Chapter 607
On the balcony, Tessa finally heard themotion from the room. She quickly pocketed her phone.
The video was her ace in the hole, not to be shared recklessly. It was to be kept safe.
Whenever she felt down, she’d watch it and enjoy how Aubree was defiled on the bed by several
men.
A smirk yed on her cheeks as she entered the bedroom. “Sorry, I just couldn’t sleep and ended up
flipping on the TV. Did I wake you, Andrew?”
Andrew didn’t speak, feeling a bitter tang in his chest. The urge tosh out was strong. He rubbed his
temples, his voice t. “Turn off the TV.”
For some reason, Tessa didn’t dare provoke him now. He was having nightmares, perhaps? He
seemed so grim, his pallor ghastly.
She hurriedly shut off the TV and tiptoed to the bed, wrapping her arms around him. “Let’s just sleep.”
Andrew, fighting a wave of nausea,y back down.
At the hospital.
Doctors surrounded Aubree, their expressions grim. Everyone knew what she had endured, but no one
dared ask for details.
After treating her wounds and assuring her that the missing tooth could be fixed, the doctors left the
room.
Brielle, standing by, fought back tears. She would have rather endured all this herself than see Aubree
suffer so.

Aubree blinked her stinging eyes. Her body ached, and she was utterly speechless. Her throat felt like
it was clogged.
She gestured for Brielle to step out. She craved rest, to lie on this stark white bed until the end of time.
Her voice was weak, and her body was drenched in sweat. Brielle stepped out to handle the hospital
admission, leaving Aubree to her solitude.
Once alone, Aubree rushed to the en–suite bathroom to vomit. Her stomach burned as if on fire.
Closing her eyes only brought back the vile words.
The men were dead, gone for good, but the vition shadowed her still.
Her stomach convulsed, spasming. Yet she called for no doctor, almost relishing the revolt of her body.
It felt like breaking down, sinking into the mire, into the dark, where redemption was out of reach.
When Brielle returned, she didn’t enter the room right away. Aubree had asked for space, probably to
process things on her own.
Chapter 607
Brielle blinked away the sting in her eyes and wandered to the opposite balcony. That was when she
spotted Ricardo in the hallway. He looked shaken, undoubtedly by the events he’d witnessed. After a
moment’s thought, Brielle offered him some candy from her pocket.
Ricardo froze, staring at the colorful sweets in his palm, his face flushing. “Ms. Haywood, I’m not a kid
anymore.”
“Take it. You’ve been through a shock, haven’t you?”
Her voice was raw, her eyes red, a clear sign of her own struggle against immense pain. Still, she
sought tofort him.
Ricardo managed a weak smile. “No. Ms. Haywood, am I going to jail?”
“No way, you’re Ster Stage’s golden boy. I won’t let you go to jail.”
Patrick’s guys should be handling things by now. After tonight, no one would know what happened
there.
“Ricardo, you’ll be fine. Trust me.”
“Yeah, I trust you.”
A small smile tugged at Ricardo’s lips. “But Ms. Haywood, aren’t you scared of me after what
you saw?”
He had to ask. What was going on inside Brielle’s head? She was so different.
“You were just scared. If anyone should be afraid, you should be scared of me. After all, I’m the one
who ended a life.” She looked down at her fingertips. She could smell the smell of bloom clinging to
them. Maybe she was never normal.
Her gaze fell. “Anyway, don’t worry about what’s next, Ricardo. Just y your part, and leave the rest
to me.”
“Okay, Ms. Haywood. I’ll y my part.”
“In your presence, I’ll be the obedient and clean Ricardo,” He thought.
Brielle nodded. “You must be exhausted and frightened. Go rest.” .
Ricardo grinned, revealing sharp canines. “Alright.”
He strolled out of the hospital in high spirits, when a man emerged from behind a tree nearby. “You
fooled her with such a poor act. I wonder if Brielle is naive or just missing a screw.”
