Renee stayed with Leia a little longer before she left the hospital.

It was now late at night, and the lights in the corridor of the hospital were going on and off intermittently. It appeared rather frightening.

Suddenly, a dark figure came out of the corner and blocked Renee.

That person was none other than William, who had an argument with her just now. Renee was shocked, so she stared at him coldly. �What�s the matter? Didn�t I throw you over hard enough? Are you courting death again now?�

William said seriously, �Miss Everheart, I mean well. I just� want to talk to you.�

�What�s there to talk about between us?�

She gave him a scornful look. �You wronged Lei, so you don�t have to behave aggrievedly and innocently in front of her best friend. If it weren�t for fear of Lei�s sadness, I would have tortured you vigorously.�

�I want to talk to you about� Briar.�

After a long hesitation, William decided to be frank with Renee. He went straight to the point and said,

�I�m aware of those things that you did to Briar.�

Renee�s eyes sank and asked icily, �What� What do you know?�

William pat Renee on the shoulder after seeing her panicked reaction. �Don�t worry. You�re Leia�s friend. She�d be upset if something were to happen to you, so I won�t run my mouth either.�

Renee seemed conflicted, taking a deep breath as she looked toward the man. �You have to promise you won�t tell a single soul, and I mean it. I know I did something bad, but I want to wait till the right time to put an end to it all.�

�Miss Everheart, you don�t have to tell me anything. I don�t think you�re wrong at all. Desrosiers deserved it! Let�s just pretend none of this ever happened. We�ll bring this secret to our graves,� William said coldly and resolutely.

The woman didn�t doubt William�s words at all. A frosty expression like that indicated that his love had completely run cold. However, she just couldn�t understand how people could behave so indifferently after they�ve had a change of heart.

She knew just how much William used to love Briar after all. He was even willing to trick Leia just for her sake, offering himself to become the absolute jerk in their stories.

�I don�t get you, Jones. Wasn�t Desrosiers your one true love? How could you be so calm when you know I have something to do with her death? And you aren�t going to take revenge for her? You�re even� willing to hide the truth from me?� Renee asked after some pondering.

She wasn�t afraid that William was trying to fool her, but she just wished to obtain an answer, as this had been a thorn in her heart for the longest time.

If the man called the cops on her now or used this as an excuse to threaten her, she would be willing to accept it as well, as she was well prepared to face the consequences.

�One true love? You must be joking. I was just obsessed because she wouldn�t love me back�� JrNovels.com
