Just then, a beautiful woman meekly interrupted them and announced, "The boss has returned tonight, Mr. Cheever, but he is extremely busy, so he said not to disturb him if there's nothing urgent.""Really?" Chase's eyes lit up. "That's great! Where is he right now? What could make him so busy? Did he find something precious?""Um… Boss is in the kitchen. I think he's… busy cooking."The woman smiled awkwardly."Cooking?!" Renee felt like cursing them all. She turned to Chase and asked, "Is this what you mean when you told me your boss is always so busy with a million things to do every day?!""Well…" Chase could hardly believe it himself. But to mend the situation, he shamelessly suggested, "I guess our boss must've found some rare precious pots to try!""..."Before she came here, she assumed that Carmine Pawnshop was a hellish place where fearsome demons gathered, but she realized that it was more of a house full of comedians! Even their boss—the infamous Midnight Demon—seemed
Renee sat in the living room, staring up at the artwork on the wall.The artist who painted the masterpiece, Dost Wurst, happened to be her father's favorite painter.Her father's favorite artwork, Evening Song of the Shepherd Boy, was destroyed in the fire.The artwork in front of her was titled Snow Before the Shepherd Boy, and it resembled the Evening Song of the Shepherd Boy in several ways. It was also the artwork that her father had been looking for while he was alive but had not found it.Nonetheless, she was still able to locate it. This made her question whether this was destiny."Do you understand drawings as well?" Behind her, a stern and chilly voice spoke out.Renee was taken aback by the familiar voice and immediately looked around.The guy was towering and imposing. Dressed in all black from head to toe, his black feather face mask seemed delicate, surrounding him with an air of mystery. The chilly grin on his face instilled terror in everyone around him. It was e
"My condition is unique?""Yes, but please don't get mad at me for saying this."Renee took the risk of offending him by pointing to the mask on his face. "I heard your face was badly damaged in the fight with Mr. Hunt, and you've been wearing a mask ever since. You've even sworn to kill anybody who has seen your face. I know it may be difficult since you are afraid of frightening people and being repulsive. But when you're on that island, all those worries will be things of the past because you can take off your mask whenever you want. Nobody will be afraid of you, nor will they dislike you. Doesn't the island suit you completely?"Mr. Q was at a loss for words when he heard this.When Renee saw his confused feelings, she said, "You're enemies with Stefan, and so am I." Because we are fighting the same adversary, I believe you should back me up. I need the money to fight Hunt Enterprise.""Who are you to do that?"Mr. Q had clearly not taken her remarks seriously."We'll just h
"Wrap it up for me?"Renee was taken aback and perplexed."You don't like it?" Mr. Q questioned, turning to face her.“No. I really do!"She returned her gaze to the picture and said, "Isn't it a little inappropriate that you give me such an expensive painting?"Although she had been hinting at him to give it to her, she never expected him to be so casual about it!"I don't see what the problem is if you like it. It's just a piece of art. There are a lot of paintings in the pawn shop," he said casually."Thank you!"She quickly bowed and thanked him. At this moment, she thought even his face mask was charming.Money was, indeed, the most powerful force in the world.She was suddenly reminded of the elderly man's forecast that said, 'As lofty as the mountain, as boundless as the sea. An unrivaled pair, their union shall stand through eternity.''Is it possible that Mr. Q is the one I'll marry? If he were, it would be absurd, considering he is Stefan's arch-adversary. If Stefa
“You…”Mr. Q took a moment to process all Renee said before responding emotionlessly, "You have a wild imagination.""Is that not the case?"Renee took a step closer to him before placing her palm on his chest.When he saw this, he grimaced and grabbed her hand. "What exactly are you doing?" "Don'tworry. I simply want to know whether your pulse quickened for me."She raised her glance to his and smiled sweetly.He was first uneasy until a grin came over his face. He put his long arm around her waist, drew her into his arms, and murmured hoarsely, "If you want to feel it, come closer."Renee's cheeks reddened instantly, and she slipped from his grasp."What's the matter with you? I'm not going to eat you."It was his time to take the lead, and he grinned as he inched closer to Renee. "You said that I am your ex-husband's adversary. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend,' as the adage goes. I believe we can give it a go and be together.""No!"She quickly crossed her arms.'I
Renee led Mr. Q to Sun Island's center, where she and her children spent most of their time.They had to stroll through the sunflower garden to get there.The garden was lovely, as each sunflower bloomed beautifully and grew to be as tall as humans.One strolled in front of the house, while the other wandered in the garden. The golden warmth of the sun shined on their head and shoulders. The sight was stunning, like something out of a movie.Abigail stood at the far end of the garden, wearing a yellow dress and a little hat. She had a tiny shovel in her hand and was digging a hole."Abby, the sun is up, and the temperature is rising. Let's get you home before you become ill!" Margaret said as she stepped to the side and fanned her. "You can go home first, Margaret. I need to cover the whole farm with sunflowers. Only then can Mommy and Adie return.""This land is enormous. It'll be night by the time you finish planting it with sunflowers. Let's go home.." Margaret was concerned
Renee was uneasy as she struggled to introduce Mr.Q to Abigail.Abigail would have driven him away with the small shovel if she had informed her he was coming to acquire Sun Island."He's a new friend I made in Beach City," she answered hopelessly since this was the only response she could come up with. "Mommy's friend?"Abigail stepped out of Renee's embrace and moved up to Mr. Q. She smiled pleasantly and glanced at him before grasping his palm in her small hand. "Greetings from Sun Island. You're my friend too, because you're Mommy's buddy!"Mr. Q's frigid expression vanished, and it was clear that Abigail's kindness warmed his chilly heart.As a result, he knelt and shook Abigail's hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, little one. Not only am I your mother's friend, but I am also your brother's buddy. I am confident that the four of us will be great friends.""Of course!"Mommy doesn't have many friends, especially male friends," Abigail said, her eyes sparkling with delight. "
"Margaret, you can tell me about your concerns," Renee said."Ms. Ren, you know Addie and Abby grew up here on Sun Island, they barely have any contact with the outside world. I'm not concerned about Addie. He's a clever child who is quite defensive, so no one can trick him. But I'm concerned about Abby. She's a tiny angel with no defensive abilities. I'm concerned she'll encounter some nasty individuals when she leaves Sun Island. The most important fact is that Abby has health problems and has difficulty breathing. She needs fresh air to breathe. Even here on Sun Island, where the air is clean, she'll become sick now and again; what will happen if she moves to the city?"Renee seemed concerned when she heard this. "This concerns me as well. But Abby cannot constantly be sheltered; she must learn from her surroundings. I'll do my best to locate a suitable location in Beach City.""When it comes to a healthy environment, there are only two areas in Beach City where the tree coverage
