Chapter 670
After leaving the kitchen area, Renee walked around Carmine Pawnshop with Chase following next to her. The man
warmly presented every single exhibition hall they had in the area.
"Miss Everheart, this is the Eastern Treasures Hall. It stores many internationally known treasures, such as
sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs, gilt jade seals, ancient jadeites...
"And this is the Western Treasures Hall. There's a scepter made of pure gold, a diamond crown, and even a
sculpture of Venus...
"And here is the Rare Findings Hall. Here, you will find the last sample of a Carolina Parakeet, a thousand-year-old
lucid ganoderma, and a ten- thousand-year-old amber..."

She was quite surprised to find the pawnshop holding such wealth. Any of the treasures they possessed could
definitely exceed an average company's yearly profit.
From a financial standpoint, Mr. Q was indeed quite a reliable candidate, as one would only need to enjoy life to the
fullest if he was willing to provide.
However, as Renee was a strong businesswoman herself, money wasn't something she would look for in a man,
and naturally wouldn't be tempted by such things.
"Chase, you can go back to your work. I'll just be looking around." Renee intentionally drove the man away so that
she had the chance to dig into any illegal affair within the pawnshop.
Chase wasn't cautious around her either, nodding. "Have fun then, Miss Everheart. If you'll excuse me..."
He took a few steps, then turned around all of a sudden with a mysterious expression. "Miss Everheart, we have a
forbidden zone within the pawnshop. If you see any 'Do Not Enter1 signs, I hope you can suppress your curiosity
and refrain yourself from entering. Else... you'd have to face serious consequences!"
After hearing this, Renee felt a wave of delight. 'Tsk tsk, this is exactly what I was waiting for!'
"Don't worry, I have a brain. I normally wouldn't trespass unless absolutely necessary."
"Good. I'll be off then."
After Chase left, Renee giggled to herself. "I normally wouldn't, but I, Renee Everheart, am not your average girl! I'll
trespass when you don't want me to so that I can reveal your boss' fake mask!"
At the same time, she was able to hear a woman’s weeping coming from a distance.
"A clue? So soon?!" Renee was thrilled for some reason, and she tiptoed in the direction of the voice.
As the sobbing grew louder, she arrived in front of a small room at the far end of the pawnshop.

The shabby door was covered in long strands of spiderwebs, along with a' Do Not Enter' sign hung in front of it.
"Let me go! I'm so sorry! Let me go, please!" The woman choked on her tears, banging on the door as hard as she
could. She sounded like she was in great distress.
Renee tore off the tape barricading the door without any hesitation.
"Who are you? What happened? Who locked you up in here?" Renee demanded through the door gap.
Oddly enough, the woman stopped crying the second she heard Renee's voice.
"Hey, say something! Don't be scared, I'm not with Carmine Pawnshop, I won't hurt you. In fact... I might be able to
save you!" Renee knocked on the door, trying her best to communicate.
However, what responded to her was dead silence.
"Did Mr. Q threaten you?" Renee narrowed her eyes, expressing righteousness. "I knew that guy wasn't a good
person! How could he be so sick in the head to have imprisoned a woman?! Adie and Abby have to stay away from
him, especially Abby! She's just so cute; who knows what that maniac is planning..."
