Chapter 1113

Penulis: Only For You
Andrew had not expected things to get this awkward. Nonetheless, he swore that despite the torn stockings, Aspen's pencil skirt had covered everything. There were no scandalous views or nosebleed-inducing reveals.

However, Aspen clearly disagreed. She changed into a fresh pair immediately, then fixed him with a glare sharp enough to flay skin.

"Quit staring. We're leaving. I booked a property viewing. We need a place to live, after all," Andrew said, eager to escape.

As the capital city, prime real estate was not hard to find in Blumedale. Yet, Andrew was not just looking for luxury—he needed somewhere even the Goldings' assassins and the Haywoods' schemers would not dare touch.

That was how they ended up at The Sovereign Residences.

Aspen, who had been fuming in silence, finally spoke. "We can't afford a broom closet here, let alone a house. This isn't about money—it's about power and connections. The kind we don't have."

"Which is why I called in a favor," Andrew said.

    Andrew nodded and said, "Anytime works for me."Mylo had always been a pure martial artist, through and through. He had spent his entire life honing his skills out in the world.The future of the Robertson family was meant to fall into Emir's hands. He was born to be a family head because he was smooth-talking, calculating, loved to argue, looked great, had a high EQ, and was unbeatable at charming women.With someone like that running things, the Robertson family would never lack a successor.Mylo was the perfect candidate to be the Robertson family's "hidden blade". He did not need to do anything else but just be the family's sword. This is the most common structural setup among Chetvinde's great houses. In these families, brothers typically divide roles, with some handling the public face and others maintaining the power behind the scenes. However, not every household could balance it well because once emotions got tangled, it turned into internal strife and a fight to the d

    Eric stubbornly said, "Andrew, I can listen to you on other things, but not this. This is the first time I'm meeting this woman. Never mind whether what she's saying is true or not, but even if it is true, so what? You heard it yourself. I'm just a product of her venting and taking revenge on someone else. "Put simply, I'm just an extra, pathetic little creature. Under those circumstances, there were thousands of possibilities that I could've died at any moment. I could've been killed by someone, or abandoned and left to die."He continued, "But what did she do? She handed over gold and silver treasures, just material things, and nothing else beyond that. You want me to acknowledge her? On what grounds? I have parents. My mom died young, and my dad is right here. So I'm not lacking parents, and I'm not going to waste my energy on some melodramatic mother-son reunion with her."Jerome said, "Eric, it's already a fact. You can't deny it. Madam Baxter's situation at the time was compl

    Confused, Jerome asked, "But when I found Eric, he was already about three years old."Brielle said, "I'm sure about this. Eric lived with that farming family at the base of the Divine Alchemists' mountain for over two years. Every time I went down the mountain, I would secretly check on him. Perhaps heaven took pity on me, because Julius' injuries just wouldn't heal properly. "He was someone who pursued perfectionism and the ultimate martial path. With his trinity meridian seals unable to be restored and reopened, he couldn't reach the true peak of martial arts. For three consecutive years, he remained in seclusion. The entire Divine Alchemists sect gradually forgot about our engagement."She sighed and added, "Until one day, I heard Julius had come out of seclusion. They needed him to lead people down the mountain to suppress an uprising. A group of warlords and terrorists from the Western Regions had gone on a killing spree, massacring civilians."This was the incident Mr. Thor

    Andrew did not care about that. However, the fact that Brielle had once been such a fierce woman was something Andrew had not expected at all.Eric sneered again. "So what you're saying is, I'm just some accident you got from sleeping around with a random person for free? No wonder I've always felt like my entire life has been especially unlucky. Turns out you're the source of all my misfortune."Brielle's face was streaming with tears. "I know I've wronged you. But back then, I wasn't thinking about anything except revenge. I just wanted to make Julius and my mentor suffer. Later, that apprentice kept coming around to harass me, but I ignored him."She continued, "But gradually, I started to regret it… I never thought I'd actually do something like that. What scared me even more came later. Two months later, I found out I was pregnant, and my wedding with Julius was right around the corner."Andrew frowned. "Wait, that doesn't add up. If that's the case, you should've married Juli

    Brielle knew Eric was speaking out of anger, so she did not take offense and gave a bitter smile. She said, "Julius didn't harm me one bit. But what he did was more painful than putting me through torture 100 times over. He ordered that elderly couple to be burned alive, and forced me to watch it happen. I had to witness their screaming, their pitiful pleas for mercy, and finally their slow deaths."She continued, "That couple had a son, a daughter, and a daughter-in-law. Julius ordered all the women to be raped and then killed, while the men were tortured before being beaten to death." After finishing, Brielle closed her eyes. The events of that year still caused her unbearable pain and remained unforgettable.Andrew said nothing, but his eyes grew even colder. He had never liked Julius to begin with, and now this person deserved death even more. Jerome said in a heavy voice, "I can't believe that a master of a sect and one of the top figures in Holtrien's martial world could be

    Eric gritted his teeth in frustration. If it came to a fight, even two of him would not be a match for Andrew. The main thing was, with other people, Eric either looked down on them or refused to submit, but with Andrew, he was 100% in awe.There was no way around it. He could not beat him in a fight, and when it came to brains and schemes, he could not outwit him either.The two of them usually butted heads constantly. Yet, when it came to critical moments, Eric would always follow Andrew's lead. Andrew was quite satisfied to see that Eric had calmed down slightly. He said to Brielle, "Madam Baxter, please continue. As far as I know, you've never married in your life, so how could you have a son?"He chuckled awkwardly and added, "I'm not prying into your privacy… I just want to get the whole story straight."Brielle gently wiped away her tears and said gratefully to Andrew, "Thank you." She was thanking him for helping her keep Eric under control. Then, she began, "The Divi
