The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Leia felt that she had committed a heinous crime against her best friend. Tears poured down like rain on her face as she took Renee's hands and slapped them on her own body, wishing that she could make amends to Renee by dying.

"Nonsense! How can I ever blame you? The only person at fault is that bastard William Jones."

Renee gently wiped away Leia's tears and patiently explained to her as if she was Leia's mother, "Now you've learned your lesson, right? Men are completely unreliable, so from now on, you must always be on guard. Don't just listen to your heart; use your brain as well, otherwise someone could be playing you like a fiddle and you won't even notice it!"

Leia nodded repeatedly. She clenched her fists and angrily vowed, "I'll never forget it! Being with men only leads to a lifetime of misfortune, and trusting in men only leads to three whole lifetimes of misfortune! Once I'm done killing that b*stard William Jones I'll become a nun and live in a monastery for the rest of my life!"

Renee could not help but laugh at Leia's sweet silliness.

"You probably shouldn't kill him yet," she told Leia, "because now that Briar Desrosiers is missing, William Jones is the only one who must know where Adie is, since he is Briar's minion."

She must hurry up and drag that ungrateful son of hers home as soon as possible, otherwise the little rascal might totally forget his real mother and only regard a complete stranger as his mother!

Coincidentally, just as Leia was about to call William Jones to confront him, she received a call from the man himself.

"Well!" Leia answered the phone as she gritted her teeth, bristling with rage. "Good evening, Dr. Jones! I can't believe you've still got the gall to contact me!"

"It sounds like you've found out the truth. Are you free? Can we meet up? I'll confess everything."

"Okay, then! At least you've still got some honor left!"

They then agreed on the place where they would meet. Leia hung up the phone and began to furiously ransack the place. "What are you looking for?" Renee asked.

"I'm looking for my gun. My brother gave it to me so I can protect myself. I've always treated it as a toy and never expected that there'd be a day when I would have a reason to use it!"

Eventually, she found the short-barreled lady's pistol on one of the shelves in the study. She wiped the muzzle of the gun and scoffed, "Once he hands Adie over to us, I'll kill that *sshole in one shot! He should've known better than to deceive an Osborne woman!"

Renee stood aside watching her best friend, and could not help but shake her head. She knew Leia very well, and she was certain that Leia would never have the heart to actually do it. Leia was just like her their hearts were too soft. No matter how much someone might hurt them, they still could not completely hate that person, much less wish them dead.

Stefan's death was the perfect example. Instead of filling her with joy and satisfaction, his death only made her feel a sense of loss. The kind of loss you got when a certain corner of your heart that had been aching for a long time was suddenly cut off and removed. The pain was not relieved because of the removal at all, but instead was merely replaced by a sense of emptiness.

Renee paused and had to wilfully stop herself from thinking about that man, because the thought of him always brought a pang of uncontrollable pain in her heart!

William Jones had told Leia to meet him at a hip restaurant near South Bay Beach. It was the place where he and Leia had their first date. William sat alone at a table, watching the waves hit the shore and retreat back into the sea. He bitterly gulped down glass after glass of drinks.

Once Leia parked her supercar, she stormed into the restaurant and spotted William with a mere glance.

"William Jones, you son of a b*tch! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

She rushed straight towards the man and slapped him on both sides of his face right away. She then grabbed his hair and demanded, "Tell me where Adie is right now!
