However, he was the one who stood out the most. With the unique black feather mask on his face, it was quite hard to not get people to turn their heads. He wasn�t exactly interested in this banquet. If not for his sister�s pestering, along with the mention that the main character of this party was very important to her, he would not have attended.

As the organizer of the banquet, Renee had her hands rather full doing the preparations. When she finally had a chance to rest, she noticed Quinton leaning against the piano, which made her giggle.

�Quinton, if you�re really that bored, just play some games with Chase and the others later!�

She said as she walked towards the man, a small dessert in hand. Quinton turned back to Renee, his eyes under the mask revealing a look of praise, �Tsk tsk tsk. As expected of my own sister. Just look at you; you�re like a goddess.�

�Haha, that�s what I like to hear, Quinton. Keep going, keep praising me.� Renee smiled sweetly.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous silver bodycon mermaid dress, which enunciated her beautiful and luscious figure. The thin straps made it look light, and the bareback design put her lovely fair on full display.

Quinton sipped on his wine, then spoke in a somewhat jealous tone. �Who is this guy

anyway? Is he that important to you? You even dressed up to welcome him back! You didn�t even do this for me when we reunited!�

�I told you, he�s Leia�s brother, and they�re twins like us. He helped me during my darkest times, and he�s like a good brother to me. So yes, he has an important place in my heart. Please control your temper when you see him. I don�t want you to scare him off.�

�Good brother?� Quinton became even more jealous and huffed. �Could he even be better than me, your actual brother?�

�You�re both great, and you�re just as important. You�re both my brothers after all.�

�No, we�ll just have to find out who�s better today.�

�What� What do you mean?�

�It means I need to see if that guy is qualified to be your brother.�

Just as Quinton finished his sentence, Liam and Leia walked in through the entrance.

�Liam!� Renee immediately ran towards him and gave him a solid bear hug. She teared up, saying, �You�re finally back! Do you know how much has happened while you were gone?! had no one to come up with ideas for me!�

Although she had Quinton, Leia, Chase, and many others assisting her, Liam was still the

smartest and most composed person she had ever worked with. He was also the only

person who understood her the most.

To her, this man was no different from a right-hand man at this point; she couldn�t possibly do anything big without his help.

�Renee, long� long time no see!� Liam stammered, his entire body tensing. He didn�t dare to return her hug and placed his hands on his side with clenched fists.

Having wandered around for so long, he had experienced many odd adventures that he simply couldn�t ever finish talking about. He always thought that he would be able to face this woman with a calm heart since he had endured quite a bit of training.

However, at this very moment, his heart couldn�t help but flutter uncontrollably.

�Hey, I showed you how much I missed you! And all I get is a long time no see? Come on,

dude!� Renee was still quite overwhelmed, with tears in her eyes. JrNovels.com
