“Andie was family! I’m warning you, cut out those inappropriate thoughts right now!”
“So what?”
“I have no blood relationship with her! Even if she is my blood relative, as long as I like it, I still won’t care about these!”
He suddenly stood up and locked eyes with Lucian.
“I only wanted her in this lifetime.”
“Just like back then when you were determined to marry Scarlett no matter what!”
“You ungrateful child!”
Lucian grabbed the phone on the table, smashed it against the wall, and the screen shattered with a loud noise.
“You get out of here!”
Roderick didn’t hesitate, he turned around and slammed the door.
In the study, Lucian was leaning on the edge of the desk, breathing heavily.
“Rebel…rebel!”
The sunlight was slanting on the glass door of the gallery, reflecting tiny patches of light,

just ten meters away from the gallery.
A crowd of people gathered at the door, each holding up their phones high, pointing the camera towards the entrance.
What’s going on?
She frowned, about to approach, but the noisy crowd suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only crushed cigarette butts and crumpled leaflets all over the ground.
There were a few faded notes on the glass door, with crooked words saying “Dangerous Gallery, Watch Your Step“.

The office was packed with employees, and there was a sense of anxiety in the air.
Tessa pushed her sliding glasses and handed the phone to Andrea.
“Ms. Rehbein, take a look at the original post. She said she was planning to visit our gallery at that time, but ended up getting pushed and injured during the argument.”

The comment section was already flooded with angry comments, some even posted blurry side profile pictures of a few employees.
Andrea clenched her phone, with a deeper frown on her forehead.
“Darnell, didn’t you say you had already worked out compensation with the other party?”
Speaking of this, Darnell was immediately furious.
He took out his phone, opened the chat history.
A green chat box with a red exclamation mark floating in front.
“The day before yesterday she promised me in person to settle it privately, but last night, she turned around and posted this short essay. I contacted her this morning, WhatsApp account was deleted, and phone number was blocked.”
The coffee machine in the pantry made a final buzz, but no one went to get the brewed coffee.
Serena hesitated to speak.
“Ms. Rehbein, is the gallery across the street up to something fishy?”
