The family of three was irritated by the arrogant Ashton and Briar right after they got back to their feet.
Being held by her parents, Emily had a pale face and shot Briar a venomous look.
Recalling Briar’s muzzle against her head, she didn’t dare to lose her temper though she was furious deep down. She expressed her displeasure with a glare towards Briar.
Briar gave a warning without looking at Emily. “I would keep my head down if I were you. It would help spare you from a bullet in the head at least.”
Emily was dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but look at Griffin, who was busy studying his coffee, the ground, and the sky, and refused to give her and her family a glance.
“Grandpa, she is threatening us. Shouldn’t you do something?” she shouted.
Griffin slowly turned his head, as if just waking up from his daydream. “Pardon? Emily, what did you say? Why are you so filthy? Go get changed!” He impatiently waved Emily and her parents away before she answered.
Briar whispered to Ashton, “Your grandpa is good at playing dumb.”
Ashton nodded. “Quite so. It is his old trick to govern a large family…”
Hearing this, Briar was speechless. Griffin glared at Ashton and shouted, “You brat! Watch your tone. Don’t you know why I play dumb?”
Ashton walked over with a smiling face and pacified Griffin by saying, “Of course. For our good.”
Pleased, Griffin beckoned Briar over and said, “Briar, come here and take a seat.” Briar did what was asked.
“Briar, I know that your investigation is dangerous. From today on, none of the Wade family will be in your way. You have my word.” Griffin patted his chest to assure Briar.
Smiling, Briar nodded. “Thank you, Griffin.” Honestly, she was quite touched by Griffin’s support.
Few rich and powerful families would risk their future like Griffin did. Briar and Ashton would have been disowned by their family if Griffin weren’t the family head.
Briar was going against the former leader of the whole country.
Because of this confrontation, assassination attempts on Briar might happen anytime and anywhere. She herself didn’t know when death would come.
Griffin was clear about the risk, but he still supported Ashton and Briar. Part of the reason for his support was Briar’s forgiveness for some stupid members of the Wade family….
He wished Briar to show mercy to those fools when the time came. Deep down, he had a soft spot for his offspring anyway.
Chapter 302
To let those fools get punished but stay alive was his unspoken plea.
Briar got the hint, and that was the tacit understanding between her and Griffin. Griffin helped the ingrates
anyway.
“So, what’s your plan now?” Griffin asked under his breath after his eyes swept around the yard.
Ashton shrugged. “I don’t know, Grandpa. I am at her mercy.
Griffin felt speechless. He felt that Ashton was showing off.
Briar said, “Griffin, we will be away in the coming days because we are targeted.”
“Take good care of yourselves. Some people like to play dirty,” As an old veteran, Griffin reminded Briar with a straight face.
Briar smiled. “Relax, Griffin. Many people want to kill Ashton and me, but none of them succeed” She sounded confident.
Ashton smiled and said nothing. “To play dirty? I can do that too. I wish they were strong enough to withstand our revenge,‘ he thought.
It was already past four in the afternoon when Briar and Ashton left Griffin.
Griffin invited the Wade couple to stay for dinner, but Ashton said no.
Ashton was fearless and not brainless. Griffin’s house was on the hillside, so the Wade couple would drive past a deserted road to their one.
The Wade couple would have to drive at night if they stayed for dinner. Night was the best helper to killers, and it was unnecessary for the Wade couple to take the risk.
Briar shared the same thought with Ashton. If they had a gunfight against the killers on the road, Thiago. would be alerted for sure.
In the car, Briar called Ian and asked, “Did you get anything from the interrogation?”
On the other end of the line, lan seemed to be eating something because his voice was muttled. “Yeah, Briar They’ve spilled everything.”
This answer didn’t surprise Briar or Ashton because they had foreseen it.
Briar changed the subject. “Did anything happen today?”
Ian chuckled. “Wow, Briar, you are amazing. Brandon and I just drove off two groups of people, and you already got the news. I was about to call you.”
Briar laughed. “Come on! Are they worth the trouble? Didn’t you and Brandon have a good time?”
Ian responded, “We did.”

Right then, Ashton joined the conversation. “Any captive?”
Ian’s tone turned serious because of Ashton. “Mr. Wade, those people are mercenaries, international and professional. They don’t risk their lives for a job.” In other words, there was no captive.
“Mercenaries?” Briar raised her eyebrows.
lan grunted. “Yeah, all of them are blonde with blue eyes.”
“Any acquaintances?” Briar asked.
Ian laughed over the phone. “Briar, come on! Our acquaintances wouldn’t take the job if they knew that their targets were you and me.”
Briar snapped, “Why? Don’t they want money?”
Ian clicked his tongue. “Briar, do you know your nickname among your trainees?”
After one glance at Ashton, Briar asked, “What is it?”
