Chapter 488

"Thank you for all your hard work. I'll excuse myself now."

Renee then nodded slightly at the police officers, turned around, and left.

Meanwhile, Liam and Leia had been anxiously waiting for Renee in the waiting area. As soon as they saw her coming out, they rushed toward her in excitement.

"You're finally out, Boss! So what's the situation? Do we know Adie's whereabouts now?"

Renee had no desire to say too much, so she simply told them, "If you see Briar Desrosiers coming out later, capture her immediately. She knows where Adie is."

"Briar Desrosiers?" Leia lost her temper as soon as she heard the woman's name. "That nasty b*tch! Why does it have to be her again? Don't tell me that she's the one who kidnapped Adie?"

Renee neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, she turned to Liam and said, "I must rely on you for this. I believe the Osborne family is vastly experienced in this sort of matter."

The Osborne family started their business by dealing with many underground groups and black markets. They made their name by constantly dancing on the knife's edge, so they inevitably picked up a torture method or two along the way. They certainly had more than enough skills to make Briar Desrosiers sing.

Renee had intended to let Briar go once she obliged her and revealed Adie's whereabouts, but it seemed that the gentle method did not work on Briar, so she could not be blamed for resorting to the cruel method instead.

The only reason she asked the police to release Briar just now was to make it more convenient for them to "have a nice talk" with Briar later.

"Don't worry," Liam assured her, his captivating eyes gleaming with a frightening cold light. "I'll make sure she reveals every single detail she knows soon."

In the past, Stefan had always protected Briar, so he had to be careful and not go too far when dealing with her. But now that her protector was gone, he had nothing to worry about anymore!

Briar was startled when she heard the news that she would soon be released, but it also came as a pleasant surprise for her. "Mr. Hunt demanded you to release me, didn't he? I knew it! Stefan would never abandon me!"

Briar wept with joy and wiped her tears away excitedly.

"You're free now, so just hurry up and go! Don't waste our time here with your nonsense!"

The police officer kept hastening her to leave, and was in no mood to chat with her.

Now that she had regained her freedom, the first thing Briar thought of doing was to pick up her phone and call Stefan.

But no one answered her call.

"This can't be right. Stefan wouldn't ignore me after getting me out of jail. Unless..."

Briar was no fool. She immediately sensed that there was something fishy going on. Now was not the safest time for her to leave the police station.

Just as she was trapped in a dilemma, someone gently patted her on the back...

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Desrosiers?"

Briar turned around. She was somewhat puzzled when she recognized the person in front of her.

"J-Jovan Hunt?"

Jovan smiled affably with his hands in his pockets.

"You're okay, aren't you? Stefan asked me to take you home
