Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 503

Chapter 503

Renee had led a reclusive life in the past few years and focused on her experiments at Sun Island. She was

oblivious to the outside world and naturally did not know about Mr. Q's story.

She was a little frightened to hear about the mysterious Mr. Q from Liam and quickly pulled Adie aside to check on

him carefully. She asked nervously, "Did that Night Demon hurt you or do anything strange to you?"

"Nope. Mr. Q was nice to me. He gave me whatever I wanted. I asked him to work for you, and he agreed... But he's

a little busy lately. He said he had to go out of town. I'll arrange for you two to meet when he's free."

Adie crossed his arms, looking like a leader with everything under his control.

Renee furrowed her brows, still feeling puzzled. "It's so strange. Mr. Q is a powerful man. He even made a deal with

Briar. Why didn’t he hurt Adie? He even promised Adie to be my follower?!"

Liam thought it was not a big deal. He randomly guessed, "What else could it be? He must be impressed by Adie's

cuteness and can't bear to hurt him! Maybe he's just joking with the kid about being your follower. Don't take it too

seriously."

Renee shook her head. "No. I don't think it's that simple. He's definitely up to no good. We can't take it lightly."

"How should I put it? Carmine Pawnshop was notorious in their early years. They probably came by their enormous

wealth immorally back then, but they've slowed down and are ready to stop..."

Liam paused suddenly and remembered something. He added, "However, some suspected that the men from

Carmine Pawnshop were behind Tristan's murder. Carmine and the Hunt family have always been enemies. Four

years ago, Stefan almost died after a big conflict between them.

Carmine has slowed down since then. They still have a bad reputation but stopped doing things immorally."

Renee listened with a serious expression and fell into deep thought.

Could Mr. Q be related to Stefan's death?

Renee looked back at the laptop on her desk and let out a long sigh. If only she could hack into the Newrest police

file system and retrieve the details of the shooting case which led to Tristan's death. Would the truth come to light?

"Boss, don't overthink. Adie is back safe and sound. No matter his purpose, we don't have to fear him."

Liam looked at the worried Renee and consoled her again.

"Yeah. I worry too much." Renee rubbed her temple. She did not want to spend too much time on the matter. After

all, Stefan's life or death was none of her business. She just wanted her children to be safe.

Renee put the ruler away and looked at Adie's swollen hand with heartache. "Promise me. From now on, don't go

around without my permission, okay?"

Adie nodded. "I understand, Mommy. From now on, I'll ask for your permission before going anywhere. Don't be

angry anymore, okay?"

"Okay. Give me a kiss, and I won't stay mad." Renee pointed to her cheek.

"Ah. You can't be helped..."

Adie opened his hands and tiptoed, giving Renee a firm kiss. He ran his little hands along her head and coaxed her,

"Ren, be good. Don't be angry anymore, or I'll be sad."

Renee went speechless at Adie's actions.

The next few days, Renee kept herself busy with the Everheart Residence's redevelopment and Azure Group's

matter. It was as if Stefan's death was just a small chapter in her life. She simply ignored it without mentioning

anything about it
