Chapter 12 The hostile blond guy was none other than Christinas good for nothing brother , Leroy Stevens .


    Couldnt win fair and square , so youre resorting to threats ? Andrews expression remained nk ,pletely unfazed by the life in Leroys hand .


    Irene snarled , Andrew , dont forget , youre nothing without Christie .


    She gave you everything for three years .


    How dare you do this to her ! Andrewughed at their audacity , his tone full of mockery .


    You should be asking what I gave her during those three years , not the other way around .


    Bullshit ! Irene exploded .


    Youve been mooching off Christie .


    What could you possibly have given her ? Youve got nothing to your name , you shameless parasite ! Andrew scoffed , Is that so ? If I recall correctly , negotiated several key contracts for Stevens Corporation .


    And wasnt I the one who bailed your deadbeat son out of jail ? Your family seems to have lost all sense of decency , Irene , flushed with anger , and embarrassment , You ungrateful bastard ! Back then , you were with Christie .


    It was just a small favor , and you think doing a few errands makes you special ? Leroy cut in impatiently , Mom , stop wasting breath him .


    Let me teach him a lesson ! Then , he raised the knife threateningly .


    Ill give you onest chance .


    Are you handing over that property or not ? Andrew replied coldly , The propertys no longer in my possession .


    Im sorry , but I cant hand over what I dont have .


    Leroys face contorted with rage , veins bulging on his forehead .


    Yet , before he could act , Andrew continued , Besides , even if I did have it , why would I give it to you with this attitude ? If youre here to ask for a favor , show some respect .


    If youre here to y tough guy , sorry , Im not interested in your games .


    With that , Andrew turned to leave , not sparing a nce at Leroy .


    Leroys eyes were bloodshot as he screamed , You bastard ! Take one more step , I dare you ! Youre not leaving until you sort this out ! Irene sneered , hands on her hips , Andrew , youd better cooperate .


    You know Leroys temper .


    Who knows what might happen if you upset him ? Andrews lip curled in disdain .


    Oh really ? Id like to see him try .


    Without Christinas influence , Leroy was less than an insect in Andrews eyes .


    You asked for it ! Leroy was furious as he swung the knife at Andrew .


    ious as he swung the knife at Andrew .


    3/3  Chapter 12 .


    With Christina as his sister , Leroy was used to throwing his weight around both at home and in public .


    No one dared to defy hlin .


    Meanwhile , eene had not expected Leroy to actually attack She cried out in panic , Leroy , stop ! Youll kill him ! Nheless , it was toote .


    Leroy snarled , Im going to make him bleed today .


    Not even God himself could stop me .


    Andrew swiftly dodged the knife , causing Leroy to miss his alm .


    Andrews eyes turned ice cold .


    Youre worse than an animal .


    Since Christina cant keep you in line , Ill teach you some manners in her stead ! Immediately after , he pped Leroy so hard that t sent Leroy spinning , his head ringing .


    However , Andrew was not done .


    He continued to p Leroys face several times , followed by a powerful kick to the stomach .


    Leroy let out a pitiful wail , violently expelling the contents of his stomach .


    Irene stood frozen in shock .


    Seeing Leroy on the ground , his face swollen and barely recognizable , she quickly snapped out of it and rushed to his side .


    Leroy ! Leroy , are you okay ? Doctor ! We need a doctor here ! she screamed .


    Andrews voice was cold as he replied , Im sorry , but our hospital doesnt treat trash like him .


    It was then that Irene remembered Andrew was a doctor himself .


    She red at him venomously .


    Andrew , you bastard , youll pay for this ! Leroy is Christies brother .


    Shell make you answer for this ! Crying and yelling , Irene helped Leroy up and hurried off to find another hospital .


    Andrews face remained expressionless as he entered Jayrodale General Hospital .


    He had actually held back .


    Otherwise , Leroy would not just have a swollen face he would have been dead .


    Before he reached his department , Lauren texted him .


    [ Dr.


    Lloyd , care to join me for dinner tohight ? ] Andrew did not want to get too entangled with Lauren and simply replied , [ Sorry , Ms.


    Rhodes .


    Im busy tonight .


    ] Lauren sent back a devious emoji and texted , [ But Ive got some info on what youre looking for , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    Are you sure youre still busy ? ] Andrew sighed .


    [ Fine , Ill stop by tonight .


    ] Meanwhile , at the Rhodes family mansion , Lauren lounged in a revealing nightgown that left little to the imagination .


    Putting down her phone , sheughed mischievously .


    Oh , you sweet 2/2 Chapter 12 thing You wont escape my grasp that easily ! After changing into his white coat , Andrew arrival at his office right on time .


    As he was about to open the door , he heard a womans desperate plea from inside .


    Dr.


    Philip , please dont do this ! I I have a boyfriend ! Andrew recognized the panicked voice as N Goth , a pretty nurse at the hospital .


    Like I give a damn about your boyfriend .


    Be a good girl and use that mouth , or Ill have you fired with one word .


    Dr.


    Philip , were at work ! How can you ask such a thing ? What if- What if someone sees ? Do you think Im scared ? My dads the deputy chief here .


    The Hackett family runs this ce .


    Now get on with it .


    N began to sob .


    Dr.


    Philip , Ive always respected you like an older brother .


    Why are you doing this to me ? Please dont do this ! You little slut , ying hard to get ? If you really respect me , satisfy my needs .


    Make me happy , and Ill get my dad to promote you to head nurse .


    No , I cant … A loud p echoed , followed by Ns cries .


    Andrews face turned grim , and he burst through the door .


    Inside , he found Philip with his pants around his knees , eyeing the tearful N with a sleazy gaze .


    Ns sweet face , usually adorned with dimples when she smiled , was streaked with tears .


    Seeing Andrew , she ran behind him .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , please help me ! Andrews face was cold as ice as he addressed Philip .


    Pull up your pants , now ! Philip sneered , unashamed .


    Make me .


    What are you going to do about it ? Honestly , Andrew , Ive been sick of you for a long time .


    Sure , youre a hotshot doctor and Laurens pet .


    But at the end of the day , youre still a loser who relies on women .


    Without Christina or Lauren , youre nothing .


    I dare you toy a finger on me ! Philips pants were still down as he red at Andrew smugly .


    Alright , Andrew replied coldly .


    If you wont pull them up , you wont need them anymore .


    In a sh , Andrew kicked at Philips groin .


    There was a sickening crunch that could make anyones skin crawl .


    Philip immediately let out an agonized scream , his face turning an ugly shade of purple .


    He copsed to the ground , clutching himself in agony , his body convulsing as he foamed at the mouth .


    The nurse gasped in horror .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , did you just … crush his …
