Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 154

When Frank said that, no matter how you listened, it just sounded off. And when he got to the part about “taking her out,” his eyes were practically twinkling.

It was obvious he was dead serious and sincere about it. It was clear that he hated Emily.

Briar knew Frank wasn’t the type to be violent or aggressive, and she asked curiously, “What’s the deal? Do you not like her?”

Frank pouted, his face full of open dislike for Emily, “Who would ever like her? Among everyone in the Wade family, Justin’s family is just the worst. Seriously, every time I go back to the Wade Mansion, it’s always them who pick on me the most.

“Briar, you have no idea how rough my childhood was. All the misery I went through was thanks to Justin’s family. And don’t even get me “farted on Emily–every time she played tricks on me, she’d always end up luring me into the doghouse…”

Even though Frank sounded genuinely miserable, Briar almost burst out laughing as she thought, ‘Tricked into the doghouse? Is he serious?

‘Getting tricked into the doghouse once is bad enough, but every single time? That’s impressive!’

Frank grew increasingly upset as he spoke. He buried his face in Connor’s chest and sobbed, “There were a few times when she’d lock me in doghouse and just forget about me. I had to spend the whole night in there all alone. One time, it even started pouring rain in the middle of th and I cried and screamed, but nobody heard me…”

Connor gently patted Frank’s head and comforted, “There, there. You don’t be scared. Didn’t I come looking for you and get you out in the end?”

After that incident, Frank became especially attached to Connor. As long as Connor was around, Frank would cling to him like a little koala, following him everywhere he went.

After hearing Frank’s tragic tale, Briar barely managed to hold back her laughter and gave his shoulder a sympathetic pat.

“Even though you’re aware that Justin and his family are trouble, you still keep getting caught up in their schemes? That shows some impressive ability,” Briar thought.

“So, you want me to take out Emily? With these harmless hands of mine?” Briar teased as she held up her soft, delicate hands in front of Frank and wiggled her fingers.

Frank fell silent.

Ashton pulled Briar over to sit next to him and said, “Alright, let’s get down to business.”
