Chapter 3 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 Meanwhile, Andrew had already settled into a Rolls-Royce, heading toward Jayrodale General Hospital.

His phone rang, and to his surprise, it was Christina calling.

Since their relationship was over, Andrew saw no reason to answer.

Yet, the phone kept ringing, seemingly urgent.

Frowning, Andrew finally decided to pick up.

Andrew, listen to me.

Turn yourself in immediately! Christinas voice blared through the speaker, catching Andrew off guard.

That King of Diamonds is worth 7.5 million dollars, Andrew.

Have you lost your mind? I know you did this to make me happy, but have you considered the legal consequences? Turn yourself in now, while theres still time.

Dont worry, with Stevens Corporations influence in Jayrodale, Ill do my best to keep you out of jail! Christinas voice was filled with righteous indignation, feeling disappointed in Andrew.

Andrew finally understoodshe thought he had stolen the King of Diamonds.

Youve got it wrong.

I didnt steal it, he said simply, not wanting to explain further.

Christinas anger flared.

Andrew, are you still trying to deny it? Shawn and the Stevens Corporation employees told me everything.

Her accusatory tone left Andrew feeling cold.

Christina, is that really what you think of me? You trust someone like Shawn over me? Christina hesitated, her voice softening slightly.

Im sorry if Ive hurt your pride, Andrew.

But this is serious.

The owner of Radiant Jewelers is someone even Im wary of.

Dont you understand? I cant protect you from this! Andrew could not help but scoff at her misplaced confidence.

He replied in an icy tone, Even now, you still believe that I stole it.

Fine, if thats what you want to think, go ahead.

You can call the police or tip them off.

Im not afraid.

Andrew, why are you being so Christinas words were cut off as Andrew ended the call.

Christina stared at her phone in disbelief, her lips parted in shock.

The old Andrew would never have hung up on her like that.

Moreover, he had rejected her well-intentioned advice.
