Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 318

Briar’s words undoubtedly put Ronan in an awkward position, he even felt a faint sense of intimidation.

The intimidation came from Briar.

Yet, Briar Jennings smiled as she spoke, appearing both harmless and innocent.

But to Ronan, that smile sent a chill down his spine.

Could it be because Ashton was standing beside Briar?

However, now that Ashton no longer had the protection of the Wade family, could he still wield the same power as before?

In that case, the impact of Briar’s words would surely be much less significant.

At that thought, Ronan stifled the flicker of fear that had just surfaced.

He glared at Briar, his face stern. “Briar, I’m only calling you Mrs. Wade out of respect for Ashton. You’re well aware of your current situation without me having to remind you, aren’t you?”

Ronan meant to tell Briar to push her luck.

Hearing this, Briar raised her shapely eyebrows. She was not angry, just amused.

She wondered how on earth a guy who couldn’t read the room ended up getting involved with those masterminds.

Briar turned her head, pointed at Ronan, and asked Ashton, whose expression was growing cold, “Honey, is he insulting us?”

“He is.” Ashton stepped forward, shielding Briar with his tall, muscular frame as a sharp chill swept toward Ronan, who glared with wide eyes.

Ronan was intimidated by Ashton’s presence and took a few steps back. “What do you think you’re doing? This is a police station…”

Several officers were watching from behind him. He couldn’t back down, or else he would lose their respect.

“Not much. Just teaching you how to be a good person, Chief Ramos.” Under Ronan’s astonished gaze, Ashton reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

The pat seemed incredibly light, but Ronan felt as if a thousand–pound hammer was crushing his shoulder.
