Chapter 636


    Aubree had never moved from this ce because it held a myriad of memories with Andrew.


    Well maybe not all of them were happy memories.


    Every time Andrew got stered, when work got under his skin, and he felt like he was about to lose it,


    he’de over to her ce. They’d go at it like rabbits as If, by doing so, they could forget everything


    else in the world. They were in their roaring twenties, brimming with energy that seemed endless, and it


    all got channeled into their passionate escapades.


    A sharp pang of pain hit Aubree’s chest, but it was quickly drowned out by the echoes of those men’s


    insults in her head. Her stomach churned with nausea, and unable to hold it back, she doubled over


    and vomited.


    Brielle jumped, rmed, “Aubree, are you okay?”

    After rinsing her mouth with water Ricardo handed her, Aubree replied with a pale face. “I’m fine. I just


    skipped dinner and felt a bit queasy. If you think we should sell the ce, let’s do it. I need a fresh start


    anyway. The neighbors there… they’re not exactly part of my fan club.”


    Brielle looked at the graffiti that marred the walls and the door- ‘whore,‘ ‘slut,‘ and ‘tramp‘–the hurtful


    words were scrawled endlessly by both men and women.


    “Alright, I’ll call the real estate agent tonight.”


    After hanging up, Brielle knew Aubree was probably still in the dark about the scandal rocking the


    Rond family. She didn’t n on spilling the beans. If Aubree wanted to focus on her acting, so be it.


    The agent Brielle contacted was efficient. Coupled with a hefty price drop, a buyer was found almost


    immediately.


    The paperwork was sorted out the same evening, Aubree’s belongings were moved out, and the keys


    were handed over. The house was sold in less than three hours using a special expedited


    process.


    Meanwhile, the Clements family was in the throes of a heated debate. The Rond family’s reputation


    was in tatters,but Tessa was still living with the Clements.


    Was Andrew really going to seize this moment to marry her? It was utter madness!


    Marissa sat amongst the family, silent throughout. Her quietness surprised everyone. She was the one


    who valued the family’s reputation most. Why was she mute now when their name was at risk?


    Marissa’s expression was impassive as she sipped her water.


    Andrew had roughed it outst night in the vi next door, not sharing a bed with Tessa. So, he didn’t


    know that she’d also spent a night on the floor.


    Today, his phone had been bombarded by reporters and calls for emergency meetings. He

    hadn’t stopped all day and hadn’t seen Tessa, only instructing the house staff to take good care of her.


    As soon as he arrived home, he was whisked into a family meeting, looking visibly irked.


    Marissa set down her cup. “Andrew, if you care for Tessa, then marry her. She has no one else but you


    now, right?”


    The family was stunned, and even Andrew was taken aback. Marissa, of all people, was supporting his


    marriage to Tessa despite the Rond scandal.


    Andrew’s brow furrowed as he tried to read something, anything, on Marissa’s stoic face. But she was


    unusually somber tonight, only querying the familywyer beside her.


    “By the way, I have five percent of the Clements Corporation shares that I want to transfer. Can you


    arrange the paperwork for me?”


    Was Marissa thinking of transferring her shares to Tessa? Had she lost her mind?


    Surprise flickered across Andrew’s face. “Mom, I know you like Tessa.”


    Just then, Tessa descended the stairs. She had worked hard to reduce the swelling on her cheeks.


    Though still reddened, she looked far better than the previous night’s disarray.


    Hearing from the staff that Andrew had returned, she hurried down, tears streaming down her face.


    “Andrew.”


    He hadn’t been home all night, and she had endured plenty of cold shoulders here. -Marissa despised


    her, and every servant in the house looked down upon her. Tessa couldn’t stand it here. She yearned


    for a life with Andrew, just the two of them.


    Seeing her fragile form, Andrew’s heart softened. Only when Tessa reached his side did he grasp her


    hand. “My mom’s going to transfer five percent of thepany shares to you. Say ‘thank you,‘ will


    you?”
