Renee ultimately failed to obtain any additional information from Quinton.
“Fine. If you’re not going to tell me, I’ll just have to figure it out myself!” She stated obstinately.
She had always assumed that the Everheart family’s downfall was due to commercial rivalry, which led them to
bankruptcy. She had always blamed it on society.
But suddenly, there was a legitimate explanation behind it. Quinton’s past, the Everheart family’s bankruptcy, and
even the loss of her parents were not as simple as she had imagined.
“Silly girl, if you want to find out for yourself, you can. Just don’t be too depressed when you do…”
He sighed while his skillful hands prepared the food. “The closer you are to the truth, the more hurt it will bring.”
“No, I disagree. It hurt the most to be lied to and treated like an idiot. I’m almost 30, not a fragile flower that needs

Renee’s eyes were filled with passion, and she stated firmly, “Besides, I’m not a flower!”
Quinton was nearly through with his preparation for dinner when Renee began acting suspiciously.
“Quinton, wait for me for a while. I wish to invite a guest to join us. Is that okay?”
Quinton grimaced and scoffed at the suggestion. “This is our first meal together. Why are you inviting unimportant
people?”
“No. They’re very vital to the Everhearts. Maybe they’ll tell us what happened before.”
“In that case, I’d be delighted to invite them over. Go swiftly and come back.”
The restaurant of Carmine Pawnshop was themed like the Elizabethan period. The vermilion dining table and chairs
and the ink drawings on the walls symbolize grandeur and elegance beneath the gentle light.
Quinton had prepared a variety of delicious foods on the circular table.
He sat on the main seat, momentarily checking his watch as his frustration gradually increased with the waiting.
‘Could it be that she dislikes me and made up an excuse to run away?’ he pondered.
“Men, go and see if my sister is back. If she hasn’t returned, think of a means to get her back to me quickly!” His
face was tense as he commanded his subordinate.
He was wearing his famous black and white face mask. Even so, it couldn’t hide his perfectly outlined lips and
jawline.
Even though he grew up in a small fishing village, Quinton had a charming face that people around him admired,

It wasn’t an exaggeration to claim that if he hadn’t founded Carmine Pawnshop, he could still earn handsomely with

However, it was a shame that his lovely face had been ruined. The twisted scar extended from the corner of his left
eye to the corner of his right lip. It was like a mark of his trangressions, burning away the last bit of good he had in
his heart.
Renee was his only hope for redemption, so he was understandably concerned about her.
When his subordinates went through the door and saw Renee with an older lady, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“Miss Everheart, you’ve returned. The boss is about to cause carnage if you hadn’t!”
“Carnage?”
Renee thought it was amusing, unable to connect the image of Quinton in an apron to the word carnage. “Is he that
dramatic?” she asked, laughing.
“We can’t say for sure, Miss Everheart. You’ll realize it in the future. Please hurry to the restaurant!”
“Margaret, mind your step,” Renee warned as she proceeded to the restaurant.
