“Is Jeffrey resting, or is he with Rebecca?” Andrea thought about the message on her phone, and her feelings got out of control.

Jeffrey had agreed with Andrea to give Rebecca a hard time, but now he was favoring Rebecca in everything.

Gregory remained expressionless, his tone all business. “Mr. Hanson’s private life is not for an assistant like me to ask about.”

Andrea looked at him. She knew he was lying.

Everyone in Jelasburg knew Gregory was Jeffrey’s right–hand man. He had been by Jeffrey’s side even before Jeffrey took over the Hanson Group. He knew Jeffrey’s daily plans inside out.

“Can you help me contact him?” Andrea suppressed her emotions, not confronting Gregory directly.

Gregory took out his phone and dialed Jeffrey’s number in front of her.

The same automated voice came through. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

Afraid she wouldn’t hear, he put it on speaker. “Mr. Hanson switched off his phone.”

Andrea was speechless. Of course she knew it was switched off.

“When he turns his phone on, tell him I’ve been discharged.” Andrea pulled out the IV needle, threw off the covers, and started to get out of bed. “I don’t like being alone in the hospital.”

Gregory reached out his arm and blocked her. “Mr. Hanson ordered me to watch over you.”

Then he called the nurse to put the IV needle back in.

Andrea wanted to refuse, but hesitated when she saw Gregory’s unreadable expression.

A gut feeling warned her that if she refused, he wouldn’t hesitate to have someone restrain her and force the needle in. And if she pulled it out, he’d just have it put right back in again and again.

At this thought, Andrea suddenly felt unsure.

Seeing her cooperate quietly without trouble, Gregory felt relieved. ‘Mr. Garcia’s trick worked,’ he thought.

Jeffrey was still asleep, and he didn’t know what was going on with Andrea. He held Rebecca the whole time, sleeping for hours.

Rebecca tried every trick, but couldn’t escape. She didn’t dare bite him to get free; if she did, she was sure he might do something improper.

With their difference in strength, she didn’t dare risk it.
