Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

“It’s my fault. I should’ve gotten here sooner,” Ashton said, holding Briar close, his hand gently soothing her back.

After making sure she wasn’t hurt, he coaxed her gently, “Are you hurt?”

Briar shook her head and said, “No, I fought back. I even just lightly kicked them out of the car. All three of them tried to squeeze into the backseat at once. It was so scary. I had no idea what they were trying to do…” She whimpered, putting on a pitiful act.

The three kidnappers were dumbfounded. ‘Just a gentle kick? You sure about that?‘ the kidnappers thought in disbelief.

Ashton’s face darkened, and the same with Hamish and Reece behind him. Briar was too innocent and had no idea why three grown men squeezed into

the backseat with her.

But as men themselves, they knew all too well about men’s innate depravity. They could guess what those three had in mind for Briar.

There was no need for Ashton to give any orders. Brandon immediately grabbed the tattooed kidnapper, lifted him off the ground, and growled with murderous intent, “You’re all dead!”

The three kidnappers were on the verge of tears. Although they had guts and nerves, no way they would reveal the real reason.

It was because they noticed how skilled Briar was, and out of fear that something might go wrong halfway through, they decided to gang up to subdue her. But their men’s pride was on the line–no way they would ever say that out loud.

Brandon wouldn’t give them a chance to talk either. He waved his men over and had the three dragged away, ready to teach them a real lesson back at

the base.

The subordinates were furious, too. ‘Miss Jennings is still so young; how could they even bring themselves to lay a hand on her?

‘Uh… But of course, Ashton’s not included. It’s just an older guy dating a younger girl, and it’s with Miss Jennings’s consent, which is totally above board they thought.

On the way to get the car, the subordinates didn’t hold back, giving the kidnappers a good beating. Their screams echoed nonstop, but honestly, no one felt the slightest bit sorry for them.
