Chapter 75

Briar had intended to refuse, but upon hearing Ashton’s words and catching sight of the people running toward them from a distance, she relented. “Alright, then. Thanks for offering to take me home, Ashton.”

Joshua chuckled and shrugged at the senior experts. “See? I told you she was tired and wanted to rest. We’ll catch up with her when she’s back in class. Let’s go chat with Marvin. He’s the one who personally recruited Briar.”
