Chapter: 1019

The woman smiled awkwardly and didn�t respond. She knew that this was just a facade, and Mr. Q had better acting skills than her. He was the perfect husband and father, with absolutely no flaws in his act.

On the contrary, she was being dismissive the whole time, which meant that the twins would soon catch on that this was all fake.

�It�s getting late, so you two should go to bed now � only then will you have the energy for school tomorrow.� Renee turned to the children, who were still happily playing. She had some things to discuss with Mr. Q in private.

Aiden was smart, and nodded obediently. �Abby, we should go to sleep now, and let Daddy Q and Mommy get to spend some time together.�

Renee felt slightly awkward when she heard that, and she brushed her hair to the side of her face stiffly. �Tsk tsk, sometimes it can really be a headache to have such smart children.�

Margeret then took the children to bed, leaving Renee and Mr. Q in the living room. The man was sitting on the couch in a relaxed position, his legs crossed. Anyone looking at him would have thought that this was actually his home.

�So, what would you like to ask?� He asked with a fake smile, as if he could see right through Renee.

�You�re a smart guy, so I do have something to ask you.� Renee didn�t stall any longer and placed the box containing the Rainbow Glaze onto the coffee table. She was straightforward with him.

�I got the Rainbow Glaze, but I�d like to know what exactly is so special about it, and why it�s so special to Stefan Hunt and his family. Why did the two of you fight so much over it?�

�He actually gave you such a precious relic�� Mr. Q gave a complicated smile, putting a thumb up.

�Looks like you�re still very important to him. To think he�d give you something that he needed to survive. Even though I�m his rival, I can�t help but feel impressed by his love and dedication for you.�

�Needed to survive?� Renee asked slowly.

�Don�t you know? The Rainbow Glaze is made of a rare material, and using it with any liquid can generate a cure to all illnesses. And it�s not just some silly myth��

Mr. Q smiled at her bitterly. �Back when Stefan Hunt and his brother, Tristan Hunt, encountered an assassination, Stefan Hunt was left with a hidden ailment. He needed to use the Rainbow Glaze periodically to stabilize his condition. That�s why the Hunt family used up almost all their resources just to obtain the relic, and managed to win against Carmine Pawnshop. That was how he defeated me.�

Mr. Q calmly described the situation as if he was an outsider in the scenario. Despite having lost the battle, he didn�t seem to hold any resentment at all, and graciously accepted his defeat.

�You�re kidding, right? How is that possible?� Renee was certain that Mr. Q was lying on purpose, all for the sake of toying with her.

�I�d believe it if you said the relic had historical value, but I refuse to believe that it can cure all diseases! This is real life, not some fantasy movie! If you keep bluffing, this thing is going to reveal its true form as a god or something!�

�You can choose to not believe me, but it is the truth. Stefan Hunt handed you something that he needs to survive, which means that he literally put his life in your hands. I�m sure he asked for something in return.� Mr. Q raised an eyebrow questioningly.

�He didn�t ask for much, he� he probably felt like he owed me too much, so he gave this to me� to make himself feel better about himself.� Renee stammered, trying to come up with a believable excuse.

�From what I know of him, Stefan Hunt isn�t someone who would reflect on his issues so easily. He�s such an arrogant man, so why would he ever think he owes anyone anything?� Mr. Q scoffed. JrNovels.com
