Brandon and lan had their heads together whispering for a long while, completely unaware that Ashton had

already taken Briar upstairs.

“Why are you in such a hurry to go upstairs?” Briar asked curiously.

Ashton was walking so fast that Briar could barely keep up with him.

Ashton said mysteriously, “Honey, | have something amazing to show you.”

Briar was confused. She followed him into the bedroom, and after he closed the door and pinned her against it,

she laughed in exasperation.

She asked, “So, the amazing thing you wanted to showis just yourself?”

Ashton’s eyes twinkled. “I know that old creep really disgusted you tonight. Con, honey, take it all out on

me. I'll give you something much better to look at.”

“Shameless.” Briar gave him a playful scolding. “Hurry up and showthe real good thing.”

Ashton finally dropped the teasing look on his face. He pulled his phone from his pocket, played a video for Briar,

and said, “Here, see who Connor and his men found abroad...”

Briar’s gaze fell on the phone screen, and her expression instantly sharpened. “Where did Connor and his team

find him?”

The person captured in the video was none other than Tristan, who had snuck off the nameless island. He was

the miracle doctor and Briar’s mentor.

Ashton slid his hand to Briar’'s waist, soothing her tense body.

He said, “On their way to investigate the underground lab, they passed through a small, quiet town. They were

just planning to stay the night when they accidentally spotted him.”

Briar nodded and asked, “Did Connor and the others get him?”

Ashton put his phone away, picked up the girl who was shivering with cold, and carried her toward the bathroom.

He said, “No, we're waiting for your order. If you say the word, we'll get him. If not, we'll pretend we never saw

him.”

Briar was so preoccupied with whether to capture Tristan that she didn’t even notice Ashton had stripped her

naked and placed her in the bathtub.

She didn’t snap out of it until the warm water surrounded her body. “Ashton! You undressedwhile | was

spacing out again!”

Ashton spread his arms and spun around under Briar’s shocked and indignant gaze. “I'm naked too, honey.

You're not at a disadvantage.”

Briar turned away indignantly. “Have sshame!”

When it cto romance, Briar always seemed to get the short end of the stick.

Ashton squeezed out sshower gel, worked it into a rich lather, and then reached for Briar.

He said, “Darling, we've seen each other naked so many times. Why are you still so shy? Con, open your

hands. Letwash you up.”

Briar tried to get away, but Ashton blocked her every move. In the end, with scoaxing from him, she

relented, and they finished their bath together.

When Ashton carried her out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, Briar was flushed pink from head to toe. She

was annoyed because Ashton had used bathing her as an excuse to get his hands all over her.

She was also embarrassed because the shameless man insisted that since he had washed her, she had to return

the favor.

She had blushed more during that bath than in her entire life combined.

Briar never even realized that Ashton was such a shameless exhibitionist.

If it weren't for her strong self-control, she feared she would have given in to him right there in the bathroom.

“We have important things to do. You can’t touchagain tonight.” The moment she was on the bed, Briar

broke free from Ashton’s embrace and dove under the covers.

Ashton played dumb. “Haven't we already taken care of our business for tonight?”

“Ashton, you'll die from exhaustion if you keep this up every day.” Briar clutched a corner of the blanket, refusing

to let him get under.

“Don’t worry. My wife is a miracle doctor. She'll take good care of us,” Ashton continued, acting shamelessly.

Flushed and furious, Briar couldn't take it anymore and roared, “Your wife is about to be worn out by you! How is

she supposed to take care of you then?”

Ashton was at a loss for words.

He was afraid that if he pushed it any further, she would get genuinely angry. It wouldn't be worth the trouble if

she decided to use her acupuncture needles on him.

Knowing when to quit, he tactfully changed the subject. “So... let's discuss how we should face the Wade

family’s furious retaliation againsttomorrow morning.”

Briar glared at him. “You're a Wade too. No matter how crazy they get, could they possibly be crazier than you?”

Chapter 311

She thought, ‘You've already hollowed out almost all of the Wade family’s assets!

Ashton did it subtly over the years, and no one, except for a few people close to him, knew about it.

He said, “Honey, you're breaking my heart.”

Ashton clutched his heart in mock agony. “The Wade family is about to kickout. I'm being bullied to death,

and you don’t even feel sorry for me.”

Briar replied, “Why should | feel sorry for you? That you found out long ago that you're not a real member of the

Wade family?”

She continued, “Or should | feel sorry that you anticipated this day and hollowed out the Wade Group in

advance? Or perhaps feel sorry that you can now sit back and wait for the Wade family to cry and beg you not.

to leave?”

Ashton went silent.

He had been careless. He forgot his wife was a master hacker. None of his schemes could escape her sharp

eyes.

“Stop playing the victim.” Briar reached out and patted Ashton on the shoulder. “I should be worried about you

facing the Wade family’s denunciation tomorrow. What if you can’t help but laugh out loud?”

Ashton lay down and pulled Briar into his arms, blanket and all. “It seems getting you to feel sorry foris quite

difficult.”

“It is difficult,” Briar said, resting her head on Ashton’s shoulder. “So, stop trying to change the subject just to

cheerup. Let's be serious.”

Ashton looked down, kissing the top of Briar’s hair. “Alright,” he said with a sigh of resignation. “Let's be serious.”

He continued, “The immediate threat from Len is gone. Now, we need to start hunting down the moles he has

hidden away.”

Those moles were the real driving force behind the lab’s production and research into those twisted desires.

Only by rooting them all out could they completely shut the lab down and end its experiments.

Briar nodded. “Yes, tonight's explosion is enough to smoke out all these moles.”

Only the guilty panic. Others might just treat Len’s stroke and the explosion at Summit One as gossip to watch,

but those with something to hide would be extremely nervous.

All they had to do was see who shouted the loudest and acted the most indignant tomorrow, and they'd have a

nice big handful to pull on.

Ashton gave a confident laugh. “It looks like I'll have to act wronged and helpless tomorrow to lure more of

them out.”
