The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 486
The police officer in charge of recording the interview could not help looking up at Renee. He frowned and reproached, “Your son
has been missing for so long, and you still wouldn’t report it to the police? Don’t you think you’re being too reckless as the
parents? Thank god the child was clever enough to report it to the police himself! Although we still haven’t figured out where he
is, we’ve caught the suspected kidnapper, so the situation might not end up so serious after all.”
Renee nodded repeatedly, “You’re right, Officer. We, as adults, have certainly been too neglectful.”
But in her head, she silently thought, ‘I wonder which unlucky guys had to deal with Adie this time. They should count their
blessings if they didn’t end up getting sold into a human trafficking ring by him!’
Adie had run away on his own many times before, so it was inevitable that he would encounter bad guys with sinister motives
against him, but each time it always ended with the kidnappers calling the police for help themselves after realizing that they
could not deal with the true menace that was Aiden Everheart!
“The suspect has confessed to the crime,” said the officer in charge, “but she refused to reveal the child’s whereabouts. Instead,
she asserted that she intended to harm your child because she has a personal grudge against you. She has made a request to
talk to you alone.”
“Personal grudge?” Renee suddenly tensed up and seemed slightly more concerned now.
She had indeed made quite a few enemies by that point, and she knew that those who would hold grudges against her were
certainly no saints. If it was true that Adie had fallen into their hands, then perhaps her son was in much more of a bind than she
thought.
Renee clenched her hands and promptly asked, “Where is she? Let her come and talk to me!’
“Okay,” replied the police officer. He then spoke into the intercom, “Bring her in.”
Soon, the door to the interrogation room opened, and in came a woman whose hands were bound by handcuffs that glinted
under the light. It was Briar Desrosiers. Her face was stony and lifeless, but as soon as she saw Renee, it was as if she was
splashed with a bucket of ice-cold water. She seemed to be reanimated in an instant. With a cruel smirk on her face, she said,
“Why did you have to hurry over here so quickly, Renee Everheart? You should’ve just wait a little longer. Someone would’ve
gone to you and told you what became of your poor Adie!”

Renee tried her best to restrain herself from killing Briar right then and there. She coldly said, “You should’ve come straight to me
if you hold any grudges against me. Why did you have to lay your filthy hands on an innocent child? Aren’t you afraid of divine
retribution?”
“So now you’re talking about going straight to you instead of an innocent child, huh? Why didn’t you think of that when you killed
my baby and caused me to lose the chance to ever be a mother again?!”
Briar was now so agitated that she acted like a rabid dog, lunging toward Renee and screeched, “You’re the reason why my baby
died! Because of that, I’ll never give your son a chance to live a good life. God is so kind to you, isn’t he? He’s given you such an
adorable son! I do like the boy myself, but it’s too bad that he has your dirty blood in his veins. For that, I’ll do anything to make
sure he suffers a fate worse than death!”
“Soon enough, you’ll find out what happened to your poor child. By then, I wish that you’ll live the rest of your life plagued by guilt
and shame, because you’re the reason he had to suffer!”
The police officer quickly subdued her and sternly warned her, “That’s enough! Don’t force our hands or we’ll have to use a
tougher measure to contain you!”
“Go ahead!” Briar sneered sinisterly even as her head was pinned onto the table till her face was smooshed out of shape, putting
her in a humiliating position. “I’m not scared! Just do whatever tough measure you want on me! I don’t care anymore because
I’ve got what I wanted. That boy is ruined now! You will suffer for the rest of your life, Renee Everheart! Even if I die now, I’ll die
happy and in peace!”
Carmine Pawnshop was an infamous place in the underground market where anyone who stepped through its doors would have
no chance of turning back. Their boss, Mr. Q, was known to be Stefan Hunt’s deadliest enemy. It was not hard to guess at all
what kind of painful fate would befall Adie, with him being Stefan’s son.
After all, if Briar was going to attack Renee, she had better attack her where it would hurt the most, and what would hurt a
mother more than seeing her own child suffer?
Renee was so enraged that she trembled, but she still managed to keep herself under control. With a perfectly calm demeanor,
she asked the police officer, “Could you please leave this room for a while? I’d like to talk to her alone.
