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
"He's an idiot," Quinton said curiously to Renee. "How do you expect him to make amends?"Renee stood up and walked in front of Chase, helping him."Chase, I know you're devoted to my brother. You simply have a weak vision and haven't realized you've been working for an impostor for the last four years. You probably want to know who the impostor is, right?”Chase’s lips paled, and he felt weak as he murmured guilty, “Boss is why I’m still alive. He rescued me. However, I was too blind and stupid and couldn't identify between an imposter and my boss. I'll be ashamed of myself if I continue to live!""Wait a minute. Let’s not talk about death or living first. Tell me, do you want to know who the imposter is?”"Of course, I do!"His eyes were wrathful, and he lost his tenderness and serenity. "This imposter is so bold that he dared to impersonate Mr. Q. He better not let me capture him, or I would make him suffer a terrible death!”"Uhm, calm down..." she soothed him.She had the
Quinton donned an apron and went to work in the kitchen. He grinned pleasantly and responded, "I’m not the best cook out there. It’s simply that I am mature at a young age. Therefore, I’m accustomed to performing duties like purchasing groceries, cooking, and washing clothes."Renee leaned against the wall, staring at the busy but organized man as she wondered how many dinners he must've prepared to be this acquainted with cooking."Quinton, could you tell me how you survived all these years?" she asked, phrasing her words carefully, afraid that her question might trigger his pain.The knife in his hand stopped chopping the vegetable, and he pursed his lips without uttering anything."If it’s uncomfortable telling me, then you don’t have to. After all, that was in the past, and it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is the future!"She could feel that his mood had soured and swiftly shifted the topic."It's fine..."He smiled faintly at her and resumed cutting as he said casual
Renee ultimately failed to obtain any additional information from Quinton."Fine. If you're not going to tell me, I'll just have to figure it out myself!" She stated obstinately.She had always assumed that the Everheart family's downfall was due to commercial rivalry, which led them to bankruptcy. She had always blamed it on society.But suddenly, there was a legitimate explanation behind it. Quinton's past, the Everheart family's bankruptcy, and even the loss of her parents were not as simple as she had imagined."Silly girl, if you want to find out for yourself, you can. Just don't be too depressed when you do..."He sighed while his skillful hands prepared the food. "The closer you are to the truth, the more hurt it will bring." "No, I disagree. It hurt the most to be lied to and treated like an idiot. I’m almost 30, not a fragile flower that needs protection. I'm not actually as weak as you'd like to believe."Renee's eyes were filled with passion, and she stated firmly, "
Margaret followed Renee carefully, and her ideals about how she saw the world reiterated themselves many times along the road."What is this place, Ms. Ren? Why is everything so chaotic? Everyone here appears to be frightening. Is this a dangerous place?" She delicately inquired, pulling on the corner of Renee's clothing."Margaret, relax a little. It is very chaotic here. Out of all the places in Beach City, this is the most dangerous, as there are no boundaries. But don't worry because someone is looking after us, and no one will attempt to hurt us.""Taking care of us?"As Margaret was lost in confusion, Renee pushed open the double-carved log door of the restaurant and walked in with a smile.“Renee, you’re finally back. Quickly sit down and eat. The food is starting to get cold."Quinton, irritated earlier, immediately brightened up, and his gaze softened and gentled.When he saw Margaret behind Renee, he grew concerned and grimaced. “Who is she?”The Carmine Pawnshop wasn
The atmosphere instantly turned solemn as the air grew thick with sorrow."Can you tell me what exactly happened back then?" Quinton asked, lowering his voice. "Even though the Everheart family abandoned me, I have the right to know the truth."“No, it’s not like that, Mr. Quinton. Please don’t misunderstand Mr. and Mrs. Everheart. They never abandoned you. They loved you just as much as they loved Ms. Ren. However, an accident did happen that year.”With a sad face and enduring heartache, Margaret told them about the tragic events that happened 28 years ago.“At that time, everyone was happy that Mrs. Everheart was pregnant with twins. They picked the greatest private hospital for your and Ms. Ren's arrival on the day of your birth. Finally, both of you were born safely. But then a gang of thugs burst into the delivery room and kidnapped you and Ms. Ren. Madam had just given birth to you two and was weak, so she could only protect Ms. Ren and watch you being taken away by those pe
Quinton Everheart turned sullen as he once again cleverly avoided the subject."..."Renee, too, had no desire to pursue it. She did not want to put any more pressure on Quinton, as she felt that he was already under enough. Besides, no matter what, she would find a way to get to the bottom of the truth and find out what actually happened herself anyway.She swore that the Everheart family would be avenged!It ended up being a dinner that was filled with warmth and happiness for Renee. Her heart was bursting with so much bliss and joy that she was almost moved to tears a few times."I have a brother now! I actually have a brother!"What a wonderful feeling it was to find that she had a close family member again! No longer was she duckweed floating aimlessly without any roots to anchor it down."Everheart Manor is in a sorry state right now," she told Quinton, "but I'm determined to rebuild it, and when it's done, you and I, along with Adie and Abby, will move into the house and
