Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Briar’s words were delivered in a measured tone, yet each one struck a chord with everyone present. Jewell even caught a hint of approval in the smile that tugged at the corner of Ashton’s lips.

Marvin, noticing Ashton’s indulgent expression, turned to Briar and said, “Briar, this incident is indeed a result of our school’s inadequate supervision. You have every right to make any demands.”

As for Jewell, well, with Ashton in the room, he didn’t dare to defend him.

Especially since Ashton had already caught Jewell in the wrong. Jewell feared that pleading for mercy would only make things worse.

Every time Marvin encountered Ashton, he found himself in a tough spot. Ashton was someone one couldn’t scold or criticize, and even more difficult to deal with than Griffin. Yet, in the end, Marvin always ended up being dealing with him.

It was quite perplexing. Most importantly, members of the Wade family were fiercely protective of their own, siding with family over right and

wrong.

So Marvin could only pin his hopes on Briar, hoping she wouldn’t be too harsh and would show some mercy.

Briar said, “Professor Morphew, remember the questions you targeted at me in class today? Let’s not even discuss that they were from senior–year courses, yet you insisted on making things difficult for a freshman like me.

“Let’s just say that your prejudice and accusations, based solely on a few photos and some people’s instigation, all stem from the assumption that I entered Shoneport University through special means, right?”

Briar had been smiling at Jewell just a second ago, but by the end of her sentence, her cold and defiant aura left him with nowhere to hide.

She emphasized the special means with her clear voice, while her eyes and expression remained somewhat gentle, creating a chilling yet
