Chapter 1184
Anton stared at me without blinking, his dark eyes unreadable.
Kimberly was about to lose her mind with anger. She cried out to Reynaldo, "But you promised my father to take care of me for the rest of my life! Don't forget, my father gave your mother a kidney and was killed by your father!"
"In the end, you owe the Palmer family a life!"
"Is that so?" Reynaldo smiled coldly. "Then shall I return the Palmer family a life for a life?"
Upon hearing this, I was startled and anxiously looked at Reynaldo.
Reynaldo soothingly patted my shoulder.
He looked at Kimberly indifferently and said, "If you insist on me returning the Palmer family a life, then fine, I will give you mine."
Kimberly looked at him in disbelief, tears streaming down her face, her eyes bloodshot. She didnโt look pitiful at all, but rather a bit neurotic.
Suddenly, she went crazy, her face twisted, and shouted at me, "It's all because of youโฆ"
"Enough!" Anton quickly grabbed her and said sadly, "Don't you understand? Reynaldo would rather die than have anything to do with you. What are you still clinging to?!"
Wasn't Quentin good? Quentin loved you so much, obeyed your every command. Why do you always have to long for things that donโt belong to you?
"Quentin?" Kimberly murmured these two words, then suddenly, as if remembering something, turned around quickly.
Quentin was watching her not far away, by the main gate. Actually, Quentin had been standing there for a long time, relatively quiet. Our conversation, including Kimberlyโs persistent behavior toward Reynaldo, was probably heard and seen by Quentin.
Quentin's face was hidden in the shadows, not very clear to see, but I could feel a strong sense of sadness and despair emanating from him.
He was like being pushed into an abyss of no return, unable to climb out no matter what.
When Kimberly saw Quentin, a look of panic flashed across her face. She hurried over and took Quentinโs hand, as if she was explaining something to him.
Until then, I couldn't figure out what her feelings were for Quentin. Was it only for the sake of using him, and fearing that Quentin would expose her, so she had to coax him? Did she really have some feelings for Quentin when she was alive?
Of course, I dare not think of the latter. Because in my eyes, Kimberly was just a heartless lunatic. She was not necessarily in love with Reynaldo, but only had a twisted possessiveness and competitiveness.
I don't know how Kimberly "coaxed" Quentin. Quentin barely smiled and then led her back to the booth.
I frowned as I watched Quentinโs thin figure, always with a sense of foreboding.
Anton glanced at me and then said to Reynaldo, "Don't take Kimberly's words to heart. Actually, you didn't owe the Palmer family anything. My father giving your mother a kidney was a voluntary act, a voluntary sacrifice he made for his beloved. This kind of deep affection should not be used as a bargaining chip to ask for something in return from you."
"So you don't have any psychological burden. The grievances of the previous generation are ultimately the affairs of the previous generation, and have nothing to do with you."
I looked at Anton in surprise, never expecting him to think like that. It should be noted that he once harbored thoughts of killing Reynaldo in order to avenge his father. Now that he can say such words, it means that he has truly let go of the hatred in his heart.
