“Thank you so much, Mr. Maxwell, I’ll go back and wait for your good news.”
At the police station.
The partners at Cloud Gallery were still racking their brains trying to remember the details.
Suddenly, a police officer walked in.
“Guys, it’s all good, you can go now.”
Everyone was stunned, couldn’t believe their ears.
Andrea couldn’t help but ask, “Hi, can I ask why we can leave now?”
“Mr. Maxwell called and told us to release you.”
When everyone walked out of the police station, they were still in shock.
“I thought it was all over, but it turned out things took a turn for the better.”
“I was scared to death too, but why did Emerson let us go? Did they already catch the culprit?”
“I was still wondering, was it us who broke the painting?”
“You’re silly, it definitely wasn’t us. We were framed. We’ll have to wait for Ms. Rehbein to ask and find out what really happened.”
Roderick’s phone rang, and he answered.

I heard the assistant’s voice on the phone.
“Mr. Hodgson, the thing you asked us to do, we hadn’t even started, and it was already resolved It was Quinn from the Shillingford family. he had just come out of Mr. Maxwell’s house. Emerson even walked him to the door, they seemed to be getting along well”
It’s him again.
Roderick’s expression suddenly turned dark and gloomy
The hand with bulging veins was so strong that it almost crushed the phone.
Roderick hung up the phone, raised his eyes.
Andrea was comforting everyone gently, “It’s getting late, let’s all go back and rest. Tomorrow at the art exhibition, we’ll find out what’s going on.”
“Okay, Ms. Rehbein.”
“You guys take a taxi back and get some rest early.”
“Okay.”
Darnell stood on the roadside, waving for a ride.
A taxi drove over with its lights on, casting a silver–white silhouette of Caspar’s tall and muscular figure in the night.
Andrea lightly tapped his arm and said in a friendly and natural tone, “I’ll wear your clothes first, and then give them back to you after washing.”
“Okay, no rush.”

Caspar showed his handsome profile, looked down at her gently, and had a smile on his face.
The scene, with handsome men and beautiful women, as peaceful as a youth movie poster, made Roderick, who had just been teased by Quinn, even more embarrassed.
The string of reason suddenly snapped.
He walked up with dark eyes, reached out, and pulled Andrea, who was bending down to instruct the driver on safety, towards him.
Andrea was so scared that her heart skipped a beat, she quickly reached out to pull the hand on her waist, trying to keep her distance.
Roderick firmly held her, pressing her against him in a suggestive position.
Roderick gave Caspar a possessive and threatening look, then ordered Andrea with a commanding tone.
“Give him back the clothes now.”
The warm breath was almost touching Andrea’s ear.
She froze, her voice almost catching, “But…”
“I don’t want to say it again.”
Roderick’s voice cut her off, icy and chilling.
Andrea remembered how fierce and terrifying Bradley looked when he hit him, so she didn’t dare to provoke him. She bit her lip, grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, and slowly took it off from the top of her head.
Almost the next second, she immediately put on a cedar–scented coat.

Roderick touched her ear and said, “So cute.”
He then stood up straight, snatched the hoodie from Andrea’s hand, and threw it out the car window like trash.
