Chapter: 1568
�There, there. Stop crying. Let�s not just stand here, we should go in and take a look around.� Quinton let go of Renee and held
her hand as they walked into Everheart Manor. Renee remained silent as she walked behind him.
She was greatly moved by what Quinton had done, but at the same time, she wondered when she should talk things out with him.
More than an hour passed by this way, and finally, she knew that she could not delay it anymore. She had to uncover those dark secrets for the sake of Joanne, Stefan, and Quinton.
�Ren, look. This back garden is vacant now but I planted the sunflower seeds from Angria a while back. You�ll be able to see a garden full of sunflowers when you come here next month,� Quinton said
enthusiastically as he stood on the balcony on the second floor.
Renee was his younger sister and his last remaining family member. He tried his best to treat her nicely, and yearned to give her all the best things in the world. He had heard from Margaret that Renee loved sunflowers the most, so after asking around, he shipped a batch of high-quality sunflower seeds all the way from Angria.
The sunflower was the national flower of Angria, so naturally, the ones that grew there were the best.
Renee deserved the best of everything.
�And I dug up a manmade lake over there, so you and the kids can sail a boat there.
And��
�Quinton!� Renee took a deep breath and interrupted him. At his confused look, she sighed and looked at him solemnly.
�What�s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?� Quinton asked her hesitantly.
He could tell that something was weighing on Renee�s mind, and he could pretty much guess what it was.
He didn�t want to open Pandora�s box, so he didn�t ask her about it, but now it seemed like he could not ignore it any longer. He had to face the consequences of his actions.
�Ask me whatever you want to ask. I�ll tell you everything honestly.� Quinton stopped smiling and became serious too.
Renee clenched her fists and said, �I want you to tell me about what happened in the past with Stefan. Are you really as innocent as you claim?�
�I never said that I was innocent. Every battle will have a winner and a loser. Stefan was capable but shameless when he defeated me back then. I have nothing to say about that. The only thing I can do is try to defeat him this time�� His eyes glittered, and he said shrewdly,
�Like now. It�s a great chance for us to defeat him since everyone is now on our side. We need to grab this opportunity!�
�Both you and him might not be innocent� but Joanne is,� Renee said softly after gathering her courage.
�Shut up!� Quinton�s expression instantly became sinister and twisted.
He was no longer his gentle self, and he looked like a stranger now. Joanne had always been a taboo topic, so nobody had dared to bring her up in front of him.
�Quinton, we have to talk about this if you trust me and want to leave that pain behind.� Renee carefully put her hand on Quinton�s shoulder and asked softly,
�Joanne didn�t betray you. She just wanted to take revenge on you, right?�
�What do you know?� Quinton pushed Renee aside, his eyes filled with rage. JrNovels.com
