“Er... that...” When Renee noticed Joanne’s intention of letting it all go to hell, she was in a
dilemma. When a person had lost all hope, it would be near impossible to save them.
“If you don’t leave, you’ll meet a miserable end. Even if you manage to stay alive, the
master will torture you. Have you ever thought about the consequences?” Renee patiently
tried to persuade Joanne.
“Yeah, I’m aware of that but I don’t care. If I was afraid of death, I wouldn’t have betrayed
him. I cant bear his lawless behaviour, so I hope that I can do something nice before I die to
make up for the mistakes I made,” Joanne said absently. She had long lost all hope to
survive. When she recalled the things she did in the past, as well as the things she had
experienced, she lost her desire to live. She no longer recognized herself.
“You want to make up for your mistakes, so it proves that you haven’t given up all hope.
There’s still something you can’t let go of... So, don’t just give up on yourself, okay? We’ll
get out of this place together.” In the dark, Renee extended her hand towards Joanne.
“Even if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for me. Let’s escape together. Can you do that for
me?” i
“No, I don’t want to!” Joanne refused, turning away from Renee firmly. Her heart had broken
when she jumped into the sea with Quinton-now, she just existed.
After the incident, she had wandered into the red-light district. Many people had humiliated
her there, which instilled a deep hatred in her heart. She hated the world, and she hated
herself even more.
“Wow, you’re really...” Renee sighed exasperatedly. She wanted to comment on how
stubborn Joanne was, but decided against it. She demanded, “Don’t tell me you have no
regrets! Isn’t there anyone you want to see again?”
“A person I want to see again?”
“Yes! Imagine if you could see one person before you die, so that you could die without
regrets. Wouldn’t that be nice?” Renee finally asked.
Unexpectedly, Joanne responded to the question hesitantly. “You’re right. I do care about
someone. For so many years, I’ve yearned to see him again.
I can die in peace after meeting him.”
“Really? Who do you want to meet? It’s Night Demon, isn’t it? I know that you still care
about him.” Renee’s eyes lit up and she became excited. It seemed like the great
reconciliation she wanted would finally happen!
“Of course not! The one I want to see is the president of H Group, Stefan Hunt,” Joanne
responded bluntly.
Renee’s smile stiffened, and she was dumbfounded.
Did she hear Joanne wrong? The person Joanne wanted to see again before she died...
was also the scumbag who had lied to her and manipulated her.
“The only person I feel that I’ve wronged is Mr. Hunt. Unfortunately... I didn’t manage to say
sorry to him. I...”
“Please stop.” Renee immediately stopped Joanne’s confusing words.” Miss, you can tell
me if you were fooled and bewitched by Mr. Hunt. I can help you. Don’t you know that he
lied to you and manipulated you?”
If she managed to bring Joanne back to Beach City but Joanne went to see Stefan instead
of Quinton, ‘the great reconciliation’ might become ‘the great war’ instead...
The very idea of it was terrifying.
On the other hand, both Liam and Amber were taking a walk under the moonlight. However,
he was ill at ease and engulfed in anxiety
