�How could you say such a thing? Your life might be good now, but what about Joanne�s? You ruined her life but you�re not at all sorry?� She recalled how Joanne couldn�t forget about Quinton even when she was on the verge of death.

For the first time, Renee saw her brother as a monster. Even though they were siblings, he was the worst kind of scum.

�Do you know that she was still thinking about you even on the verge of death? The person she wanted to see one last time was still you� You hurt her so badly, but she still couldn�t forget about you. You�re so cruel and heartless� you don�t deserve her love at all!� Renee sobbed as she spoke.

She never imagined that she would say such hurtful words to her own beloved brother. Quinton staggered slightly, and his eyes shone with pain.

�Cruel and heartless? Is� that what you think of me?� Renee wiped her tears away.

�I�m sorry, I didn�t mean that. I just feel that you and Joanne shouldn�t have fallen out with each other. If you were different back then and let her keep her child, maybe now��

�There is no maybe!� Quinton gripped the railing on the balcony, his gaze cold.

�Joanne is dead, so your words are meaningless. It�s too late even if I regret it.�

Renee�s eyes lit up when she heard this.

Believing Quinton and Joanne could reconcile, she asked tentatively, �Quinton, are you serious? Do you regret it too?� Quinton remained silent, neither admitting or denying it.

He did not know if he regretted it or not, but he had to admit that he never forgot about Joanne during all those years even though he prohibited others from mentioning her in front of him.

Of course, he suffered a lot living the way he did throughout the years.

�What if I say that Joanne� is still alive? What would you do? � Renee swallowed slightly and observed Quinton�s expression carefully.

Quinton turned to stare straight at Renee, and asked sharply, �Are you saying that Joanne is still alive?�

�No, I�m not. I�m just asking you about the possibility. What would you do if she�s still alive?�

�I don�t know.� Quinton shook his head and smiled bitterly. �After all, she won�t forgive me. I�d better��

�What would you rather do?� Renee eagerly asked.

However, Quinton stopped dwelling on it, and said cryptically, �It depends on whether she�s alive or not.�

�She�� At first, Renee wanted to tell him that Joanne was still alive, but then she remembered Stefan�s reminder and went silent. Quinton noticed the change in her expression and chuckled.

�She�s still alive, isn�t she? But you see me as a wicked demon now, so you�re worried I�ll do something to her, right?�

�Well, will you?� Renee asked cautiously.

�I can�t guarantee you anything,� Quinton said honestly.

He couldn�t tell if he was a good man or a demon, and he didn�t want to lie to his sister, so he made no promises.

�Tell me what should I do for you to end your fight with Stefan. What will it take for you both to stop fighting each other?� It was what Renee wanted the most.

If only they could forget about their hatred and cooperate with each other to achieve a win-win solution. JrNovels.com
