Betrayed, Then Back For Blood Novel - Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Briar shook her head . " It's okay . It sounds dangerous , but I'm not scared . Actually , I'm pretty brave . " Ashton chuckled . " As long as you're not scared . I'll take you to see some other businesses later . You can pick the ones you like . Then I'll gift them to your two uncles from the Grant family . " Briar was surprised . " Gift them to my uncles ? " Ashton nodded . " Yes , to them . I want to steal away their beloved niece , so I have to show some sincerity .

" Briar frowned . It sounded like Ashton already had their wedding all planned out , " That's not necessary , okay ? My uncles are all in legitimate businesses … " Briar struggled to get the words out after a long pause . Now it was Ashton's turn to choke . " Briar , aside from tonight's shady business , I also have plenty of legitimate ones . " Briar covered her mouth , stifling a laugh . " I know , but really , it's not needed .

No matter how many businesses you bribe them with , once they find out you're trying to take me away , they'll still be mad . " In her uncles ' eyes , no one could ever take her away . Ashton kept quiet . His expressions were too rich , which amused Briar even more . By the time their car pulled into Ashton's villa courtyard , Briar still hadn't stopped laughing . " Briar , stop laughing . We're home now .

" Ashton turned off the engine and looked at the girl , still giggling with crinkled eyes in her seat. Briar barely composed herself and forced back her laughter . " Okay . I'm done laughing . " But even though she said that , the curve of her lips just wouldn't go down . It was harder to control than the AK recoil in her favorite game . Ashton squinted , eyes complex as he stared at the smile she couldn't hide .

Then , under her startled and flustered gaze , he leaned over and kissed her lips . Success . Ashton had effectively stopped her from laughing . Briar's eyes widened . Instinctively , she tried to push him away , but he was faster. He grabbed both her hands and held them tightly . Whether Ashton was gripping too tightly or she was struggling the wrong way , her hands were trapped . She was unable to escape , unable to move . The entire car suddenly fell silent .
