Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 2

Soon, Briar’s uncles would be too tied up to help her. Once Edgar got her back, she’d have no one left to turn to

and Edgar could do whatever he wanted

with her.

He had Rosalia wrapped around his finger back in the day. To him, Briar was just another easy target.

Edgar's face twisted in rage. He suddenly raised his hand to slap Briar. “You ungrateful brat! I'll teach you a

lesson!”

But Briar caught his wrist mid-air. Edgar cried out in pain.

Briar might've looked sweet on the outside, but she wasn’t weak. Edgar had no idea. He thought she'd been

struggling abroad all these years. He believed a kid raised without parents would break at the slightest fake

affection.

But Briar didn’t lack love or support. In fact, she could destroy Edgar with just one of her many hidden identities,

Over the years, she rarely cback, and her relationship with Edgar was barely more than a formality.

She waited until she turned eighteen to cback because that

s when she’d legally inherit her mother’s shares.

And there was more to it-she had proof tied to her mom's disappearance. She needed a reason to stay in the

country and dig deeper.

As luck would have it, Edgar's desperate power grab gave her the perfect excuse, so Briar returned.

Edgar howted as Briar twisted his wrist, but all the cursing in the world didn’t loosen her grip. No one dared step

in-Briar’s icy aura had everyone frozen in place.

Just then, Briar’'s phone rang. She frowned, kicked Edgar aside, then gave Halle and her kids another swift kick,

sending all four of them rolling into one pathetic pile.

She looked at her phone, hung up the call, and slid it back into her pocket.

Something in her words must've hit a nerve. Edgar suddenly stood up and lunged at her, hand raised and voice

shaking with rage. “I'll kill you, yo ungrateful brat!”

Briar calmly stepped back. Edgar missed and crashed straight to the floor, landing hard on his knees.

Halle and the kids rushed over to help him up, all of them glaring at Briar like they wanted her gone—but none of

them dared move again.

Good thing for Edgar, he'd already sent the servants and bodyguards away earlier because he didn't want any

witnesses to his little schif ther seen this mess, the embarrassment would've been even worse.

“You really thought you could steal what's mine,

huh?” Briar sneered.

Edgar slowly got to his feet,

shaking with rage, but this time, there was fear in his eyes. “I'm still your father,” he snapped. “You'll do what |

head of the Jennings family!”

Briar didn’t bother to look back. She walked to the door, then paused. “I've already scheduled a shareholders’

Outside, her phone rang again. She picked up. “Georgiana?

Georgiana laughed. “I know. But it’s just a quick job. There's a batch of experimental meds that needs delivering

within the hour. Super urgent. The pay is 3 million dollars. Interested?”

Briar raised an eyebrow. “3 million dollars? Who's throwing around that kind of cash?

“Ashton from Shoneport. His grandfather just had a medical emergency. He needs black market meds to stay

alive,” Georgiana explained. “You're already there, so it's a local run. Easy money.”

“Alright. When will the meds be ready?” Briar didn’t exactly need the money, but she wasn’t about to say no to it

either.

Georgiana hesitated and laughed awkwardly. “That's the thing. It’s too last-minute. Even if we shipped it out

now, it might not make it in time. But don’t you still carry sof those All Miracle Pills? Maybe you could-"

Briar laughed in disbelief. “So that’s what you're after, huh?”

Georgiana chuckled nervously. “Con, Briar, doa favor?”
