Chapter 2089

Author: Mizuki Sei
When Renee noticed Lucas' growing trust in her, she started begging for mercy for Leia.

Unexpectedly, Lucas turned hostile and cunning.

"So, you said that much to me just because you wanted to beg for mercy for your friend. Were you talking nonsense?" he snapped.

"No, it was a sincere suggestion! I mean it! I wanted to help you make this company bigger and stronger." Renee swallowed, and added, "My friend and I are close. A normal person like me wouldn't want her to suffer so much."

"Yes,

    "I…"Quinton froze. He was suddenly at a loss for words.For the first time, he regretted being the person he used to be. Back then, hatred had consumed him so completely that he had unknowingly passed much of it on to Renee. Now she was standing exactly where he once stood. She was trapped in the same extreme mindset.Unfortunately, there was no undoing the past. He had to live with the consequences of his own actions."So what are you planning to do?"He knew there was no convincing Renee to let it go. If he couldn't stop her, then he would walk beside her.If she chose forgiveness, he would forgive.If she chose revenge, he would become her trusted accomplice."I want the Hunt family to pay the same price. I want them to know what it feels like to be separated from their own flesh and blood!"Renee clenched her fists."Separated from their own flesh and blood?"Quinton was curious what she meant by that.At present, the Hunt family line was fairly straightforward. There

    Seeing the look of disbelief on Renee's face, Quinton felt bad.To him, Stefan's family had always been enemies he could never forgive. But to Renee, they had once been family.Asking her to believe that her mother-in-law had destroyed her own biological family was unimaginably cruel."It's okay. You don't need to think about it anymore. It's all in the past. I've let it go. I only told you because I could see how much it hurt being kept in the dark. Just pretend you never heard any of this!"Unfortunately, comforting people had never been his strength. This clumsy attempt was the best he could manage."No! I can never let this go!" Renee exclaimed with tears in her eyes.The shock and disbelief in her eyes gradually faded and were replaced by acceptance. As she compared everything Quinton had told her against years of interactions with Francine and the rest of Stefan's family, pieces began falling into place. Questions that had haunted her for years suddenly had answers."I

    "W-What?"Renee froze. That came as a complete shock to her. Her mind went blank, and her body felt numb."You heard that right. Our mother and your ex-husband's father were once deeply in love!"Quinton snorted. He felt equal parts bitterness and resignation. "This was what I meant when I said fate played tricks on humans. Their relationship changed the entire course of my life. I've spent years trying not to hate them, but for a long time, I couldn't. At the same time, I know I can't keep hating them!"His clenched fists slowly loosened as he spoke. The rage that consumed him gradually gave way to acceptance.Renee was still reeling from the revelation. Her expression only grew more bewildered. "But how would their relationship affect your life? Are you saying the reason you were taken as a baby had something to do with that?""Jealousy can make a woman do terrible things. The reason I was taken traces back to your former mother-in-law."Quinton clenched his jaw. He was st

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2749

    Renee thought back to the way her parents had interacted with each other. Their relationship had always seemed harmonious. Her father adored her mother. He treated her like the most precious thing in the world, protecting and cherishing her in every way.Her mother seemed to love him too. She rarely argued with him and never made unreasonable demands.Their marriage reminded Renee of those old-fashioned arranged marriages between well-matched families. It wasn't passionate or dramatic, but there was mutual respect, companionship, and devotion.Still, something always felt missing, but she couldn't explain exactly what it was."From the way you're describing it, they weren't really in love at all. It sounds more like they were maintaining appearances and playing the role of a loving couple, doesn't it?"Quinton cut straight to the point.If that was true, then everything Stefan had told him made much more sense.His mother had already given her heart to someone she could never fo

    Quinton was silent for a long time before finally nodding.He knew that, given Renee's relentless curiosity, there was no way he could keep hiding the truth.Besides, as far as he was concerned, he and Renee shared a special bond. They had spent nine months together in their mother's womb. They were connected in a way no one else could understand. There shouldn't have been any barriers between them.Since Stefan had chosen to be completely honest with him, perhaps he had already accepted that this secret would no longer remain a secret."So what's the story behind this painting? Tell me already!"Renee's eyes sparkled with anticipation.She had expected her brother to eventually open up to her, but she never imagined he would give in so easily. It felt like she had suddenly uncovered a hidden treasure.In a way, when someone who had been kept in the dark for so long finally had access to the truth, wasn't that its own kind of treasure?"How much do you really know about Mom and

    Renee wasn't dumb. She could hear the hidden meaning behind Stefan's words about 'real damage' and Quinton's remark about fate playing tricks on people.Maybe they were talking about the same thing. Maybe both of them already knew the truth. She was the only one still being kept in the dark. To her, following their lead and living according to their choices felt even worse than being a fool."W-What do you mean? Fate playing tricks on people? It's just an expression."Quinton took a step back. He couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze. He felt like a criminal being interrogated."Quinton, stop treating me like I'm dumb, will you? What exactly are you and Stefan hiding from me? If he won't tell me, fine. But are you really going to keep secrets from me too? I'm your sister. Your twin sister. We spent nine months in the same womb together!"Renee pressed forward, alternating between reason and emotion as she chipped away at Quinton's defenses.Just as she'd said, Stefan might be i

    “Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Everheart passed away. Even Master Everheart left the world soon after. Meanwhile, you married into the Hunt family. Everheart Manor became empty, and many people had their eyes on it. They made away with everything they could. They'd even move the floor if they could.”“I fo

    "Sorry to keep you all waiting." Stefan wore a faint smile as he sat down beside Renee, as if they hadn't just argued. Renee glared at him, but could not do anything else since they were both guests there. Finally, she just sighed in annoyance and started eating. The atmosphere at the dining table w

    Stefan lowered his gaze, staring at the hands around his arm with narrowed eyes. "What's wrong?""People! There are so many people!" Renee looked around anxiously, then tried pulling Stefan into the backseat of the car. As she continued to squeeze in, she mumbled under her breath, "There's so many of

    "Pfft!" Renee burst out laughing despite herself.If anyone else had said that, she would not have felt that there was anything wrong with those words, but coming from the giant iceberg, it felt like a big fat joke."Hahahaha! Mr. CEO, did a ghost possess you or something? How could those words come o
