Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 267

apter 267

Ashton carried Briar all the way back to the villa and up to the second–floor bedroom. “Babe, let me put you on the bed to rest for a while, okay?”

Briar was in a terrible state. She had been silent the entire journey, not dazed or crying, but cold and distant.

Ashton was not mistaken.

Briar’s expression was cold, emotionless, and quiet.

This was not normal.

Seeing Briar like this, Ashton felt his heart clench painfully.

Briar nodded, obediently released her arms from around Ashton’s neck, took off her shoes and clothes, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers over herself.

Ashton frowned, feeling that Briar was a stranger at that moment.

She said, “Honey, I want to be alone.”

Ashton knew it was not a good idea to leave her alone at a time like this.

But seeing the determined look in Briar’s eyes, Ashton still nodded. “Alright, I’ll talk to the two uncles first.”

Ashton leaned over to tuck Briar in and coaxed her softly, “Promise me, whatever it is, you’ll wait until I get back to talk about it, okay?”

Briar lowered her gaze. “Okay.”

Ashton then got up. Before closing the door, he watched Briar for a long moment, still worried.

However, Briar just lay there quietly, her eyes dim and emotionless.

Ashton sighed silently and closed the door.

What Ashton didn’t know was that the moment he closed the bedroom door, a murderous glint flashed in Briar’s dull eyes as she lay on the bed.

Briar pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed a number. “Memphis, did you find the exact location for the coordinates lan sent you?”

Memphis’s voice was cautious on the other end of the line. “I found it. It’s in a remote mountain hollow in Shoneport, Dasmieca. And their security guards are all …”

“Send me the location.” Briar cut him off before he could finish.

Memphis stammered, “Y… Yes.”
