Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 141

Sawyer was most likely the real murderer of the two female students at Shoneport University. Before Ashton and the police had solid evidence, Frank didn’t mention it to anyone else.

So, when everyone saw Frank acting so abnormally toward an insignificant, powerless school doctor, even Ted and Mason were curious.

Frank waved his hand. “Isn’t it just because he’s deliberately trying to get close to our junior? I’m just helping to get rid of him.”

Mason immediately accepted this reasoning and laughed heartily. “So you’re afraid Sawyer will steal her from our traditional medicine department! That’s not happening. Little Briar is so outstanding, she has to be our department’s treasure.”

Briar nodded. “Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t meet him alone.”

If Sawyer were really one of those people, it wouldn’t be her job to take him out. There were plenty of others willing to do the job.

Frank said, “After tonight, you and I will be the center of attention. You can also use the students

Having finished his serious talk, Frank grinned and offered some senior wisdom. “So? What kind of student council won’t give them to you, I’ll find a way to get them for you myself.”
