Chapter 465
“Aspen’s a proud woman who thinks highly of herself. You’re dead meat for daring to violate her,” Andrew remarked casually, killing time while waiting for Francesca.
Rodney sneered. “If that woman doesn’t know her place and dares to cause trouble again, I’ll do more than just touch her next time.”
Andrew delivered another slap, not too hard, but enough to make Rodney stumble forward.
“Andrew, stop hitting me! I’m warning you–don’t push your luck!” Rodney shouted, his anger masking his fear.
If it had been anyone else, he would have already drawn blood.
Andrew did not even spare him a glance. “Watch your language when you talk to me. Honestly, you’re lucky I don’t hate you as much as Harvey or Michael–those idiots who never learn from their mistakes.”
Rodney scoffed, his anger barely contained. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten how you trashed our academy’s reputation. We haven’t even settled that score yet!”
Andrew grinned casually. “Feel free to settle it anytime. I’ll be here.”
He paused and then asked, “By the way, you messed with Aspen–did you mess with Christina too?”
“Didn’t get the chance,” Rodney replied regretfully. “I was planning to take them both, but you barged in and ruined everything.”
Andrew glanced at the academy heir and shook his head with a laugh. “Rodney, you’re the most straightforward predator I’ve ever met.”
Rodney sneered. “I’m not like those hypocrites Michael and Harvey. When I want something and can take it, I just do it anytime, anywhere!”
Just then, Francesca returned from the treatment and approached Andrew with a smile. “Andrew, we’re done here. Let’s go.”
“How’s Mr. Lincoln?” Andrew asked.
Francesca sighed and explained, “His external injuries aren’t bad, considering how strong he is physically. But his internal injuries are severe. His throat has fractures–I can’t tell if he was attacked by a wild animal or suffered some other brutality.”
Andrew’s expression stiffened as he twitched slightly. Meanwhile, Rodney rolled his eyes, knowing full well who the “wild animal” was. Unfortunately for him, Andrew caught his expression and delivered another slap on his head.
Rodney exploded with rage, unable to contain himself any longer. “Andrew, I’ll fight you to the death…”
But when he looked up, Andrew and Francesca were already walking away, completely ignoring him. Rodney stood there, stunned, his anger building until he thought he might burst.
As they left Madblade Martial Academy, Francesca gave Andrew a curious look. “You seem to know Rodney pretty well. It’s strange how he didn’t get angry when you hit him.”
Andrew laughed, “Oh, he was angry alright–he just couldn’t do anything about it!”
Francesca smirked. “He deserves it. You probably don’t know this, but Rodney is one of Jayrodale’s Four Most Eligible Bachelors. Compared to Michael and Harvey, he may be less cunning, but he’s just as despicable, if not more so!”
Andrew nodded calmly. “Yeah, I’ve noticed.”
He could not forget the scene he had walked into earlier–Aspen being humiliated in the middle of the academy. It was clear just how despicable Rodney truly was.
Suddenly remembering something, he turned back toward Rodney, who immediately became defensive.
“What now?” Rodney asked warily. “I haven’t been talking behind your back!”
