Chapter 1193

Renee was held by armed guards and pushed into a remote place in the fort that was surrounded by a lot of

guards.

"How dare you offend Mr. Jenkins’ If not for Mr. Osborne, your tongue would have been cut off by now! Stay in there

and reflect on yourself." The guard fiercely pushed her into a small, dark room, which was the so-called dungeon.

The door was closed again, and Renee felt her throat tighten in the tiny room, like she was being strangled.

"Who's there?" There was movement in the furthest corner, and Renee immediately realised there was someone

else in the dungeon with her.

"You're new here?" The person leaned back against the wall and stared at Renee. Renee couldn't make her features

out in the dark, but her voice was eerily toneless.

Renee frowned and asked tentatively, "Could you be... Joanne?" She vaguely heard that Joanne was locked up in the

dungeon too. Besides, there were practically no women around, so it was very likely that this person was Joanne.

"You're new here, but you know me. You don't seem like the average person." There was a hint of teasing in

Joanne's flat voice. She figured Renee had to be special for her to be locked up in here too.

"You're Joanne?" Renee rushed to the woman and said happily, "That's great! I didn't expect to see you so soon!"

"Hey, back off! I don't know you, so stop acting so pally," Joanne snapped, immediately on guard. She had been

hurt so many times before that she never let down her guard in front of anyone.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me. You should... You should know the boss of Carmine Pawnshop, right?

Quinton, who's called Night Demon?"

"Brother..." Joanne's aloof voice softened slightly, and she sounded like a lost little girl.

"Yes, he was once the brother you loved the most, but you betrayed him. I'm glad you still know who he is!" Renee

clenched her fists to calm herself, and refrained from cursing this woman who repaid Quinton's kindness with

betrayal.

"Brother... I did do him wrong, but what would you know about that?" Joanne gritted her teeth and said, "I would do

it again if I had the chance! In fact, I would have killed him!'

"W-What did you say?" Renee was shocked, not expecting such a reaction from Joanne. She thought that Joanne

must have been in a situation where she was forced to stab Quinton, but unexpectedly...

"Can you tell me what Night Demon did to make you hate him so much? You guys were on good terms in the past,

and you were always the angel who protected him and kept him company. Why did you-" "Hmph, angel?"
