Chapter 1194
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Joanne clenched her fists so tightly that her long fingernails dug deep into her palms. âIt depends on who the angel meets. If an angel meets another angel, then itâll be heaven. But if the angel meets a demon, itâll go to hell⦠He was the one who sent me there!â
âMiss, you⦠Wait a minuteâ¦â Reneeâs mind was a mess. Feeling bewildered, she asked Joanne in confusion, âYou betrayed him and stabbed him, but you also said that he was a demon who pulled you down to hell⦠Is that right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â Joanne nodded vigorously, unashamed of what she had done.
âWell, youâre being unreasonable. How can you shift the blame to him?â Renee argued.
âWhat do you know? No one knows about my past with him, so none of you know how he dragged me to hell.â
âDo you mind telling me then? It seems like both of you are troubled by something⦠maybe I can help?â Renee felt that the woman she had heard about was not that unreasonable and ruthless. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.
âWho the hell are you? Why should I tell you my secret?â Joanne narrowed her eyes at Renee. Ever since Renee mentioned Quinton, she had been suspicious of her.
âIâmâ¦â At first, Renee wanted to say that she was Quintonâs sister, but after seeing how much Joanne hated him, that seemed like a bad idea. âIâm Liamâs girlfriend. Iâm here to save you, so I need you to trust me. Tell me your story.â
âLiamâs girlfriend?â Joanne sat up straight and tried to see Reneeâs face in the dim light. She sounded very envious. âSo, youâre the first love that Liam yearned for. I wonder how charming you are to make a man love you so deeply. Unfortunately, weâre in the dungeon, so I canât really see youâ¦â
âAhâ¦â Renee touched her hair awkwardly, secretly cursing Liam and how talkative he was.
Why did he tell everyone his story? So much for wanting to travel the world-it felt more like he just wanted to go around and tell people about his love life!
âYeah, itâs not easy to be with him. When he came back, he told me that it was because of your help that he was able to escape from the red-light district, and decided to become a committed man. So, he wonât stand by and do nothing either since youâre in trouble now.â
âI know that heâs a loyal friend. He managed to leave this fort back then by paying a heavy priceâ¦â Joanne heaved a long sigh and shook her head.â Heâs so silly. How dumb! He shouldnât have come back just to save me⦠A person like me doesnât deserve such kindness.â
âDonât say that! I believe that youâre an angel. You might have made a mistake, but Iâm sure you have your reasons. Iâll try to take you back to Beach City so you can talk it out with Night Demon and resolve the issue between the both of you,â Renee said quickly, becoming slightly impatient.
This made Joanne doubtful. She frowned and said, âYou claim that youâre Liamâs girlfriend, but you canât stop bringing up my brother. Whatâs your relationship with him?â
âI⦠I amâ¦â Renee did not know if she should tell the truth.
âItâs okay, I donât really care. I donât want to have anything to do with him. Whatâs more, I wonât leave this place. Iâm as good as dead.â After that, Joanne closed her eyes and leaned against the wall in despair.
