Ashton’s gaze darkened. “So that was his plan… drag you under with him, no matter the cost?”

‘No matter the cost?‘ Ashton thought. Ashton’s demeanor turned cold immediately, his expression darkening as he pulled out his phone. “Connor, locate Sawyer immediately…”

Before Ashton could finish, Briar quickly interrupted him. “Ashton, don’t kill him yet. I still need him alive.”

Ashton’s voice remained icy, yet he listened to Briar. “He tried to kill you. We can’t allow him to live much longer.”

Briar nodded. “I understand. Don’t worry; I’m not planning to let him live much longer. Just give me a few more days–I need to check something first.”

Only then did Ashton stop Connor from pursuing Sawyer. “Ashton, don’t be upset. Sawyer is being watched by you, me, and everyone else in Shoneport. He’s not going to stir up any trouble now,” Hamish interjected.

Hamish was uncertain about Briar’s intentions, but in his eyes, she had transformed into someone extraordinary. When she mentioned that Sawyer wouldn’t have much longer to live, he thought she might genuinely be the one to bring about his end. He could hardly contain his anticipation for it to happen.

With the drama behind them, the group quickly left without lingering. Even after their departure, the guards at the racetrack entrance remained unaware that they were gone.

In the car, Hamish handed Briar a bank card. “Briar, here’s your prize money from the race–30 thousand dollars.”

Briar was surprised. “That much?”

Hamish explained, “Do you think that’s a lot? Most of the crowd placed their bets on Sawyer to win. Only Aston and I wagered on you, which significantly changed the odds.” If the two hadn’t assumed the gamble was insignificant and merely placed a small bet to support her, everyone who wagered on Sawyer would be in tears over their losses right now.

“Alright, I’ll take it,” Briar said with a satisfied grin as she accepted the card. She never turned down easy money.
