Chapter 1159
Enter titleā¦
In reality, Renee was hoping to get Stefan to make peace with Quinton-even if Stefan did
not extend an olive branch.
Their families had been allies for three generations, and their grandfathers were practically
brothers who supported each other for years-they certainly would not want them to turn
against each other.
Quinton was too impulsive and radical-he would inevitably upset many, and they would
certainly come seeking revenge. However, if Quinton allied himself with the Hunt family,
those enemies would have to be wary of both families, which spared them a lot of
unnecessary conflict.
To put it roughly⦠Renee was helping her brother get a sugar daddy.
If the day came when she was not around or something bad happened, at least he would
not be alone and helpless.
āConsider it, Quinton. If there are no issues, we can talk to him about the finer details next
Wednesday,ā Renee said earnestly, hoping that Quinton would say yes.
Quinton, however, snorted coolly, the look behind his mask becoming troubled. āYouāre
being naive, Renee. A grudge is not so easily forgotten-itās just like the scars on my face,
lingering despite having healed, and a constant reminder of the humiliation I suffered.
Anyone who forgets to hate is quite simply⦠spineless.ā
He took off his mask when he finished speaking, revealing the gruesome scars that
stretched across his face like lightning under the bright white lights overhead.
āQuintonā¦ā Renee frowned, her heart breaking.
āHe reduced me to a dogās life, a shadow of the man that I was⦠and now, you want me to
shake hands and make peace just because you told me too? Arenāt you getting conceited?ā
Quinton sneered. No one understood how he survived all those yearsāhe was
fundamentally unkind, so ā love and peaceā was just too difficult for him to even pretend.
Moreover, Quinton could tell that Renee still loved Stefan, but that would not stop him from
being Stefanās enemy.
āI know youāre still in love with him, so you have my word that I wonāt kill him no matter how
bad our rivalry gets. But this is business-itās a dog-eat-dog world, so Iām not going to hold
back!ā
āI know youāve been enemies with Stefan for a while, and asking for a partnership now is
difficult for you, but you donāt have to worryāI will try to get him to make amends. As long
as he is sincere enough, Iām sure that you will become friends one day. Itās what our parents
and grandfather would have wanted to see.ā
With three generations of friendship, the best outcome would be for it to continue.
āThatās not going to happen. The grudge between me and Stefan is far from that.ā Quintonās
fists clenched, his gaze
becoming distant. There was so much he never told Renee- not murdering Stefan was
already the limit of his mercy.
Renee became curious then, and asked carefully, āWhat else happened between you and
him? What donāt I know?ā
They should be even after Stefan disfigured Quinton, and Quinton blinded Stefan. She had
no idea what could have fueled such hatred in Quinton.
āThe less you know, the better.ā Quinton sighed, and turned to stride into the inner house.
āIām tired. I need some rest after everything they put me through.ā
Renee stared at Quinton with melancholy as he left. It was clear that Quinton carried a
terrible grudge, and she had to bring him around.
