Chapter 567
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âMy condition is unique?â âYes, but please donât get mad at me for saying this.â
Renee took the risk of offending him by pointing to the mask on his face. âI heard your face was badly damaged in the fight with Master Hunt, and youâve been wearing a mask ever since. Youâve even sworn to kill anybody who has seen your face. I know it may be difficult since you are afraid of frightening people and being repulsive. But when youâre on that island, all those worries will be things of the past because you can take off your mask whenever you want. Nobody will be afraid of you, nor will they dislike you. Doesnât the island suit you completely?â
Mr. Q was at a loss for words when he heard this.
When Renee saw his confused feelings, she said, âYouâre enemies with Stefan, and so am I.â Because we are fighting the same adversary, I believe you should back me up. I need the money to fight H Group.â
âWho are you to do that?â
Mr. Q had clearly not taken her remarks seriously.
âWeâll just have to wait and see. I wouldnât have been able to tell you Iâd repurchase the island if I didnât believe I could defeat Stefan.â
Renee had everything planned out, else she would not have taken such a choice today.
âDo you hate Stefan?â he inquired.
She shrugged as she was taken aback by the inquiry. âI used to despise him, but not anymore. After allâ¦â
She intended to explain that she had let go of all her grudges against him after he died rescuing her, but she stopped herself when she realized that the Hunt family had yet to disclose Stefanâs death to the public.
However, there had previously been rumors about it, so she assumed Mr. Q was aware of it as well.
âThere is word that Stefan is dead. Itâs excellent that youâve let go of your animosity towards him.
Fighting with the dead, after all, is pointless.â
He hesitated for a while before saying, âI can buy your island, but whether itâs worth 1.5 billion, Iâll have to be the judge of that.â
She paused for a while before nodding and consenting. âSure!â
After all, she was on her way to pick up Abby and Margaret.
âLetâs make some plans and get going,â Mr. Q replied quietly.
âAre we leaving right now?â She suspected that something was amiss with the agreementâs seamless execution.
âWhy? Do you agree?â
âNo. I simply didnât expect things to go that swiftly and smoothly.â
In the expectation that it would be way more difficult to convince Mr. Q, she requested Leiaâs assistance to care for Adie for another half-month.
âDidnât you say you needed money? Isnât it better if we get things done quickly?â
âYes. That is true!â
Renee nodded appreciatively. She was on the verge of dropping down to her knees and thanking him.
âWhoever nicknamed Mr. Q as Night Demon was obviously lying. Heâs a deity who gives me hope!â she thought joyfully.
She began to wonder whether the price of 1.5 billion was too low since Mr. Q agreed to it so soon.
It left her at a loss, having a strange urge to make up for the money she mightâve lost.
Then she feigned to be perplexed by the Snow Before the Shepherd Boy. âIs this the well-known painting by Dost Wurst? Is it genuine or a forgery?â
âDo you think Iâll hang a fake painting on my wall?â
âWow, thatâs incredible! My father used to enjoy Dost Wurst, and Iâve been seeking this piece for a long timeâ¦â
âIf you like it, Iâll ask Chase to wrap it up for you.
