Liliana panicked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Somebody! Somebody get in here! Kick these bastards out right
now!”
This was the Peck family’s turf, and Caroline was known for housing some seriously ruthless muscle.
Yet, despite all her screaming, no one showed up.
Andrew’s eyes glinted with icy contempt as he stared her down. “Stop yelling. Every one of your precious Peck family guards is either dead or knocked out.”
Liliana’s face drained of color. “No… That’s impossible. There’s no way you could’ve gotten in here!”
Aspen and Francesca, burning with fury, stormed forward and started beating her without hesitation. Seeing their best friend lying bloodied and broken on the ground, the two women lost all sense of restraint.
Andrew, barely holding back the urge to slaughter the entire Peck household, ran over and scooped Lauren into his arms. He checked her injuries and quickly slipped a healing capsule between her lips.
However, his heart sank when he noticed that her lower spine had been shattered by that vicious kick.
Sure, Andrew could heal her completely, but the sheer pain she had endured had already ignited a wildfire in his chest.
“Honey… you came,” Lauren whispered through shallow breaths. “I knew you’d come for me. That’s why I wasn’t afraid.”
She smiled faintly, her whole body finally relaxing as she rested in his arms.
“Yes, I’m here. Lauren, just sleep for now.”
Watching her fight to stay awake broke his heart all over again. He gently pressed a point on the back of her neck, putting her into a peaceful sleep.
“Fran, Aspen, take her home now,” he said in a voice devoid of warmth.
Francesca trembled as she accepted Lauren from his arms. Don’t worry… We’ll take care of her. But what about you? Aren’t you coming with us?”
Andrew grimaced. “Not yet.”
He turned to the side and said, “Natasha, please bring Ms. Peck over.”
He dragged out the word ‘please‘ with venom.
Natasha smiled wickedly and walked over, grabbing Liliana by the hair and dragging her across the floor mercilessly.
Liliana let out a bloodcurdling scream. “What are you doing? Let me go! Unhand me right now! Andrew, you piece of shit! If you lay a hand on me, my dad, my aunt, and the entire Peck family will destroy you!”
Andrew casually leaned back as Dylan brought him a chair. Start.”
Liliana’s threats meant nothing to him.
Natasha yanked Liliana’s head up and landed several thunderous slaps across her face. In just moments, the high- and–mighty heiress was sobbing, her mouth swollen, lips split, blood gushing out.
“You bastard! You heartless monster!” Liliana wailed, completely hysterical. “You’re dead! You’re so dead for

Andrew did not flinch. He crossed one leg over the other and coldly ordered, “Keep going.”
Natasha grabbed Liliana’s hand and snapped a finger, and scream of sheer agony tore through the air.
Andrew did not say stop, so Natasha broke another one, and then a third, and a fourth.
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” Liliana screamed at the top of her lungs. “Mr. Lloyd, please! Have mercy! Please, I beg you, please spare me. Don’t torture me anymore. I can’t take it!”
Snot mixed with tears streamed out together.
It was like hell on earth, and Liliana did not know what to do besides begging for mercy.
Andrew said flatly, “Continue!”
Natasha kept going, and Liliana’s tortured screams echoed again.
Caroline, who was fighting fiercely with Tiana, suddenly backed away and roared, “You little bastard, do you you’re playing with fire?”

Andrew glanced at her, “You’re wrong. I’m not playing with fire, I’m playing with the Peck family. But so what? What can you do about it?”
Caroline screamed, “You’ll pay for this! You’ll pay for everything you’ve done today! You know our family’s standing in Blumedale! If either of us gets hurt tonight, you’re finished!”
Andrew gave a cold, empty smile. “Mrs. Rhodes, do you want to handle this hag, or should I?”
Tiana did not answer. She simply launched herself at Caroline again.
Within a few brutal exchanges, Caroline lost her footing, and with one explosive strike, Tiana knocked her across the room.
Desperate, Caroline scrambled to escape. However, Andrew just chuckled, lifted a hand, and flicked a golden needle through the air.
It struck her right in the back. She let out a screech and tumbled from the second floor to the first, crashing into furniture as she fell.
“Andy! You didn’t have to step in! I told you I’d deal with this bitch!” Tiana growled, clearly annoyed.
Without waiting, she jumped down from the second floor and grabbed Caroline by the hair.
