Ian shuddered. If Ashton’s guess was right and Tristan was also involved in the plot against Rosalia back then, then everything Briar believed in would crumble.

lan could even imagine Briar cutting Tristan into pieces and throwing him into the sea to feed the sharks.

Brandon grew tense and sped up, hoping to get there before the missus completely lost control.

He had a feeling that even with Reece and Hamish there, they might not be able to control her.

Apparently, Ashton’s fears were soon confirmed.

Ten minutes later, Reece called.

“Damn it! Ashton, your wife has lost it. The two of us can’t stop her. Where are you? Hurry up…”

Before Reece could finish, three gunshots brought the call to an abrupt end.

Ashton’s breathing grew heavy. “Brandon, drive faster.”

Brandon said, “Understood!”

The atmosphere in the car was tense and quiet. Brandon and Ian, sitting in the front, had heard Reece’s call.

The last three gunshots, in particular, made their hearts pound.

Brandon wished he could drive the SUV at supersonic speed. The situation had gotten serious.

Just then, Ashton’s phone rang again. It was not a call from Reece, but from Ruben.

Ruben said, “Ashton, we’ve retrieved Zeke’s safe–deposit box from Shrewy Bank…”

Ashton’s expression darkened. “What was in the safe–deposit box?”

In fact, Ashton did not need to wait for Ruben’s answer. He could already guess from the gravity of his tone.

Sure enough, Ruben sighed. “Inside the safe–deposit box was Zeke’s handwritten confession about how he had conspired with the Lopez family to harm Rosalia, step by step…”

The truth and its consequences were too cruel for Ruben to speak of.

Larry snatched the phone and asked, “Ashton, what’s the situation on your end? Have you found Briar? We must keep this from her for now. Otherwise, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the shock.”
