Chapter: 1312
William squinted his eyes and sighed. �Briar Desrosiers has committed far too many crimes, so she deserved to die like that. You were doing the world justice, so don�t be too harsh on yourself.�
�I don�t care if you believe me or not, but I�ve never wanted her dead. It was just an accident. But even if I could rewind time, I�d still do the same regardless. I will never allow her to harm Leia, let alone my children.� Renee said, slightly agitated.
Thinking back to that stormy night, she felt her heart clenching tightly, her expression growing twisted from the pain.
The accident happened over three months ago. Briar, who had been missing for quite some time, suddenly contacted her with an unregistered number, requesting to meet up.
Initially, Renee intended to ignore this woman. After all, they were both victims of what happened back then. Continuing fighting in this lose-lose battle would be meaningless, as they would only be hurting each other further.
However, the malevolent madwoman sent her a video instead. It was footage of Leia and William having intercourse.
�If you refuse, I�ll publish this video all over the internet right now. Let�s see how your best friend can live on after this!� Briar threatened, ordering her to do as told.
They then scheduled to meet up at a remote cliff within Strix Island. The storm was quite heavy that night, illuminated by giant sparks of lightning and loud, rumbling thunder.
Renee was not senseless; she knew that Briar must harbor malicious intent when she forced her to meet under such circumstances.
Despite that, Renee had no choice but to meet with Briar, all for Leia�s sake.
�I was actually pretty shocked at the state she was in. Her hair was a mess, and she looked malnourished. And I felt sorry for her�� Renee balled her fists up, a lump rising in her throat. She was inexplicably upset.
�That�s nothing but a facade. That woman is used to acting fragile to gain sympathy. She�s actually an evil sociopath deep down. I thought I could fix her if I showed her some genuine love, but� she dragged me down to her level instead!�
�Hah, you sure are quick to shift all the blame to her. You men are the same. You�re just mad because you couldn�t handle her.�
�Looks like Desrosiers is a pitiful woman after all. To think the man who claimed to love her with everything he got abandoned her in the end regardless.� Renee shook her head, sighing.
Due to their similar experiences with men, Renee somehow empathized with Briar at some point in time, despite being rivals.
�She used my tape with Leia to threaten you. Isn�t that enough evidence to show that she is a bad person through and through? She doesn�t deserve your sympathy. It�s not your fault you pushed her off the cliff! She crossed the line first,� William said calmly.
�So you were there too? You saw our fight that night and how I pushed her off?� Renee replied in a composed tone. At this point, she could finally face the accident with a fresh new perspective. Technically speaking, she was indeed a murderer in this case.
Briar made many insulting remarks that night. Her goal was simple. She wanted Adie. If she didn�t get him, she would publicize the video to the entire internet.
Not sacrificing either her child or best friend was a no-brainer. She would never send them in harm�s way.
Hence, she lunged over to Briar in order to snatch the phone out of her hands, losing all rationality. As they continued to struggle, she accidentally pushed the woman off the cliff� JrNovels.com
