Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 217

Briar’s nonchalant look changed in a flash. She strode over to Hayden in a few swift steps and said, “Spit it out now, or keep it to yourself forever.”

Hayden was completely deflated now and nodded meekly. “Okay, okay, I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”

Briar shot Sasha a look, and she instantly understood. She yanked Hayden’s neck up higher, the knife almost digging into his artery. “Speak up.”

“Your mother… Ow!”

Hayden had barely gotten two words out before the knife slashed across his face.

Sasha sounded thrilled by the sight of blood, her voice laced with murderous intent. “Are you trying to insult Briar?”

Hayden was at a loss for words.

He thought, ‘Darn it! Seriously? I got stabbed for that?‘

But with his life in their hands, Hayden didn’t dare talk back. He just reluctantly changed his words. “I mean, Mrs. Jennings. Is that good enough?”

Sasha didn’t move the knife, which meant Briar approved of the new title.

“Mrs. Jennings was just a test subject for our lab’s first–generation experimental drug back then,” Hayden muttered curses under his breath but kept his tone respectful, watching Briar’s reaction as he spoke.

When her expression turned even colder, he stammered, “Let me just say, all that stuff was my grandpa and my dad’s doing, not mine. I was just a baby back then. You Can’t take it out on me.”

Sasha started moving the knife again.
