Chapter 114

As soon as Briar finished speaking, Tristan, who had been shaking his head in the video, suddenly froze.

He said, “Hello? What’s going on? The signal suddenly got bad.”

Briar was at a loss for words.

She thought, ‘This stingy old man.‘

Briar said irritably, “Come on, stop pretending. I personally arranged the signal on the island. When has it ever been bad?

“You’re a miracle doctor worth tens of millions. Can you stop being so cheap and send the money already?”

The video call was cut off instantly, not giving Briar a chance to talk Tristan into anything else.

Briar was at a loss for words.

‘Maybe I should just give up on such a stingy mentor,‘ she thought.

Not bothering to call back, Briar messaged Alexia, asking if she’d been shooting her mouth off to Tristan again.

Alexia immediately ghosted her.

Briar was so exasperated by these guys, she actually burst out laughing.

She was speechless to a whole new level.

At eleven sharp, Briar showed up at Ashton’s bedroom door. At Brandon’s signal, she knocked, but after a while, there was still no answer

from inside.

“Did Ashton fall asleep already?” Briar asked Brandon, who was standing next to her.

Brandon shook his head. “No way! Maybe he just didn’t hear you. It’s fine, Miss Jennings, you can just go right in.”

As he spoke, Brandon reached out, pushed the door open, and gestured for Briar to enter.

Under Brandon’s eager gaze, Briar walked in.

As the door slowly closed behind her, she glanced around the room, and her eyes finally settled on the tightly shut bathroom door.

She could hear water running inside. She felt that Ashton was probably still in the shower and hadn’t heard her knock.

Before Briar could do anything, the water stopped. Soon, a tall, blurry figure appeared behind the bathroom door.
