Andrea thought for a moment, then looked up at Caspar and said, “Let’s go back to the police station and make them think carefully. I just feel something is not right.”
As we were walking out, Caspar said, “I think so too. Since it’s a very precious oil painting, how could the surveillance angle be missing? And it’s strange that the knocked–over stand fell right onto the painting. Usually, things placed nearby are handled with care, especially such valuable paintings. It doesn’t make sense for this kind. of situation to happen.”
They exchanged a glance and both felt something fishy, so they hailed a taxi and went back to the police station.
Andrea didn’t expect that Bradley was still hanging around here at this
time.
“Hmph, you guys are done this time. Breaking such a precious painting, your gallery is going bankrupt!”
Their faces were very serious, but Bradley’s smile was very carefree.
“Mr. Hodgson, please come this way.”
A faint sound came from the distance.
Andrea perked up her ears, leaned over Bradley’s shoulder and looked past.
A few police officers, looking respectful, nodded and led a tall and slender man over.

She saw that face.
It’s Roderick.
He came rushing in, looking disheveled, with messy hair, hurried steps, panting, and his chest visibly heaving.
Almost as soon as Andrea looked past, Roderick’s gaze also shifted towards her.
Their eyes met.
It was a hot, sticky, sharp, possessive gaze.
Andrea seemed like she got burned, her eyes flickered for a moment.
She avoided his sharp gaze, looked away, and focused on Bradley in front of her.
Bradley was still clueless, with a tone of contemptuous malice: “I’d say it’s better to shut down. You should go make porn films instead of running a gallery. With your looks, you’d make a fortune.”
The playful gaze, shamelessly lingering on Andrea’s chest and legs.
She was wearing a hoodie and a long skirt.
But his gaze, it was creepy as if she was naked.
Andrea’s face was full of humiliation, looking pale and green.
What made it even more unbearable for her was that every word seemed to hint that he had seen the private video of her and Roderick.
Andrea’s veins were bulging, gritting her teeth in frustration.

Before she could slap him.
Bradley was already pulled away by someone, and Roderick didn’t. hold back, his fist landed hard on his check without any hesitation.
Andrea heard the sound of fists hitting, Bradley fell down, coughed twice on the ground, and spit out a bloody white tooth from his mouth.
“Who the hell was that bastard?”
Bradley mumbled, wiped his bloody hand, and instantly looked fierce.
He turned his head, pupils shrinking.
Roderick was icy and terrifying, with eyes that looked down on you without any human emotion.
Bradley felt like his heart was being squeezed by an invisible giant hand, and then suddenly tightened.
All the thorns on his body disappeared in an instant, his face looked like it had been painted, a few shades whiter.
“Mr. Hodgson…“.
Roderick gave him a cold glance, then turned to look at Andrea.
His cold eyes gradually softened into tenderness.
“Andie.”
A hand touched Andrea’s cheek, and the man’s gaze fell on her forehead, which had turned brown from the iodine.
He suddenly put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
He buried his head, pressed against hers, and took a deep breath in her

It’s like a lucky escape and a close call.
