In the stark reality of the attorney’s office, Andrew didn’t flinch as he scribbled his name on the divorce papers.
Stepping out of the precinct, he was met by Marissa’s furious slap.
“Smack!”
His head snapped to the side, and he tasted the metallic tang of blood. Marissa’s hand trembled as she pointed at him, but no words came out.
Andrew narrowed his eyes and wiped the blood from his lips. “Mom, I’m not going to let the Clements Corporation suffer because of this.”
Marissa, seething, raised her hand to strike again, but Andrew caught her wrist firmly. “I’m going to be with Aubree, come hell or high water. So, the Clements family needs to stop arranging her marriage prospects.”
“You’ve lost your mind!” Marissa yanked her hand back and sneered coldly after a moment, “You want Aubree? Have you thought about if she even wants you? You’re divorced now, damaged goods. There are plenty of eligible bachelors out there, and she’s about to start acting. The entertainment industry is crawling with handsome men. What makes you think you stand a chance?”
Andrew didn’t respond. He quietly got into his car.
As he left, he told someone standing by, “Make sure the folks inside know the Clements family doesn’t want her to have an easy time.”
The person shivered and nodded quickly. “Mr. Clements, don’t worry, we’ll put her in with the hardened criminals.”
Andrew nodded, still uneasy. “Don’t let anyone visit her.”
