Brandon andn had their heads together whispering for a long while,pletely unaware that Ashton had already taken Briar upstairs.
“Why are you in such a hurry to go upstairs?” Briar asked curiously.
Ashton was walking so fast that Briar could barely keep up with him.
Ashton said mysteriously, “Honey, I have something amazing to show you.”
Briar was confused. She followed him into the bedroom, and after he closed the door and pinned her against it, sheughed in exasperation.
She asked, “So, the amazing thing you wanted to show me is just yourself?”
Ashton’s eyes twinkled. “I know that old creep really disgusted you tonight. Come on, honey, take <b>it </b>all out on me. I’ll give you something much better to look at.”
“Shameless.” Briar gave him a yful scolding. “Hurry up and show me the real good thing.”
Ashton finally dropped the teasing look on his face. He pulled his phone from his pocket, yed a video for Briar, and said, “Here, see who Connor and his men found abroad…”
Briar’s gaze fell on the phone screen, and her expression instantly sharpened. “Where did Connor and his team find him?”
The person captured in the video was none other than Tristan, who had snuck off the nameless ind. He was the miracle doctor and Briar’s mentor.
Ashton slid his hand to Briar’s waist, soothing her tense body.
He said, “On their way to investigate the undergroundb, they passed through a small, quiet town. They were just nning to stay the night when they identally spotted him.”
Briar nodded and asked, “Did Connor and the others get him?”
Ashton put his phone away, picked up the girl who was shivering with cold, and carried her toward the bathroom.
He said, “No, we’re waiting for your order. If you say the word, we’ll get him. If not, we’ll pretend we never saw him.”
Briar was so preupied with whether to capture Tristan that she didn’t even notice Ashton had stripped her naked and ced her in the bathtub.
She didn’t snap out of it until the warm water surrounded her body. “Ashton! You undressed me while I was spacing out again!”
Ashton spread his arms and spun around under Briar’s shocked and indignant gaze. “I’m naked too, honey.
;
You’re not at a disadvantage.”
Briar turned away indignantly. “Have some shame!”
When it came to romance, Briar always seemed to get the short end of the stick.
Ashton squeezed out some shower gel, worked it into a richther, and then reached for Briar.

He said, “Darling, we’ve seen each other naked so many times. Why are you still so shy? Come on, open your hands. Let me wash you up.”
Briar tried to get away, but Ashton blocked her every move. In the end, with some coaxing from him, she relented, and they finished their bath together.
When Ashton carried her out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, Briar was flushed pink from head to toe. She was annoyed because Ashton had used bathing her as an excuse to get his hands all over her.
She was also embarrassed because the shameless man insisted that since he had washed her, she had to return the favor.
She had blushed more during that bath than in her entire lifebined.
Briar never even realized that Ashton was such a shameless exhibitionist.
If it weren’t for her strong self–control, she feared she would have given in to him right there in the bathroom.
“We have important things to do. You can’t touch me again tonight.” The moment she was on the bed, Briar broke free from Ashton’s embrace and dove under the covers.
Ashton yed dumb. “Haven’t we already taken care of our business for tonight?”
“Ashton, you’ll die from exhaustion if you keep this up every day.” Briar clutched a corner of the nket, refusing to let him get under.
“Don’t worry. My wife is a miracle doctor. She’ll take good care of us,” Ashton continued, acting shamelessly.
Flushed and furious, Briar couldn’t take it anymore and roared, “Your wife is about to be worn out by you! How is she supposed to take care of you then?”
Ashton was at a loss for words.
He was afraid that if he pushed it any further, she would get genuinely angry. It wouldn’t be worth the trouble if she decided to use her acupuncture needles on him.
Knowing when to quit, he tactfully changed the subject. “So… let’s discuss how we should face the Wade family’s furious retaliation against me tomorrow morning.”
Briar red at him. “You’re a Wade too. No matter how crazy they get, could they possibly be crazier than you?”
She thought, ‘You’ve already hollowed out almost all of the Wade family’s assets!

Ashton did it subtly over the years, and no one, except for a few people close to him, knew about it.
He said, “Honey, you’re breaking my heart.”
Ashton clutched his heart in mock agony. “The Wade family is about to kick me out. I’m being bullied to death, and you don’t even feel sorry for me.”
Briar replied, “Why should I feel sorry for you? That you found out long ago that you’re not a real member of the Wade family?”
She continued, “Or should I feel sorry that you anticipated this day and hollowed out the Wade Group in advance? Or perhaps feel sorry that you can now sit back and wait for the Wade family <i>to </i>cry and beg you not. to leave?”
Ashton went silent.
He had been careless. He forgot his wife was a master hacker. None of his schemes could escape her sharp

“Stop ying the victim.” Briar reached out and patted Ashton on the shoulder. “I should be worried about you facing the Wade family’s denunciation tomorrow. What if you can’t help butugh out loud?”
Ashtony down and pulled Briar into his arms, nket and all. “It seems getting you to feel sorry for me is quite difficult.”
“It is difficult,” Briar said, resting her head on Ashton’s shoulder. “So, stop trying to change the subject just to cheer me up. Let’s be serious.” <fncb7b> Follow current nov?ls on findnovel</fncb7b>
Ashton looked down, kissing the top of Briar’s hair. “Alright,” he said with a sigh of resignation. “Let’s be serious.<b>” </b>
He continued, “The immediate threat from Len is gone. Now, we need to start hunting down the moles he has hidden away.”
Those moles were the real driving force behind theb’s production and research into those twisted desires.
Only by rooting them all out could theypletely shut theb down and end its experiments.
Briar nodded. “Yes, tonight’s explosion is enough to smoke out all these moles.”
Only the guilty panic. Others might just treat Len’s stroke and the explosion at Summit One as gossip to watch, but those with something to hide would be extremely nervous.
All they had to do was see who shouted the loudest and acted the most indignant tomorrow, and they’d have a nice big handful to pull on.
Ashton gave a confidentugh. “It looks like I’ll have to <b>act </b>wronged and helpless tomorrow to lure more of
them out.”
