Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 121

After replying to the message from Ashton, Briar didn’t even glance at the two fresh corpses lying on the ground with their eyes were con la death. She simply stepped over them, opened the door, shut it behind her, and quickly left the restroom.

Before leaving, she even flashed a devilish smile toward a certain corner.

The person hiding in the corner gritted his teeth in silence,

If looks could kill, he would’ve torn Briar into pieces a thousand times over.

His two companions were dead. They were killed by this very woman, yet he couldn’t reveal himself.

Because he couldn’t win. If he showed up, he’d just be throwing his life away.

He had to take advantage of the chaos and clean up the bodies before anyone found them, erase all traces of what happened.

Otherwise, if Ashton’s men caught wind of it, the trouble they’d face would be far worse.

Avoiding the security cameras‘ blind spots, Briar stashed her silenced pistol and found another restroom with fewer people. She washed her hands for a long time, making sure the scent of gunpowder had faded before leisurely returning to the screening room.

Almost the moment her figure appeared, Ashton stood up to greet her, took her hand, and led her back to her seat. In a low voice, he asked, “What took you so long?”

“The restrooms at the entrance were being cleaned. I had to use a farther one,” Briar explained.

Ashton didn’t suspect anything and nodded.

Watching Ashton’s overly eager expression, Stephen shook his head in helpless amusement.

It was just a trip to the restroom. Anyone unaware would think Ashton’s girlfriend had run off.

The movie was excellent, and the premiere received a great response. Many fans were moved to tears by the characters. After the screening came the premiere ceremony, where fans and reporters were allowed to enter.

Stephen went on stage with the rest of the cast and crew to thank the audience, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
