Chapter 273

Ashton’s survival instinct went into overdrive as he gently took the boning knife from Briar’s hand, trying to

soothe her.

He said with a coaxing smile, “Honey, this man deserves to die, but will torturing him to death in one go really quench your anger?”

Briar glanced at the bloodied and unrecognizable Brody and raised an eyebrow. “Alright, that’s enough for today.”

This was music to Brody’s ears. He stopped screaming and stared hopefully at Memphis, who was watching the show from the sidelines, thinking he would be let down.

But then, he heard Ashton instruct Brandon, who had followed him in, “Brandon, take him away and take good care of him. Interrogation is rough work; we can’t let Mrs. Wade dirty her hands.”

Brandon replied respectfully, “Understood. Rest assured, Mrs. Wade. Our interrogation methods may be simple, but they are definitely more effective and brutal.”

Brody nearly passed out from horror.

Monsters!

These people were all monsters!

Ian, ever resourceful, found a few towels and handed them to Ashton.

Ashton carefully and gently wiped the blood from Briar’s hands. “Honey, should we go home first?”

Briar lowered her head, watching as Ashton patiently and meticulously cleaned her hands until they were spotless again.

After a long moment, she finally responded, “…Okay, let’s go home.”

She no longer felt the same attachment to home she once had. The house remained, but her family… was not the family she thought they were.

Briar followed Ashton out, her expression… serene. When they reached the main laboratory, she came to a halt.

She turned her head, looked at the main laboratory, and refused to go any further.
