Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 152

Upon hearing this, Edgar’s anger came an abrupt halt as he contemplated, ‘Yeah, with her current relationship with Ashton, if I could just get Briar to come back to the Jennings family… No, no, I’ve thought about this before. It’s not going to work. I’ve already tried to win her hack

But Briar was never going to give the Jennings family another chance.

With a heavy heart and a deep sense of regret, Edgar sighed, “It’s too late.”

Camden sensed what Edgar’s sigh meant, but he wasn’t willing to back down just yet. He felt a strong sense of responsibility for the future of the Jennings family. If he could make things even better before he officially took the lead, it would be a huge accomplishment

Besides, he wasn’t the one who had to swallow his pride and apologize to Briar.

He pressed on, “Dad, are you giving up? Briar is my sister and your daughter. What kind of grudge could she possibly have that would make her turn her back on her father?

“And if one apology doesn’t work, then make it two. If two don’t work, then make it three… As long as we can coax Briar back home, we’ll have the right to negotiate a partnership with the Wade Group.

“Come on, Dad! This is all for the sake of the company, for the sake of the Jennings family. You can’t give up so easily!”

Camden’s words finally swayed Edgar, and he thought, ‘Yeah, that’s right. No matter how capable Briar is, she’s still part of the Jennings family. A end of the day, she’s one of us.

“Everything Briar has done, and all those benefits she gained, should belong to the Jennings family.

*Even if Briar ends up mocking me, or if we fall out again, that father–daughter bond is something that can’t be broken.”

“Alright, I’ll try again,” Edgar finally agreed.

Camden’s face lit up at his words, and he added, “That’s what I’m talking about, Dad. You always told me that when there’s a 30% profit at stake, you put your pride and backbone aside. And if we can win Briar over, the benefits for us could be nearly 100%.”

Meanwhile, Briar, who had already stepped into the private room, had no idea what Edgar and Camden were talking about on the phone. She was too stunned by what she saw inside.

On the bar counter, next to the bartender, instead of the usual selection of drinks and cocktails, there was a surprising sight. About a third of the space was filled with seven or eight piping hot dishes, giving off an incredibly delicious aroma.
