Briar sneered. "Oh, | forgot. You're blind now, and I'm wearing a mask. You don't know who I am."

Renee clenched her fists, her lips tightly pursed. She knew she had guessed right, and she had no choice but to

face her, no matter how afraid she was to do it.

"You remember?” Briar saw Renee's expression, and her gaze slowly turned fierce and hateful. "You pushed me

down the cliff, and | was crushed. | was in so much pain that | wanted to die, but | managed to crawl out of that

hell because | told myself that | shouldn't be defeated that easily. No matter what, | had to take you down with

me. Well, it certainly looks like | made the right choice." Briar sized Renee up, smirking when she saw Renee's

empty and scarred eye sockets. "If | didn't hold on back then, | wouldn't have been able to see you turn this ugly

and miserable! Not so smug now, are we?" "Ms. Desrosiers, watch your tongue." Jovan shot Briar a cold glance

and warned her. "I didn't bring you here to hurt her." "It's okay." Renee took a deep breath, her expression calm.

"I did mistreat her, so it's okay if she hates me. But | want to say that I didn't push you off that cliff on purpose-it

was an accident because | was trying to protect myself." She could still remember that scene vividly. Briar had

aggressively forced Renee to the edge of the cliff, and if Renee hadn't fought back, she would have fallen off it.

Even if she could reverse time, Renee would still make the schoice because she couldn't bear to leave

behind all the people she loved.

"See-you admitted you pusheddown the cliff! You admitted that you're a murderer!"

Briar fiercely accused Renee.

Jovan stood in front of Renee protectively and snapped at Briar, "You're the one who provoked her, so you've got

no right to blher. She did it in selfdefense because you were trying to kill her; | don't think she's done

anything wrong." "Hmph! Yeah, it might have been self-defense... but why didn't she cand saveafter

she pusheddown the cliff? Why didn't she get help for me? She just letdie, so how can you say she's not

wicked?" Briar had hated Renee before this, but her hatred for her had intensified while she was recovering from

falling off the cliff. Even if she had poisoned Renee and gotten her revenge, she still could not let go of her

hatred.

"I don't know if she's wicked or not, but you certainly are," Jovan scoffed.

"Well, | don't deny that. If | wasn't, | wouldn't be working with you," Briar calmed herself down and said

meaningfully.

Renee immediately tensed. "What do you mean? What are you both planning?" "Calm down. Jovan and | are just

taking what we need," Briar said smugly.

Jovan looked at Renee and sighed. "Stop overthinking. I'll never harm you no matter what | do." "Jovan, don't get

close to Briar..." Renee clenched her fists and said sharply, "You might seem wicked sometimes, but you can still

change. She, however, is a thoroughly vicious person."
