“Who’s there?” Chase immediately started struggling in his attacker’s grip, and elbowed the


    person hard.


    “Calm down, it’s just me.” Renee awkwardly removed her hand from the man’s eyes and


    rubbed her aching stomach.” I was just messing with you! I didn’t expect that you’d be so


    skilled at martial arts-that elbow of yours nearly killed me!”


    “Oh, it’s you, Miss Everheart! I’m so sorry, please punish me as you see fit.” Chase lowered


    his head guiltily, about to kneel. He was wearing a white suit, which made him look gentle


    and elegant.


    “Please don’t. You don’t have to be so careful in front of me, I’m not like my brother.” Renee


    nced at Quinton’s bedroom, then quietly asked, “Is my brother asleep?”


    “Yes, Miss Everheart.”


    “Let’s go and grab a bite then.”


    “Miss Everheart, we can’t. You’re my superior, so how-”


    “Chase, I told you before that I’m not my brother. Let’s go.” Renee dragged him to a street


    nearby that was full of hawker stalls.


    “Sir, we’d like to order burgers, chips, and two dozen beers!” She casually shouted at the


    owner who was busy cooking.


    “Sure, please wait a moment,” the man called back while tending to his stove.


    This was the messiest and most chaotic ce in Beach City. Many gangsters frequented


    the ce, and the ce was always crowded until dawn. People were ying drinking


    games, clinking their sses, and cursing


    endlessly. The atmosphere was wild, lively, and very inviting.


    Chase was rather rigid at first, being polite and respectful to Renee. However, after a few


    beers, he started to rx and open up. “Miss Everheart, let me be frank with you… I’ve been


    wanting to eat here for many years, but as the main attendant of Carmine Pawnshop, I was


    hesitant to do so. You’ve helped me fulfil my wish today, and I’m very grateful forthat.”


    “Heh, you tter me. Just tell me if you want to eat this kind of food next time. Ignore my


    brother; if he dares to scold you, I’ll scold him back on your behalf!” Renee dered.


    “Haha! Miss Everheart, you’re so nice. Although you’re my boss’ sister, you’re both so


    different. He leads a very


    conservative life, which is really quite pitiful.” Chase took a sip of his beer, staring off into the


    distance sadly.


    When Renee saw Chase let down his guard, she carefully asked, “Chase, I heard from my


    brother that you were the one who founded his business with him. Both of you came out of
