Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159

In reality, Renee was hoping to get Stefan to make peace with Quinton-even if Stefan did not extend an olive

branch.

Their families had been allies for three generations, and their grandfathers were practically brothers who

supported each other for years-they certainly would not want them to turn against each other.

Quinton was too impulsive and radical-he would inevitably upset many, and they would certainly come seeking

revenge. However, if Quinton allied himself with the Hunt family, those enemies would have to be wary of both

families, which spared them a lot of unnecessary conflict.

To put it roughly... Renee was helping her brother get a sugar daddy.

If the day came when she was not around or something bad happened, at least he would not be alone and helpless.

"Consider it, Quinton. If there are no issues, we can talk to him about the finer details next Wednesday," Renee said

earnestly, hoping that Quinton would say yes.

Quinton, however, snorted coolly, the look behind his mask becoming troubled. "You're being naive, Renee. A

grudge is not so easily forgotten-it's just like the scars on my face, lingering despite having healed, and a constant

reminder of the humiliation I suffered. Anyone who forgets to hate is quite simply... spineless."

He took off his mask when he finished speaking, revealing the gruesome scars that stretched across his face like

lightning under the bright white lights overhead.

"Quinton..." Renee frowned, her heart breaking.

"He reduced me to a dog's life, a shadow of the man that I was... and now, you want me to shake hands and make

peace just because you told me too? Aren't you getting conceited?" Quinton sneered. No one understood how he

survived all those years—he was fundamentally unkind, so ' love and peace' was just too difficult for him to even

pretend. Moreover, Quinton could tell that Renee still loved Stefan, but that would not stop him from being Stefan’s

enemy.

"I know you're still in love with him, so you have my word that I won't kill him no matter how bad our rivalry gets.

But this is business-it's a dog-eat-dog world, so I'm not going to hold back!"

"I know you've been enemies with Stefan for a while, and asking for a partnership now is difficult for you, but you

don't have to worry—I will try to get him to make amends. As long as he is sincere enough, I'm sure that you will

become friends one day. It's what our parents and grandfather would have wanted to see."

With three generations of friendship, the best outcome would be for it to continue.

"That's not going to happen. The grudge between me and Stefan is far from that." Quinton's fists clenched, his gaze

becoming distant. There was so much he never told Renee- not murdering Stefan was already the limit of his

mercy.

Renee became curious then, and asked carefully, "What else happened between you and him? What don't I know?"

They should be even after Stefan disfigured Quinton, and Quinton blinded Stefan. She had no idea what could have

fueled such hatred in Quinton.

"The less you know, the better." Quinton sighed, and turned to stride into the inner house. "I'm tired. I need some

rest after everything they put me through."

Renee stared at Quinton with melancholy as he left. It was clear that Quinton carried a terrible grudge, and she had

to bring him around.
