Chapter 582

Mr. Q did not answer. Instead, he asked, “Who am I? Is that important? Have you developed any special feelings for me?”

“Nope!”

Renee got goosebumps. She explained, “I just feel very relaxed when I’m with you, like you’re an old friend. You’re different from what I’ve heard.”

“Since it’s not important, there’s no need to delve deeper into it. Strictly speaking, you and I are just a buyer and a seller. You give me the island, I give you the money. That’s it.”

‘That’s true.”

Renee nodded.

She must not have been thinking right. All he did was persuade her to take the medicine and play music for her, and that was enough to make her think that he was a kind person and lower her guard.

She was simply too naive!

Renee took a deep breath and secretly raised the wall around her heart a little higher. She asked Mr.

Q, ‘ What do you think of the island? When can we sign the contract, and more specifically, when can you transfer the money?”

Liam’s situation was urgent. She needed the money as soon as possible.

Mr. Q could not help smiling.

The woman changed her attitude so quickly.

A moment ago, it was “we’re like old friends”, but a moment later, it became “hurry up and pay me”.

“I like the island. I can transfer the money to your account anytime, but…”

He paused for a moment. He obviously had extra conditions.

Renee pursed her lips.

She knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly.

He was the “Night Demon”, the man who made Carmine Pawnshop what it was today. There was no way he would be that easy to deal with.

“What other conditions do you have? Let me know and I’ll try my best to fulfill them.”

“Are you sure?”

He looked her over from top to bottom with a meaningful expression.

Renee wrapped the blanket tighter around herself and said seriously, ‘Don’t get any funny ideas. I might need money, but I’m not that desperate.”

‘You’re overthinking again.”

He said calmly, “I have no interest in you, but I’ve taken a liking to your daughter… If you let her be my daughter, we can sign the contract right now and the money will be transferred to your account in an hour. What do you say?”

Renee instantly jumped to her feet and pointed at the man. “You pervert! So it’s my daughter you’re after! I knew there’s no way the Night Demon would be a good guy!”

‘You can live without a husband, but your children need a father. You one- sidedly deprived your children of the right to have a father. Don’t you think that’s too selfish?”

Renee was momentarily stumped by what the man said.

Because that was indeed an internal struggle she had had to deal with for four years.

“When Abby spoke her mind today, she already made it very clear. It’s not that your two children don’t want a father, they just don’t want to put any pressure on you, so they lie and say that having you is enough for them. But the fact is, they long for fatherly love. Why can’t you fulfill their wish?”

“I would if I could, but the role of a father is too important to a child. Not anyone could fulfill that role!”

‘That’s merely what you think. Have you ever asked the children what they think?”

Mr. Q sneered and said in a serious voice that carried a hint of sarcasm, ” Because the role is too important, you denied them the right to have a father? For four years, they never knew what it feels like to have a father!”

“What a great mother you are, so great that you can dictate their lives for them!” ‘Shut up!”
