Briar stood where she was and watched them leave. She didn�t move for a very long time, and there wasn�t any expression on her face, not unlike a soulless corpse.

After remaining silent for a while, she squatted and began laughing like a lunatic. She even started rolling on the floor while she laughed.

�Hahaha! Briar, you�re such a sad case. Even that fool who loved you the most decided to leave you for good. You deserve to have nothing!�

Briar clambered onto her feet and looked at the glass Adie used in the living room. She also saw the clothes and toys she bought for Adie.

Although she felt a little disappointed, she forced herself to not feel anything.

Since she�d already lost everything, she couldn�t afford to lose anymore. �Renee� It�s time for you to die!�

William carried Adie to the backseat of his car. After strapping on Adie�s seatbelt, he even draped a small blanket over Adie.

This kid was good-looking and adorable. There was nothing to dislike about him.

The thought of sending Adie to the hell-like Carmine Pawnshop made William want to kill himself.

Mr. Q, Carmine Pawnshop�s owner, gave the final order that they had to send Adie over before the break of dawn. If it didn�t happen, the contract would be nullified, and he�d exact revenge on him and Briar.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped on the gas.

While the car moved forward at a reasonable speed under the pale moonlight, William struggled with conflicting thoughts in his mind.

That was when he received a call from Leia.

William was pleasantly surprised. He frantically picked up the call. �Baby, have you finally stopped being mad at me? Are we not breaking up anymore?�

Leia�s voice was cold. �Don�t take it the wrong way. We�re definitely breaking up. However, if you perform well, I might just reconsider my decision.�

�Just tell me what you want. I�ll do anything for you!� William exclaimed earnestly.

�I�ll tell you the truth. My friend is in a tough spot. I think she�s probably too worried about Adie. Didn�t you say you had a friend who�s the chief at a police station? Can you ask him to find Adie as soon as possible?�

Leia was worried William might have approached her with ulterior motives. That�s why she decided to break up with him temporarily. She didn�t want to affect Renee.

However, if he could find Adie, she�d naturally have nothing to worry about, and she could also get back with him in peace. JrNovels.com
