Chapter: 727
The pawnshop's owner was mysterious and had a powerful background. He once claimed that if a pawnbroker could give him something precious, he would fulfill any of their wishes.
Some traded invaluable treasures for the love they so desired, while others traded their organs for immeasurable wealth.
All in all� As long as the owner was willing to accept the item one offered, one's deepest desires could be turned into reality.
Since Briar was able to offer Adie to Carmine Pawnshop, she must've negotiated a deal with the owner.
All she needed now was someone reliable to deliver Adie to Carmine Pawnshop, and the deal would become official!
Tell me the truth. What did you ask Carmine Pawnshops boss to give you � Money? Power? Health? William couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. You have everything now. This child is only starting out in life. If the shop takes him in, his life will be in ruins. Stop this while you can!"
"Hehe! Briar was like a proud peacock. She stood proudly under the warm orange light while she laughed sarcastically. You were the one who did all those unspeakable things. Now, you're the one pretending to be a saint. Don't you think it's a little too late?"
"You found your happiness in romance, and now you want to leave. Me? I have nothing and no one. The man I love has gone missing. The Hunt family I longed to be a part of thinks I'm the bearer of bad luck. I don't even have the chance to be a mother now. If I don't give it one last shot, my mother would turn in her grave. Shed blame me for being an embarrassment� So, do you think I'm going too far?
All these years, shed been pretending to be a fool to solicit pity from others. She and Stefan were getting closer and closer, and it was only a matter of time before she got married into the Hunt family.
Who would've thought that Renee would suddenly show up? She seemed to be practically impossible to get rid of!
As soon as Renee appeared, Stefan lost his soul. All of Briars efforts for the past four years had gone to waste. How could she not hate Renee?
Naturally, Briar knew she was no match for Renee and needed someone stronger to help her. Coincidentally, Adie was a treasure the owner of Carmine Pawnshop took interest in. They got along right away!
"I don't have another choice. I can't lose. Being nice will only lead me down the path of destruction� Briar clenched her fists and glared coldly at William. Were both the same. If this child isn't delivered to Carmine Pawnshop without the stipulated period, we will both be in deep trouble. Carmine Pawnshops owner wont let us off the hook. If you keep hesitating, you'll lose everything, including your beloved Leia! Briars words broke through Williams last line of mental defense.
There wasn't anything he was personally afraid of, but he couldn't put Leia in danger. Carmine Pawnshop's owner was known to be a cold-blooded demon. If they really did make him upset, he might exact revenge on them indiscriminately.
William took a deep breath. He walked to the bed and picked Adie up, who was sound asleep.
Don't worry. This kid might be smart, but he trusts me too much. I gave him some milk infused with sleeping pills. I'll keep him asleep until you send him to the pawnshop. All you have to do is be the delivery man. Im sure you can do a good job, Briar said while crossing her arms. She sounded like a heartless snake or scorpion.
Briar, youre not even human! William exclaimed. He looked at the adorable Adie in his arms, and his face displayed a look of pain. He felt extremely guilty.
�I could say the same about you!� Briar looked at William. Just as she was about to start mocking him, she caught sight of Adie. Her heart ached a little.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. She couldn�t go easy on him!
�This is the last time I�ll do anything for you. I hope you can keep your promise. Delete those videos and voice recordings on your phone. We owe each other nothing after this. Well pretend we don�t even know each other!� William exclaimed before leaving the hotel with Adie. JrNovels.com
