Chapter 487
After considering Reneeās 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, āDid you think that Iād tell you where your son
is just because you chased them away?ā
She chuckled. āYouāre 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, thereās
no way that Iād back down!ā
Enter titleā¦
āSuffer?ā Renee nonchalantly leaned back against the chair with a cool and
carefree sneer on her face. āWhat makes you think that Iām suffering? I
know how smart my son can be, and Iām confident that heāll find his way out of
trouble in no time. As for you⦠as soon as I insist on bringing on the charges
against you, thereās no other outcome for you but to spend the rest of your life
rotting in jail. I do feel sorry for you, you know.ā
āIāll admit that your son did seem a little clever, but if you think that heāll be able
to outsmart the guy that now possesses him, then youāre nothing but an idiot! I
think youād better just wake up from your daydream and face reality!ā
Briar noticed how Reneeās 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, āI suggest that you go home early and
stop wasting your time here with me. You wonāt get anything from me, so why
donāt you use the time that you have to order a childās coffin instead? You want
to send him off properly, donāt you?ā
āShut up!ā
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 Briarās neck. Her beautiful eyes were gleaming with a chilling
light.
āIf you want to die so badly, then Iāll grant your wish right now!ā
Briar could not breathe. Her face was flushed red, but even so, she cackled
maniacally and egged Renee on, āGo 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!ā
Reneeās frozen eyes suddenly betrayed some slight perturbations.
āStefan Hunt?ā she brusquely replied. āHeās nothing but a dead man now.
Thereās no use in bringing him up now. Youāre just making a fool of yourself! ā
āW-What did you say?ā
Briar, who had seemed arrogant the whole time, seemed to be hit by a bolt from
the blue at the moment. She was staggering on her feet, hardly able to keep
herself from falling.
āYou heard me right,ā Renee snapped back in a biting voice. She could tell that
Briar probably had no idea about Stefanās death yet. She focused her icy gaze
on the woman and added, āThe man youāve always depended on is now gone
forever! Thereāll be no one else to rescue you now! If you agree to cough up
Adieās real whereabouts right now, I might consider not going further with the
charges against you and Iāll pretend that none of this ever happened.ā
āImpossible!ā Briar had a complete breakdown. With tears streaming down the
corners of her eyes, she yelled, āYouāre lying to me! Stefan is invincible! Heās the
most powerful man in Beach City! How could he just die? Did you think that you
could intimidate me into telling you where your son is by lying to me like that?
You shouldāve made up something more believable! Save your breath! I donāt
believe you!ā
āI donāt care if you believe me or not,ā said Renee, releasing the fingers that had
been pressing on the veins on Briarās neck. She had lost all patience with Briar,
and could now only bother to coldly tell her, āI gave you a chance, but you just
tossed it away, so donāt regret it later.ā
The police officers had been guarding the door and were ready to charge into
the interrogation room at any moment. But then they saw Renee walking out of
the door, and they collectively sighed in relief.
āHow did it go?ā an officer asked. āDid you get any useful clues from her?ā
Renee smiled faintly at the police officers, but no one could tell what kind of
emotions were on that lovely face of hers.
āI just had a heart-to-heart chat with Ms. Desrosiers just now, and found out that
this is all just a misunderstanding. If thereās nothing else going on, please
release her as soon as possible.ā
The police officers quickly exchanged looks in confusion when they heard her.
āMs. Everheart, was that a joke? The suspect kidnapped your son and youāre
asking us to release her?ā
Renee raised her brows, and her smile broadened. In an apologetic voice, she
replied, āMy son has been a really naughty boy. He knew that Ms.
Desrosiers and I donāt get along, so he decided to call the police on her, hoping
that the police officers would take away the person that had been mean to me.
Iāve found out where he is now, so I must deeply apologize for all the trouble
weāve caused you. I will make a 150,000-dollar donation to the construction
funds for this police station as compensation. Please forgive us for this
mistake.ā
āButā¦ā
The police officers there were all dumbfounde
