Renee repeated herself, rendering Quinton speechless.
Quinton swallowed and clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down as excitement surged in hisveins.
"Quinton, are you... alright?” Renee whispered anxiously when he remained silent.
"I'm great!" Quinton took a deep breath, then asked eagerly, *Where is she now? What happened toher?"
"Ah, that's a long story..." Renee explained everything to him, then sighed regretfully. “Back then, it wasLiam who calmed the fort master down, giving Joanne and I the chance to escape. If he hadn't donethat, they would have taken out Joanne's organs and sold them. However, even when things weretough, she never gave up.”
The dark zone of The Triangle in Southeast Aeos was a dangerous spot, and a pretty woman likeJoanne would've been easy prey for all the merciless sadists there.novelbin
"Stop, I don't want to hear anymore.” Quinton's face turned pale, and his body trembled. He was wellaware of the kinds of torture in The Triangle, since the Water Dock's punishments had been inspired byit. Carmine Pawnshop had prospered fast by breaking a lot of rules, and there were many youngwomen who suffered the same fate as Joanne.. and worse. It was also the reason why Quinton hadfallen out with Joanne.
He had taken Joanne to Water Dock and built her a courtyard full of her favorite flowers and soft toys.She'd led a carefree and naive life like a princess there, but the world outside of her fairytale castle washorrible. Terrible things happened outside her courtyard, making it a forbidden land for ordinary people.
Quinton had prohibited Joanne from leaving the courtyard, and her initial obedience faded after herboredom caught up to her. She had begged him to take her out but he always turned her down. At last,she managed to sneak out alone, and her entire world crumbled when she witnessed
Quinton's cruelty and horrible deeds. It worsened her conflict with Quinton, and she no longer wantedto stay in
Water Dock. Quinton then proceeded to lock her up, and then... that tragedy ended everything.
"I locked her up in the courtyard because I was afraid that she might get hurt. The world out there wastoo cruel and dangerous, and I didn't want to risk her safety. I didn't expect that what I feared mostwould happen nonetheless.”
Quinton sighed remorsefully. Finally, he looked at Renee in disappointment and asked, “So you knewthat she's alive. Why did you keep it from me?"
