The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1237
Renee's eyes grew wide as she retorted, "So, you want me to take your side? Does it mean that I can't stop you even if you want
to kill people? That I have to allow you to take innocent lives?"
"Isn't that what you should do?" Quinton grabbed Renee’s shoulders, his eyes wild. "We're siblings with the same blood running
in us. You're me, and I'm you; we're in the same boat. All I want to do is revive the Everheart family and take revenge for our
deceased parents. Shouldn't you support me?”
"I don't mind you wanting to revive the Everheart family, but there needs to be a limit. If we don't have principles, we'll be just like
those villains who destroyed our parents. Such a bloodstained path of revenge would never make our parents happy if they
knew."
"Well, what do you want me to do then?" Quinton punched the balcony hard, and his knuckles started to bleed. "Are you aware
of my past? If I was bound by limits, I would be long dead by now. I was able to crawl out of that demonic abyss because I was
cruder than others... That was how I gained my current position."
"Yes, I know you did all that to survive, but to use the same kind of methods with Joanne? She helped you, and was your shining
ray of hope, but you turned around and stabbed her in the back. Do you think it's okay?" Renee demanded.
"Stabbed her?" Quinton laughed coldly. "She was the one who stabbed me, sister dearest. I'm sure it was Stefan who told you
that... You say that you're on my side but you doubt everything I say and believe everything he says. Have you ever considered
my feelings?"
"Was it really a lie? Didn't you kill Joanne's family and force her to do things against her will? Didn't you abort her child?" Renee
cared about her relationship with Quinton very much, but she felt compassion for Joanne after hearing what she had been
through. "Joanne is so kind. If you didn't force her, she would never have done something so extreme."
"Yes, I killed her family because my foster parents and her brother were cruel beasts. If I didn't get rid of them, they would have
gotten rid of me. As for the fact that I aborted her child..." Quinton closed his eyes and gnashed his teeth. His lip curled as he
sneered, "I would never allow such an abomination to come into this world and ruin my life."
"You..." Renee's eyes widened in shock. She didn't expect Quinto to admit to it so easily without the slightest hint of remorse.
She shook her head sadly, unable to comprehend his thinking. "How could you say such a thing? Your life might be good now,
but what about Joanne's? You ruined her life but you're not at all sorry?"

She recalled how Joanne couldn't forget about Quinton even when she was on the verge of death. For the first time, Renee saw
her brother as a monster. Even though they were siblings, he was the worst kind of scum.
"Do you know that she was still thinking about you even on the verge of death? The person she wanted to see one last time was
still you... You hurt her so badly, but she still couldn't forget about you. You're so cruel and heartless... you don't deserve her love
at all!" Renee sobbed as she spoke. She never imagined that she would say such hurtful words to her own beloved brother.
Quinton staggered slightly, and his eyes shone with pain." Cruel and heartless? Is... that what you think of me?"
Renee wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just feel that you and Joanne shouldn't have fallen out with each
other. If you were different back then and let her keep her child, maybe now—"
"There is no maybe!" Quinton gripped the railing on the balcony, his gaze cold. "Joanne is dead, so your words are meaningless.
It's too late even if I regret it."
Renee's eyes lit up when she heard this. Believing Quinton and Joanne could reconcile, she asked tentatively, "Quinton, are you
serious? Do you regret it too?"
Quinton remained silent, neither admitting or denying it. He did not know if he regretted it or not, but he had to admit that he
never forgot about Joanne during all those years even though he prohibited others from mentioning her in front of him.
