Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 139

Chapter 138

Frank was filled with confidence, especially with Ashton and Briar both encouraging him.

Brandon added fuel to the fire, cheering, “Exactly! Not everyone can be as badass as Mr. Wade and the others, right? Go for it!”

With everyone backing him, Frank returned to Shoneport University, planning to start tailing Sawyer that very evening.

Watching Frank leave, Hamish looked a bit worried. “Ashton, you’re just gonna let that kid go? What if he gets caught? Could be dangerous.”

Ashton wasn’t concerned at all. “No need. He’s a Wade. Not just at Shoneport University. Even in Shoneport, no one dares touch someone from the Wade family. Unless someone doesn’t care about surviving in this city anymore, nobody would lay a finger on him.”

Briar leaned on her palm thoughtfully. “Mr. Wade, if no one dares to go after your family in Shoneport, then maybe… those two murdered girls weren’t, the real targets? Maybe it was me all along?”

The Wade family was the head of Shoneport’s four great families. They were indeed untouchable. So if Sawyer’s goal wasn’t the Wade family but her, maybe it was just a poor plan with too many holes… and they underestimated how much Ashton cared about her.

Ashton paused. “That’s possible.”

Briar had voiced the very concern that Ashton hadn’t wanted to say out loud. The same suspicion that Hamish had kept in his heart. ‘What had Briar done back in Qathana to attract this kind of attention? Enough to get targeted right after returning to Dasmieca, with two lives lost just to try and take her

out?‘

He thought maybe it could be related to her classified, untraceable personal records.

Hamish didn’t speak, clearly agreeing with Briar’s analysis.

Briar lowered her eyes. “Mr. Wade, how about we let…”
