The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2256

When she heard such aggressive words from Justin, Sophia immediately cleared her throat to stop him from talking.

However, Austin had no idea about the relationship between Renee and Water Dock. Instead of stopping, he sounded more indignant.

"That place is full of inhumane people, but I'm not from Beach City. If that place were here in North City, I would have gotten rid of it! It has harmed so many people..."

"Oh, Grandpa! Please stop talking!" Justin turned livid. He anxiously got up and tried to remedy the situation. "There are always good and bad people. You can't criticize them like they're the same."

"Nonsense!" Austin had been a soldier his whole life and was deeply self-righteous. He added angrily, "I'm not joking! People related to that place better don't come to North City. If they do, I'll kill them and make them repent their sins!"

Renee remained calm and indifferent. When Austin got tired from criticizing, she slowly looked up at him.

"Grandpa Baldwin, you're right. People related to that place are bad. Unfortunately, my brother has always been there. Maybe you've heard of Carmine Pawnshop. My brother is the owner. People call him Midnight Demon."

"What?"

Austin had grown thirsty from yelling so much, and was about to have some tea before he continued. In the meantime, Renee explained everything.

He spat out his tea, shocked beyond belief.

"Dad, I asked you to stop talking, but you didn't listen to me." Sophia grew helpless. Although she wanted to prevent the conflict from happening, she failed. She felt awkward.

"No..." Austin, bewildered, took a long time to take in the new information. He tried to confirm things with Renee. "So, you're saying that the infamous Midnight Demon is your brother and Maurice's grandson. His business is utterly cruel! How could he be... the heir of the Everheart family?"

Maurice was the most important person in the Golden Trio. Austin was his biggest fanboy and would always obey whatever Maurice said. He felt that Maurice's principle was the rule of the world.noveldrama

He admired Maurice the most, and regarded the latter as the guidance and mentor of his life. Unexpectedly, Maurice's grandson became an infamous and wicked man.

The huge shock was unacceptable for Austin despite his old age.

"It's complicated." Renee understood Austin's contempt for Quinton. Normal people would always feel that way about him.

Quinton's customers always came willingly, neither forced nor threatened. Even so, his work was cruel and dishonorable. No one would find Quinton innocent.

"My brother's life was full of difficulties. He was forcefully separated from my family when he was born. He had to deal with many bad things. He needed to work very hard just to

survive..."
