Chapter 476
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âI could say the same about you!â Briar looked at William. Just as she was about to start mocking him, she caught sight of Adie. Her heart ached a little.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. She couldnât go easy on him!
âThis is the last time Iâll do anything for you. I hope you can keep your promise. Delete those videos and voice recordings on your phone. We owe each other nothing after this. Well pretend we donât even know each other! â William exclaimed before leaving the hotel with Adie.
Briar stood where she was and watched them leave. She didnât move for a very long time, and there wasnât any expression on her face, not unlike a soulless corpse.
After remaining silent for a while, she squatted and began laughing like a lunatic. She even started rolling on the floor while she laughedâ¦
âHahaha! Briar, youâre such a sad case. Even that fool who loved you the most decided to leave you for good. You deserve to have nothing!â
Briar clambered onto her feet and looked at the glass Adie used in the living room. She also saw the clothes and toys she bought for Adie.
Although she felt a little disappointed, she forced herself to not feel anything.
Since sheâd already lost everything, she couldnât afford to lose anymore.â Renee⦠Itâs time for you to die!â

William carried Adie to the backseat of his car. After strapping on Adieâs seatbelt, he even draped a small blanket over Adie.
This kid was good-looking and adorable. There was nothing to dislike about him.
The thought of sending Adie to the hell-like Carmine Pawnshop made William want to kill himself.
Mr. Q, Carmine Pawnshopâs owner, gave the final order that they had to send Adie over before the break of dawn. If it didnât happen, the contract would be nullified, and heâd exact revenge on him and Briar.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped on the gas.
While the car moved forward at a reasonable speed under the pale moonlight, William struggled with conflicting thoughts in his mind.
That was when he received a call from Leia.
William was pleasantly surprised. He frantically picked up the call. âBaby, have you finally stopped being mad at me? Are we not breaking up anymore?â
Leiaâs voice was cold. âDonât take it the wrong way. Weâre definitely breaking up. However, if you perform well, I might just reconsider my decision.â
âJust tell me what you want. Iâll do anything for you!â William exclaimed earnestly.
âIâll tell you the truth. My friend is in a tough spot. I think sheâs probably too worried about Adie. Didnât you say you had a friend whoâs the chief at a police station? Can you ask him to find Adie as soon as possible?â
Leia was worried William might have approached her with ulterior motives. Thatâs why she decided to break up with him temporarily. She didnât want to affect Renee.
However, if he could find Adie, sheâd naturally have nothing to worry about, and she could also get back with him in peace.
To be honest, she also wanted to test if William was genuine.
âThisâ¦â William looked at Adie, who was sound asleep in the backseat, and his willpower began to waver
