Chapter 1991

Author: Mizuki Sei
As expected, Joanne woke up after a while. Her head was bandaged, and she looked weak and pale. Renee was too afraid to let Quinton see her in case he might upset her. She gently opened the door and walked in, carrying a tray of fruits and smiling. "Joanne, what a coincidence to see you again so soon!"

Joanne looked past Renee to make sure she was alone, then glared at her coldly. "Is it? Didn't you cause this?"

"Umm…" Renee kept her head hung as she nudged the carpet with her foot awkwardly, too ashamed to face Joanne. "It's not what you think... You know how crazy my brother is, and you can't stop him when he goes mad. I didn't expect this to happen either."

Joanne imagined people tackling Quinton to the ground to stop him, and her body relaxed in amusement. However, she couldn't laugh in front of Renee, so she took a deep breath and whispered, "Where am I? Your brother… won't disturb me again, right?"

"Actually… this is my house," Renee confessed. "My brother also lives here."

    Renee couldn't understand it. "If it's not because of my crazy brother, what's your reason?" It seemed that the only thing in the whole manor that made Joanne uneasy was Quinton."I need to go back to my school to handle my affairs." A long sigh escaped Joanne. "Mr. Hunt got me that job, so I'm very thankful to him. It's like he's given me another chance, but I've let him down. After today's mess, I'm sure the parents will find fault with the principal, and I'm afraid it'll affect Mr. Hunt… that's why I want to go back to the school to settle it." Joanne felt like the only person in her life that truly cared for her was Stefan. He had rescued her so many times, but she hadn't repaid him for it. She didn't want to burden him either, so she wanted to resolve this issue even if she had to die."Oh, that's it…" Renee sighed in relief. "Don't worry. Just rest here; I'll help you settle it. Plus, don't feel like you owe Stefan something. You helped him back then, so he should help you sett

    "Yes, the school won't find fault with Mr. Hunt, but the parents aren't easy to pacify," Joanne added worriedly, "Lone Pine Elementary is an important school in this city, and its students come from either rich or noble families. Now, my class's parents know that I'm a teacher without any academic qualifications or experience, and that I have terrible scars all over me. They won't let it go. They'll demand an explanation, and then they'll find out that Mr. Hunt played a part in this. It'll affect Hunt Enterprise, and Mr. Hunt too.""Yes, you're right." Renee nodded in agreement. "Well, people are always afraid of what society says, and Hunt Enterprise has had quite a bad reputation lately. The news more or less affects the enterprise's stocks and sales." Renee wasn't worried because large companies like Hunt Enterprise usually had a Public Relations department to handle any bad news that could affect the company's image."So, you should know why I insist on going back. As the person

    The atmosphere immediately became tense."Okay, both of you stop talking." Renee became helpless and exhausted. She had finally persuaded Joanne to stop being stubborn, but once Quinton appeared… Well, everything returned to how it used to be."Get out!" Joanne picked up a pillow and flung it at Quinton fiercely, then jumped out of bed and hurried to the window. "If he doesn't leave, I'll jump!""Hey, stop! Let's talk things out!" Renee had to stop Quinton from approaching and prevent Joanne from doing anything stupid, and she couldn't do both at the same time. "Don't worry, I'll get him out of here. I promise I'll stop him from entering this place, and if he does, I won't stop you if you want to leave," Renee said to Joanne, then quickly walked to Quinton and grabbed his arm. "Go out. You're not welcome here.""I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I go?" Quinton demanded aggressively, not intending to leave. He sneered at Joanne, "It's been so many years. Is that all you got? Th

    When Renee had first reunited with Quinton, Margaret found Quinton a dangerous and extreme person. That was why Renee had to explain Quinton's past with Joanne to Margaret. Margaret had felt sorry for both of them when she heard their story, so she didn't mind talking to Joanne. "Leave it to me. I'll take good care of Ms. Garcia," Margaret promised. She had wanted to meet Joanne for a long time, and as a member of the Everheart family, she had always wanted to repay Joanne. Since Joanne was there, Margaret could finally take the opportunity to do it. After some contemplation, she entered the room where Joanne was. Meanwhile, Quinton was still angry that Renee had dragged him out of Joanne's room. He wanted to keep arguing with Joanne."Enough!" Rene finally yelled in frustration. "Quinton, can you stop making a scene and being so pretentious?""What did you say?" Quinton was shocked, and stared at Renee in disbelief. "What do you mean? Did you finally see my dark side and start ha

    "What background?" Renee dragged Quinton to the side and whispered, "How could you say that? Wasn't that child… yours?" As a woman and mother, she could empathize with Joanne. The man Joanne regarded as family and admired as a brother imprisoned her and took advantage of her. In the end, he even cruelly aborted their child… It would be devastating for any woman."Hmph! Did she tell you that?" Quinton's gaze darkened with anger as he tried to suppress his emotions."Stefan said that, so I guess Joanne must have told him about it," Renee answered honestly. She knew that was the main reason behind Quinton and Joanne's resentment towards each other, but she couldn't bring it up in front of Quinton because it was a sensitive topic. If she spoke about it, she might end up cursing him or beating him up, which would affect their relationship as siblings. There were all kinds of scumbags, but Quinton was the worst."That useless piece of trash!" Quinton clenched his fists, his hatred for Ste

