Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1925

Renee munched on a soft cake as she casually asked Joanne.

The smile on Joanne's face froze, and her gaze turned icy.

"Why are you asking?" "I'm just asking; | don't have any hidden agenda, | promise." Renee put two fingers

together and said seriously.

"| swear I'm just concerned about you as a friend.

If I lie, letbe struck by lightning." "There you go again!" Joanne immediately frowned.

"Stop saying such unlucky things!" "What else can | do? | have to prove my innocence so you won't be so

"He's a good guy, but he's only helpingbecause he feels sorry for me.

We're honorable people, and he's loyal to you, so don't get him wrong." "T didn't even think of that," Renee

hurriedly explained.

"I'm just surprised he did something so kind...

He's usually quite aloof." Stefan might have approached Joanne to defeat Quinton back then, but he had nothing

to gain from helping Joanne now.

It was unlike him.

Joanne shook her head.

"You don't know him well.

He's the most loyal and charming man I’ve ever met

He's second to none—you should cherish him well!" "Yeah. but it didn’t stop him from abandoning his family and

cheating on me!" Renee burst out, unable to stop herself.

"He abandoned his family?" Joanne looked stunned.

"That can't be.

I'm sure there's skind of misunderstanding.

| can swear on muy life that he's not that kind of person." "Ah who knows Renee wanted to stop talking about it,

so she changed the topic smoothly.

"You said Stefan's second to none...

So, what about my brother?"
