Betrayed Then Back For Blood (Briar Jennings) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Since they had agreed to get late night snacks first, it wasn’t convenient for Briar and Alexia to openly carry their newly acquired upon items, so they entrusted the auction house staff to deliver them to their homes.

Of course, when it came to treasures worth millions of dollars, someone trustworthy had to escort them, so that someone ended up being

Brandon.

Waving his hand, Brandon said, “Ashton, Fl come pick you up later.”

Ashton nodded indifferently. “No rush.”

With Brandon sent off Alexia’s supercar just happened to have four seats, Briar and Ashton sat in the back, while Alex drove and Alexia satin the passenger seat, frequently turning around to look behind her.

Alexia asked, “Briar, where are we going for snacks? We don’t know our way around Shoneport. Can you recommend a place?”

What Alexia really wanted to ask about was Ashton, but Ashton’s overwhelming aura kept her from being too direct. She didn’t want this big shot to see through her intentions.

Briar actually wasn’t sure either, so she naturally looked toward Ashton. “Ashton, I’m not familiar with the area. Do you have any suggestions?”

“Let’s go to Moonbay Seafood Restaurant. It’s open 24 hours, and this is a good time for supper,” Ashton replied. With his long legs and tall frame, he could barely stretch out in the cramped backseat of the sports car and had to sit curled up.

“Alright! Moonbay Seafood Restaurant it is!” Seeing that Briar had no objections, Alexia grabbed Alex’s phone, pulled up navigation, and entered the address.

It was less than a 20–minute drive, not too far away.

Ashton had called ahead, so when they arrived, a line of restaurant staff was already waiting at the entrance. The night shift supervisor stepped forward with a smile, “Mr. Wade, Miss Jennings, good evening. Your private room is ready. Please follow me.”

Of course, he didn’t ignore the two people accompanying Briar either and nodded at them with a friendly smile.

They had a grand entrance. It was no wonder they called him the scion of Shoneport. Wherever he went, it was a full production.

Alexia and Alex, both seasoned in shady dealings, weren’t used to such high–profile luxury. But since they were never relaxed around Ashton anyway, it didn’t really show,

In truth, Ashton’s attention that evening was almost entirely on Briar,

Briar normally wore casual, loose clothes, including during their first meeting. But tonight, her outfit was stunning Ashton’s gaze lingered almost imperceptibly on her gorgeous figure.

Once they sat down in the private room, they didn’t need to bother with ordering. The manager had already arranged everything with the kitchen. Within three minutes, dishes started arriving in a steady stream. Despite the late hour, everything was freshly flown in that day.

Naturally, such exquisite food came with a hefty price tag.

But Briar had saved 300 thousand dollars earlier in the auction thanks to Ashton’s name. She didn’t mind a supper costing thousands of

Just as the fork reached him, Ashton paused. Briar realized what she was doing. She tried to pull her hard back, but it was too late. Ashton opened his mouth and ate the fish.
