“Fine.” Jeffrey replied, not missing a beat, his gaze unwavering. “If there’s one thing I’ve got plenty of, it’s cash.

With that, he hung up.

Stephen spoke up before Jeffrey could end the call. “Wait.”

Jeffrey’s voice was cool and indifferent. “What is it?”

“I won’t reach out to Andrea again,” Stephen said, still uncertain whether Jeffrey was bluffing or not, but wanting to play it safe. “But you stay out of my business, too.”

Jeffrey didn’t say a word and just hung up.

He had zero interest in meddling in other people’s business; that was just his way of warning Stephen to back off.

Honestly, Stephen clearly cares about whether Karen stays or goes, but he still lets his parents pick out a fiancée for him. Pathetic.

Half an hour later.*

Jeffrey pulled up at Harmony Estate.

Andrea was sitting on the living room couch, clearly furious, with the two bodyguards Jeffrey had hired for her standing stiffly in front of her.

As soon as Jeffrey walked in, Andrea jumped up and started airing her grievances, “I just asked them to help me move a few things, and they flat–out refused. Then they started talking trash right to my face. So, what are you going to do about this?”

Jeffrey gave them an icy stare.

The two bodyguards started trembling.

“So, how do you want me to handle it?” Jeffrey asked.

“Make them slap themselves and kneel down to apologize to me,” Andrea demanded, not holding back anymore–she was just acting like herself now.

“They work for me, that’s it,” Jeffrey replied, his voice cool and steady. “I can’t just order them around to do stuff like that.”

Andrea shot back, “If you say the word, they’ll do it.”

Jeffrey fixed her with an intimidating stare.

Andrea’s bravado faltered for a second, but she stubbornly continued, “So, all that talking about taking care of me–was that just for show? You can’t even bother to stick up for me when I need it?”
