Chapter: 956

�Um�� Even though Chase was visibly unhappy, he didn�t dare disobey a direct order from his boss. He pulled out the key and opened the door.

�Watch out!� Renee stepped back instinctively with her two children. However, there was no movement inside the room for a long time.

�Don�t hide anymore. You�ve been clamoring to come out, so come on out and let Miss Everheart see how �bad� our boss really is,� Chase said, calling out into the room.

The lighting inside the room was poor, and it was impossible to see what was happening. Still, there was no movement even after Chase had spoken.

Then, Mr. Q spoke in a cold and threatening tone, �Come out!� Only then did a woman cautiously appear. The woman was dressed plainly, and her hair was messy. She was thin, and her sunken eye sockets made her look like a skeleton. However, she was much more presentable than Renee had imagined.

�W-who� are you?� Renee felt that the woman was a little familiar.

�You can leave now if you want, but don�t come crying to us for help when you have nowhere to go!� Chase said as he glared at the woman angrily, feeling both pity and fury at her.

�I remember now! You�re that con artist I met before!� Renee exclaimed, pointing at the woman as the realization struck her.

The woman looked at Renee and then lowered her head. Choking back tears, she said, �I�m sorry, Mr. Q. I was wrong. Thank you for giving me a chance to turn my life around. I thought about it and decided to continue staying in this room. I don�t want to leave!�

Seeing the woman about to return to the small dark room, Renee quickly stopped her and said, �This guy must have threatened you, so you�re afraid to resist, right? Don�t be scared. I�ll help you! I�ll make sure he faces legal consequences for his crimes!�

Since things have reached this point, Renee naturally wouldn�t give up on the chance to expose Mr. Q�s true colors.

�Legal consequences?� The woman looked up with an incredulous expression. �Mr. Q is such a good person! How could he have committed any crimes? If not for him, I would have died long ago, and my son would have starved to death. It was my fault for stealing from his pawnshop, but he didn�t punish me. In fact, he saved me!�

�What?!� Renee looked at the woman in disbelief. She reached out to grasp her shoulders as if trying to give her strength. �I told you, you don�t have to be afraid. He�s a bad person, and I need you to come forward to expose him. Otherwise, who knows what he�d do to my children!�

�But Mr. Q really isn�t a bad person. Although there are a lot of ugly rumors out there about him, they remain nothing but rumors! Those hypocrites tried to slander him� Don�t believe a word they say!�

�But if he�s so good, why did he lock you up in this small, dark room? Are you a masochist?!�

�Um�� The woman hesitated to speak as if she had difficulty expressing her thoughts.

�If you�re in any trouble, just let me know. I�ll shoulder the consequences for you. But if you insist on protecting a bad person, then I won�t care about you!�

Renee was a little angry when she saw how the pitiful woman so quickly shouldered the blame when she�d done nothing wrong.

It was precisely because of their weakness that the evil had become so rampant.

After all, it would �cost� nothing to be evil. JrNovels.com
