Renee returned to Carmine Pawnshop from H Group.
Quinton had a great time chatting with Liam, so he invited both Liam and Leia to stay for
dinner.
Meanwhile, Renee booked a flight ticket to Goldshire, the capital of Cyndiago, at ten o’clock
that night.
A sumptuous dinner was served. Everyone chatted and ate happily, and the atmosphere
was warm and harmonious.
“Come, let’s toast! I hope we can all gather here for a good meal and fine wine every year
from now on.” Quinton raised his wine glass and proposed heartily.
“Cheers!” Everyone stood up and toasted. Even Adie and Abby raised their cups, not
wanting to be left out.
Since Quinton was in a good mood, Renee leaned over to him and said softly, “Quinton, can
you promise me something?”
Quinton smiled warmly at her. “Of course! You’re my sister, you can have whatever you
want.”
“I’m about to set off again...”
“What?” Quinton’s face immediately twisted with displeasure. “You just came back, so why
the hell do you want to leave again? Is this about a guy? ■
Both Adie and Abby became sad when they heard that too. They held Renee’s hands and
looked up at her pleadingly.
Abby whimpered, “Mommy, don’t go. Adie and Abby can’t bear to part with you.”
Adie said, “Mommy, where are you going? I want to go too...”
Renee touched their heads and explained gently, “Adie, Abby, be good. It’s just a short
business trip. At most, I’ll only be gone a week. If I make it quick, I can come back in three
to five days. You have to be good.”
“Okay, Mommy. Well be good and wait for you to hurry home.”
Only then did they sit down obediently to eat.
Renee was not worried about her children misbehaving, she was worried about her brother
misbehaving. Quinton was reckless, irritable, stubborn, and extreme, and he always did
what he wanted to.
“Quinton, I want you to promise me not to provoke Stefan again when I’m gone. He also
promised me that he won’t take revenge on you for ten days.
I hope the both of you can spend this time in peace.”
Quinton’s expression turned colder. He put down his fork and asked, “Did you meet him?”
“Hmm.” Renee did not want to keep it a secret, so she nodded firmly. She hoped that he
could understand her kind intentions.
“How naive!” Quinton smacked the table and sneered, “Do you know how hypocritical and
horrible people can be? Do you actually think he’ll keep his word? A hypocrite like Stefan
has no feelings; he can just fool young, naive women like you.”
“I believe that he wont lie to me,” Renee insisted.
“Don’t forget that he’s long forgotten about you. To him, you’re just his competitor’s sister, so
why would he listen to you?” Quinton scoffed. “We ruined his reputation, and the shares of
H Group have dropped drastically. Of course, a revengeful person like him will make a
counterattack. If I just sit by and do nothing, I’ll be doomed!”
“No, he won’t!” Renee held Quinton’s hand and looked at him with a sincere and determined
gaze. “Quinton, trust me this time. Let me do what I need to. If he breaks his promise, I’ll
bear the consequences, and I’ll take revenge on him for you!”
Renee’s eyes became watery, and Quinton found it hard to refuse her. Hence, he waved his
hand dismissively and grumbled, “Fine, I’ll do as you say. I’m tired anyway, so at least I can
get some rest during this time.”
