“Hmph! Of course.” Chase snorted in disdain. “He’s just a sanctimonious and disloyal man


    who’ll do anything to get what he wants. He was so shameless that he even tricked and


    fooled a pure, naive girl! Even if he behaves differently and does a lot of charity now, he


    can’t hide the fact that he’s rotten to the core.” Chase’s opinion of Stefan was simr to his


    opinion of Joanne-though he hated the man, he couldn’t deny that he respected him very


    much too.


    After all, he had been Stefan’s subordinate for four years at some point. During that time,


    the despicable man seemed… not as despicable as Chase had thought. It was very


    conflicting.


    “The light that saved him turned out to be a knife that stabbed him… Joanne’s betrayal was


    a fatal blow to Quinton. No wonder he hates Stefan so much!” After listening to Chase’s


    exnation, Renee finally understood Quinton’s character.


    A betrayal by the person you loved the most was the worst – it could turn even the most


    innocent person into a monster.


    Joanne and Stefan were the reason why Quinton was this way today. If it had happened to


    her, she might have be more extreme than Quinton if the light she cherished became a


    poisonous snake that bit her. She would have long hacked that person into pieces and


    gotten rid of them.


    “I guess Joanne is the cause of my brother’s bitterness and resentment. Maybe he can be


    saved if we find Joanne and resolve the hatred between them. We can also put an end to


    the grudge he holds for Stefan…”


    “It’s not that simple.” Chase shook his head. “I also thought of that, but no one knows where


    Joanna is. Some people said that she jumped into the sea after my brother, and others said


    that Stefan had killed her. Some even imed that she had been sold to the ck market


    and was doing human shows. I hired a lot of people and used a lot of connections to look for


    her, but I couldn’t find her.”


    “It’s fine. I have a way to find her.” Renee sounded firm. She would pay any price as long as


    it could help her brother be free of his hatred.


    That night was destined to be a sleepless one.


    Xavier, who had carried Leia out of a bar, was having a difficult time too.


    “Let go of me! You’re nothing but a scumbag who tricks female college students and gets


    them pregnant! I’m going to expose your crimes so all the women in Beach City can see


    your true colours… If you don’t let go of me, I’m going to call the police. Help me! He’s trying


    to kidnap me. Help me call the police!” Leia yelled, then pped Xavier’s face and punched


    his stomach. It was unknown if Leia was truly drunk or if she was just pretending, but they


    attracted a lot of attention.


    “Damn it! Woman, keep quiet. If you shout again, people will


    think I’m a pervert and arrest me!” Xavier hissed in her ear and tried to cover her mouth, but


    she bit his hand hard.

    Xavier howled in pain and was forced to let go of her.


    After Leia regained her freedom, she ran onto the street haphazardly.


    “Stop making a scene! It’ste, how do you have so much energy?!” Xavier ran after her,


    gasping for breath. He quickly realised that this woman could be very energetic if she


    wanted, even though she was always dispirited andnguid. He was quickly bing


    exhausted.


    “Don’te near me, you scumbag! You always upset me… I don’t want to see you again!


    Get lost!” She turned around and yelled at him with tears running down her cheeks. She


    was sober now, and was well aware of the fact that Xavier was her drug. If she became


    addicted to it, it would definitely harm her.


    Hence, she tried her best to suppress her desire and give him up even though she yearned


    to throw herself into his arms and kiss him
