Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Hearing that, Ashton immediately sobered up, and his expression turned serious. “Check next door and see if Briar is home,” he said. His instincts told him this matter definitely had something to do with Briar.

Brandon was stunned for a moment before he asked, “Mr. Wade, do you think Miss Jennings is involved?”

‘No way, right? Miss Jennings had come over tonight to put Mr. Wade to sleep. It would take at least an hour to drive from Moonspring Estate to where the incident happened.

‘But wait a minute–if she was riding a motorcycle, and it was 3:30 a.m. with barely any traffic, it would be possible if she was skilled enough. And Miss Jennings… is Speed Queen Breel‘ he thought.

Brandon turned around and dashed out. “Mr. Wade, I’ll check righ

Ashton was already heading to the closet to get dressed. Actually, whether Brandon checked or not, he already knew the answer.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Brandon returned with his face pale with shock. “Mr. Wade, you’re right. Miss Jennings isn’t home. I checked her basement lab, and the motorcycle that was parked in the garage was gone too,” he said.

Ashton said while heading out, “Let’s go. We’ll deal with it when we find the person.”

‘As for who to look for? It’s of course Briar, who snuck out in the middle of the night! Brandon thought to himself.

Brandon couldn’t tell if Ashton was angry or amused at this point. Not many people could pull one over on Ashton like this. He didn’t even dare imagine what Ashton would do to Briar when they found her.

‘He can’t possibly resort to domestic violence, can he?‘ Brandon thought.

After starting the engine, Brandon kept sneaking glances at Ashton’s expression while driving. After a long silence, he finally spoke up, choosing his words carefully. “Uh, Mr. Wade, domestic violence… is shameful.”

“Do I seem like the type who’d lay a hand on my wife?” Ashton asked, and Brandon didn’t say anything, but his silence said it all.

Ashton let out a laugh of exasperation and said, “Relax, I don’t lay a hand on my wife.”
