Chapter 477

“Leia, if you find out one day that I’m not as simple as you imagined, and I turn out to be a bad person,would you… Would you forgive me?” William asked.

“Why are you asking that? I knew you were up to no good… But it depends on how you define beingbad. If you hurt me, I’ll decide if I should forgive you based on how serious it is. However, if you hurt myfriend, I will never forgive you. In my heart, Renee will always come first. She’s more important to methan anyone else. If you cross this line, you and I are over for good. Do you understand?” Leia asked.

To her and her brother, Renee wasn’t only a good friend. She was the person who gave them a secondchance at life. They treated her like their idol, and they were determined to protect her to the ends ofthe earth.

William’s facial expression froze after hearing this. He remained silent for a long while before replying.“Alright. I understand. I know what to do.”

Leia was confused. “What do you mean? Why are you beating around the bush? Are you going to askyour friend for help or not?”

“Leia, I’m sorry. I can’t help you with this. If you want to break up with me because of this, then so beit.” William’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m a bad guy, and I’m also an idiot. I don’t deserve to live. However,I never regretted meeting you and falling in love with you. Thank you for saving me. I love you, Leia.Goodbye!”

“William, you…”

William hung up before Leia could finish her sentence. He was already crying.

It wasn’t difficult to deduce from what Leia said-if he came clean right now and returned Adie to Renee,they might still be able to get back together. However, if he sent Adie to Carmine Pawnshop, theirrelationship would be over for good.

He loved Leia. Naturally, he didn’t want their relationship to end. However… More importantly, he wasworried she would get into trouble because of him. Carmine Pawnshop’s owner might exact revenge onher.

That’s why he’d rather go through with the breakup than take the risk…

“I’m sorry, kiddo. I don’t want to hurt you either, but if I don’t do this, the woman I love will get hurt. Ihope Mr. Q wants you because he genuinely likes you.” William turned around and looked at Adie. Hesounded apologetic.

Despite committing an evil crime, William was a reasonable person. That’s why he’d already thought ofa way to redeem himself. Once he sent Adie to Carmine Pawnshop, he’d offer a clear explanation toeveryone.

The car eventually stopped at a gas station.

William was feeling awful. He decided to get out of the car for a smoke.

Just as Briar had said, Adie was still sound asleep due to the sleeping pills’ effect.

However, when William walked far away, Adie got up.

Adie knew ahead of time that Briar was up to no good, so he swapped the glass of milk infused withsleeping pills with a regular one when she wasn’t paying attention. He was only pretending to be asleepall this time.

Therefore, he heard everything Briar and William said. He was intrigued by the Carmine Pawnshop’sowner that they spoke about. He wanted to meet this guy.novelbin

If this person turned out to be capable, Adie might even try persuading him to work for Mommy.

After all, Mommy had been working hard for many years. Even if Liam was there to help her, hecouldn’t do much for her. The more, the merrier. Mommy would have an easier time too.

However, Briar was too evil. Not only did she hurt Mommy, but she even tried to sell him. He couldn’tforgive her.

Adie retrieved his phone and dialed 911 according to plan.

“Police officer, help me. I’ve been kidnapped and sold by Briar Desrosiers, a human trafficker. She’s atHotel XX right now. Hurry up and arrest her. Oh, and send someone to save me. My name is AidenEverheart. My Mommy is Renee Everheart, and my Daddy is Liam Osborne. Ahh… The bad guy ishere!”
