Leia wholeheartedly believed that life should be lived to the fullest, without stress or misery. That was


    all she wanted for her best friend. At the very least, she didn’t want Renee to give up on romance at the


    young age of thirty all because of a selfish scumbag!


    ‘Isaac has another performance in a few days, so why don’t we go back then and have a good time?


    Also, I heard that The Blue Inn hires handsome new performers every few days or so. They always


    fight for the top spot, so if you get bored of Isaac, we can always find you someone else. You know, I


    think we should try to view rtionships the way men do. We should only care about their appearance,


    and never get emotionally invested. That way, well never get hurt, right?”


    Renee chuckled, her eyes gleaming with mirth. “Leia, what happened to you? In the past, all you talked


    about was undying love; you’d even pray for a man who loved you with all his heart. How did youe


    to this sudden realization?”


    “Well, I guess it was when I got fooled by that scumbag.” Leia let out a long sigh.


    “William is a pretty good actor. He was ying me like a fiddle the whole time! Did you say that poison


    was fake? Why didn’t it kill him? I can only me myself for not shooting him and killing him back


    then!” Leia growled, stomping her foot in frustration.


    “Alright, don’t get upset. I think he’s realized what he’s done wrong, and he risked his life to make up


    for it. If you still can’t move on, give him another chance. You don’t have to worry about me -1 won’t


    mind.” Renee could tell that Leia still hadn’t moved on despite how much she imed she hated


    William.


    That’s because the opposite of loving someone wasn’t hatred, it was indifference.


    The more Leia said she hated him, the more obvious it was that she loved him. William still had an


    important ce in her heart, and his betrayal had hurt her deeply. However, Renee knew Leia was a


    devoted friend, and she would feel bad getting back with William after what he did to Renee; that was


    why Leia had cut off all ties with William.


    ‘Fat chance! I’ve seen through his facade, and I can’t trust him anymore. With a ce like The Blue


    Inn, I can meet handsome, young men every night. Why would I give up all that for one guy?” Leia


    hugged Renee’s arm like a child. “I don’t care, you’re going there with me again! Friends have to share


    good things with each other, and looking at attractive men is one of those things!”

    Renee couldn’t say no. “Alright, alright. I’ll go with you.”


    After drinking her soup, Renee switched on herputer to settle some matters rted to Azure


    Group. Azure Group was now entering a period of rapid growth, and it needed more investments.


    However, thepany was seriouslycking finances. With their source of capital cut off, she needed


    to find an alternative, or their four years of hard work would go down the drain.


    Liam had been contributing far too much over the years, so Renee was too embarrassed to ask the


    Osborne family for more financial aid. Additionally, the families in Beach City that were capable of


    offering help were all on the Hunt family’s side. Naturally, they wouldn’t help the Hunt family’s rival.


    ‘Ahh, what a pain!’ Renee grumbled inwardly.


    Suddenly, Renee received a call, and she answered it cautiously.


    The voice on the other end of the line was soft and maic. “Been a while, hasn’t it? I heard you’re in


    need of cash.
