Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 131

“Briar, get in the car,” Ashton called out, noticing she hadn’t followed him. He turned and waved her over.

Briar responded softly and obediently walked over, getting into the car. Her face at the moment looked nothing but well–behaved.

As usual, Hamish was driving, following closely behind Brandon’s car. “Ashton, what’s your plan next? Are we going to dig deeper into this?”

Thiago had stepped in, which meant certain things couldn’t be brought to light. Otherwise, the image of the police would be affected. The officials had always been masters at covering things up. They preferred to suppress matters and deal with them under the table.

But none of them expected that some people’s influence could reach this far, even to the point of bribing a district police chief,

Ronan didn’t hold real power in Shoneport, a place where powerful and influential figures were abundant. He still had the Haynes family of Shoneport’s four great families behind him.

Bribing him was faster and more efficient than reeling in someone else.

“Something’s not right. Ronan’s always been obedient to his father–in–law. Why is he suddenly so bold this time?” Hamish frowned.

Ronan was basically a live–in son–in–law. Usually, he got bossed around by his wife and listened to his father–in–law without question. This time, he was usually bold.

Plotting against Briar and the Jennings family was one thing, but now that Briar had Ashton backing her, anyone with a working brain would have to think real hard about whether they had enough lives to risk going up against a big shot like Ashton.

Ashton nodded. “It’s indeed out of character for him.”

He hadn’t lashed out at Ronan on the spot precisely because of that.

A man who was always timid wouldn’t suddenly change his way of doing things overnight.

Briar sat in the back seat, resting her chin on one hand as she looked out the window. Hearing the conversation between the two, her “Maybe he really didn’t know anything.”

Ashton was surprised. “Briar, did you discover something?”
