402 Pretense

Renard Quinn knew that a sudden statement could have an impact on Luke Perkins.

Luke Perkins is a man with plenty of life stories. If one had to play politics and intrigue in front of him, it would only have a counterproductive effect.

So in front of Luke Perkins, Renard Quinn was brash, even careless, trying to make Luke Perkins see him as a straightforward junior.

Rash, naive, ignorant of etiquette.

Renard Quinn felt he had played the role pretty well today, smoothly covering for his previous actions.

Renard Quinn's suspicions began the day he saw Alex Gregory in the sanatorium.

Alex Gregory was an old familiar face to him. Renard Quinn was confident he hadn't misrecognized him.

But whether Alex Gregory dared to acknowledge Renard Quinn himself was another matter.

Renard Quinn, however, went straight ahead and said to Alex Gregory, "You're so brazen to show up here in the church?"

Alex Gregory, hearing these impolite words, of course, felt anger bubbling up instinctively.
