INICIAR SESIÓN"Make sure justice is done?" Quinton asked with a scoff.When Quinton heard what Timothy said earlier, he felt mixed emotions.By all accounts, he should have been touched. After living this long, there were only a handful of people in the world who would protect him like this.But when he thought about it carefully, the whole thing felt deeply ironic.How could the person who had caused the harm say he wanted to stand up for the victim?"Of course."Timothy had no idea where the anger and resentment in Quinton's eyes came from. All he knew was that Quinton must have suffered a lot, and his heart truly ached for Quinton."In my eyes, you're just like Ren. You're both the grandchildren of someone I once knew, and you're no different from my own grandchildren. Back then, when Maurice was on his deathbed, he entrusted Ren to me. I promised him that even if it cost me my own life, I would protect Ren. If it were you, I would've done the same."When people reached the twilight of th
Meanwhile, the conversation between Quinton and Timothy turned out to be surprisingly cordial.Quinton had originally intended to confront Timothy about the truth surrounding his family history, but after talking for a while, he realized Timothy genuinely knew nothing about any of it.Timothy's curiosity, concern, and affection toward the grandson of an old friend were sincere. Without realizing it, Quinton lowered his guard."Come here. I'll show you some photos of Maurice, your grandfather, and me, as well as our comrades during the war."Timothy leaned on his cane and slowly shuffled across the study. He opened the most treasured drawer in the room and carefully removed an old-fashioned photo album. Page by page, he flipped through it.Ever since retiring from Hunt Enterprise, Timothy had developed few hobbies. He spent most of his days in the study, reading books, admiring paintings, and looking through these yellowed photos. They allowed him to revisit a past that was gone bu
"So that's what it was."After hearing Stefan's confession, Renee felt like a puppet with its strings cut. The strength drained out of her. She lowered the fruit knife and sank onto the couch in silence."I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you, but I didn't want you to suffer or be forced into an impossible situation either."Stefan's eyes held more sorrow and helplessness than anyone should have to bear. The weight of it had nearly crushed him.He no longer knew how to save either himself or Renee from the vortex that had swallowed them both.Renee let out a bitter laugh."So you were afraid I'd get hurt, and your solution was to hurt me in an even crueler way? Am I supposed to be touched or angry?"She lifted her head. Her eyes were just as full of sadness. The tears glistening there refused to fall and were being held back by sheer stubbornness.As the one seeking justice, she refused to shed another tear for the man in front of her."Yeah. I was an idiot. I chose the worst
Stefan looked at Renee as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he said nothing and shook his head instead. "Nothing much.""Nothing much? Then why are you acting like the victim when my brother is the real victim?"Renee clenched her fists. The same anger Quinton had carried for years now surged through her as well."Because all of this means you and I can never be together. Doesn't that make me a victim too?" Stefan asked solemnly.Renee fell silent.She was stunned for a moment. That wasn't the answer she had expected.On the surface, it made sense, and yet it didn't.Something about what he said felt incomplete. It was as if he were still hiding something."Do you really think that's the only reason you feel this way?" Renee asked before clenching her fists.She wanted to dig deeper and uncover what he was truly thinking, but it didn't matter anymore, especially not with the relationship they had now."Am I wrong? Do you think we can go back to the way we were? Could yo
With Stefan vouching for them, Quinton and Timothy headed upstairs to the study together.In the massive living room, aside from the two maids stationed there, only Renee and Stefan remained.Stefan waved them off. "You two can go.""Yes, Master Hunt."The maids nodded respectfully and left the living room.The already spacious, luxurious living room felt even emptier. The ancient Gremorian paintings and crystal chandelier only added to the atmosphere. Beautiful as it was, the place felt like a gilded cage.Renee's gaze turned cold. She casually picked up a fruit knife from the table and spun it in her hand. "Do you really think I won't use this on you?"Stefan walked over and sat beside her as if nothing were wrong. His expression remained calm."I almost wish you would. Then maybe this unfinished story between us could finally come to an end."A surge of anger rose in Renee's chest. She pressed the knife directly against his throat."Don't test my patience. I'm not as heart
The atmosphere instantly became tense.It turned out that a relationship didn't truly break apart during screaming matches or violent confrontations. Sometimes, it could happen in completely calm moments like this.They were only a few feet away from each other, but it felt as if they were a thousand miles apart.As Renee's twin brother, Quinton could sense exactly what she was feeling. His chest felt tight. If he was this miserable, he could only imagine how much worse it was for her.This wasn't what he wanted. It wasn't what he'd hoped to see. If possible, he would rather they lay everything out in the open, let go of their hatred, and find their way back to each other.That seemed impossible right now. They had chosen their respective sides and were drifting farther apart with every step."Since Mr. Hunt and Madam Francine won't be back until tonight at the earliest, why don't I keep Timothy company for a while? As for you two, maybe spend some time talking."Quinton spread
A plump boy kept jumping on the beach, trying to catch some fish but failing to get any. "This isn't fun at all!" The plump boy named Tubby grabbed the fishing tools and threw them onto the sand angrily. He grabbed his father's hand and wailed. "Why can't our family catch any fish? What are you both
"It doesn't matter!" Renee said firmly, "I don't know about others, but Jeffrey is pure and humble. He isn't greedy either, so he won't go down the wrong path." Renee just wanted to explain that Jeffrey was different, but somehow, all her words sounded like criticisms of Shirley.Shirley quietly clen
Stefan instantly froze. His whole body grew tense, and his mind raced to figure out what he should say to her.Unexpectedly, Renee just turned around and muttered something before she dozed off again."She's still drunk—she doesn't know it's you," Jamie said solemnly.Stefan rolled his eyes and bent d
Stefan stood there with a towel tied around his waist, water droplets running down his attractive figure."Ahem!" Renee instinctively wanted to cover her eyes, but couldn't look away from his exposed body. "You've taken good care of your body. Which gym do you go to? Send me the contact later.""I can
