Chapter 668
When night fell, Renee drove to Carmine Pawnshop in Water Dock, bringing Abby and Adie with her, as planned.
Compared to the ‘thrilling’ experience she had last time, her entire way there was a rather smooth affair, as if someone had
cleared the way for her. Many of the people there were strangely courteous, while some even handed her bouquets of flowers.
They were close to putting out a red carpet for her.
“Huh, this is weird. Did they have a change of heart or something? What happened to those vicious people? Why are they so
gentle and kind now?” Renee asked under her breath as she looked towards the flower necklace around her neck, visibly
confused.
Aiden was in the back seat, showing a knowing look as he pointed out the obvious. “That’s because they see you as their queen
now! Of course, they’d have to give their queen the best treatment they can provide.”
“What queen? I don’t even know them! It’s not like we’re in a movie!’
“You don’t have to know who they are. You just need to know who Q is!” Aiden explained with a serious face. “Q is their king, and
they listen to his every order. As Q’s future wife, you’re now their queen!”
“I already had Q inform them beforehand about you, so they probably worship you at this point...”
“What?!” Renee shrieked, holding onto the steering wheel angrily. “Aiden Everheart, how could you have done this to your
mother?! You sold me off to some random guy?! When have I ever said I wanted to be his wife!!”
“It’s okay! You can just spend more time with each other! Q is really nice. You’ll definitely like him, so it’s just a matter of time till
you become his wife.” Aiden snapped his fingers confidently. He truly believed in the taste of both his own and his sister’s.
Abby nodded profusely, speaking in a sweet tone. “Mommy, me, and Adie are already Uncle Q’s children now! We’re just waiting
for you to be his wife! Then we can be one big happy family!”
Renee fell speechless, thinking to herself. ‘Oh god, I’ve raised my beautiful children for four years, yet they were coaxed by a
well-known villain?!’
‘Was I a failure, or was this cunning guy too great of an actor?’
‘Fine then, I’ll just have to find a way to show the kids who he truly is tonight!’
Under a warm welcome, Renee finally arrived at the prime location of Water Dock, the Carmine Pawnshop.
Chase was already waiting at the entrance with an elegant smile. “Miss Everheart, you’re on time. Our boss actually thought
you’d stand him up!”
“Well, I won’t go that far.” Renee then peeked inside and asked, “So, where’s your boss?”
“I know, I know!” The two kids jumped with joy, raising their hands.
Adie said, “Q must be preparing yummy food for us in the kitchen!’
Chase smiled and gave the children a thumbs up. “You’re so smart! No wonder Boss likes you so much. You know him so well
that it feels like you’re his children.”
Abby’s beautiful doe eyes blinked sweetly as she grabbed Chase’s hand.” Uncle Chase, I want to see Daddy Q cook! Can you
take us to him?”
‘She’s calling him Daddy Q now?!’ Renee felt helpless, putting her palm to her forehead. ‘Abby is so naive and easily
manipulated! She might even help scammers scam herself at one point!’
‘Tsk tsk, looks like I have to unmask this Night Demon as soon as possible so that I can teach these two a valuable lesson on
trust!’
“Follow me then. I’m sure Mr. Q will be happy to let you watch him work his magic in the kitchen,’ the man said as he brought the
three to the kitchen within the pawnshop.
Within the spacious, clean kitchen was Mr. Q’s tall figure standing before the counter. He seemed to be focused on marinating a
grouper.
Emanating the aura of a delicate craftsman, he could’ve easily passed off as a famous chef in the city from a distance.
