Francine hurriedly rushed over to Jovan's home, a scowl on her face for the whole journey.She had always been rivals with Sheila ever since she joined the Hunt family. For years, she had never lost once, apart from comparing their daughters-in-law back then.Now, she was proud of her daughter-in-law as well. Not only did Renee have a successful career, she had even given birth to a pair of beautiful twins. That was surely enough to keep Sheila at the bottom for eternity."Sheila Campbell, what is your problem? It's seven in the morning! Did something great happen to my family that you just couldn't bear to watch in envy any longer?!" Francine ignored the maids' attempts at stopping her and barged right into the living room. She was clearly ready for a fight, and her aura was absolutely intimidating.Sheila then walked out of Jovan's room and stood by the staircase, mocking her. "I really am quite envious of what great things have been happening to your family recently. I mean, it
"So what? My daughter-in-law is a prodigy. She was the one who invented the G6 chip that will change the entire world! Your son is nothing compared to my daughter-in-law!"Seeing the two arguing so furiously, Renee and Jovan both let out a deep sigh."Jovan, this is your fault! Aren't you going to do something?" Renee nudged the man, pressuring him.If they continued on, she was worried Francine might reveal every single bit of her past. However, she had to admit that her ex-mother-in-law was quite protective of her. Anyone who didn't know her would mistake her as some kind of hardcore fan of Renee's.It was as if Francine had memorized every single thing she had done in research, along with her projects and achievements. Mentioning any of them would make her smile pridefully."Don't worry, leave this up to me." Jovan raised a brow at her and joined the fight nonchalantly, standing in between the two older women. "Ladies, ladies, stop fighting. One said I raped Renee, and the ot
Francine never hoped for her dense son to actually swing by as told, as she only intended to intimidate Jovan and Sheila. After all, Stefan was undoubtedly the future head of the family, so no one would ever dare to upset him.As expected, Sheila's arrogance instantly faded, and she lowered her voice. "Such embarrassing things should be handled privately, right? Let's not bother anyone else. Besides, my dear nephew is probably busy with his new girlfriend, so he wouldn't have the time for such trivial matters!""Now you're calling it a trivial matter? Didn't you want to call the cops not long ago?" Francine glared at Sheila, her demeanor arrogant. "I'll tell you what, Sheila Campbell. My son and Seraphina are just acting, who he truly loves is Renee! Now that your son has laid a finger on his girl, my son will definitely not let him off!"Sheila gulped nervously, her cocky expression replaced with extreme panic. She warned Jovan, who was standing next to her. "Son, I don't care who
He advanced slowly as he questioned her, his lovely features chilly, his voice cold. "Tell me, did you really sleep with Jovan?"Renee's cherry lips curved into a tiny grin as she asked him, "Do you really care if we slept together?""I'm asking whether you did it or not!"Stefan's voice lowered a few notches, and he harshly gripped the woman's shoulder, unable to control his emotions.Renee's grin stopped, and her eyes were scornful as she asked him another inquiry, "Did you sleep with Seraphina? Where did you go with her after yesterday's announcement?""Renee, don't push my buttons. You are well aware of the consequences of upsetting me!""We've faced each other before, and I've never been terrified of you. Do you think I will be afraid of you and your consequences now?"She swatted his hands away, pretending to be affectionate with Jovan while pulling his hand while she challenged Stefan. "If you can cheat behind my back, so can I. We're no exception.""Idiot!"Stefan was
Renee went down the road after leaving the abandoned location, having no clue where she was headed.She spent four years developing the G6 Chip before becoming chairman of KCL Holdings. She was supposed to be successful in life and should rightfully feel that way.Yet she felt empty. It felt as if she had lost more.In the years that she and Stefan got back and split up, it had sucked up all her energy and drained her completely.So she tightened her fist and promised silently to herself, 'No matter what it is, I will never engage myself with him again!'’It was then that her phone abruptly rang.She took out her phone lazily and saw an unknown number on her screen.Her initial reaction was to reject the call, but the unknown person was tenacious and wouldn't stop calling."Who are you, and why do you keep calling me?"She was already annoyed and let out her frustration towards the person on the other line."Ren, come home. I'm the one you've been looking for."The man on th
"I am the real Mr. Q. The man you met before is a fake!"Instantly, his voice turned harsh. "There hasn't been a day that's gone by without me wishing I could tear him apart!""Why are you telling me these things? What do they have to do with me?" She gulped nervously and backed away unconsciously.The man before her was weird. Although he was gentle with her, his sheer viciousness terrified her. "Ren, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. I've endured the humiliation for umpteen years, but now, I can exact my vengeance."He slowly inched toward Renee and tried to reach his hand out to pat her head as his eyes were full of pride. "I saw on the news that you’re the new president of KCL Holdings. The Everheart family will be proud of you. Beach City will belong to our family in the future!""Our family?"Renee was astute and got right to the point when she asked him, "You said you're Mr. Q, but I'm certain you're not the same man I met. So, how do you know me or the Everheart family
Renee and the man's DNA had a 99.1% match, proving that they were biological siblings."This... this is incredible!"Her fingers shook as she glanced at the report, and her heart raced wildly."Do you believe I'm your twin brother now, Renee?"Quinton, on the other hand, was considerably more composed. He moved before Renee grasped her shoulder and murmured, "We've finally reconnected. Let me take a look at you.”His gaze was soft as he inspected her as if she were another version of himself. His eyes were filled with love."Bro... brother."Renee moved her head up slightly and gazed at the guy. Despite the fact that she was unaccustomed to the term, she welcomed him nonetheless.She immediately realized she wasn't alone at that time. She finally had someone on whom she could rely.This was probably the magical power of family!Renee accompanied Quinton to Carmine Pawnshop on his invitation.He owned the whole area, including the Water Dock.The fearsome Midnight Demon had
Renee sat beside Quinton, anxiously gulping. "Quinton, what is an organ room?"Quinton instantly relaxed and calmly explained to Renee. "The organ room is the same as any other treasure room. It's a facility for removing and storing organs. It is the best-selling service here at Carmine Pawnshop. However, it is a pity that the imposter halted the business, and the shop became just another pawn shop."He stated it casually, as if he were discussing something as mundane as the weather.Renee felt goosebumps crawling all over her skin, and she inquired gently, "Isn't it illegal to deal with organs?""Renee, the Water Dock lies on the border of three countries. There is no law here. The only concern is about making money. Do you know why the pawnshop is named after the color red?"In order to make money, Carmine Pawnshop relied on the red heart of humans. A beating heart would be extracted with a sharp blade that was sliced through the chest.""Stop talking!"Renee paused in his det
