�So now you�re talking about going straight to you instead of an innocent child, huh? Why didn�t you think of that when you killed my baby and caused me to lose the chance to ever be a mother again?!�

Briar was now so agitated that she acted like a rabid dog, lunging toward Renee and screeched, �You�re the reason why my baby died! Because of that, I�ll never give your son a chance to live a good life. God is so kind to you, isn�t he? He�s given you such an adorable son! I do like the boy myself, but it�s too bad that he has your dirty blood in his veins. For that, I�ll do anything to make sure he suffers a fate worse than death!�

�Soon enough, you�ll find out what happened to your poor child. By then, I wish that you�ll live the rest of your life plagued by guilt and shame, because you�re the reason he had to suffer!�

The police officer quickly subdued her and sternly warned her, �That�s enough! Don�t force our hands or we�ll have to use a tougher measure to contain you!�

�Go ahead!� Briar sneered sinisterly even as her head was pinned onto the table till her face was smooshed out of shape, putting her in a humiliating position. �I�m not scared! Just do whatever tough measure you want on me! I don�t care anymore because I�ve got what I wanted. That boy is ruined now! You will suffer for the rest of your life, Renee Everheart! Even if I die now, I�ll die happy and in peace!�

Carmine Pawnshop was an infamous place in the underground market where anyone who stepped through its doors would have no chance of turning back. Their boss, Mr. Q, was known to be Stefan Hunt�s deadliest enemy. It was not hard to guess at all what kind of painful fate would befall Adie, with him being Stefan�s son.

After all, if Briar was going to attack Renee, she had better attack her where it would hurt the most, and what would hurt a mother more than seeing her own child suffer?

Renee was so enraged that she trembled, but she still managed to keep herself under control. With a perfectly calm demeanor, she asked the police officer, �Could you please leave this room for a while? I�d like to talk to her alone.�

After considering Renee�s request, the police officers agreed to leave the room. Only Renee and Briar were left in the interrogation room, even though in truth, their every word and their every move were monitored by the police.

Although she was handcuffed, Briar still appeared proud and arrogant. She chuckled menacingly and asked, �Did you think that I�d tell you where your son is just because you chased them away?�

She chuckled. �You�re too naive! The only reason why I attacked your son is that I wanted to take revenge on you. Now that I see how much you suffer, there�s no way that I�d back down!�

�Suffer?� Renee nonchalantly leaned back against the chair with a cool and carefree sneer on her face. �What makes you think that I�m suffering? I know how smart my son can be, and I�m confident that he�ll find his way out of trouble in no time. As for you� as soon as I insist on bringing on the charges against you, there�s no other outcome for you but to spend the rest of your life rotting in jail. I do feel sorry for you, you know.�

�I�ll admit that your son did seem a little clever, but if you think that he�ll be able to outsmart the guy that now possesses him, then you�re nothing but an idiot! I think you�d better just wake up from your daydream and face reality!�

Briar noticed how Renee�s face was turning pale from anger and she felt as proud and satiated as a bloodthirsty demon who was finally able to get a taste of fresh and delicious blood.

She was fully aware that the interrogation room was monitored, so she walked up to Renee and whispered in her ear, �I suggest that you go home early and stop wasting your time here with me. You won�t get anything from me, so why don�t you use the time that you have to order a child�s coffin instead? You want to send him off properly, don�t you?�

�Shut up!�

Those heinous words proved too much for Renee. She was utterly incensed. She shot up to her feet and reached out her long arms before enclosing her fingers around the Briar�s neck. Her beautiful eyes were gleaming with a chilling light.

�If you want to die so badly, then I�ll grant your wish right now!�

Briar could not breathe. Her face was flushed red, but even so, she cackled maniacally and egged Renee on, �Go ahead! Do it! This is exactly what I want! If you kill me now, then your life will be ruined too. Stefan will never forgive you, and he will never let you go unpunished for this. Then I will live on in his heart forever! Perfect!�

Renee�s frozen eyes suddenly betrayed some slight perturbations. JrNovels.com
