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.

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.

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.”
