Betrayed Then Back For Blood (Briar Jennings) novel Chapter 2

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.

“Tomorrow, go call off your engagement with the Hargreaves boy. After that, you can go back abroad. I won’t bother you again, I promise”

Briar let out a cold laugh. “Do you even hear yourself and toss me aside when you’re done.”
