Chapter 179 +26 BONUS Andrew shook his head .


    Theres no need for such formalities between us , Ms.


    Rhodes .


    Lauren felt warmth in her heart at his words but still huffed , Well , at least you have some conscience .


    I thought youd forgotten all about me now that youre rekindling things with Ms.


    Stevens ! Andrew gave a wry smile , wisely choosing not to exin .


    After all , some things would only get worse with exnation .


    Later , they made their way out of the forest and found the Rhodes family security team .


    Miss , thank goodness youre safe ! they eximed upon seeing Lauren .


    What happened to those thugs who ambushed us ? Lauren asked .


    Mr.


    Keoghan arrived and drove them all away , Eunice replied angrily .


    He even killed a few of them .


    Jerry came ? Where is he ? Lauren asked excitedly .


    Just then , a muscr middle aged man strode toward them with purposeful steps .


    Miss , wheres Tracia ? I dont see her , he asked .


    Tracia is dead , Lauren replied coldly .


    Jerry Keoghan , the Rhodes familys top fighter , eximed in shock , What ? Tracias dead ? Who killed her ? Ill avenge her death ! His eyes swept over Andrew with obvious hostility .


    Tracia deserved to die she tried to hand me over to the kidnappers , Lauren said with disgust .


    Thankfully , Andrew arrived in time to save me .

    Lauren scowled .


    Jerry , show some respect to him .


    He saved my life , and I already told you- Tracia deserved her fate for betraying the Rhodes family .


    Impossible ! Tracia would never betray , the Rhodes ! Jerry shouted in anger , grabbing at Andrew .

    Stop it , Jerry ! Laurenmanded , stepping between them .


    As a member of the Rhodes family , I order you to stand down ! Jerry reluctantly backed off but barked at Andrew , Watch your back , boy .


    Tracia was like a sister to me .


    We trained together and served the Rhodes family together .


    I wont let you get away with killing her .

    maupuy , pool I understand the brotherhood between martial artists can be stronger than replied with a cold smile .


    But its interesting that he refuses to believe you about Tracias betrayal and attempted harm .


    You think Jerry might have been in on it with Tracia ? Lauren asked in rm .


    Andrew shook his head .


    I dont know if they were working together .


    But his narrow minded nature and the killing intent in his eyes suggest hes not to be trusted .


    Jerry is even stronger than Tracia , Lauren exined .


    He does have a habit of looking down on others , unting his talents like hes above everyone else .


    But my father respects his skills and usually turns a blind eye to his domineering behavior .


    Andrew shook his head again , his tone dismissive .


    At best , hes a peak level hidden force martial artist .


    People like him wouldnt even qualify as cannon fodder in certain ces .
