The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1162

"No, I was just a lackey. It was all because of my boss' great wisdom that Carmine Pawnshop became successful. You don't know how hard he worked back then. He was even dragged a few dozen metres from a car just to get an item his enemy had! He truly risked his life to establish Carmine Pawnshop bit by bit."

"I know he's always been a hard worker. I feel like a worthless piece of trash who muddles through life compared to him…" Renee admitted.

"You can't say that, Miss Everheart. You come from a totally different background. You're a rich, young lady that enjoyed luxury and led a worry-free life… but my boss was different. He couldn't even afford to eat when he was younger, and his foster parents used to abuse him. Only his sister was a bit nice to him, but at last, she also..." Chase stopped, realising he had said too much, then quickly continued, "In short, you can't blame him for being extreme. He's had to suffer his whole life just to survive."

"I know that he's suffered, we're all at the mercy of fate, after all. However, we've found each other now, so as his sister, I just hope he can let go of that stress and live a happier life. You see it, don't you? His hatred has blinded him to everything but revenge, and I'm afraid if he keeps challenging Stefan, something bad might happen one day..."

Renee sighed and leaned her head back to gulp down some more beer. "Stefan let my brother go this time, but he might not be as generous the next time. Honestly, I'm just wondering if there's a way for them to let bygones be bygones. It'll be for the best if they end their rivalry and become friends instead."

"Are you kidding?" Chase's eyes were practically bulging out of his head. "My boss holds a deep grudge against Stefan. Not killing each other is already generous, but you want them to become… friends? Even if there was an apocalypse and they were the only two people left on Earth, it wouldn't happen!"

"I don't know why Quinton hates Stefan so much, but I think it's more than just a conflict of interest. There has to be something that I'm unaware of, right?" Renee asked Chase bluntly, not wanting to beat around the bush any longer. In her opinion, Chase probably knew most of Quinton's secrets since he knew him the longest.

If Renee wanted to resolve the grudge between Quinton and Stefan, she had to find out what was troubling Quinton.
