Chapter 1165
"Hmph! Of course." Chase snorted in disdain. "He's just a sanctimonious and disloyal man who'll do anything to get
what he wants. He was so shameless that he even tricked and fooled a pure, naive girl! Even if he behaves
differently and does a lot of charity now, he can’t hide the fact that he's rotten to the core." Chase's opinion of
Stefan was similar to his opinion of Joanne-though he hated the man, he couldn't deny that he respected him very
much too.
After all, he had been Stefan's subordinate for four years at some point. During that time, the despicable man
seemed... not as despicable as Chase had thought. It was very conflicting.
"The light that saved him turned out to be a knife that stabbed him... Joanne's betrayal was a fatal blow to Quinton.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo wonder he hates Stefan so much!" After listening to Chase's explanation, Renee finally understood Quinton's
character.
A betrayal by the person you loved the most was the worst - it could turn even the most innocent person into a
monster.
Joanne and Stefan were the reason why Quinton was this way today. If it had happened to her, she might have
become more extreme than Quinton if the light she cherished became a poisonous snake that bit her. She would
have long hacked that person into pieces and gotten rid of them.
"I guess Joanne is the cause of my brother's bitterness and resentment. Maybe he can be saved if we find Joanne
and resolve the hatred between them. We can also put an end to the grudge he holds for Stefan..."
"It’s not that simple." Chase shook his head. "I also thought of that, but no one knows where Joanna is. Some people
said that she jumped into the sea after my brother, and others said that Stefan had killed her. Some even claimed
that she had been sold to the black market and was doing human shows. I hired a lot of people and used a lot of
connections to look for her, but I couldn't find her."
"It's fine. I have a way to find her." Renee sounded firm. She would pay any price as long as it could help her
brother be free of his hatred.
That night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Xavier, who had carried Leia out of a bar, was having a difficult time too.
"Let go of me! You're nothing but a scumbag who tricks female college students and gets them pregnant! I'm going
to expose your crimes so all the women in Beach City can see your true colours... If you don't let go of me, I'm
going to call the police. Help me! He's trying to kidnap me. Help me call the police!" Leia yelled, then slapped
Xavier's face and punched his stomach. It was unknown if Leia was truly drunk or if she was just pretending, but
they attracted a lot of attention.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Damn it! Woman, keep quiet. If you shout again, people will
think I'm a pervert and arrest me!" Xavier hissed in her ear and tried to cover her mouth, but she bit his hand hard.
Xavier howled in pain and was forced to let go of her.
After Leia regained her freedom, she ran onto the street haphazardly.
"Stop making a scene! It's late, how do you have so much energy?!" Xavier ran after her, gasping for breath. He
quickly realised that this woman could be very energetic if she wanted, even though she was always dispirited and
languid. He was quickly becoming exhausted.
"Don't come near me, you scumbag! You always upset me... I don't want to see you again! Get lost!" She turned
around and yelled at him with tears running down her cheeks. She was sober now, and was well aware of the fact
that Xavier was her drug. If she became addicted to it, it would definitely harm her.
Hence, she tried her best to suppress her desire and give him up even though she yearned to throw herself into his
arms and kiss him.
