Liam had been waiting outside the police station for ages, but Briar Desrosiers was still nowhere to be seen. His patience was wearing thin, so he threw caution to the wind and went inside to ask the police officer who handled Briar’s case. That was when he found out that Briar had been released a long time ago.
“Damn it!” Liam cursed with a scowl before immediately reporting the development to Renee.
“I’m sorry Boss. This is all my fault. That cunning woman must’ve guessed that we were trying to ambush her outside so she escaped through another exit.”
“Never mind. I’ll find another way then.”
At the time Renee was sitting in front of the computer in her apartment her fingers incessantly tapping on the keyboard as she tried to track Briar’s movements in the past few days. She found out from the police officer in charge that Briar was arrested in a five-star luxury hotel so she hacked into the surveillance system of that hotel to sniff out any helpful clues.
She did not find any clues. She simply saw Briar Desrosiers taking care of Adie as if he were her own son. She even took Adie out to shop for everything the boy desired-be it snacks clothes or toys!
What infuriated Renee even more was how she saw Adie affectionately holding Briar’s hand in the surveillance video as if he now regarded Briar as his real mother! He was acting all cheerful and bubbly looking nothing at all like a boy who was kidnapped!
“Oh my God… My blood pressure is rising…”
Renee massaged her temples. She wished she could climb through the screen and spank the cheeky boy!
“Look at that. My dear eldest child! It’s like he’s trying to make my blood boil! We’ve all been so worried about him yet he’d been happily following someone else as if he was a puppy on a leash all along! Oh the betrayal!”
Leia who was sitting next to Renee almost burst into laughter as she watched it all play out on the screen.
“Hahahaha who would’ve thought that our cool handsome guy would have such a sweet and docile side? I guess the lure of snacks and toys had more influence on him than his own biological mother…”
But just as she was laughing away at Adie’s antics her expression suddenly froze. She clenched her fists.
The cause of this drastic change was in the surveillance video where she saw William Jones her boyfriend whom she was madly in love with was knocking on Briar Desrosiers’ door!
Renee noticed this too and she hastily turned off the monitor as quickly as she could. Then she got up and stretched her body before deliberately changing the topic saying “Forget it! I won’t bother checking it anymore! If that little rascal was so smart that he could hand Briar Desrosiers to the police himself then he’s probably fine. He’ll come home once he’s had enough fun.”
Leia’s throat felt tight and her eyes began to sting. She tried her best to keep calm as she looked up at Renee and asked her “D-Did you see that just now?”
Renee did not have the heart to upset Leia so she acted dumb albeit poorly and replied “What are you talking about? I didn’t see anything!”
“I beg you. Please play that video again.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that. The permission has expired so we can’t watch it anymore.”
But Leia was not so easily fooled. She grabbed Renee’s arms and repeatedly pleaded “You’ve got to help me hack into that surveillance video again Renee! I need to know if I was just imagining what I saw!”
“You don’t need to see it again. You weren’t imagining it.”
Renee sighed helplessly and decided to come clean with everything that she knew.
“William Jones does indeed know Briar Desrosiers. In fact they used to be in a relationship with each other.”
Leia was aghast. Not only was she heartbroken she suddenly felt as if she was the biggest dumbass in the world and could not stop herself from slapping herself across her face.
“I’m such a moron! How could I just let him trick me and use me all this time… No wonder why he’s been asking about you all the time! He approached me with an ulterior motive all along!” “Stupid stupid me! It’s all my fault that Adie went missing! I’m so sorry Renee! I’ve caused you trouble again! You have to beat me up. Otherwise I’ll never be able to forgive myself!
