"Would you really do that?” Renee's eyes were wide and watery. She never expected that Quinton would give her

up for the sake of revenge, even though she would have done anything for him.

Of course she was hurt, but she knew he was only like this because of his past. She couldn't help but feel sorry for

him. "Quinton, I know you only said such things because you're blinded by your hatred. I won't take it to heart. Both

you and I need a few days to calm down, and after that, I think we can find a solution."

After that, she went downstairs alone.

"Ah, Phoenix..." When Haze saw her leave sadly, he sighed deeply. He paused briefly, then went after her.

However, Renee did not go far. She went to the large pagoda tree in the yard and sat on the swing, swinging back

and forth sadly. The chilly night breeze caused flowers to fall off the tree one by one, and they stuck to her hair and

lips. It was a rather enchanting scene.

She then looked up at the starry sky and recalled her childhood. Both her father and grandfather would sit on the

rattan chairs playing chess, while her mother would pick fresh roses and peonies to put into a porcelain vase. Cutie

would walk around her mother’s feet, keeping her company. Renee felt like she could still hear her family's happy

laughter.

How did things turn out this way?

"Dad, Mom, are you guys okay?" Renee leaned her head against the rope of the swing as tears filled her eyes. They

slowly rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed. "Did I make a mistake? I was only seeing things my way and wanted a

perfect ending and reconciliation, but I never considered Quinton's feelings. Maybe deep down, I'm biased...’

"Yes, you are!' Haze's voice rang out suddenly from behind her. He had been standing there and observing her for a

long time. At first, he did not want to disturb her private time, but when he heard her words, he was worried that

she might blame herself. Hence, he stepped forward to snap her out of her thoughts.

Even if she despised him, at least she would not be so sad or lonely.

"Haze, you pervert! Why were you eavesdropping on me?" Renee quickly wiped away her tears and glared at him

fiercely. She couldn't deny that she was angry at him. If he hadn't lured Quinton with his investment, Quinton might

have still considered cooperating with Stefan for the sake of profit. If the two families ever decided to cooperate

with each other, they would be in the same boat even if they did not earn money. They wouldn't be fighting all the

time, and she would finally be at ease.

"Well, you spoke so loudly. Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose to attract my attention?’ Haze lifted his chin with

a smirk, then said arrogantly, "After all, it's a piece of cake for me to charm thousands of women, let alone you."

"Eww!" Renee pretended to vomit. "Well, thank you. I haven't eaten yet, but you made me lose my appetite."

"Phoenix, when did you get so good at insulting people?"

"Keep talking and it'll only get better."
