Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 62

This was really thoughtful.

Briar, who wasn’t very hungry at first, suddenly felt her stomach rumble at the sight of all the delicious breakfast

dishes. She immediately buried her head and began to eat heartily.

At that moment, Brandon, who had been waiting nearby, received a phone call. After just a few words from the

caller, his expression turned gloomy.

Ashton took a sip of his coffee and glanced at Brandon. “What's wrong?”

Brandon met Ashton’s gaze, first casting a discreet look at Briar, who was still eating with her head down, before

briefly saying into the phone, “I'll check with Ashton. Don’t make a move yet.”

Then, he walked over to Ashton, bent down, and tapped something on his phone before handing it to Ashton.

“Ashton, our people just saw

Ashton took the phone, and his brows quickly furrowed, but his face remained unchanged, and even his tone

stayed as calm as ever. “Investigate thoroughly and deal with it severely.”

However, the sternness in Ashton’s words and the shift in his aura were enough to make Briar look up in

surprise. “Who's trying to get on his bad side now?’ she wondered.

But Briar didn’t say anything. Maybe it was something going on within Ashton’s company.

Brandon quickly replied, “Yes, Ashton. I'll have Xavion take care of it right away.”

Briar knew Xavion; he was also one of Ashton’s trusted confidants, a top-notch hacker specializing in

cybersecurity for the Wade Group. Many

of Ashton’s behind-the-scenes business dealings were handled by Xavion.

Briar didn’t pay much attention to this little incident and, after finishing her breakfast, slung her school bag over

her shoulder and got ready

to head to school.

Ashton got up at the stime. “I'm heading to Shoneport University to take care of sbusiness anyway.

Let’s go together.”

His tone was so natural that Briar couldn't find any reason to refuse. “Okay.”

‘That's why Ashton stayed at Moonspring Estate last night,’ she thought to herself.

It was only a few minutes’ walk from Moonspring Estate to Shoneport University, so the two decided to go on

foot.

The handsand beautiful duo attracted attention wherever they went, especially since Ashton was quite

famous.

Therefore, when Briar and Ashton arrived at the entrance of Shoneport University, many people threw excited

glances at Ashton. Seven tried to sneakily take photos with their phones, but Brandon's stern look stopped

them in their tracks.

Even journalists dared not take candid photos of Ashton; these college students were really bold.

Briar keenly noticed that the looks people were giving her were a mix of shock and disdain.

Briar narrowed her eyes. She could understand their excitement; after all, Ashton’s presence always drew a

crowd,

‘But why the disdain when they look at me? What are they looking down onfor? Do they think I'm not worthy

of standing next to Ashton? Con, I'm just his doctor. Are these people overthinking this?’ she wondered.

But whether intentional or not, Beatrice's lowered voice was just laviduagh day the dudents gathe

Instantly, the looks people gave Briar shifted from disdain to contempt.

If Briar didn’t realize someone was scheming against her at this point, she'd be rastly dense

Just as she was about to lose her temper, someone gently put an arm around her shoulder Before Briar could

Ashton spoke while leaning down and murmuring softly into Briar’s ear, “Leave it toto handle de god

The low, gentle sound of his voice brushed against her earlobe, sending a tingling sensation that seemed to

making her feel a mix of numbness and sweetness.

Briar looked up at Ashton, trying to read something from his expression, but his face was as indifferent as ever,

giving morting umay

Briar still felt that something must have happened, and it might have something to do with her.

Recalling the conversation between Brandon and Ashton at the breakfast table, Briar took in the reactions of

everyone at

she said.

Ashton loosely draped his arm around Briar and led her through the school gate. Even after the two disappeared

from sight, th entrance was still in shock.

‘How could Ashton be with Briar? And they're so close?’ everyone thought.

In Shoneport, it was common knowledge that Ashton was the most unapproachable when it cto women, in

his twenty-s only had there never been a single wealthy heiress by his side, but even his personal secretary and

top executives at the Wade Group were ad

men.

Shad even reasonably speculated that Ashton might prefer men, though no one dared to confirm it with him

directly

But today, right here and now, Ashton had walked into the school gate with his arm around Briar, in front of

everyone at the entrance, Although everyone saw that Ashton hadn't really placed his entire hand on Briar’s

shoulder, it was enough to drop jaws.

This was even more shocking than the explosive news they had seen on the forum this morning.

Quickly, the more astute ones had already sent messages to their families.

Who the woman by Ashton’s side was and what her background was didn’t matter. What mattered was that they

could liked women.

All the eligible young ladies from the wealthy families in Shoneport suddenly had a chance.
