Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

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.”

Having already exposed one identity, Briar didn’t want to draw more attention to herself, so she decided to use Ashton’s influence as a shield

for now.

The smile on Ashton’s lips was irrepressible. “You’re welcome.”

Brandon, walking alongside them, was momentarily stunned. ‘Ashton, you’re grinning like a foot!

The three of them left quickly. By the time the traditional medicine bigwigs arrived, dragging Joshua along in a rush, Ashton had already escorted Briar out of the school gate, across the street, and toward Moonspring Estate.

“Another step too late,” they sighed.

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.”

Joshua wisely passed the hot potato to Marvin. As the principal, it was his responsibility to deal with such matters.

The experts agreed. Briar was a special admittee to Shoneport University, and Marvin had handled her entire recruitment process. He would definitely know more about her situation than Joshua, her mentor.

“Yeah, let’s head to Marvin’s office,” one of them said.

“Theard he’s got some great coffee there. We can have a chat,” another added.

So, the group turned toward Marvin’s office.

However, the door was tightly shut. Marvin had already left.
