Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 283

“Harith isn’t scary, nor is he hard to kill, but the person behind him is quite powerful” Alexia’s simple statement made Ian immediately grasp the gravity of their situation.

“So, that’s why Mr. Wade didn’t take you with him to make the arrest?” Ian looked at Briar, his eyes filled with awe and shock. “Briar, Mr. Wade is really in love with you!”

Briar was speechless. A single comment from lan shattered the tense atmosphere.

Alexia also looked at Briar and teasingly nudged her with a fist. “Well, well! We were just wondering why we didn’t see Mr. Wade at the door today. It turns out he had already left.”

Briar glared at Ian and dodged Alexia’s playful punch. “Are we going or not?”

“Let’s go, let’s go! The car is moving!” Knowing when to stop, Alexia didn’t tease Briar any further. A little lightheartedness was fine, but too much would backfire.

The journey was smooth and uneventful. Their car entered the city, swiftly traversed through it, and reached a winding road leading to a picturesque mountain villa. At a bend in the road, a black BMW was parked boldly, with a person leaning casually against its door.

Squinting, he realized it was Brandon. Ian ran a hand through his hair, stopped the car, and turned to Briar. “Briar, Brandon is waiting over there. I think Mr. Wade sent him to stop us. What should we do?”

Briar’s face was expressionless, her eyes cold and brimming with killing intent. “Drive.”

“Alright.” Ian silently pitied Brandon. ‘Briar was about to lose it!‘ he thought.

As their car neared the black BMW, Brandon, who had been leaning against the door, stepped into the middle of the road. He stood straight and looked at them apologetically.
