Chapter 1240
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Renee frowned.
âQuinton, the Baldwin family is powerful, and Haze is a very cunning man.
If we cooperate with them, well definitely suffer a great loss.â âHow could you say that?â Quinton turned to Justin appreciatively.
âMaybe you donât know this, but though the Baldwin family invests eighty percent, they only take twenty percent of the profit and let us have the remaining eighty percent.
No one else would be willing to do that, so of course itâs not a loss for us!â âUmmâ¦â Reneeâs confidence dwindled, and she couldnât help but whisper to Haze, âDid you really spend that much?â
Haze grinned and whispered back, âOf course! My familyâs willing to go that far as long as you marry me.â Renee was speechless.
She looked around, unsure of what to do.
It was already hard enough to ask Quinton to cooperate with Stefan, but now the Baldwin family had appeared and promised them a great profit.
Her dream of the Everhearts cooperating with the Hunts seemed impossible at this point.
After dwelling on it for a long time, she forced herself to compromise.
âFine, we can cooperate with the Baldwin family.
But Quinton, you should reconcile with Stefan and let bygones be bygones.
Iâm not asking for much.
Even if we canât cooperate with the Hunt family, we should at least not fight against them.
Itâs what our family would have wanted- we canât be enemies with the Hunts!â However, Quinton refused to back down.
âIf Dad and Mom knew what Stefan did to me, they would put that aside.
Grandpa was a general, so of course he wouldnât want to see his descendants be bullied by others.
Not only was my face ruined, the Everheart familyâs dignity was destroyed too.
If they were still alive, do you think they would let me suffer in silence?â âAgreed!â Haze eagerly added fuel to the fire.
âBoth the Everheart and Baldwin families are the descendants of generals, so weâre bound by moral integrity.
Weâre not as coward ly as the Hunt family who went into business instead of war.
Theyâre cunning people, and if you go easy on them, theyâll definitely turn on you in the future.â âShut up, Haze!â Renee turned around and glared at Haze fiercely.
âYou know nothing, so stop trying to sow discord here.
Do you know what my brother experienced? Do you know how painful it is for him to be so full of hatred? You only want us to fight against the Hunt family so you can take advantage of it, donât you?â
âUmm⦠Iâll shut up and let you guys talk.â Haze hunched in a corner weakly.
As an outsider, he felt that there was an undercurrent surging between the siblings.
A storm was coming, so it was only wise that he retreat before it hit.
âI donât care what you thinkâitâs impossible for me to reconcile with Stefan.
If making you pick sides puts you in a dilemma, Iâll be considerate.
Iâll cut off my relationship with you and assume that we had never been reunited with each other.
From then on, well have nothing to do with each other!â Quinton refused to compromise.
He had faced too many hardships and lost too much, so he could not afford to be soft-hearted at such a critical moment.
