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.

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?”

Ashton didn’t suspect anything and nodded.
