The Untouchable Ex Wife novel 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. No 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.
