Chapter 640

Author: Mizuki Sei
Shelley searched around but did not find Renee, so she figured Renee must have gone home.

Shelley said to Stefan, who was still sitting in Renee's chair, "Mr. Hunt, Ms. Everheart must have gone home. This is Azure Group's office, so I hope you remember your position as an outsider. You should leave now. I'm going to lock the door."

Stefan rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, then said with a cold look in his eyes, "No, she's not home yet."

If she had gone home, he would have seen her.

    Renee looked at Quinton curiously when she noticed his serious expression. "What's wrong, Quinton? Do you have thoughts about this?" Quinton frowned. It seemed like he was struggling to recall something. "I feel like I've seen this painting before.""You've seen it too?"Renee's heart skipped a beat. She looked troubled. "How could you have seen it? This painting had always been part of Mom's personal collection. It'd been in our old house the entire time. Before we reunited, you'd never even had contact with the Everheart family."Quinton shook his head. Fragmented memories seemed to enter his mind. It left him feeling confused."I don't know. I just feel like I've seen it before. I need to think."He stared at the painting while trying to recall more. Suddenly, he froze as if he had uncovered an unbelievable secret."What is it? Did you recall something?" Renee sensed something was off with Quinton and quickly asked.Quinton avoided her gaze and changed the subject. "How a

    "Hey, I'm fine. Don't touch me. Don't…"Joanne clearly wasn't used to Quinton's touch. Standing on the stool, she instinctively resisted, but she lost her balance in the process and fell straight into his arms.They locked eyes. For a moment, it felt like time itself had stopped.The way Joanne looked at Quinton was unlike the fear and hesitation she used to have. There was now something else mixed in.Meanwhile, from the way Quinton looked at her, it was obvious his heart went out to her.Renee stood off to the side like an audience member in a romcom flick. She covered her mouth to hide her grin, and she was screaming on the inside. 'They're truly childhood sweethearts. I'm so here for this!'"Ahem! Quinton, aren't your arms getting tired? If they are, maybe you should put Joanne down first."Renee finally spoke up after a few minutes. Seeing how the two were locked in the same pose, she decided she had to interrupt."Oh! Right, right!"The two of them snapped out of it at

    "Of course!" Joanne exclaimed.Although she had no idea what kind of help Renee needed, she happily followed Renee into the bedroom.After tidying up for a while, Renee carefully retrieved an ancient painting from a box. She began studying the room and trying to decide where to hang it."Wow, this painting is beautiful! The woman in it has such an elegant presence," Joanne said.She leaned in to look at the painting. She was just as captivated as Renee and Leia had been before."Yeah. Chase gave it to me. I want to hang it in my room. Where do you think it would look best?"Renee treated the painting like family. She was determined to place it just right."Over here. Right across the window. When the sun comes in, the light will hit it perfectly. It'll look even better."Joanne pointed to the wall directly across from the window. That section of the wall happened to be empty. It was almost as if it had been left empty for this exact painting."We really do think alike. That's

    In the end, Renee returned to Everheart Manor with the painting.After Renee had spent a night out camping, everything was back to normal at Everheart Manor.Her kids were growing up fast, and they were becoming more sensible by the day. They hardly caused any trouble for the adults anymore.By the time Renee got home, they had already gone to school. Quinton and Joanne had taken them there together and were now returning side by side.At a glance, the kids almost looked like they were born to the both of them."Quinton, Joanne, thank you for helping me take care of Adie and Abby these past few days. I honestly don't know what I would've done without you."Looking at Quinton and Joanne, Renee's gratitude was written all over her face.Ever since Margaret's accident, she had been like a headless chicken. She was juggling the company's affairs on one hand while managing the kids' daily needs on the other. She even had to find time to investigate the truth behind the Everheart fami

    "Huh? So this painting actually has that much of a story behind it?" Leia blurted out.As she listened to Renee, her curiosity instantly flared up.She studied the painting carefully. What once seemed ordinary now felt unusually intriguing."I think there must be some kind of secret hidden in this painting. Otherwise, why would your mom play a game like that with you?"Leia rubbed her chin. It looked as if she had turned into a detective who spoke with absolute certainty."I think so too. This painting definitely isn't simple. I was too young back then and didn't think much of it. By the time I actually wanted to study it properly, the Everheart family had already fallen. I guess this painting was sold off during that time."Renee let out a long sigh. Looking at the painting felt like stepping into a time machine. It took her back to the days when the Everheart family was still thriving.Back then, everything had been wonderful. Her parents and grandpa were still alive and well.

    Renee and Leia exchanged a glance and swallowed nervously. They wondered what kind of incredible object could be inside that room.Once the door opened, they saw a painting inside a display case."That's it?"Leia was clearly disappointed. She had expected some mysterious rare beast or something more shocking.Instead, it was only an antique painting. The artwork depicted a simple scene of a young woman washing silk. The style was elegant, and it had understated tones for color. It wasn't too different from the antique paintings in museums. It hardly seemed worthy of such tight security."This isn't an ordinary painting," Renee said.Standing in front of it, Renee was instantly captivated. It was as if the entire painting had drawn her in. She stood there for a long time without speaking."As expected, Ms. Everheart has a good eye. This is indeed no ordinary piece. It was painted by a ruler of the Somerian period. There are no authentic works of his left on the market now. The

    "No, they won't!" Renee cried. Renee hurriedly interrupted Joanne's self-denial. She held Joanne's shoulders and began to encourage the latter. "You have no idea how great you were! You were the most popular Cienna teacher in Lone Pine Elementary. You even helped your student to win an essay competi

    They carried Renee to their tribe in the dark while singing a war song.There were thatched cottages with many human or animal skulls hanging at the front. The women had thick and heavy ivory bone locks on their mouths. It seemed they were prohibited from speaking casually. It was clear that they wer

    Renee suggested Joanne apply for a college because she wanted to stall for time. She hoped to see Joanne focus on something else, so Joanne wouldn't dwell on her sad past. Doing so would only lead to a dead end. Renee also hoped Joanne could stay in Everheart Manor with peace of mind. Then, they cou

    "Leroy found an ancient tomb there with a lot of treasure. The local Cultural Relics Bureau has been alerted, and they're negotiating at the moment. I need to rush there to see if a compromise is possible."Quinton had delayed his business while acting as Joanne's study buddy.Leroy Hollis had informe
