Chapter 144
Quinn’s kindness to her seemed to have already gone beyond the category of “married couples for business interests“, but she was so clueless that she didn’t realize it.
She pushed him away in a panic.
“I’m tired, I’m going back first.”
Andrea got off the car in a hurry and rushed into the villa like her life depended on it.
The moment she closed the door, she heard her heart beating out of control.
And downstairs in the Maybach, Quinn looked at her slender figure and took out his phone from the inside pocket of his suit.
“Send me all the surveillance footage from Obsidian Diner this afternoon, including the hallway and private rooms, right away.”
“As long as Andrea is in the frame, not a single frame can be missed.”
When the surveillance footage lit up on the tablet, Quinn’s pupils suddenly constricted.
In the corridor, Roderick was soaking wet, with bloodshot eyes, dragging Andrea into the compartment.
The next second, the scene switched to inside the private room.
The man suddenly kissed her forcefully, and she was momentarily stunned, not pushing him away immediately.

Quinn slammed his fist hard on the steering wheel, his chest heaving.
In the scene, Andrea finally started to struggle and slapped Roderick.
When Roderick stabbed the fruit knife into his hand, Andrea cried and rushed over.
Quinn’s temples were pounding.
The tablet was dropped heavily on the dashboard, and the screen instantly cracked with spiderweb–like patterns.
Quinn stared at the screen, gritting his teeth.
“Roderick, why are you always lingering around like a ghost?”

transaction.
Even the possible future marriage life, she had already planned it out in her heart.
Playing husband and wife with mutual respect, fulfilling the duty of carrying on the family line when necessary for the benefit of the family, she thought she could calmly detach her emotions, like completing a routine task.
The reality is, her ideas weren’t that easy to put into practice.
Quinn’s scorching words, those gentle details hidden within…

Andrea suddenly felt extremely exhausted.
I was torn all afternoon, but couldn’t find an answer.
“Never mind…”
She muttered to herself, “Take it one step at a time.”
When she got up, her legs were numb, so she shook herself and walked to the bathroom.
The steam in the bathroom fogged up the mirror. Andrea walked out wrapped in a towel, and her phone was buzzing like crazy on the coffee table.
The lock screen was filled with dozens of missed calls from Caspar.
Andrea woke up as if from a dream, she actually forgot about the gallery.
She immediately called back, and the phone was quickly answered.
“How’s the gallery doing now, Caspar?”
Her response was a long silence.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No.”
Andrea rubbed her forehead and felt that the other person was acting weird, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
