You Broke Me First, Now You Beg のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Andreas fell silent for a few moments.“Does anyone know who did it?”“Not yet. The head of security is still gathering information. They also haven’t been able to determine whether the shooting is connected to the previous dispute.”Andreas held out his hand.“Give me your phone.”Virgo immediately handed it over. Andreas called the number again, asking for a firsthand account of the scene, the time the victim had been found, and who had been present. His questions were brief and direct. He didn't raise his voice, but every pause between questions made the atmosphere feel increasingly heavy.Aeris didn't interrupt.Just a few minutes earlier, they had been discussing someone who might have deliberately planted the red footprints in the mansion. Now, a death had occurred at the port that lay at the heart of a dispute between several powerful families.Too many things had happened within such a short period, and Aeris was certain they were all connected.Andreas ended the call and retu

Cyntia had just stepped out of a boutique when someone walking in the opposite direction brought her to a halt.The woman wore a simply cut dress with a cream-colored coat that fit her perfectly. A designer handbag hung from her arm, and her hair was neatly styled, not a single strand out of place.Cyntia recognized her.Ruth Castilano.Andreas's younger sister recognized Cyntia as well. Her gaze swept over the woman standing before her before a faint smile appeared on her lips.“Cyntia Harrison, right?”“That’s right. We’ve met before.”“Of course. You’ve been to the Castilano residence.” Ruth gave a small nod. “If I remember correctly, you’re Aeris’s younger sister.”Cyntia's expression shifted for a moment before returning to normal.“Yes.”After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ruth glanced at the boutique behind Cyntia.

North Port was still tense when Andreas arrived.Several of Montana’s men had gathered not far from the shooting scene. Their faces showed barely concealed anger, while members of the other families chose to keep their distance. No one truly wanted to be the first to act, but the atmosphere was tense enough that a single misunderstanding could turn into a confrontation.Andreas walked through the crowd without saying much. Virgo followed behind him, occasionally giving him brief updates on the situation at the port.The victim had been moved to a safer location for examination before being taken away. However, the shooting scene remained under guard. Several port security officers had secured the area, while Montana’s men insisted they would not leave until the perpetrator was found. Jerry Montana was already waiting near the storage warehouse.As soon as he saw Andreas, he approached him.“I want to know when your people are going to find the shooter,” Jerry said without beating arou

Andreas had only just returned to the mansion after spending two days dealing with the situation at North Port. The investigation had yet to yield any breakthroughs, and the shooter’s identity remained a mystery. However, he had managed to gather several important pieces of information that could help determine the next direction of the investigation.It was late at night when his car entered the mansion grounds.As soon as he stepped out, Andreas handed his jacket to the servant who approached him, then walked inside. He intended to head straight to his room after freshening up. However, he stopped when he saw someone waiting for him in the living room.Aeris.She was sitting on the sofa with an open book resting on her lap. When she heard footsteps, she immediately looked up. Her previously calm expression softened with slight relief when she saw Andreas standing in the doorway.“You’re back?”Andreas looked at her for a moment. “Why aren’t you asleep?”“I was waiting for you.”Her

No one responded immediately.Andreas rarely gave lengthy explanations about his work. But when he chose to speak, no one in the room was foolish enough to dismiss his words as mere self-defense.Jerry still looked dissatisfied.“So, have you found anything?”Andreas turned his gaze to Virgo.Virgo gave a slight nod, confirming that their people were ready to carry out the next instructions.Only then did Andreas look back at Jerry.“There’s been some progress.”The atmosphere in the room shifted almost immediately. The Jackal representative, who had been defensive until then, straightened in his seat. Meanwhile, Jerry leaned forward, as though he didn’t want to miss a single word.“What did you find?” he asked.Andreas didn’t rush to answer. He studied the faces around the table, making sure they understood that what he was about to reveal wasn’t the res
