Jeffrey parted his thin lips slightly, his voice cold and sharp. “If you end up in the hospital because of an accident, of course, I’d take care of you. But don’t forget how you got there.”

Andrea froze at his words. Back then, she tried to force Jeffrey to choose between spending time with her and with Rebecca and Samuel. She staged the car accident on purpose. He had been annoyed afterwards, but he hadn’t really scolded her.

“I will take care of you and give you the life you want,” Jeffrey repeated firmly, with no hint of leniency this time. “But it’s only because of gratitude.”

Andrea’s heart tightened. She couldn’t argue with him, so she stayed silent. Soon, the car Gregory had sent arrived, and Jeffrey got in with her.

Nobody spoke during the ride. The tension was suffocating. “So… does that mean you won’t come to Harmony Estate anymore?” Andrea asked, trying to break the heavy mood.

Jeffrey replied simply, “It depends.”

Those words made Andrea realize how clear–headed he was. Even in a situation like this, he could have said he wouldn’t come, but instead he gave a rational answer based on that so–called gratitude.

“I want to ask you something,” Andrea said, eager for an answer.

“You may ask,” Jeffrey replied.

A flicker of hope appeared in Andrea’s eyes. “If you met me first, not Rebecca, would you have treated me the way you treated Rebecca?”

Jeffrey looked at her, confused. “What is it?” Andrea didn’t realize it was a tricky question. “Hard to answer?”
