"I don't believe you!" Leia was still worried. She turned to look at Liam. "Liam, think of something. Ren must've experienced something devastating. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so downtrodden. Although you guys broke up, you can't just ignore her. Didn't you wait all night to talk to her after she returned? Why are you being silent?"Leia had always been hot-headed. She directly pushed Liam into Renee's room and closed the door with a bang. She then locked the door from the outside.Liam instantly panicked and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "Leia, damn it! Open the door!""I don't care. You have to make Ren feel better tonight. Otherwise, don't even think about coming out," Leia uttered. Worried that the lock might not hold, she even attached a steel bar as a latch for good measure.It couldn't be helped—her brother was too passive—if she didn't lend him a hand, he wouldn't even stand a chance!Renee and Liam were left in the large room all alone. They looked at eac

Good men were scarce, and women needed to have thick skin to win them over and keep them. The more ruthless one was, the more stable one's position in the household would be. Weak women would only be discarded—even their children would end up suffering.Therefore, Briar had no other talent than competing for men.She fought hard to have Tristan and had him wrapped around her fingers.Tristan thought she was pregnant with his child but in reality… The child didn't even belong to the Hunt family.In other words, even if her baby was healthy, she wouldn't keep it.Renee happened to be the perfect scapegoat.Stefan was the man Briar had set her sights on. She was willing to pay any price to get married to him."Adie, you have to believe that I'm a good person. I would never hurt you. You should be grateful that your mother has a good friend like me," Briar said with a smile while she gently ruffled Aiden's head.She made up her mind right there and then.The kid could only blame h

William saw Aiden, 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 to Carmine Pawnshop… You should know when to stop! Aren't you afraid that karma will come back to bite you?"A while ago, he received an order from Briar to deliver something 'unique' to Water Dock's Carmine Pawnshop.On the surface, Carmine Pawnshop sounded like a proper pawnshop where various precious treasures from around the world were gathered, but in reality, it was a breeding ground for evil.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 in

"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 being bad. If you hurt me, I'll decide if I should forgive you based on how serious it is. However, if you hurt my friend, I will never forgive you. In my heart, Ren will always come first. She's more important to me than 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 second chance at life. They treated her like their idol, and they were determined to protect her to the ends of the 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

"Ahh!" Aiden's voice sent William, who was already tense and nervous, screaming. "Kiddo, y-you're awake?" William stammered.Aiden rolled his eyes and started giving orders. "Idiot. I've been awake for a long time. Look ahead. Press the accelerator down all the way. Turn the car as much to the left as possible, and force your way through. Otherwise, we're both doomed!"Aiden initially wanted to pretend to be asleep, but this man didn't seem the least reliable. Although it was obvious the other party was driving their way, he still hesitated and didn't go full speed ahead. Aiden was terribly anxious."Huh? What?" William's jaw dropped. He looked ahead and realized that he ought to follow Aiden's instructions.Without thinking too much, William held onto the steering wheel tightly. "I'm going to make a rapid turn. Sit tight!"Vroom, vroom, vroom! The roar of the car's engine echoed throughout the dock. The vehicle headed toward a gap on the left, and just when it seemed they would
