Chapter 106
Blood dripped from Christinaโs mouth, panic seizing her heart. Alone in Nelsonโs office, her cries for help unheard. Tears streamed down her face as fear overwhelmed her. Instead of thinking of her fiancรฉ, Harvey, she thought of Andrew.
Suddenly, the office door crashed open. Christina and Nelson turned in shock as Andrew strode in, his expression cold. Without hesitation, he delivered a powerful kick to Nelsonโs chest, sending him sprawling backward into his desk.
Christina stood frozen, eyes wide, staring at Andrewโs swift action. โW-What are you doing here?โ she stammered, the sting of the injury on her face still sharp.
Andrewโs eyes were ice-cold. โMs. Stevens, did you forget? You called me.โ
โNo, I meanโฆ h-how did you get past security?โ she stuttered.
โThatโs irrelevant,โ Andrew snapped. โWhat were you thinking, coming to this predatorโs office alone?โ
โI-I didnโt think,โ Christina mumbled. โPlease donโt be angry.โ
โIโm not angry,โ Andrew replied coldly. โIโm amazed at your recklessness.โ
Christina bit her lip, silently enduring his scolding. His stern expression was intimidating, but she couldn't understand his anger when she was the victim.
Nelson groaned, struggling to rise, his face contorted with pain and rage. He growled, โHow dare you hit me! Iโll make you pay!โ
Christina gasped, tugging on Andrewโs arm. โAndrew, letโs go! Security is on its way.โ
โWhich hand did he use to strike you?โ Andrew asked calmly.
โHuh?โ Christina blinked, confused.
โWhich hand?โ Andrew repeated, his voice stronger, more commanding.
โHis right hand,โ she answered, flinching.
Without hesitation, Andrew stomped on Nelsonโs right hand, a sickening crack echoing through the room. Nelson screamed, writhing in agony as his bone shattered.
Christinaโs mind went blank, realizing his retaliation. Andrew pulled her toward the door. โHe hit you, so I broke his hand. Seems fair.โ
Nelson burst out behind them, screaming, โSecurity! Stop them!โ
A dozen security guards rushed forward with batons, followed by bank employees, their hostile glares fixed on them. They froze at the sight of Nelsonโs injury.
โMr. OโConner, w-what happened?โ
Nelson clutched his injured hand, rage contorting his face. โYouโre dead! Iโm the manager of Jayrodale Bank! I can destroy you!โ
Andrewโs response was swift and brutal. Two sharp slaps sent Nelson sprawling, blood and teeth gushing from his mouth as he landed with a thud.
