Renee’s words piqued Liam’s curiosity.


    “Key figure?” Liam rubbed his chin and closer toward the woman with an intrigued


    expression. “Keep going.”


    Renee rolled her eyes at him and mindlessly scrolled through the webpage, her expression


    nk. “My brother doesn’t only hate Stefan for destroying his face, but also for making his


    most trusted person betray him. She used to be the light of his life, but she betrayed him for


    Stefan and stabbed him in the gut.”


    “That’s when my brother lost all morality. And well… How do I say this? He takes things to


    the extreme now.”


    “Yeah, he is pretty extreme.” Liam nodded in agreement. “No wonder I felt a sense of


    empathy when I first saw him. I knew he had hurt the same way I did, for love.”


    Renee rolled her eyes again. ’For love? Since when? Oh, stop ying the victim?”


    “Is it not miserable enough that I acted as a loyalpdog for almost a decade with no one to


    love me back?”


    The woman was speechless.


    “You might not know this, Boss, but people who have suffered from love trauma have


    piercing eyes. And Quinton is exactly that.”


    Renee didn’t want to pay him any more mind, as he was still as yful and as usual.


    However, she knew that there was some truth in his words.


    Quinton would always express love in a twisted and sinister way. It was as if his heart had


    been corroded by half at this point. She was worried that something bad would happen if


    she didn’t take action sooner to help relieve this resentment…


    As Renee looked through the trending topics, she suddenly noticed a photo of a beautiful


    girl sitting on the beach barefooted. She had silky ck hair, and her beauty was refreshing


    to the eye, as if she were truly a princess.


    The user who posted this photo also wrote the caption: [This is the love of the Night


    Demon’s life!]


    “Could she be Joanne Garcia?” Renee held her breath, excitedly zooming in on the picture


    over and over again.


    She could definitely understand her brother’s anger if this really were her. Having depended


    on each other for so long, the betrayal of this pretty princess was definitely enough to break


    anyone, especially when she betrayed him for some… man.


    ‘If I were Quinton, I wouldn’t just hold resentment against Stefan, I’d be willing to kill off the


    entire world out of heartache!’ she thought.


    “Joanne?” Liam was holding a cup of coffee when the photo on Renee’s screen caught his


    eye.


    “Why? Do you recognize her?”

    “Of course I do!” Liam continued staring at that photo, eximing in a high- pitched voice.


    “When I was on a trip to Cyndiano, I was tricked into selling my body in some red light


    district! Since I didn’t obey, they almost took my life! Joanne was the one who saved me!”


    “What… did you say?” Renee grabbed him by the shoulders and questioned further. “Look


    carefully, is this really her? Are you sure she is Joanne?”


    “Yeah, but we all call her Jo… she looks very different now. It’s like she’s apletely


    different person from this photo.”


    “Where is she now? Quick, let’s head out right now. I have to get her back!” Renee jumped


    up, seemingly excited to set off.


    “It’s best if you forget it. My master is very powerful, and I mean, very- powerful… At the


    time, he practically forced me into bing his godson and taught me so many skills. So I


    was able to witness his terrifying power first-hand. That only made me more certain that I


    needed to escape. And now you’re trying to take his princess away from him…”


    Liam couldn’t help cowering in fear. “At the very least, I wouldn’t dare to go back anymore.”


    “Then don’t, I’ll go myself. Give me the address.”


    Renee didn’t want to put Liam in a difficult position either, and she was confident that she


    could take one person back with her martial skills and agility.
