Inside, Andrew’s somber expression betrayed his distress, hinting at the turmoil the situation had caused him.


    Despite my scheme to oust Debra, I couldn’t suppress a twinge of sympathy for Andrew.


    “Andrew, with such chaos in the manor, perhaps my mother’s assistance could be of use.


    I’m sure she could offer some relief.


    ”


    My offer was genuine-a true gesture of solidarity.


    I hoped Andrew would sense my sincerity, turning his affections away from Debra and towards me.


    On cue, Addy chimed in, “Our leader sent me specifically to assist during this crisis.


    If there’s anything you need, just let us know.


    ”


    Andrew’s response was cool yet polite.


    “Thank you, but I can manage for now.


    ”


    After surveying the room, Addy asked in confusion, “Where’s Debra? With such significant issues at hand, shouldn’t she be here?”


    Andrew’s face momentarily betrayed his difort before heposed himself.


    “Debra was quite exhausted this morning.


    Noticing her fatigue, I suggested she rest in her room.


    ”

    My brow furrowed and my gaze chilled.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    That woman hadn’t slept wellst night?


    My grip on the handkerchief shook as anger seethed through me.


    What did it mean? Had Andrew been intimate with herst night?


    “Andrew, she’s just be your fiancee, and already there’s a scandal.


    How can you still defend her? Last might, you even… Eww…”


    In my fury, I neglected to shield my mouth and nose from the foul odor, which immediately triggered my gag reflex.


    I had intended to present myself as dignified and graceful in front of Andrew, but the notion of Debra untroubled and protected shattered myposure.


    “Debra is my fiancee.


    She’s not involved in this,” Andrew responded with unsettling calm.


    How could he still stand by her side?


    My temper red, and I couldn’t contain my outcry.


    “But… she doesn’t deserve—”


    “Shirley.


    ” Addy’s stern look and sharp tug on my arm halted me.


    “But…” Tears welled up in my eyes as frustration overwhelmed me.


    The mere thought of them having s@x sent a sharp pang through my heart, my whole body trembling with jealousy and rage.


    I inhaled deeply, attempting to calm down, but the stench was overpowering.


    “Ew… Eww…”


    This time, I couldn’t hold back; I vomited, sttering the floor.
