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 threeto 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.�

�Great! Quinton, you�re the best.� Renee heaved a sigh of relief and gave Quinton a bear hug.

Leia chimed in curiously, �Ren, where are you going with Liam? It sounds so mysterious. I want to go too!�

Liam stuffed a drumstick into Leia�s mouth and said irritatedly, �You�re just a kid. Stop

meddling in the adults� business. Eat more and grow up.�

Leia�s eyes bulged in anger, and she removed the drumstick from her mouth angrily. She glared at Liam and snapped,

�Liam, I�m only a few minutes younger than you. Stop acting like a kid!� JrNovels.com
