Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 248

The four of them sat on the sofa in the living. Briar and Ashton sat on the left, while Jabari and Jasmin sat on the right, creating an atmosphere of confrontation.

Ashton sat there with his arms crossed. He did not even have to speak; the blank stare he gave the two of them was unsettling enough.

His

presence was just too intense.

Jabari and Jasmin did not dare to look up under Ashton’s stare and kept shrinking back into the sofa.

Briar gave Ashton a subtle nudge, signaling him to stop scaring them. Any more and Jasmin would start crying.

Ashton finally looked away.

Briar quickly asked, “Jabari, is there a reason you two are sneaking around my doorstep this early to ambush me?”

As she spoke, she frantically shot glances at Jabari, who was looking up at her, warning him not to misspeak.

Although Ashton had thoroughly scared him, Jabari still knew what to say and what not to.

Seeing Briar’s nervous expression, he gave her a reassuring smile. “Oh, it is like this. We have not had much to do these few days and just wanted to travel around. My wife heard you were back in Qathana, so we came to hang out with you…”

“Come up with another excuse. This one isn’t convincing.” Before Jabari could finish, Ashton cut him off coldly.

The others were speechless.

Indeed, such a meaningless excuse might fool an ordinary person, but it was hard to convince Ashton.

Jasmin looked to Briar for help. “Briar, we really came to find you…”
