Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 109

The treasure that he had cherished for his entire life had always been properly preserved and carefully placed, and now that it was packed in a plastic pocket by Penelope in such a careless manner, Williams could only feel his heart drop.

"Miss..."

When Penelope faintly signaled, Kevin handed the ring to Williams.

Williams was delighted, he thought that Penelope was generous enough to want to return his ring to him.

"...Ms. Reed, I didn't expect that not only are you beautiful, but you also have a good heart." His right hand could not wait to get back the trigger finger that originally belonged to him.

Who knows, in the next second, Penelope's voice came out lightly, "Since you sincerely want to change your ways, show us your sincerity and smash it with a hammer."

"What?"

Smash?!

Williams thought he had heard wrong.

Was this valuable treasure of his going to be smashed just because of Penelope’s frivolous words? Williams choked up silently, and his breath almost did not come up.

"This ring is worth at least a billion dollars on the market, and it's just going to be smashed?" Williams had not come back to his senses.

"Wasn't it you who said that you would compensate me? I think this ring is not so important, or is it that... Mr. Mendez can't bear to part with it?" She looked at Williams's changing face, without a trace of excess emotion on her face.

Could not bear to part with it?! It was more than being unable to give up! It was simply worse than killing him!

But right now, if he wanted to calm down Penelope's anger and save the entire Mendez Clan... Williams’s mind should calculate how to choose in the end.

After a pause.

Finally gritted his teeth and said word for word, "...Give me the hammer."

The crowd heard him.

They were instantly thrilled, and all came together to see the fun.

"My God, he is going to do it for real!"

"... That ring is so valuable. It would be a real pity if it really just got smashed."

"Williams's heart is bleeding."

Listening to the crowd's murmurs…

Williams dropped the hammer in his hand. His whole body seemed to have been drained of all strength. His eyes were staring dead at the ring that had cracked and there was reluctance in him... There was also a hint of unwillingness.

In the end, he collected all his emotions. Raising his head, his eyes looked towards Penelope's position, and with a hint of currying favor in his tone, he said, "Ms. Reed, this ring is already broken, and you've seen my sincerity."

She shrugged her shoulders in a careless manner, her tone lightly twisting her mouth.

"Well, not bad..."

At least it achieved hurting his feelings and silenced him.

"Then can our previous grudges be wiped out?" This was asked carefully, for fear that Penelope would hold on to it and lay hands on the Mendez family.

"The grudges between us can be wiped off, but what your granddaughter Kyla did is not so easy to forget."
