Chapter 1025

Author: Only For You
"Let's go! What the hell are you doing? Move!" Aspen was so pale she looked like she might pass out, and she shoved Andrew hard—twice.

She could not understand why he was being so reckless. Why could he not lower his ego and let this slide?

After all, this was not Jayrodale. This was the capital, a place crawling with power players and hidden sharks. Even Seth had the sense to shut up, and back down in front of Ruth, yet Andrew was still out here picking a fight.

Was he trying to get them killed?

Andrew suddenly pulled her into his arms, his gaze sharp and cold. He said flatly, "Don't worry. I've got you tonight. If anything happens to you, I'll make sure this trash excuse of a restaurant gets wiped off the map."

Aspen's mind went completely blank, and her body went numb. They were in trouble—deep, terrifying trouble.

Ruth let out a slow, furious laugh and snapped, "You've got a sharp mouth for someone so young! Do you really think you're untouchable? One word from me, an

    "I just want to prove myself. I want to start over!" Hannah said with determination. Freya slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Hannah. I don't think I can help you with this." Hannah's expression changed, her tone rising with frustration. "Why not, Freya? Don't you want to see me happy?" Even Emily looked surprised. "Freya, do you have something else on your mind?" Freya sighed. "No, Emily, nothing like that. I just… I just don't think Hannah and Andrew are a good match." The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, her gaze drifting away. Emily studied her sister closely but chose not to push further. Still, she understood everything in an instant. Freya had always been the quiet one and never fought for anything. Yet, this time, something had clearly shifted. Hannah snapped, "Freya, what do you mean we're not a good match? Dad already arranged for us three to be with Andrew. Once you and Emily back off, I'll have a chance. Isn't that how it's supposed to go?" F

    Andrew said, "Have you forgotten what my identity and background used to be? Me, afraid of some Special Ops director? You've got to be kidding me!" Chantelle was stunned for a moment. Then, she burst into laughter. "Got it, honey… You're the Lloyds' Dragon Prince, and your Chetvine Lloyds are royal bloodlines, so you're absolutely incredible, okay?" This was the first time she had called Andrew 'honey', and she discovered it rolled off her tongue incredibly naturally. Tonight, she could finally move into Serenity Villa, a privilege reserved only for official girlfriends. Just thinking about it made Chantelle incredibly excited. … Meanwhile, the video of Hank apologizing on his knees had already spread. It greatly helped to restore the Keller family's honor after the humiliation. Nonetheless, Hannah's emotional wounds could not heal overnight. "Hannah, cheer up. Look, Andrew already got revenge for you!" "That's right, Hannah! From now on, start fresh and become that happy

    Andrew pulled the knife away and sighed in disappointment. "That's it? You're already breaking? Boring. And here I thought you had nerves of steel. It would've been more fun if you'd held out longer. I was just getting started. Didn't expect you to be such a damn coward." Seeing that disappointed look on Andrew's face, Hank wanted to die right then and there. He thought Andrew was a living, breathing devil walking among mortals. Even Chetvine's notorious Ironhold Division probably could not produce such a twisted executioner. Hank growled in frustration, "Andrew, no matter how arrogant and powerful you are, Mr. Hale is not someone you can mess with." Andrew scoffed. "Oh, you mean Barnaby the Baby? Everyone knows him. If he dares raise his voice at me, I'll actually be impressed." Hank let out a bitter string of laughs. Even Chantelle and the others cracked a smile. When Andrew started bragging, he really did not hold back! Facing Hannah now, Hank dropped to his knees and

    Chantelle's face went pale as panic swept over her. If that mad dog of a director from Special Ops, Barnaby, really stepped in to save Hank, things could get ugly fast. With the way Special Ops operated, not even Derek would be able to handle the fallout easily. While everyone was still frowning, unsure what to do next, Andrew had already rolled up his sleeves and landed two brutal slaps across Hank's face. Hank, who had just been kicked earlier, now got his face lit up again. This time, it swelled instantly. He roared, "Andrew! How dare you slap me again? Are you out of your damn mind? Didn't you hear me say that Mr. Hale is coming for me personally?" His voice cracked with fury, eyes blazing. Most people would have backed down after hearing Barnaby's name, but Andrew? He did not even flinch. Hank could not understand what was wrong with him. How many lives did this lunatic think he had to spare? "I don't care who you report to," Andrew said coldly, yanking Hank up by

    At the Keller residence, Andrew and Chantelle brought Hank over together. Logan's eyes flashed with cold fury as he stepped forward and kicked Hank right in the face. With his remaining hand unable to move, Hank struggled to get up from the ground. His eyes were filled with vicious hatred as he spat, "Logan, I'll remember that. You're going to regret it." Logan looked ready to strike again, rage written all over his face. However, George walked out calmly, hands behind his back. He said, "Logan, stand down." Logan clenched his jaw but obeyed, stepping aside reluctantly. George did not spare a single glance at the kneeling Hank. Instead, he turned to Andrew and Chantelle with a warm smile. "You two have done well. Especially you, Andy… On behalf of Hannah, I thank you." Then, he bowed low, deeply and sincerely. Andrew panicked and rushed to hold him up. "Sir, please, you don't have to do this!" George gently pushed his hands away. "No, I insist. I'm doing this willing

    Andrew said, "I just want to know if she is really some unforgivable villain, or is there something we don't know yet?" Eric scoffed immediately. "Please. Spare me the drama. You've been defending that woman from the start. Ever since Joe showed up, I could see it plain as day. Andrew, you've been around. You've slept with your fair share of women, Chantelle included. But you'd better ask yourself: do you really want to mess with a witch? I'm just worried that you'll end up regretting it, because some things just aren't worth the thrill." That bastard really knew how to strike where it hurt. His words were sharp and painfully accurate. For once, Andrew was caught off guard, but he let out a cold laugh. He clenched his fists, and the sound of his knuckles cracking echoed through the yard. Eric tensed up. "What are you doing? I'm just telling the truth. If you hit me again, once I get my martial skills back, I swear I'll fight you to the death!" Before Andrew could take another
