Chapter 463
Looking toward the entrance, Rodney felt furious at whoever dared interrupt him. However, when he recognized one of the two people who entered, he nearly wet himself.
Dean and the hundred-plus students of Madblade Martial Academy collectively stepped back, falling silent. The newcomers were Francesca and Andrew.
Andrew had not expected to return to Madblade Martial Academy so soon. After leaving Rhodes Corporation, he went back to Jayrodale General Hospital, where Francesca asked him to accompany her to treat a patient at the academy.
Rodney’s father, Vince, had deep ties with Cedric. Due to this connection, Francesca could not refuse the house call.
Andrew could guess why Madblade Martial Academy had requested Cedric’s help. After all, he had given Ivan quite a beating. Since Ivan was an honored guest, Rodney would naturally seek treatment from someone of Cedric’s caliber.
However, Andrew had not anticipated returning to the academy, much less encountering Christina and Aspen in such a predicament. Francesca also noticed Christina being restrained and Aspen being molested by Rodney.
As a woman, Francesca immediately understood what was happening. Her innocent face darkened with disgust as she spoke, “Rodney, I came in my grandfather’s place to treat your patient, and this is what you show me?”
Rodney released Aspen and smiled nervously. “Dr. Aicker, I apologize for the unsightly scene.”
He did not dare act rashly toward Francesca–not when he needed her help. However, it was Andrew’s piercing gaze that sent chills down his spine.
“Let them go!” Francesca commanded coldly.
Rodney frowned and replied, “Dr. Aicker, please don’t interfere with Madblade Martial Academy’s affairs.”
“Rodney, have you lost your humanity?” Francesca shouted angrily. “How dare you do this to a young woman? Don’t you fear karma?”
Rodney’s face darkened considerably. If he had not been interrupted, he would have made sure both Christina and the prideful Aspen would avoid him like the plague in the future.
His desire to possess the Stevens beauties made him reluctant to release them, and he was about to refuse Francesca’s demand. However, Andrew’s ice-cold stare fell upon him, making his entire body shiver with fear. He felt like his life was hanging by a thread.
Unable to meet Andrew’s glare, Rodney relented, his voice trembling. “Let them go!”
Once freed, Christina covered her mouth and burst into tears. Without even checking on Aspen, she fled from Madblade Martial Academy, deeply traumatized by the day’s events.

Aspen, her hair disheveled and eyes fierce, slapped Rodney hard across the face. She snarled, “Rodney–and all of Madblade Martial Academy–mark my words! The humiliation I suffered today, I will repay a hundred, no, a thousand times over!”
The hatred in her voice made even Andrew raise an eyebrow. It was clear that this woman had suffered greatly at Rodney’s hands.
Rodney’s anger flared as he rubbed his stinging cheek, but with Andrew watching, he dared not retaliate. He clenched his fists, swallowing his fury, and allowed Aspen to leave the academy unchallenged.
