After the divorce, he begged

Chapter 237

Andrea couldn’t help but look over at Rebecca, who seemed totally unbothered.

She felt bitter.

She just couldn’t accept it.

Why does she always come out on top? Why is everyone so eager to shield her? Andrea thought resentfully,

“I can pay you whatever you want,” Andrea said firmly, still glaring at Rebecca. “Just help me tie her up so she

can’t move!”

The two thugs sized up Mark, who looked ready to throw down at a moment’s notice, then glanced at Andrea, who was basically seething with jealousy. In the end, they dismissed her proposal, not even bothering to hide their contempt. “Go ask someone else.”

They weren’t stupid.

Those two newcomers clearly had higher status.

Andrea might have deep pockets, but at the end of the day, this was just some drama between women. No way were they going to risk their lives or catch a felony over something this petty.

“You guys!” Andrea could do nothing but seethe, frustration and anger flooding her–she was completely out of options.

“Mark, we’re leaving,” Rebecca said coolly, clearly done with Andrea and unwilling to waste another second on

her.

“Don’t even think about leaving!” Andrea burst forward to block her way, eyes blazing hotter than ever. “You’re not going anywhere until you call Jeffrey and make him forgive everything!”

If Rebecca left now, Andrea would lose every bit of leverage she had.

She knew full well exactly what kind of nightmare was going to hit her next.

Rebecca just shot her an icy glance and kept walking, totally unfazed.

Bang! “I said you’re not leaving!” Andrea snatched up a glass, smashed it, and pointed the jagged edge right at Rebecca. “If you take one more step, I swear I’ll—”

Crash!-the glass slipped from Andrea’s trembling hand and hit the floor with a loud clatter.

The threat died on her lips as the shattered glass scattered at her feet.

Mark was even quicker, grabbing Andrea’s wrist and twisting it behind her back in one smooth move.

Andrea let out a sharp cry of pain.
