Chapter 959
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Finally, Stefan had a mental breakdown.
No matter how strong his heart was, how could he convince himself to face such a hard truth?
âThatâs all I wanted to say. Your body is clear of snake venom now. My boss is a man of his word. Soon someone will take you back to the Hunt family. Take care.â
After that, Chase gave Stefan a firm bow full of apology before he left the room.
After a long silence, Stefanâs crazy roars came from the room. He sounded like a wounded beast.
There was even the sound of things being smashed.
âRenee, youâre such a cruel monster!â
Standing not far away from the room, Chase rubbed his fingers together in a deep struggle.
Quinton was standing beside Chase with his head high and chest out.
He then cracked a satisfactory smile and nodded at Chase. âChase, you did a good job. So, it seems youâve made up for your faults with some contributions. Work hard at Carmine Pawnshop from now, and I wonât hold you responsible for what happened in the past.â
However, Chase was full of worry. He endlessly looked toward Stefanâs room and said in concern, âSir, Stefan seems to be too agitated. He hit and smashed things. Isnât it dangerous? After all, heâs a blind guy now. What if he steps on the broken pieces of the porcelainâ¦â
âDonât worry. Heâs a very cunning man. Heâs just venting his feelings. He wonât hurt himself.
Whatâs more⦠Iâll ask someone to give him a ride home. Nothing will happen to him.â Chase was at a loss for words.
He then lowered his head and heaved a long sigh. He appeared like he wanted to say something, but he dared not do so.
Consequently, Quintonâs eyes turned cold before he glared at Chase and uttered, âWhatâs wrong? You canât bear to do this, huh? Donât forget how cold-blooded he was back when he got rid of our Carmine Pawnshop. Youâre the only one left in The Three Musketeers. Are you grieving over your enemy?â
âNo, of course not!â
Chase hurriedly explained, âHe deserves to die. Sir, you let him off the hook. So, itâs considered his blessing. Of course, I wonât pity him. I just think thatâ¦â
âWhat do you think?â
âHeâs indeed despicable, but heâs sincere toward Miss Everheart, and so does Miss Everheart. You asked me to say such cruel words just now to sew discord between him and Miss Everheart. Will it⦠be bad for Miss Everheart?â Chase asked carefully.
Renee risked her life to save Stefan. When she woke up, she ran over to visit him, who was still in a coma.
However, Quinton asked Chase to distort the truth purposely and claim that Renee was a cruel and bad woman. Hence, Chase felt that it was too cruel for both Renee and Stefan.
âHumph! What do you know?â
Quinton always planned ahead. He explained, âI did this for my sisterâs sake. She wants to cut off all ties with this guy, so she needs some very extreme means. Iâm just granting her wish.
âActing on impulse would only harm her. Look at what she did this time! She knew that the water dungeon was full of venomous snakes, but she dived in just to save a traitor. Luckily, she was rescued.
We canât be sure if the same thing will happen again⦠Sheâll never be harmed if emotions and love are completely eliminated!â
âThatâs right. Getting rid of all emotions and love is the slogan you asked us to remember when you first established Carmine Pawnshop. Weâve been adhering to it for so many years. You even acted like a role model that was never in love. Thatâs why Carmine Pawnshop is so glorious. Maybe your method is indeed good for them.â
After dwelling on it for a while, Chase chose to side with Quinton. He even began convincing himself.
âHmm, never in loveâ¦â
Quinton rubbed his fingers together. His gaze slowly turned gloomy as his memories overwhelmed him.
He was once stubborn enough to fall in love. After that, he swore never to fall in love again.
That kind of thing was no different from poison. Once a person got in touch with it, one would be filled with deep pain. It was even fatal.
