Brandon released his grip on Ian’s collar. Afraid that Ashton and Briar might overhear them, he pulled lan farther away.
“Don’t worry; Mr. Wade is so accommodating towards his wife that he wouldn’t retaliate or respond, even if she were aggressive with him.” Hearing Brandon’s strange explanation, Ian couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
By the time they finished whispering, they turned around to find that Briar and Ashton had left the yard. As they looked up, the light in the second–floor bedroom turned on.
‘Are they already going to bed? Didn’t they just say they were going after the Lopezs? What happened to their plan to take down the Lopezs?‘ Ian wondered.
As Ian started to head inside, Brandon pulled him back. “Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
“Time for bed! Briar had already fallen asleep, so why am I still lingering here?” Ian remarked with a shrug, shaking off Brandon’s grip as he walked away. He even raised his noble feet while passing by a group of assassins tied up in the yard.
Brandon closed his eyes, at a loss for words. Just as Ian was about to walk through the main gate, Brandon lunged forward and pulled him back. “What does it matter to us that they are resting? You can help me deal with these guys before we sleep.”
Ian hesitated as Brandon passed his gun to him. “Didn’t you say you were eager for some action? Here, take the gun. Do as you wish.”
Ian instantly grabbed Brandon’s gun and found it impossible to let go. It was a custom–made, limited–edition model that he had admired before and had longed for ever since. But Brandon cherished it and would not allow him to touch it, yet now he was being generous.
In the bedroom, Briar lounged against the headboard, tapping her finger against her forehead as she watched Ashton slowly undress, her eyes sparkling. Ashton felt the heat of her gaze on his back. “Honey, if you keep looking at me like that, something’s going to happen.”
Briar’s mind was inundated with visions of Ashton’s strong, flawless physique: broad shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. When she heard Ashton, she replied impulsively, “What could happen?”
Ashton finished undressing and slipped into his showy, loose bathrobe. Turning around, he suddenly asked, “Do I look good?”
Briar struggled to keep from smiling. “You look good.”
Ashton strode closer, his voice laced with temptation. “Want to touch?”
Briar nodded instinctively. “I do.”
In the next moment, Ashton took Briar’s hand and placed it on his abs–the very ones she had been admiring. The intense heat and perfectly firm texture against her palm made her eyes narrow in pleasure.

“Honey, since you’re already touching it, why not…” Ashton continued to tempt her. Briar found herself utterly defenseless against any of Ashton’s charms. As his words registered, she slowly lowered her head to kiss his abdomen. Soon, soft amorous sounds filled the quiet bedroom, lingering for what felt like an eternity.
As dawn’s first light filtered through the curtains, Briar, exhausted from their wild night, finally drifted into a deep sleep. Ashton gazed down at Briar, who was sleeping peacefully, and tenderly kissed her sweat- dampened forehead while his fingers gently caressed her bare shoulder.
For a long time, Ashton watched Briar in silence, making no moves. It wasn’t until his phone screen illuminated that he snapped out of his trance and gently laid Briar back on the pillow. He quietly slipped out of bed, got dressed, and left the bedroom with his phone.
As soon as the door closed, Briar, who was thought to be sound asleep, slowly opened her eyes. She blinked rapidly to shake off the sleepiness, tossed aside the covers, got out of bed, and walked over to the window,
Ashton soon appeared in the yard, where Ian and Brandon were already waiting. The five assassins who had been captured and left in the yard the night before had disappeared without a trace.
Brandon respectfully called out, glancing past Ashton. “Mr. Wade.” It was clear that Brandon was searching for
Briar.
Ashton waved his hand. “Briar isn’t awake yet. We’ll leave first.”
Brandon was inwardly surprised but did not let it show. “Alright.” Then, he and Ashton drove away.
Ian leaned casually against the courtyard gate, one hand in his pocket, while the other twirled a leaf he had picked up. A bright smile lit up his face. Once Ashton’s car was out of sight, he tossed the leaf aside, walked over to the bedroom window, and called out, “Briar, are we going?”
An arm quickly reached out from the window and waved. Then, Briar’s hoarse voice replied, “We are. Give me twenty minutes.”
Ian chuckled, “Alright, I’ll head home first to see my precious sister.”
A voice drifted out of the window again, “Go ahead.”
Ian quickly left the courtyard and made his way to the back of the villa. He had been closely following Briar lately and hadn’t spent much quality time with Ellen. As he walked, he wondered how he would comfort her if she started crying or complaining.
Briar stood in front of the bathroom mirror, gritting her teeth as she examined the hickeys adorning her neck. Ashton would stop at nothing to prevent her from leaving the house.
If she weren’t in such great shape, he would have worn her out to the point of exhaustion in bed. He truly believed he could stop her from acting independently simply by tiring her out. Harith, if he were to meet his end, it would be in her hands alone.
As Briar angrily dialed a phone number while trying to hide the marks on her neck, Georgiana’s teasing voice greeted her as soon as the call connected. “Well, well! It’s so early, and you’re already awake, Briar. Looks like your man’s stamina could use a little work!”
Briar was left speechless Georgiana cackled loudly “Silence means you agree! Oh my gosh! I’ve uncovered a

huge secret–Ashton really can’t perform. George, hurry! This is our chance to make some extra cash!*
Briar irritably cut off her nonsense. “Georgiana, be serious. There’s no way my man can’t perform!”
Georgiana tutted. “Well, who’s to say? It’s not like I’ve tried him myself.”
George’s voice turned jealous and menacing. “Honey, who are you thinking of trying out? Am I not enough for you?”
Now it was Georgiana’s turn to be speechless. “Exactly. George is the champion of our Hacker Alliance’s fitness tests.” Briar was delighted with George’s perfect assist and generously said, “George, I’ve recently developed a new physical enhancement potion. I’ll send you a few bottles.”
“Briar is the most generous,” George said with a smile, puffing out his chest confidently. “Don’t worry, we’ve found Harith. He won’t be getting away.”
