Chapter 1352

Quinton reminded Yulia of Eleanor Cruz, Quinton's mother, and it broke Yulia's heart. Yulia felt that the accident

might not have happened if she had spent more time with Eleanor back then.

"Everyone, today’s a reunion, and it's a happy event. Let's not make it so tense. Before we plan anything, we should

feast first!" Renee exclaimed cheerfully, quickly leading everyone to their seats. She felt that even if they wanted to

take revenge, they should be rational about it. Eventually, everyone stopped bringing up the past and started

enjoying the food.

"Well, I think we should make an announcement to all the people in Beach City that the eldest son of the Everheart

family has returned. We can make it a grand ceremony, and I'll even invite all the noble families to it!" Renee

you?" Renee asked him, face flushed as she let out a burp. She tried her best to make him happy, but always felt

bitterly. "No, she probably wouldn't be. She resented me, so why would she be happy for me?"

Renee's heart ached for him, and she asked tentatively," Umm... Is that person Joanne?"
