Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 177

“Wait… Ashton, are we seeing things?” Hamish asked as he rubbed his eyes hard, struggling to believe what he was witnessing.

Ashton’s lips, which had been tightly pressed together, finally relaxed into a relieved smile after a long moment of double checking. “Now it all makes sense,” he said.

Thinking back, Ashton remembered the sparkle in Briar’s eyes when she heard about the racing competition in the car. That wasn’t curiosity or excitement; she was already plotting how to deal with Sawyer.

Only that mysterious Speed Queen Bree could make Sawyer suffer a silent defeat on the track.

Hamish, who was deep in thought, quickly caught on as well. He switched the screen back to the live broadcast. He commented, “Ashton, if little Briar is that legendary, never–seen Speed Queen Bree, then Sawyer is seriously in for it.”

If one listened closely, they could hear the obvious glee in his voice–he was enjoying Sawyer’s misfortune.

Hamish took it all in stride. Now that he knew Briar was Speed Queen Bree, all he could feel for Sawyer was pity.

‘Poor guy. Of all the people you could’ve messed with, you chose Ashton. Now you’re being watched around the clock, and would probably have to sleep with one eye open just to stay safe.

‘And on top of that, you went and provoked Briar–the mysterious Speed Queen Bree. At this point, who knows if you’ll even make it off the track in one piece,‘ Hamish thought.

Ashton calmly sank back into the couch, all his earlier worry and tension gone. He even forced out a not–so–sincere chuckle, “Yeah, good luck to him.”

Seriously, Sawyer was going to need that.

Both he and Hamish could tell that Briar was gunning straight for Sawyer, and there was no way she’d let him walk off that track without a scratch.

Briar had no idea that, thanks to this race, Ashton had peeled back yet another layer of her disguise. She was laser–focused on crushing Sawyer at every single turn, and her relentless pressure was completely wrecking his confidence and mood.

Sawyer gritted his teeth and muttered, “Damn it, is this woman nuts or what?”
