Chapter 240
“Aubree, have I been too soft on you?! Are you freaking teaming up with others to mess with me now?
Aubree’s back was nearly breaking, but she managed a smirk with a chill, “Your fiancée is lying in bed
and you’re still here fussing with me?”
That line hit a nerve, and Andrew lost his interest instantly, shoving her away and straightening his
clothes.
Aubree thought he was about to explode, but instead, he grabbed her chin. “Aubree, know your ce.”
Aubree looked down, wondering what ce she could possibly have. Wasn’t she always just dirt
beneath his shoes?
Andrew released her and strode back into Brielle’s hospital room.
Brielle’s frown deepened at his return. Andrew pulled up a chair and sat down, looking like he was
ready for a serious talk.
Kenzo, sitting nearby, sighed, “Andrew, if you’ve got something to say, say it. No need for violence.”
Andrew chuckled, his gaze fiery as he turned to Brielle. “Brielle, if it weren’t for Max, you wouldn’t have
made it out of the Rond family alive. Ifst night’s mess goes public, do you think Max’s reputation
will survive? Max has lived for over twenty years, and you are his only
stain.”
The words were like a million knives shing at Brielle. Her hands clenched the bedsheets tight, but
her face remained serene. She coughed hard a few times and then leaned back.
exhausted.
Kenzo passed her a pillow with a warning nce at Andrew.
Andrew huffed and stood up. “Max might be protecting you for now, so I won’t touch you, but I can’t
swallow my pride. You better pray he shields you forever because once you step out from under his
wing, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
Brielle coughed again, her cheeks flushing from the effort. She smiled faintly, then locked eyes. with
Andrew–one seething, the other calm.
“Andrew, did youe all this way just to throw your weight around? Aubree’s right. You might want to
spend your time outside the ICU keeping vigil for Tessa.”
Andrew’s eyes zed with fury, his hand raised in anger, but it was caught mid–air. Kenzo’s forehead
creased, “Max is still abroad. Things between you two are tense enough. Don’t make it worse for
everyone involved.”
Andrew’s chest heaved with rage, and he stormed out, mming the door behind him.

With Andrew gone, Kenzo exhaled, “You shouldn’t provoke him like that. Andrew never thinks. about
the consequences. If I hadn’t been here, he might have left you crippled. He doesn’t have ‘don’t hit
women‘ in his vocabry.”
Brielle just felt drained, her chest tight. Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was Patrick.
Seeing Kenzo, Patrick was a bit surprised but didn’t ask questions. “Ms. Brielle, I’m here to take you to
Premier Pce to recuperate.”
Brielle was eager to leave, so she turned to Kenzo, “Thanks, Kenzo,” Kenzo nodded and headed. up to
where Tessa was being treated.
Brielle followed Patrick to the car, her wrists both bandaged. Patrick, ever considerate, opened the door
for her and advised, “Mr. Dorsey won’t be back for a while, Ms. Brielle. Take some time off work, and let
your wrists heal. You don’t want to risk long–term damage.”
Brielle murmured an acknowledgment.
Patrick nced at her through the rearview mirror, still worried. He couldn’t help but add, “If you’re
feeling better, you could give Mr. Dorsey a call.”
Brielle’sshes fluttered, noticing her phone on the seat next to her. She hadn’t expected Max to be so
thoughtful as to bring her phone from the Rond family. She felt a warmth in her
heart.
As they arrived at Premier Pce, something felt off. The security was tighter, patrols everywhere. The
entrance even had extra guards.
“Patrick, what’s going on outside?”
Patrick knew he couldn’t hide it, so he came clean, “It’s Mr. Dorsey’s orders. He’s worried that one day
Michael mighte knocking.”
