Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 118

Since Briar had already agreed to go to the movies with Ashton that evening, she didn’t hesitate at all when he invited her to dinner.

Because of her special status in Qathana, Briar always kept her style low–key and loose. Her most common outfit was a plaid shirt with jeans.

That evening, Briar still showed up in front of Ashton in her usual shirt and jeans.

But this time, she swapped the plaid shirt for a white one and changed her ponytail hair tie.

For the first time ever, she wore a pair of diamond earrings.

The change wasn’t dramatic, but it was enough to draw attention.

Ashton immediately noticed the change in Briar tonight.

His eyes lit up ever so slightly, and he smiled as he opened the car door for her. “You look beautiful today, Briar.”

Briar looked up at Ashton, unflustered. “Thank you. You too.”

Ashton had ditched his usual formal suit today, and even those gold–rimmed glasses he wore to look all scholarly were gone.

Instead, he was dressed in a set of custom–tailored casual wear that still screamed understated luxury.

He had long legs, a tall build, and an effortlessly aloof, aristocratic vibe.

If Ashton simply glanced their way, every girl in the area would be falling head over heels for him.

Ashton was clearly pleased with Briar’s compliment. He flashed her an absolutely dazzling grin.

Brandon, acting as the driver tonight, had already decided he was just going to be the background.

No matter how shamelessly flirty Ashton got, he was determined to keep his cool.

But honestly, that ridiculously charming smile of Ashton’s almost made him break character.

Luckily, their little exchange of compliments only happened that once. Once they got in the car, everything went back to normal.

The Wade Group was one of the investors in the movie “The Emperor’s Edict.”

Naturally, the premiere was held at one of their own theaters–the largest cinema in Shoneport, Bright Cinema.
