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.”

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…”
