Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 161

Ashton had already spotted Briar stepping out of the Jennings family home. Seeing her a bit dazed when she noticed him, he couldn’t help but laugh “I’m here to pick you up.”

Even before Briar called, Ashton’s car was already nearby. He had planned just to watch her leave safely, but after hanging up, he told his driver, Connor, to drive in.

Briar and Edgar were already like oil and water. Ashton was worried she might suffer if left alone with the Jennings family, and he wasn’t about to let anyone mess with his girl.

He couldn’t just let his person be bullied.

Briar’s eyes curved into a smile, and she couldn’t hide the grin on her lips. However, she still pretended to be in a tough spot and asked, “What about my

bike?”

Ashton glanced at Connor, who immediately got the hint and stepped forward. He proposed, “Miss Jennings, how about I drive your bike back for you?”

Briar pulled out her car keys without hesitation and tossed them to Connor, “Sure.”

Afterward, she hopped into the passenger seat that Ashton had opened for her.

After Ashton drove off with Briar, Connor held onto the motorcycle keys as he walked up to the Jennings family’s gate. Instead of hopping on the bike right away, he strode straight into the Jennings family’s yard.

Ashton drove fast but steady, and the ride back to Moonspring Estate was smooth. The two of them were chatting, but the moment they saw two people squatting by Briar’s front door, they instantly fell silent.

There was a man and a woman at the door. It was Ellen, and a man Ashton didn’t recognize. Ashton frowned, pulling the car up beside them without slowing down, and stopped.

Once she recognized the man, Briar’s eyes grew calm and turned to Ashton, saying, “Ashton, this is my friend.”

Afterward, she pushed open the car door and greeted, “Seth, what are you doing here?”

Seth had already seen who was in the car as it approached, so when it stopped next to them, he didn’t move. When Briar got out, he flashed her a big grin, “Briar, I’m back.”
