Alexia pulled Alex along as they packed the necessary equipment at top speed. They couldn’t even wait until evening and eagerly urged Ashton to arrange a private jet to send them off.

Seeing their excitement, Briar was speechless. As expected, the allure of money is always immense.

Ashton was quite cooperative and sent the two of them off. Watching the plane fly farther away, Briar sighed. “Ashton, do you think Alexia and Alex will reach their destination safely?”

Briar disregarded the fact that Alexia and Alex were in such a hurry to leave Shoneport. They acted so

incidents. urgently because they discovered they were being secretly monitored and wanted to prevent any

Ashton wrapped an arm around Briar’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. Their trip will go smoothly, and they’ll definitely meet up with Connor and his group.”

Ashton’s expression was so confident and resolute that Briar couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. “Alright, it’s time for us to make our move. Our opponents are already monitoring our doorstep. If we do nothing, we’ll look completely useless.”

“Griffin just called me, asking when I could bring you to the family estate. He wants to see you,” Ashton said suddenly as he led Briar back.

Briar raised an eyebrow. “Griffin wants to see me?”

Ashton nodded. “My guess is, it’s not just Griffin who wants to see you. There are probably others, like Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Swift.”

Ashton had guessed Griffin’s intentions for the invitation, which was why he disagreed immediately and only said he would pass on the message. As for whether Briar would agree to go back, that was entirely up to her.

Briar’s face stiffened. Before she could speak, Ashton said, “Don’t worry about saving face for me. If you don’t want to go, then don’t.”

Briar’s sour expression immediately broke into a smile. “Let’s go, Honey. Come home with me.”

Ashton’s suspicion was likely correct. Mr. Goodwin and Joshua had probably asked Ashton’s grandfather to track him down. They hoped that out of respect for Griffin and Ashton, Briar would return to the Wade family home to meet them.

It seemed that ignoring calls from Marvin and Joshua was starting to make some people anxious. So, they sent Marvin and Joshua to sound her out and assess the evidence she had against them. ‘In that case, I’m eager to see what they were capable of.

Ashton stopped and gazed into Briar’s eyes for a few seconds. Seeing her firm resolve, he nodded. “Alright, let’s go back. Say if any of those men upset you. I won’t hold back.”

Briar laughed. “If your grandfather heard you weren’t taking his side, he’d chase you with his cane.”

Ashton chuckled. “Don’t worry. He can’t catch me, and he can’t hit me.”

Briar also chuckled. She agreed to return to the Wade Mansion, and Ashton took her there the next morning.

It was a weekday, so aside from the servants and bodyguards, almost no other members of the Wade family were present. Even Ashton’s parents were not there.

As soon as their car stopped, bodyguards and a butler came to welcome them. “Welcome back, Sir. Hello, Madam.” The butler greeted Ashton and Briar with a cheerful smile.

Ashton said nothing, appearing to have a low opinion of the butler. Seeing this, Briar nodded at the butler in

response.

“Sir, Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Swift arrived early. Your grandfather is playing chess with them in the courtyard,” the butler reported to Ashton and Briar while leading the way.

Ashton finally gave the butler a proper look and asked flatly, “They arrived early? How long have they been here?”

The butler looked around and said in a low voice, “They arrived before 8 a.m.”

‘It’s 10 a.m. now. Looks like Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Swift are getting impatient.’

Ashton nodded without another word and exchanged a look with Briar.

When they reached the courtyard gate, the butler smiled and called out to the three gentlemen sitting on the stone bench, “Sir, they have arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Griffin turned, a loving smile already on his face. “Briar, you’re here! Quick, come sit by me.” As he spoke, Griffin patted the empty stone bench beside him, motioning for Briar to sit next to him.

Briar politely greeted each of them in turn before sitting down beside Griffin as requested. Meanwhile, Ashton followed Briar closely. After she sat down next to Griffin, he stood rigidly behind her like a statue. He completely ignored Marvin and Joshua.

Marvin and Joshua were speechless. They didn’t know what to say. Realizing he could not get through to Ashton and Briar, Mr. Goodwin turned to Griffin, who was standing behind Briar. “Griffin…”

Griffin snorted and said in a deliberately loud voice, “Let me introduce you two to this wonderful Lady. This is our granddaughter–in–law. Briar is the miracle doctor known all over Shoneport.”
