Chapter 430
"Of course!" Leia agreed without any hesitation. She was just like her brother, and trusted Renee
completely. "Bestie, help me keep an eye on that guy, I trust your judgment."
Before Leia left, she smirked at Renee, then patted William on the shoulder. "Do your best, but if my
bestie won't give us her blessing, I will never marry you!"
"Don't worry, I'm confident that Miss Everheart can see how genuine my feelings are for you." William
smiled, looking at Renee with certainty." Right, Miss Everheart?"
"Maybe." Renee's lips curved upwards as she said mysteriously.
As the siblings left the ward together, the smile on Renee's face disappeared, and her gaze turned
cold. "Close the door, please."
William was rather cooperative, approaching Renee with a warm smile. "I'm sure you've already looked
into my past, Miss Everheart."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRenee seemed quite surprised, huffing coldly. "You're smarter than I thought."
"You're too kind, Miss Everheart. Leia talks about you a lot, so I know you're a devoted, careful, and
meticulous person. Now that your best friend is marrying all of a sudden, it's reasonable for you to look
into me."
"Good, not only are you intelligent, but you're quite understanding too. It's true that I can't nitpick
much." Renee had never expected William to be so humble. He wasn't mad that she looked into his
background, which made her feel slightly ashamed of her own actions.
"Come clean yourself then, what's your purpose of getting close to Leia?" Renee asked
straightforwardly, not intending to waste her time and energy. William smiled softly. "That's an odd
question, isn't it, Miss Everheart? I love Leia, so I approached her because I want to be with her. I'd like
to become her husband and stay together for eternity."
"Save it!" Renee's expression was filled with disdain. "You may be able to fool a sweet girl like Leia, but
you can't fool me. I know how twisted and obsessive your past relationship was. Besides, you're a
smart man, so you couldn't possibly have not known that your ex is considered a person of interest to
us."
"You mean Briar Desrosiers?" William's gaze shifted slightly, as his smile grew colder. "You have great
connections, Miss Everheart. I didn't expect you to find out about my terrible past..."
"That's right, Briar was indeed my first love. I was so in love with her that I went mad, and did a lot of
irrational things just to win her heart. But that's all in the past now, and I've tried my best to wipe the
slate clean."
"I don't know how you found out about that, but it doesn't matter. I just hope you won't bring this up
anymore, when I've already regained my rationality and want to start a new life. Please allow me to do
so, at the very least!"
Renee chuckled, her expression still frosty. "Don't act like a victim, I refuse to believe that you can fall
for someone new after loving her so obsessively! You must have a hidden motive!"

William didn't get mad at all, retorting, "Well, Miss Everheart, didn't you obsess over a man who didn't
love you back too? You ended up quite hurt yourself. So, does that mean you'd stop loving after that?"
Renee looked taken aback. "I'm different from you. You loved Briar Desrosiers, so you should know
what type of person she is. You-"
"And how is Stefan Hunt any better than Desrosiers? We share the same fate, so you're just a pot
calling the kettle black. If you can fall in love with someone new, why can't I?"
William tilted his head as he stared at Renee. "Or could it be that... you've never moved on from Stefan
Hunt, and you can't possibly fall for someone else?"
'That's not it!" Renee denied as she gritted her teeth.
"So there you have it... You had the same experience as I did, and you still fell in love with someone
else. So why can't I? You're just being critical because I fell for your best friend!"
"M-Maybe!" Renee replied, somewhat convinced
