Chapter 229


    Andrew’s face darkened in an instant, and he spoke with a chilling tone. “What did you say?”


    It was then that Tiffanie realized she wasn’t speaking to Max, but to Andrew. She swiftly thought to


    hang up, but considering Brielle’s situation, she knew she couldn’t afford any dys.


    “Aren’t you? If you weren’t backing Tessa, would she be so bold? I’m telling you, if anything happens to


    Brielle, Maxie won’t let you off the hook.”


    Andrew felt like his chest was about to explode, his teeth clenched tightly, “Tiffanie, who do you think


    you’re talking to?”


    “I’m not afraid of you like everyone else. Pass the phone to Maxie. I need to discuss Brielle’s matter


    with him.”


    But Andrew hung up abruptly, leaving her with a headache from the frustration. Tiffanie tried to call


    again only to find she had been blocked. A sharp glint passed through her eyes. This Andrew, he had


    crossed the line.


    She then called Patrick, sinctly conveying the possibility that Brielle was having troubles. with the


    Ronds. Patrick didn’t dare dy and immediately contacted Max. By this time, Max had already


    come back from the balcony, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. And right on cue, Patrick’s call came


    through.


    “Mr. Dorsey. Tiffanie reports that Ms. Brielle upset Tessa and Tessa passed out, and now Ms. Brielle’s


    phone is unreachable. I’ve already had someone trace Ms. Brielle’s cell, but the signal is being


    jammed.”


    Max’s brow furrowed deeply, and he instantly turned toward Andrew.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Andrew was casually leaning back, legs crossed. Noticing Max’s gaze, he looked up with a smirk.


    “Andrew, is Brielle with the Ronds?”


    Andrew raised an eyebrow, leaning back further, “Yes, she must have gone through a round of


    punishment by now.”


    The moment his words fell, Max grasped the cor of his shirt. Their distance closed abruptly. and it


    was the first time Andrew had been treated this way by Max, the air between them growing thin.


    The other heirs in the vicinity had never seen the two in such a tense stand–off. Everyone knew how


    close they were, so what was happening now?


    Kenzo quickly stepped forward, cing a hand on Max’s wrist. “Max, let’s talk this out.”


    Max’s gaze was


    icy as he released Andrew’s cor and strode out the door. Andrew adjusted his cor and followed.

    Kenzo, seeing things escte, quickly tried to ease the tension with a smile to the others. “Everyone,


    please, let’s stay calm. I’ll go up and check on them.”


    In the presence of these three big shots, the others didn’t dare to speak up.


    Kenzo saw Max getting into his car, with Andrew following suit in his own vehicle. After a moment’s


    thought, Kenzo tapped on Max’s window, but Max floored the elerator, leaving Kenzo in a cloud of


    exhaust.


    Standing still, Kenzo then turned to knock on Andrew’s window. The window rolled down, revealing


    Andrew’s frosty face, “What?” His tone was unfriendly; he was clearly irate.


    Kenzo couldn’t help but chuckle as he opened the door and slid into the passenger seat. “Your guys


    are grown men, still acting like kids throwing tantrums?”


    Andrew gripped the steering wheel, unable to hold back hisints. “Wasn’t it him who threw a fit


    first? He himself said he doesn’t like Brielle, so what’s wrong with teaching her a lesson for deliberately


    knocking out Tessa today? Plus, it was out of consideration for him that I asked the Ronds to go


    easy on her; otherwise, knowing their nature, Brielle would already be dead.”


    Andrew hit the gas, heading towards the Rond estate. “Kenzo, you know Tessa is my life. Today she


    was rushed to the ER, and I couldn’t even ask the doctors how she’s doing. I’m just so afraid that


    something would happen to him. Her health has always been fragile over the years; sometimes I have


    nightmares that she’s suddenly gone. Brielle knew her condition and still pulled this stunt. What does


    she take the Ronds for, and what does she take me for? Without Max backing her, she wouldn’t


    dare be so reckless.”


    The more Andrew talked, the angrier he got, his eyes shing sharply. “She wants to use Max to break


    into our circle, but in the end, she’s just a clown.”
