Joanne clenched her fists so tightly that her long fingernails dug deep into her palms. "It depends on who the angel meets. If an angel meets another angel, then it'll be heaven. But if the angel meets a demon, it'll go to hell... He was the one who sent me there!"
"Miss, you... Wait a minute..." Renee's mind was a mess. Feeling bewildered, she asked Joanne in confusion, "You betrayed him and stabbed him, but you also said that he was a demon who pulled you down to hell… Is that right?"
"Yes, that's right." Joanne nodded vigorously, unashamed of what she had done.
"Well, you're being unreasonable. How can you shift the blame to him?" Renee argued.
"What do you know? No one knows about my past with him, so none of you know how he dragged me to hell."
"Do you mind telling me then? It seems like both of you are troubled by something… maybe I can help?" Renee felt that the woman she had heard about was not that unreasonable and ruthless. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.
"Who the hell are you? Why should I tell you my secret?" Joanne narrowed her eyes at Renee. Ever since Renee mentioned Quinton, she had been suspicious of her.
"I'm…" At first, Renee wanted to say that she was Quinton's sister, but after seeing how much Joanne hated him, that seemed like a bad idea. "I'm Liam's girlfriend. I'm here to save you, so I need you to trust me. Tell me your story."
This made Joanne doubtful. She frowned and said, "You claim that you're Liam's girlfriend, but you can't stop bringing up my brother. What's your relationship with him?"
"I... I am..." Renee did not know if she should tell the truth.
"It's okay, I don't really care. I don't want to have anything to do with him. What's more, I won't leave this place. I'm as good as dead." After that, Joanne closed her eyes and leaned against the wall in despair.
