Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 516

Leia wholeheartedly believed that life should be lived to the fullest, without stress or misery. That was all she

wanted for her best friend. At the very least, she didn't want Renee to give up on romance at the young age of

thirty all because of a selfish scumbag!

'Isaac has another performance in a few days, so why don't we go back then and have a good time? Also, I heard

that The Blue Inn hires handsome new performers every few days or so. They always fight for the top spot, so if

you get bored of Isaac, we can always find you someone else. You know, I think we should try to view relationships

the way men do. We should only care about their appearance, and never get emotionally invested. That way, well

never get hurt, right?"

Renee chuckled, her eyes gleaming with mirth. "Leia, what happened to you? In the past, all you talked about was

undying love; you'd even pray for a man who loved you with all his heart. How did you come to this sudden

realization?"

"Well, I guess it was when I got fooled by that scumbag." Leia let out a long sigh.

"William is a pretty good actor. He was playing me like a fiddle the whole time! Did you say that poison was fake?

Why didn't it kill him? I can only blame myself for not shooting him and killing him back then!" Leia growled,

stomping her foot in frustration.

"Alright, don't get upset. I think he's realized what he's done wrong, and he risked his life to make up for it. If you

still can't move on, give him another chance. You don't have to worry about me -1 won't mind." Renee could tell

that Leia still hadn't moved on despite how much she claimed she hated William.

That's because the opposite of loving someone wasn't hatred, it was indifference.

The more Leia said she hated him, the more obvious it was that she loved him. William still had an important place

in her heart, and his betrayal had hurt her deeply. However, Renee knew Leia was a devoted friend, and she would

feel bad getting back with William after what he did to Renee; that was why Leia had cut off all ties with William.

'Fat chance! I've seen through his facade, and I can't trust him anymore. With a place like The Blue Inn, I can meet

handsome, young men every night. Why would I give up all that for one guy?" Leia hugged Renee's arm like a child.

"I don't care, you're going there with me again! Friends have to share good things with each other, and looking at

attractive men is one of those things!"

Renee couldn't say no. "Alright, alright. I'll go with you."

After drinking her soup, Renee switched on her computer to settle some matters related to Azure Group. Azure

Group was now entering a period of rapid growth, and it needed more investments. However, the company was

seriously lacking finances. With their source of capital cut off, she needed to find an alternative, or their four years

of hard work would go down the drain.

Liam had been contributing far too much over the years, so Renee was too embarrassed to ask the Osborne family

for more financial aid. Additionally, the families in Beach City that were capable of offering help were all on the

Hunt family’s side. Naturally, they wouldn't help the Hunt family's rival.

'Ahh, what a pain!' Renee grumbled inwardly.

Suddenly, Renee received a call, and she answered it cautiously.

The voice on the other end of the line was soft and magnetic. "Been a while, hasn't it? I heard you're in need of

cash.
