The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 991

William pat Renee on the shoulder after seeing her panicked reaction. "Don't worry. You're Leia's friend. She'd be upset if something were to happen to you, so I won't run my mouth either."

Renee seemed conflicted, taking a deep breath as she looked toward the man. "You have to promise you won't tell a single soul, and I mean it. I know I did something bad, but I want to wait till the right time to put an end to it all."

"Miss Everheart, you don't have to tell me anything. I don't think you're wrong at all. Desrosiers deserved it! Let's just pretend none of this ever happened. We'll bring this secret to our graves," William said coldly and resolutely.

The woman didn't doubt William's words at all. A frosty expression like that indicated that his love had completely run cold. However, she just couldn't understand how people could behave so indifferently after they've had a change of heart.

She knew just how much William used to love Briar after all. He was even willing to trick Leia just for her sake, offering himself to become the absolute jerk in their stories.

"I don't get you, Jones. Wasn't Desrosiers your one true love? How could you be so calm when you know I have something to do with her death? And you aren't going to take revenge for her? You're even… willing to hide the truth from me?" Renee asked after some pondering.

She wasn't afraid that William was trying to fool her, but she just wished to obtain an answer, as this had been a thorn in her heart for the longest time.

If the man called the cops on her now or used this as an excuse to threaten her, she would be willing to accept it as well, as she was well prepared to face the consequences.

"One true love? You must be joking. I was just obsessed because she wouldn't love me back…" William squinted his eyes and sighed. "Briar Desrosiers has committed far too many crimes, so she deserved to die like that. You were doing the world justice, so don't be too harsh on yourself."
