Before Stefan could answer, Renee snatched her phone back and said quickly, “It's getting late, Quinton. You'd
better go to bed!"
A sigh escaped Quinton. "You're protecting him again. It looks like you still haven't learned from your mistakes."
"I know what I'm doing. He and I have soldiered through a lot of hardships, and all I want to do now is lead a
peaceful life and take things one step at a time...” Renee was still devastated over the loss of her sight, and she felt
that if she couldn't follow her heart and spend the rest of her life with her beloved, her life would be as dark as her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtworld. She did not want to spend the rest of her life in misery.
"But you both can't live peacefully together, your identities have always prevented that from happening. I've found
some clues about the families who conspired to attack our family back then, and I feel like the enemies we're going
to face will be stronger than anyone we've ever encountered.” Quinton's voice grew more solemn. Generally, he
disliked talking about bad things, and he was reluctant to discuss their revenge with Renee because he didn't want
to ruin her mood.
However, he had been feeling lonely and sad while working days and nights at sea, and he wanted to confide in
someone.
"Really? Which families were it? How could they kick us when we were down? We can't let them off the hook!”
Renee
Renee protested agitatedly, clenching her fists. She was blind, but she wasn't hopeless. She would risk her life to
make her enemies pay if she found the murderer who killed her parents and ruined her family.
"It's... complicated. Maybe Stefan has the right to know too. I'll tell you when I get home,” Quinton said hesitantly,
not wanting to expose the truth.
"Stefan? Is it related to the Hunt family?" Renee's heart pounded in her chest. If the destruction of the Everheart
family was related to the Hunt family, she wouldn't be able to accept it. Stefan's relationship with her aside, their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrandfathers were good friends and allies, so their families shouldn't be enemies. Maybe the fortune teller was right
—maybe she and Stefan were just incompatible, and they'd face many obstacles if they were together.
“Calm down. Yes, it's related to the Hunt family, but it's not what you think. I wouldn't have spoken to Stefan that
calmly otherwise,” Quinton said, trying to reassure Renee.
"So the Hunt family didn't attack us when the Baldwin did?” Renee asked instantly.
"Of course not. The friendship between the Hunt and Everheart families was stronger than we thought. You'll know
the truth when I come home.” Quinton had discovered a lot of things, and it involved a lot of families. It could not
be explained in a word or two, and he wanted to tell her in detail face-to-face.
"Okay, I'm not worried then,” Renee said, letting out a sigh of sigh of relief. The thing she had feared the most was
facing Stefan if his family had been involved in the attack on the Everhearts.
