NovelEndChapter 1088 Back inside the Rhodes residence's living room, both Jameson and Lauren looked utterly baffled by what they saw.
Jameson asked, "Andy, Tiana, what the heck happened to you two? Tiana's clothes were disheveled, her face pale, and there were traces of blood on her blouse.
Andrew looked even more outrageoushis entire upper body was bare, showing off lean muscle and perfect definition, while his arm still supported Tiana as they walked in.
The way it looked...
well, let's just say it could be wildly misunderstood.
Tiana's cheeks flushed, and she said casually, "Jameson, are you just going to stand there? Helpto my room. My injury from.

Thankfully, Andrew helpedback." Jameson blinked.
"Oh...
right.
That makes sense.
Alright, Andy, hand her over to me.

Rhodes, it's not too serious.
With rest and a few days of care, you'll recover just fine." Tiana gave a soft hum of acknowledgment and left the room with Jameson.
Meanwhile, Lauren turned to Andrew with a sly smile, ---- her eyes practically glowing with mischief. Andrew blinked.
"What's with that look?" Lauren giggled and asked sweetly, "Andrew, what exactly happened between you and my mom in that garden? How did your shirt end up ripped?" Andrew immediately waved his hands.
"It's not what you're thinking! Lauren, don't jump to conclusions!" She burst into laughter, clearly enjoying his flustered reaction.
"Relax! I know nothing could've happened.
My mom has a nasty temper and a sharp tongue.
She hides a lot, but I know her better than anyone.
There have only been two men in her life she ever truly loved.
One of them was her first lovethe one who broke her heart.
She used to talk about him when I was little, but now she never mentions him.
And the other man...
is my dad." Andrew really wanted to confess that Tiana's first love was his father.
However, after sthought, he decided to keep that bombshell to himself.
No need to mess with Jameson's peace of mindespecially since Tiana had claimed Jameson and Reginald used to be friends.
Still, after so many years, who knew how Jameson might feel about it now? Andrew could not imagine what would happen if Jameson found ---- out the son of his former love rival was now dating his daughter.
After all, that would piss any man off.
Andrew and Lauren cuddled a bit more before he glanced at the tand figured it was about tto leave.
If he wanted to be with Lauren without complications, he had to resolve things with the Driscolls.
Still, this trip to the Rhodes estate had not been pointless.
At the very least, he had pulled Lauren's family back from the brink.
As for Kenny and Sherilynwhether they could survive the fallout from the Goldings was still up in the air.
Even if they lived, they would no longer be a threat to Jameson.
Rubbing his stomach, Andrew let out a dry chuckle.
He had fought and bled through all that chaos, and he had not even gotten to eat dinner.

Pulling out his phone, he dialed Aspen's number, hoping his loyal little assistant had dinner plans in place.
"We're sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable." m Andrew's brows furrowed the moment he heard the automated message. He had explicitly ordered Aspen to keep her phone on 24/7 for emergencies.
Even if she could not answer, her phone should never be off.
A sinking feeling crept into his chest.
Without wasting a second, he hailed a cab and headed straight for Aspen's rented villa.
---- When he arrived, the area was silent.
"Now that's interesting," Andrew murmured, a cold gleang flickering in his eyes as he stepped boldly toward the door. This was a luxury villa, yet at this hour, no streetlight or exterior light was on.
He did not need confirmationhis instincts screamed that someone had broken in.
More specifically killers.
As Andrew stepped into the first-floor living room, he was greeted by pitch-black silence.
However, his eyes were as sharp as a predator's.
Suddenly, he noticed that there were bloodstains on the floor.
