Chapter 1652

"Let's not hurry. It's a long night, and there's so much we can do..." Despite Stefan's anger, Briar was

calm.

"Forget it if you don't want to say it. I don’t have time to waste on you." Stefan glared at Briar coldly and

turned to leave. He wasn't intending to leave, he just wanted to make Briar think he was.

"Wait!" Briar became anxious as expected, and stopped him immediately." Shouldn't you give me

something in exchange for the information?"

Speechless, Stefan turned back to Briar.

"I know that we can't be a couple. I don't care about forever as long as I have it once... You have to

stay with me from now until tomorrow morning. If you make me happy, I'll give you the components of

the poison," Briar said finally. She hadn't been teasing Stefan earlier-she really did want his body.

"Enough is enough, Briar!" Stefan's disgust for her grew. He thought that Briar was merely joking, and

didn't know a woman could be this shameless.

"That's the only thing I want. Stay if you're willing. If not, you can go back and try to come up with other

ways. I want to see if your beloved woman can hold on until you come up with an antidote..." Briar sat

on a boulder and leisurely played with her hair, then said lightly, "I've already died once, so I have a lot

of time to waste. I don't mind getting another person to die with me."

"You're mad. You're out of your mind!" Stefan's eyes were wild. He couldn't comprehend Briar's

request. How could something like this happen to him? How did he even encounter such a crazy

woman?

"Calm down, it's one night in exchange for your beloved woman's life. It's not a loss... Plus, my looks

aren't so bad either. Yes, my face is ruined, but

my body still looks good." Then, she stood up and took off her mask, revealing her scarred face.

"Your face..." Stefan drew in a startled breath, his body tensing. He had guessed that her face might be

injured, but he didn't expect it to be this serious. No wonder she had such a twisted mind now.

"Magnificent, isn't it?" Briar laughed bitterly. "I told you I'm in a living hell, and death means nothing to

me. I can't live with this face; I only feel like living until we're together again..."

"Can't you let me go? Why do you have to torture me like this?"

"I can't, and I wish I knew why. I love you..." Briar got closer to Stefan. "It's all because of Renee that

my face ended up like this. Can't you atone for her sins?"
