Stefan snorted.


    "Did I say something wrong? You should know what kind of man your brother is." Like Renee, Stefan felt guilty toward Joanne too.


    If Joanne hadn''t told him about some ws in Carmine Pawnshop, he wouldn''t have defeated Quinton so quickly.


    Hunt Enterprise would not have made rapid progress, either.


    Unfortunately, Joanne was burdened because of that affair.


    She led a miserable life for many years, and was insulted by others.


    In short, Stefan was responsible for it too.


    Hence, he tried all means topensate her and hoped that she could lead a normal and stable life.


    However, Joanne''s stable lifested briefly before the crazy Quinton ruined it.


    Naturally, Stefan was furious.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    But he didn''t find fault with Quinton, given the rtionship between Renee and Quinton.


    "No, you got it wrong!" Renee eagerly tried to exin it for her and Quinton''s sake.


    "I sincerely take Joanne as my friend.


    I feel sorry for her to see her lead a bad life.


    I''m also doing my best topensate her for Quinton hurting her.


    "As for Quinton, he had learned his mistakes.


    Plus, he was a victim too.


    Although he held some grudges, he now hopes that Joanne can lead a better life.


    But he became quite difficult because of the kind of environment he grew up in.


    He didn''t know how to express himself." Renee knew her words were biased toward Quinton, but she was telling the truth.


    All Stefan saw was how extreme and insane Quinton was.


    He had not seen Quinton''s pain and helplessness in facing Joanne.


    "Compensate?" Stefan cracked a sneer as sharpness shone in his eyes.


    "It''ll be the bestpensation for her if you and Quinton stay far away from her.


    If your brother didn''t make a scene, things wouldn''t have ended up so serious.


    Joanne would be able to keep her job, too.


    She could still lead the kind of normal life she looked forward to." "What else can I say? Do you think that a normal life for Joanne is to keep hiding and refuse to care about anything or face any issue? " Renee snapped.


    She grew angrier as she spoke, and vented her fury on him.


    "Not everyone shares your thoughts.


    You think things would get better by avoiding and cutting off everything.


    I think Quinton is a thorn in Joanne''s heart.


    If she fails to resolve it, she''ll never get peace!" "So you know that he''s a horn for her.


    Then, you should control him and stop him from losing his mind," Stefan replied.


    Having said that, Stefan sat up straight and looked ahead icily.


    His words were harsh, but he was fine with being a bad guy if he could help Joanne.


    After all, Renee and Quinton already saw him as a bad guy.


    "Stefan, did I offend you? Do you


    have to say such nasty things You astvythings You have everything to do with the kind of misery my brother went through, but he forgave you for my sake.


    He''s not that easy to pick on!" Renee red at him as she bottled up her anger.


    She yearned to vent it out.


    She recalled her conversation with Quinton before she set off for the school.


    Quinton hated Stefan so much, he wanted to take revenge on thetter.


    Yet, he chose to endure it and forgive Stefan because it would be hard for tolbe stuck between them. ve

    On the contrary, Stefan faced no loss.


    He even seized Carmine Pawnshop for many years without paying anything in return.
