Quinn reached out, but stopped just before touching, and instead pointed to the top of his head.
Andrea hurriedly brushed away the fallen leaves, her ears slightly flushed.
“Freedom has its own benefits,” Quinn suddenly said, “At my house, those kids have to report even the color of the socks they wear when they go out.”
Andrea chuckled lightly, “Really?”
“Tricking you.” Quinn’s eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement, “But you do need to bring bodyguards.”
They sat on the long bench under the plane tree, chatting about the funny things in their childhood.
Andrea realized she was actually laughing, real laughter, not the carefully calculated expression‘ she used to deal with Roderick.
The sunlight peeked through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light on Quinn’s profile. His eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes as he spoke, making him look extremely striking.
Behind the bushes in the distance, a man wearing a duckbill cap quietly pressed the shutter.
The man in the duckbill cap behind the bushes made a phone call, “Ms. Turner, the photos are taken, yeah, very intimate… I’ve sent them to Mr. Hodgson already.”

In the office.
Roderick stared at the photo on his phone, his knuckles turning white.
In the photo, Andrea was smiling so naturally, with the sunlight shining through the plane tree leaves casting dappled light on her face.
And Quinn, that pretentious rich boy, was looking at her with those disgusting gentle eyes.
Bang!
The crystal cup shattered in his hand, glass shards stuck in his palm, blood dripping down his fingers, landing right on Andrea’s face in the photo.
“Mr. Hodgson!” The assistant quickly handed over a tissue, scared.
Roderick’s voice was as cold as ice, “Check the full surveillance of Andrea leaving today!”
The assistant was about to respond when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
“Roderick!”
Matilda walked in, wearing high heels, “My parents are pushing for marriage again, saying we’ll have an engagement party when we get back.”
Roderick didn’t even look up, “No time.”
Matilda’s smile froze for a second, her eyes landing on the bloody photo on the table, and immediately she put on a worried expression, “Oh, how did you get hurt?”
She nervously went up to check on Roderick, but he pushed her away.

“Go out,” Roderick finally looked up, his eyes dark and menacing.
Matilda tactfully changed the subject, “Don’t be like this. If Mrs. Hodgson were still here, she would feel sorry for you getting hurt for the enemy’s daughter.”
Roderick’s expression suddenly changed.
He remembered how his mother lay in a pool of blood, that fierce anger instantly suppressed, leaving only cold hatred.
“You know I never forget to get revenge.”
Matilda’s eyes lit up with a hint of triumph, but she said softly, “Of course I knew, it’s just that Andie…”
“I called the shots for her.” I turned and looked out the window.
Matilda rolled her eyes, picked up her bag and walked out, saying, “Fine.”
“Wait a minute,” Roderick pulled out a black card and threw it on the table, “Go buy what you want.”
As Matilda walked out swaying her hips, Roderick smashed his fist on the computer screen.
At the same time, in the welfare home, Andrea saw that it was getting late and prepared to leave.
“It’s getting late, I should go back now.”
Just as she stood up, everything went black in front of her.
Her last consciousness was Quinn’s panicked face, and the arms that caught her securely.
