Chapter 83
Glancing back, she saw the gloomy–faced Roderick appearing at the door, the familiar anger in his eyes making her instinctively nervous.
Subconsciously clutching the hem of the skirt, eyes darting around, feeling like caught red–handed.
I didn’t do anything wrong.
Andrea bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the nervous feeling in her heart.
“I was asking you a question.”
The just calmed down tension was shattered by Roderick’s angry reprimand
The explanation that was about to come out of my mouth got swallowed back down, and my mind went blank.
Too scared to look at Roderick, instinctively turned to Quinn.
The gentle Quinn, like jade, was a stark contrast to the rough and aggressive Roderick by his side.
“Andrea, look at me.”
Roderick roughly grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her in front of him.
“Answer me!”
“I…I just wanted to thank Mr. Shillingford.”

She heard her own hoarse voice, “The art exhibition, he helped me a lot…”
“Why did you have to choose a private room, why did it have to be just the two of us, and why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
“Andrea, you knew I told you to stay away from him, why did you still go out with him alone?”
Roderick’s emotions were getting more and more intense, and the hand clutching his wrist was unconsciously applying more pressure.
Andrea avoided Roderick’s intense gaze, her voice as light as drifting feathers.
“I just wanted to thank Mr. Shillingford for his help. You’re always so busy, I didn’t want to waste your time…”
“He helped you, right?”
This sentence hit Roderick’s sore spot again.
“Since you had trouble in your studio, why didn’t you think about asking me for help? Were you afraid of bothering me?”
He suddenly grabbed her wrist, with such force as if he wanted to crush her into his bones.
“You’d rather bother a stranger than come to me, Andrea, what are you thinking?”
Quinn didn’t want to argue with Roderick, making Andrea uncomfortable.
I couldn’t just stand by and watch when Andrea was hurt, so I spoke up and interrupted.

“If Mr. Hodgson wants to interrogate the suspect, he might as well rent an interrogation room at the police station.”
The moment Quinn spoke, Roderick’s already out–of–control emotions reached their peak. He let go of Andrea’s hand, approached Quinn, and the tense atmosphere between them was almost suffocating.
“Mr. Shillingford seemed particularly concerned about Andie’s situation, didn’t he?”
“This was between me and Andrea.”
This sentence totally lit up Roderick’s anger.
He suddenly grabbed Quinn’s collar and slammed him hard against the door.
The two of them made quite a commotion, attracting the attention of many people outside the private room.
“Stop!”
Andrea was in a panic, but Roderick, whose anger had clouded his judgment, couldn’t care less.
The sound of the suit fabric tearing, mixed with Matilda’s screams, exploded in the compartment.
When Marvin and Caroline rushed over, they caught Roderick pushing Quinn against the wall.
Caroline caught a glimpse of Andrea’s red eyes and probably guessed what was going on, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over.
“Roderick, it’s normal for young people to fall in love, don’t be too restrictive…”

Andrea opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but then Roderick suddenly let go of her hand and straightened out his wrinkled suit.
He gave a sarcastic smile and turned to look at Caroline.
“Just now Uncle and Aunt were right.”
