Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 129

Chapter 128

In the break room, the deeply asleep Briar was abruptly awakened by a phone call.

Being woken up mid–nap made her expression rather unpleasant. When she saw it was Georgiana calling, her irritation only intensified.

“You better have a good reason,” Briar snapped.

She was supposed to be on vacation right now.

Georgiana shivered at Briar’s icy tone. “Briar, I really didn’t want to call at this time, but something happened on your end.”

All of them had location access to Briar’s phone, so they knew exactly where she was, and it was currently her nap time. Briar’s notorious post–nap temper wasn’t something to take lightly.

“What happened?” Briar sat up and rubbed her throbbing temples.

Georgiana hesitated, then blurted, “Last night, two female students from Shoneport University disappeared after going out. This morning, their bodies were found with their organs cut open and dumped in a park near campus. And… there’s evidence pointing to you.”

Briar’s eyes narrowed. “What kind of evidence?”

Georgiana answered cautiously, “There’s surveillance footage showing you near the park… and your fingerprints were found on the bodies…”

Briar’s brows furrowed. “My fingerprints? Under which identity?”

Georgiana replied, “Just your plain, unimpressive Briar student identity.”

Briar’s voice turned glacial. “Looks like the rats from back then are finally poking their heads out again.”

Georgiana trembled on the other end. “Briar, are you okay? What are you going to do? When we got word, the evidence was already in the police’s hands. Do you have a way out? Should we…”
