Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Forsaken 302

Chapter 302

EL 55 vouchers

The family of three was irritated by the arrogant Ashton and Briar right after they got back to their feet.

Being held by her parents, Emily had a pale face and shot Briar a venomous look.

Recalling Briar's muzzle against her head, she didn’t dare to lose her temper though she was furious deep down.

She expressed her displeasure with a glare towards Briar.

Briar gave a warning without looking at Emily. “I would keep my head down if | were you. It would help spare you

from a bullet in the head at least.”

Emily was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but look at Griffin, who was busy studying his coffee, the ground, and

the sky, and refused to give her and her family a glance.

“Grandpa, she is threatening us. Shouldn't you do something?” she shouted.

Griffin slowly turned his head, as if just waking up from his daydream. “Pardon? Emily, what did you say? Why

are you so filthy? Go get changed!” He impatiently waved Emily and her parents away before she answered.

Briar whispered to Ashton, “Your grandpa is good at playing dumb.”

Ashton nodded. “Quite so. It is his old trick to govern a large family...”

Hearing this, Briar was speechless. Griffin glared at Ashton and shouted, “You brat! Watch your tone. Don’t you

know why I play dumb?”

Ashton walked over with a smiling face and pacified Griffin by saying, “Of course. For our good.”

Pleased, Griffin beckoned Briar over and said, “Briar, chere and take a seat.” Briar did what was asked.

“Briar, | know that your investigation is dangerous. From today on, none of the Wade family will be in your way.

You have my word.” Griffin patted his chest to assure Briar.

Smiling, Briar nodded. “Thank you, Griffin.” Honestly, she was quite touched by Griffin's support.

Few rich and powerful families would risk their future like Griffin did. Briar and Ashton would have been disowned

by their family if Griffin weren't the family head.

Briar was going against the former leader of the whole country.

Because of this confrontation, assassination attempts on Briar might happen anytand anywhere. She herself

didn’t know when death would come.

Griffin was clear about the risk, but he still supported Ashton and Briar. Part of the reason for his support was

Briar’s forgiveness for sstupid members of the Wade family....

He wished Briar to show mercy to those fools when the tcame. Deep down, he had a soft spot for his

offspring anyway.

Chapter 302

To let those fools get punished but stay alive was his unspoken plea.

Briar got the hint, and that was the tacit understanding between her and Griffin. Griffin helped the ingrates

anyway.

“So, what's your plan now?” Griffin asked under his breath after his eyes swept around the yard.

Ashton shrugged. “I don’t know, Grandpa. | am at her mercy.

Griffin felt speechless. He felt that Ashton was showing off.

Briar said, “Griffin, we will be away in the coming days because we are targeted.”

“Take good care of yourselves. Speople like to play dirty,” As an old veteran, Griffin reminded Briar with a

straight face.

Briar smiled. “Relax, Griffin. Many people want to kill Ashton and me, but none of them succeed” She sounded

confident.

Ashton smiled and said nothing. “To play dirty? I can do that too. | wish they were strong enough to withstand

our revenge,’ he thought.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Briar and Ashton left Griffin.

Griffin invited the Wade couple to stay for dinner, but Ashton said no.

Ashton was fearless and not brainless. Griffin's house was on the hillside, so the Wade couple would drive past a

deserted road to their one.

The Wade couple would have to drive at night if they stayed for dinner. Night was the best helper to killers, and

it was unnecessary for the Wade couple to take the risk.

Briar shared the sthought with Ashton. If they had a gunfight against the killers on the road, Thiago. would

be alerted for sure.

In the car, Briar called lan and asked, “Did you get anything from the interrogation?”

On the other end of the line, lan seemed to be eating something because his voice was muttled. “Yeah, Briar

They've spilled everything.”

This answer didn’t surprise Briar or Ashton because they had foreseen it.

Briar changed the subject. “Did anything happen today?”

lan chuckled. “Wow, Briar, you are amazing. Brandon and | just drove off two groups of people, and you already

got the news. | was about to call you.”

Briar laughed. “Con! Are they worth the trouble? Didn't you and Brandon have a good time?”

lan responded, “We did.”

Right then, Ashton joined the conversation. “Any captive?”

lan’s tone turned serious because of Ashton. “Mr. Wade, those people are mercenaries, international and

professional. They don’t risk their lives for a job.” In other words, there was no captive.

“Mercenaries?” Briar raised her eyebrows.

lan grunted. “Yeah, all of them are blonde with blue eyes.”

“Any acquaintances?” Briar asked.

lan laughed over the phone. “Briar, con! Our acquaintances wouldn't take the job if they knew that their

targets were you and me.”

Briar snapped, “Why? Don’t they want money?”

lan clicked his tongue. “Briar, do you know your nicknamong your trainees?”

After one glance at Ashton, Briar asked, “What is it?”
