Chapter 475
William saw Adie, who was fast asleep, and his expression changed instantly.
“Briar, are you mad? How could you do this to a child? He’s still so young. He shouldn’t be taken toCarmine Pawnshop… You should know when to stop! Aren’t you afraid that karma will come back tobite you?”
A while ago, he received an order from Briar to deliver something ‘unique’ to Water Dock’s CarminePawnshop.
On the surface, Carmine Pawnshop sounded like a proper pawnshop where various precious treasuresfrom around the world were gathered, but in reality, it was a breeding ground for evil.novelbin
The pawnshop’s owner was mysterious and had a powerful background. He once claimed that if apawnbroker 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 forimmeasurable wealth.
All in all… As long as the owner was willing to accept the item one offered, one’s deepest desires couldbe 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 wouldbecome official!
“Tell me the truth. What did you ask Carmine Pawnshop’s 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 shelaughed sarcastically. “You were the one who did all those unspeakable things. Now, you’re the onepretending 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 badluck. I don’t even have the chance to be a mother now. If I don’t give it one last shot, my mother wouldturn in her grave. She’d blame me for being an embarrassment… So, do you think I’m going too far?”
All these years, she’d been pretending to be a fool to solicit pity from others. She and Stefan weregetting 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 impossibleto get rid of!
As soon as Renee appeared, Stefan lost his soul. All of Briar’s efforts for the past four years had goneto 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 alongright 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. “We’re both the same. If this child isn’t delivered toCarmine Pawnshop without the stipulated period, we’ll both be in deep trouble. Carmine Pawnshop’sowner won’t let us off the hook. If you keep hesitating, you’ll lose everything, including your belovedLeia!” Briar’s words broke through William’s last line of mental defense.
There wasn’t anything he was personally afraid of, but he couldn’t put Leia in danger. CarminePawnshop’s owner was known to be a cold-blooded demon. If they really did make him upset, he mightexact 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 withsleeping pills. It’ll keep him asleep until you send him to the pawnshop. All you have to do is be thedelivery man. I’m sure you can do a good job,” Briar said while crossing her arms. She sounded like aheartless snake or scorpion.
“Briar, you’re not even human!” William exclaimed. He looked at the adorable Adie in his arms, and hisface displayed a look of pain. He felt extremely guilty.
