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 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 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 would become 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 she laughed sarcastically. “You were the one who did all those unspeakable things. Now you’re the one pretending 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 bad luck. I don’t even have the chance to be a mother now. If I don’t give it one last shot my mother would turn 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 were getting 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 impossible to get rid of!
As soon as Renee appeared Stefan lost his soul. All of Briar’s efforts for the past four years had gone to 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 along right 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 to Carmine Pawnshop without the stipulated period we’ll both be in deep trouble. Carmine Pawnshop’s owner won’t let us off the hook. If you keep hesitating you’ll lose everything including your beloved Leia!” 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. Carmine Pawnshop’s owner was known to be a cold-blooded demon. If they really did make him upset he might exact 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 with sleeping pills. It’ll keep him asleep until you send him to the pawnshop. All you have to do is be the delivery man. I’m sure you can do a good job” Briar said while crossing her arms. She sounded like a heartless snake or scorpion.
“Briar you’re not even human!” William exclaimed. He looked at the adorable Adie in his arms and his face displayed a look of pain. He felt extremely guilty.
