Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 263

Although she was skeptical of Ashton’s words, Briar still chose to trust him.

If he dared to go back on his word tonight, she would just kick him out.

Ashton lowered his eyes, hiding the sharp glint that flashed across them as he deftly diverted Briar’s attention. “It’s still early. Let me hold you while we get some more sleep.”

“I’m not sleeping anymore. You should get up too.” Briar didn’t dare to sleep any longer.

Ashton was still watching her with a predatory gaze.

“Okay.” Ashton didn’t push it and obediently got out of bed.

The two of them quickly got ready and went to the Grant family’s villa for breakfast with her two uncles.

The breakfast was more lavish and nutritious than usual, mostly featuring medicinal dishes to replenish energy and blood, which made Briar feel completely overwhelmed.

Her neck was a mess of hickeys from Ashton, so much so that even concealer couldn’t hide them. In the end, she had to wear a turtleneck.

Briar was certain her two uncles had figured out why she was suddenly wearing a turtleneck.

At the thought, Briar’s face burned, and she lifted her foot to stomp hard on Ashton’s.

When she saw that Ashton wince in pain without daring to cry out or pull away, the knot of frustration in her chest finally eased a little.

“Ashton, are the results of Freddie’s interrogation in yet?” Ruben asked, pretending not to see the couple flirting under the table.

Ashton’s expression turned serious. “The interrogation is almost complete. However, regarding Brody, Freddie would only say that he’s still conducting research in the lab. He refuses to say anything else.”

Larry snorted. “Does he think you won’t kill him? Is he trying to use his life as a bargaining chip?”

Ashton nodded. “That’s his plan.”

But that depended on whether Freddie was even qualified to negotiate.

Freddie thought that by leveraging Briar’s vulnerability, he could force Ashton to submit.

He was really overestimating himself.

“So what’s your plan?” Ruben asked, glancing at Briar’s distressed look.
