Chapter 358 In truth , Simon felt deeply satisfied , hoping Andrew would get what he deserved from Donald .


    That way , no one would be left topete with him for Francesca .


    However , Cedric was not swayed by Simons words and instead gave thetter a grim look .


    He demanded , What exactly are you trying to say ? Sir , Im just reminding you that Andrews made too many enemies and cant be saved now , Simon said stubbornly .


    He added , Even if all the Aickers tried to help , wed be powerless we cant risk conflicting with the police and destroying everything weve built .


    Francesca rushed over with tears in her eyes before Cedric could strike his ungrateful apprentice .


    Grandpa , we dont need his help .


    Ive already called Lauren lets go save Andrew now ! Dont cry , sweetheart .


    Dr.


    Lloyd will be fine , Cedric quickly consoled her .


    Francesca wiped her tears anxiously and said , Donald is notorious for using torture and crippling people .


    Im worried well be toote ! Simons face darkened as he watched them ignore him .


    Sir , you think too highly of that nobody .


    Hes probably already being tortured by Mr.


    Warren , crippled and wishing he were dead ! Simon grew angrier the more he thought about it , and finally , he could not stop himself from saying something vile .


    Suddenly , a sharp sound rang out as a red handprint appeared on his face .


    Francesca had struck him , her expression seething with fury .


    Simon clutched his face , disbelief written all over him .


    Fran , you hit me ? Over an outsider ? Ive cared for you and protected you since we were kids , but now , for Andrew , of all people , youre raising your hand against me ? Francescas voice was cold and unyielding .


    Simon , Andrew is not an outsider to me .


    And as for you , you know very well what your real intentions are .


    That night , if Andrew hadnt been there to protect me , Im sure I wouldve already fallen victim to you , wouldnt I ? Simon felt his entire body flush with anger and embarrassment but forced himself to stay calm .


    Fran , I dont know what youre talking about .


    That night , when Andrew brought you back , I was actually suspicious of him and his motives ! He continued , Im sure he made up all kinds of lies about me to turn you against me .


    But you … you trust him over me ? How wonderful ! Francesca smirked .


    Still trying to twist the story ? Fine , let me make it clear my drunkenness that night ? It was an act .


    I was fully aware when you snuck into my room , Simon .


    Chapter 358 I saw everything .


    simon froze , his anger reced by a chill that spread through his entire body .


    Fran , 1 … He opened his mouth to defend himself , but the words stuck in his throat .


    Francescas eyes bore into him , filled with disgust and contempt , leaving him utterly speechless .


    Grandpa , lets go to the station and get Andrew Francesca said tly .


    She turned and left the room with Cedric and the other Aickers apprentices , heading straight for the police station .


    Simon was left alone in the Aickers hall , his jealousy and resentment growing like an uncontroble wildfire .


    Fran , he muttered bitterly , his voiceced with venom .


    So , youve figured it all out .


    Fine .


    No more hiding , then .


    You are mine .


    You belong to me and no one else .


    But youre giving your heart , your loyalty , maybe even your body , to that loser Andrew .


    I wont allow it .


    And I wont be kind anymore .


    Ill have you , Fran .


    Whatever it takes , by any means necessary .


    Simons face twisted with rage as his thoughts spiraled .


    With an enraged roar , he mmed his fist into a nearby ceramic jar , shattering it into pieces .
