The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1257
Renee saw a dark red jelly-like thing in the box that resembled a mushroom. Although Renee didn’t know what it was, she
couldn't tear her gaze away from it.
"That item is an ancient mushroom. Generally, it's very rare to find a thousand-year-old mushroom, and even if you do, most of
them are white. But this is a ten-thousand-year-old mushroom, so it's dark red. It's said to be able to bring people back to life, so
many noble families around the world would pay any price to get it to live longer. I didn't expect it to be here in Carmine
Pawnshop though... Well, it's certainly the most valuable treasure in this shop,’ Haze elaborated enthusiastically. He liked
studying codes and reading books about treasures, so he was happy he managed to see such a rare item today.
"Wow, Quinton, you're pretty generous. You spent a fortune because of your sister. I'm afraid all men will come in pursuit of
Phoenix if you announce this as her dowry... I must get her for this mushroom alone!" Haze said jokingly.
"Very funny!’ Renee shot Haze a fierce look then stared down at the mushroom in awe.
"Quinton, it's too much. You should keep it if it's the most valuable treasure here. It's a waste if you give it to me," she said
hesitantly. A valuable item like that should be kept in the right place. Carmine Pawnshop was equipped with great security and
exceptional skills in storing things; it was the best place to store such a treasure.
Quinton waved his hand dismissively. "I told you already that Carmine Pawnshop owns a lot of treasures, so giving you one of
them is fine. Keep it safe. If anyone gets sick in the future, it may be of use."
"But Quinton, I..."
"Just take it. You're my sister-you'll have all my belongings in the end anyway. I just chose to give this to you in advance. I... want
to apologize for the harsh words I said to you before. If you don't take it, I'll assume you haven't forgiven me, and we're still going
to be arguing,' Quinton said seriously. He was a male chauvinist who would never admit to his mistakes, and Renee was the first
person he had apologized to. He had even given her a gift to make it up to her; hee truly valued their sibling relationship.
"Oh, okay. I'll take it then. Thank you, Quinton." Renee was greatly moved, and tears filled her eyes. "I'm sorry, Quinton. You're
so nice to me, but I ignored you and angered you for the past few days... I'm so bad!"
"No, I was the bad guy here! I'm a man and your brother, but I acted like a child and argued with you. I was wrong. Whoever you
favor is your choice- I shouldn't have forced my opinions on you and scolded you," Quinton admitted.

Haze was moved by their sincerity, but couldn’t help but day cheekily, "Both of you made a mistake, so you should just slap each
other once and move on."
Both Renee and Quinton turned to glare at him at the same time. "I think it would be better to slap you instead."
"Err... forget what I said."