    At first, Quinton could forget about his hatred though he had forced himself to do so, but now he felt it bubbling up again when it came to Joanne. Because he had suppressed those emotions for so long, he became even more extreme and cruel. He wanted to do the things he had always wanted to do. "This is my business, so stop meddling in it. After so many years of loving and hating each other, we've finally parted on good terms and stopped being a part of each other's life. I'm liking the way things are right now. If you go to him again, you'll get Stefan involved in my life again, and that won't be good for me." Angry, Renee glared at Quinton. "If you want to see me in pain again, go ahead and attack him. I'll probably get killed from protecting one of you, then maybe you two will learn to behave.""Calm down!" Quinton did not want to see Renee get hurt, and her teasing hurt him enough to make him regain his sanity. He hurriedly said, "I won't go to him if you don't want me to. I als

    Quinton gazed at Renee, sensing the sadness behind her smile. It broke his heart. "I'm sorry." Feeling guilty, Quinton apologized to Renee. "It's my fault for letting you recall those things, but don't worry. I won't find fault with Stefan or force you to pick sides." Although he never truly forgot about his hatred toward Stefan and dreamed of hacking him into pieces, he could suppress his feelings when he recalled how Renee suffered because of it. For now, he could only dream of making Stefan's life miserable."Thank you… I mean it." Renee's eyes were watery too. She knew how hard it was for Quinton to let go of his resentment for Stefan, and understood how he was compromising for her. Yes, he was a bad person, but he was trying hard to change for her sake. She hoped that he could one day become a truly nice person. "What's your plan now?" Renee asked Quinton curiously after she had calmed down. "I don't really know…" Quinton spread his hands, looking helpless. "You know how it i

    Quinton smiled bitterly. "Do you think it's suitable for me to approach anyone given my condition? I'll only hurt them if I get close. It's been so many years since we last met, but she would rather die than be near me. What do you think I can do?" "I know Joanne's actions made you feel hopeless, but both of you are too extreme. You both have serious issues you need to settle." Renee patiently comforted Quinton. "But you're a man. If you want to make things better, you can only start from yourself." "What can I do?" Quinton shook his head. "I told you—I have no love and don't know how to show love. All I ever do is harm others.""You don't have love, but I do. You don't know how to show love, but I do!" Renee smacked her chest and said confidently, "Honestly, I'm an experienced kiss-ass. Stefan was the only man I loved back then, and when I married him, I tried my best to please him for many years. However, his reaction was worse than Joanne's—he didn't take me seriously and even

We're too afraid to stop him. Please help us, madam.""The response from Stefan Hunt?" Sophia didn't pay attention to the relevant news and had no idea what it was

    Jovan looked away and snorted. "Stop daring me. It's useless. I won't let you go—at least, not now.""Then you're going to get me killed!" Renee became angry and anxious. Jovan must be crazy—there was no way to make him compromise! "I can't watch you get killed, so I can't let you go." Jovan coldly got up and exited the room.Renee watched silently as the door closed. A greater anxiety gripped her when she thought of the conflict between the Baldwin and Hunt families. She had to leave immediately, but she couldn't break free of the chain around her foot. There was no way to make Jovan compromise. She had no idea how to leave.While under great pressure, she noticed an iron art product on the bedside cabinet.A horrible idea dawned on her, but she had no idea if it would work. Jovan would probably be indifferent about it, and it might be useless. That, and she would have to pay a greater price. But she had no choice. "Forget it! I have to take this chance!" Renee took

    Jovan awkwardly tried to comfort Renee. However, his words sounded more hurtful and made her cry even louder. "This is all your fault!" Renee raised her head, then pointed at him while bawling loudly. "Did I ever anger you? Why did you frame me? What good did it bring you?""I…" Jovan's heart softened because of how pitiful she looked when she cried profusely. However, he was a pretentious man and would not show that he had gone easy on her. Instead, he tried to provoke her even more. "You can't change anything even if you cry loudly. Austin wants nothing but to kill you and your family now. If I were you, I wouldn't be in the mood to cry. I'll brace myself to manage a funeral for them."Renee was flabbergasted. She didn't expect him to be this inhuman. She was heartbroken, but he kept hurting her. She cried even more profusely."I'll keep on crying. Let me go if you can't take it. If you don't, I'll keep on crying until you can no longer take it!"She cried loudly as if she

    A major issue happened to two famous and great families. The entertainment channel and news channel kept reporting about it, let alone the financial channel.Jovan didn't have to turn to a specific channel when he turned on the TV. The screen was showing a scene related to the engagement ceremony."They…" Only then did Renee learn that while she was waiting in the makeup room for her turn to make an entrance, the atmosphere in the hall had turned very tense. Alexander and Francine argued and fought against Justin's parents in a way unsuited to their statuses. Everyone failed to wait until she made an entrance before she went missing. She saw how the situation gradually became worse. She also noticed Justin's disappointment in her and Austin's wrath. Austin finally couldn't control himself, and kidnapped Alexander and Francine. "The Hunt family has yet to make a statement about it. We also have no clue about Mr. Alexander Hunt and his wife's current circumstances. However, we

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b
