Chapter 771

Andrew said nonchalantly, “Mrs. Rhodes, say whatever you want to discredit me. It doesn’t matter. I didn’t come here to fight over a man–I came for an explanation.”

Tiana could not help but feel irritated. She had made her words sharp and blunt on purpose, yet Andrew remained completely unbothered. There was not even a hint of anger on his face.

Most young men had hot tempers, especially the exceptional ones. The more talented they were, the more prideful they tended to be, refusing to be compared to others. When someone pointed out their flaws, they would usually snap, act tough, or lash out in frustration.

That was what annoyed and deflated Tiana the most. This kid did not react at all. She figured it had to be because Joe’s brilliance was just too overwhelming, too dominant. Andrew probably did not even have it in him to feel resentful or competitive.
