stepped back."Exactly. Why is that? I want to know too." Renee's voice trembled. She stared at Alexander, who had lowered his head. "Mr. Hunt, do you really dare say that you knew nothing?""I-I'm not lying to you. I truly didn't know anything. I only found out about this today. I never thought she woul
Seeing Francine's obvious panic, Renee's cold smile widened. "What's wrong, Madam Francine? Do you know my brother?""I… I…"Francine avoided Renee's gaze. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.In Renee's memory, this former mother-in-law of hers, who was known as 'The First Lady of Beach City,' had always carried herself with her chin raised. She acted as if she was above everyone else. She had never once shown such a guilty demeanor. This only proved one thing. The suffering her brother had endured wasn't his paranoid imagination. Everything really was connected to the Hunt family."Brother?" Alexander, who stood to the side, looked Quinton up and down. His brows furrowed deeper. "You were married to Stef for so many years. How come I never knew you had a brother? Is he a distant relative of yours?""I'm not a distant relative. I'm her twin brother." Quinton's voice was firm and clear. It carried undeniable authority."W-What? Twin brother? I've never heard of this b
Renee's eyes gradually turned red. She leaned against Quinton's shoulder, and her voice trembled with emotion. "Quinton, I really don't know what to do anymore.""Then don't make a decision yet."Quinton gently patted her back. "We didn't come here today to force you to choose. I've already waited all these years. Waiting a little longer won't make a difference."Renee was about to say something when the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the living room.The two of them looked out the window at the same time.In the darkness, a black sedan slowly drove into the courtyard. The headlights illuminated the stone path in front of the house."They're back."Quinton's voice instantly turned cold.Renee subconsciously clenched her fists, and her heartbeat sped up.After spending the entire day waiting, Alexander and Francine had finally returned."Quinton."Renee instinctively grabbed Quinton's arm.A strange panic rose inside her. Although she had already mentally
Timothy smiled kindly and waved. "It's still early. Why would I rest? Your brother and I were having a great conversation.""There's nothing to talk about. My brother just says whatever comes to mind. He doesn't always think things through, so don't take his words seriously."Renee gave Asher a look.Worried about Timothy's health, Asher immediately cooperated and stepped forward to support him. "Sir, have you forgotten? It's time for your blood pressure medication. After that, you need to lie down and rest. You can come back and talk to them after you've rested enough.""Oh, right. I guess it is time for my medicine."Timothy rubbed his temples and sighed. "You two can stay here for a while. After I take my medicine and rest up, I'll come back and talk with you again."There was silence.Quinton stood there with little expression on his face. He neither agreed nor objected.At that moment, there was a storm of anger building inside him. If Renee had not been there, he might
Angelo Fairfax, a famous singer, became desperate as he gritted his teeth and complained, "I can't take it anymore! I've never met such a delicate star even though I debuted so many years ago. She joined a variety show in the countryside, but doesn't even want to drink the water at this place. She d
In the plastic surgery hospital."Where's everyone? Come out now!" A clear and overbearing voice rang out through the entire hospital.Leia clenched her fists tightly and walked towards the plastic surgery room where Quinton was previously. She said firmly, "I won't leave if you guys don't come out an
Adam was put in a dilemma but he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine. We'll resolve it. We'll build a new house now. I think it'll be done when we shoot the next season of Happy Days, so we'll invite you as a guest then."Xavier waved. "Alright, carry on with your work. I'm too busy to join a vari
Stefan sounded so practical that she had no way to argue."Cousin-in-law..." Helplessness overcame her. "You're so noble. You flirt with your cousin-in-law while claiming that you can't let her cheat on Jovan… How hypocritical.""That's different." Stefan loosened his tie, and his gaze was sharp as he
