Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 71

Thomas was captivated by Briar’s smile, so he didn’t notice the fleeting coldness in her eyes.

Briar’s demeanor and appearance were so striking that anyone who looked into her eyes would see her bright, pure gaze if she intended it. The laziness, nonchalance, and defiance in her eyes were easily overlooked.

However, Frank, who was closest to Briar, caught that glint of coldness.

Frank furrowed his brows slightly. He had been in the office yesterday and knew who had posted the defamatory comments about Briar on the forum. He also knew why Briar hadn’t asked for the posts to be removed.

Although Frank was aware that Briar wasn’t the type to take out her frustrations on others, he was still anxious about her reaction upon seeing Thomas.

He was worried that if she was in a bad mood, she might take it out on Thomas.

Frank knew Thomas well. If Frank found out that his sister had caused such a big trouble behind the scenes, he would definitely distance himself from Abbie and force her to apologize to Briar in person.

Frank had been warned by Ashton not to mention yesterday’s incident to Thomas, but since Thomas was his friend, he felt a bit guilty for not giving him a heads–up.

As the time for the public lecture drew closer, everyone was on edge for her, but it seemed that only Briar herself showed no signs of

nervousness.

She had spent the past few days holed up in the office, seemingly busy and focused on studying the materials. But Frank had seen her achieve ten consecutive wins in a game whenever he came to check on her.

It seemed that the big shot wasn’t nervous at all.

Frank mentioned this to Ashton, but Ashton didn’t seem to react.

‘Well, the mental fortitude of the big shots is just different from, that of ordinary people. No need to worry anymore,‘ he wondered.
