Xavier paused briefly and his yful smile turned stiff, but he admitted openly, “You’re really smart. I


    indeed like your sister so I don’t want to fall out with you or else I would have a thin chance of meeting


    her again.”


    “I know you are a hopeless romantic like Stefan who can betray your friends for the sake of a woman. If


    Stefan knows about this, I bet he will want to kill you.”


    Quinton smiled cryptically and continued. “Anyway, he might not be in the mood to care about this now,


    so it might be the best time for you to pursue my sister.”


    “What happened to Stefan… I mean, that scum… Isn’t he enjoying his life now with a beautiful woman


    in his arms? How can he be in a bad mood?”


    “Why are you so concerned about him now that you have betrayed him?”


    “No, I’m just curious about whether karma will find the bad guys.”


    “Rest assured, it will.”


    Looking at Quinton’s triumphant expression, Xavier knew that Stefan must be in some kind of trouble.


    Before he could ask about it, Renee pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen.


    “Xavier,e out. I need to talk to you for a second.”


    “Me?” Xavier felt a bit surprised and nervous when he looked at the domineering woman.


    “Yeah, you. Come with me.” Renee waved at the man and went out without leaving him a chance to


    refuse.


    “Um, Brother, I…” Xavier turned to Quinton to ask for permission.


    “Just go. You won’t be able to get her anyway,” said Quinton dismissively as he waved his hand.


    As far as he was concerned, all the men in the world, except Stefan, had no ability to move her sister’s


    heart, so it was totally unnecessary to guard her from other men. They were just wasting their efforts.


    On the contrary, he could make use of them.


    Xavier was Stefan’s best friend, so no one knew Stefan’s weaknesses better than him.


    Renee and Xavier arrived at a quiet and dark corner of the backyard of Carmine Pawnshop. No one


    woulde here unless he was being punished.


    “There’s no one here, so why don’t you tell me what it is you want?” Renee asked Xavier, her arms


    crossed over her chest.


    “What? Damn, you and your brother are truly biological siblings, you both are so vigorous,” mocked


    Xavier, smiling.


    “Stop changing the subject. What do you think I’m asking you? I’m asking about you and my bestie!”


    “Oh, her…” Xavier’s yful smile faded and he said nonchntly, “Nothing. I was just messing around


    with her like friends do.”


    “Friends?” Renee exploded and punched him. “Do you think you’re a school kid? Messing around with


    a friend? Tell me now: do you like her?”

    “Yes, I do. I like her, I like you, and I like every beautiful woman in this world. I like to joke with them,


    what’s wrong with that?”
