Leia felt that she hadmitted a heinous crime against her best friend. Tears poured down like rain
on her face as she took Renee’s hands and pped them on her own body, wishing that she could
make amends to Renee by dying.
“Nonsense! How can I ever me you? The only person at fault is that bastard William Jones.”
Renee gently wiped away Leia’s tears and patiently exined to her as if she was Leia’s mother, “Now
you’ve learned your lesson, right? Men arepletely unreliable, so from now on, you must always be
on guard. Don’t just listen to your heart; use your brain as well, otherwise someone could be ying
you like a fiddle and you won’t even notice it!”
Leia nodded repeatedly. She clenched her fists and angrily vowed, “I’ll never forget it! Being with men
only leads to a lifetime of misfortune, and trusting in men only leads to three whole lifetimes of
misfortune! Once I’m done killing that b*stard William Jones, I’ll be a nun and live in a monastery
for the rest of my life!”
Renee could not help butugh at Leia’s sweet silliness.
“You probably shouldn’t kill him yet,” she told Leia, “because now that Briar Desrosiers is missing,
William Jones is the only one who must know where Adie is, since he is Briar’s minion.”
She must hurry up and drag that ungrateful son of hers home as soon as possible, otherwise the little
rascal might totally forget his real mother and only regard aplete stranger as his mother!
Coincidentally, just as Leia was about to call William Jones to confront him, she received a call from the
man himself.
“Well!” Leia answered the phone as she gritted her teeth, bristling with rage. “Good evening, Dr. Jones!
I can’t believe you’ve still got the gall to contact me!”
“It sounds like you’ve found out the truth. Are you free? Can we meet up? I’ll confess everything.”
“Okay, then! At least you’ve still got some honor left!”
They then agreed on the ce where they would meet. Leia hung up the phone and began to furiously
ransack the ce.
“What are you looking for?” Renee asked.
“I’m looking for my gun. My brother gave it to me so I can protect myself. I’ve always treated it as a toy
and never expected that there’d be a day when I would have a reason to use it!”

Eventually, she found the short-barreleddy’s pistol on one of the shelves in the study. She wiped the
muzzle of the gun and scoffed, “Once he hands Adie over to us, I’ll kill that *sshole in one shot! He
should’ve known better than to deceive an Osborne woman!”
Renee stood aside watching her best friend, and could not help but shake her head. She knew Leia
very well, and she was certain that Leia would never have the heart to actually do it. Leia was just like
her—their hearts were too soft. No matter how much someone might hurt them, they still could not
completely hate that person, much less wish them dead.
Stefan’s death was the perfect example. Instead of filling her with joy and satisfaction, his death only
made her feel a sense of loss. The kind of loss you got when a certain corner of your heart that had
been aching for a long time was suddenly cut off and removed. The pain was not relieved because of
the removal at all, but instead was merely reced by a sense of emptiness.
Renee paused and had to wilfully stop herself from thinking about that man, because the thought of
him always brought a pang of uncontroble pain in her heart!
William Jones had told Leia to meet him at a hip restaurant near South Bay Beach. It was the ce
where he and Leia had their first date. William sat alone at a table, watching the waves hit the shore
and retreat back into the sea. He bitterly gulped down ss after ss of drinks.
Once Leia parked her supercar, she stormed into the restaurant and spotted William with a mere
nce.
“William Jones, you son of a b*tch! I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”
She rushed straight towards the man and pped him on both sides of his face right away. She then
grabbed his hair and demanded, “Tell me where Adie is right now!
