Eric rolled up the car window, feeling frustrated.

Chloe didn’t like Andrea.

If he wanted to go after Chloe, he had to distance himself from Andrea first.

The Jordan family’s car had just pulled away.

Not far away, Andrea got out of a taxi.

She jogged over and stopped Laura and the other members of the Sherman family. “Mom, Melody, Xander, wait!”

The Sherman family couldn’t help but feel furious the moment they laid eyes on Andrea.

They’d been hoping to cash in big time off Andrea and Melody, but ended up with nothing.

Good thing they listened to Lucille and stirred up trouble today. At least they managed to walk away with thirty thousand dollars from her.

If it weren’t for that, they wouldn’t have gotten a single cent.

Laura gritted her teeth in anger. “Go call Mrs. Quinn, your mom. I’m not taking that role.”

Andrea’s forehead broke out in a sweat as she pleaded, “Mom, we’re family. No matter what happens, you raised me. You’ll always be my mom.”

Melody stepped forward and shoved Andrea aside. “Please! At the wedding, you were thick as thieves with Violet. You really think we’re that easy to push around?”

Andrea begged, almost in tears, “Melody, Mom, Xander, Violet’s wedding was live-streamed today. Now the whole internet is tearing Violet and me apart, and Violet even lost her baby.”

Melody scoffed, “Serves you right! You totally had it coming!”

Andrea sobbed, “I know you’re angry, but you can’t just leave me hanging. You have to help me out of this

mess.”

Xander, furious, jabbed a finger at Andrea and yelled, “The second you got in with those rich tolks, you ditched all of us. And now you dare to come crawling back for help?”

Andrea quickly tried to pin it all on Astrid. “It wasn’t me who blocked you guys. Astrid made me cut you all off. I didn’t have a choice.”

She tried to sweet-talk the Sherman family. “Even though Violet lost the baby, she and Henry are already married in law. She’s the real matriarch of the Jordan family now, and I’m part of the Jordan family, too.

Mom, if you, Xander, and Melody go public and help clear our names with the media, Violet and I will make sure you get a big payday.” Andrea grabbed Laura’s hand.

Andrea added, “Mrs. Goodwin is the mom of Ian’s fiancée. She’s just using you. Don’t listen to her. Whatever she gives you, I’ll double it.”

Melody’s eyes gleamed with greed. “So, what exactly do you want us to do?”

Seeing Melody waver, Andrea jumped in. “Just tell everyone that Clint is Xander and Melody’s kid, and they adopted him out to me.

“Say you made up all that stuff at the wedding just to scam some money. I’m your little sister, and Violet is just my aunt, nothing more.

“Don’t worry, once I’ve got my footing in the Jordan family, the Jordan family and Hamilton family will be tied together by marriage. When I become Mrs. Hamilton, you can ask for as much money as you want

Melody’s sharp eyes caught sight of Ian and Chloe across the street.

She got it right away. Andrea was trying to play them again.

Melody shot Andrea a look. “Get real. Mr. Hamilton and his fiancée are totally solid right now.”

Andrea followed Melody’s gaze and froze in shock.

She thought, ‘Why is Ian alone with that woman Chloe?

‘Chloe has Ian’s jacket draped over her shoulders, and the two of them are huddled together under one

umbrella.

Andrea stared at Melody in disbelief, her voice trembling. “Melody, who exactly is lan’s fiancee”

Melody pointed across the street. “Can’t you see? Ian’s fiancée is standing right there next to him

Andrea’s brain short-circuited, and she almost lost her balance.

She shot Laura a stunned look, then stared at Xander, desperate for answers.

Andrea clung to Xander, her voice shaking. “Forget what everyone else says Xander, I need you to tell me Is Ian’s fiancée really that woman with him?”

Xander said impatiently, “Tan brought his fiancée, that woman, over to our seafood stall to buy seafood There’s no way we’d mistake her for someone else.”

Melody added, “We only called you back because she told us to. If you don’t believe it, go ask them yourself!”

Even if Andrea was slow on the uptake, she finally put the pieces together.

Andrea thought, ‘So Ian’s fiancée is that bitch Chloe!

‘Chloe had purposely told Xander and Melody that Ian still had feelings for me, even saying lan canceled huis

Then lan set up Margaret’s photo on the computer, making me misunderstand and fall right into the trap

After that, lan called the cops on me. forced Violet to beg Henry for help, and he took the chance to snatch up Quinn Enterprises’ land and projects in East City.

After that, lan tipped off Eleanor, making sure Eleanor and Renee would catch Henry in the act

Ian used Eleanor to force Violet and me out of the country.

Eleanor and Henry got into a messy fight over the assets, which sent Quinn Enterprises stock price crashing and left the company on the brink of bankruptcy.

‘I pissed off Margaret, so Mrs. Goodwin got back at me in secret, using the Sherman family to stir up trouble at the wedding and even causing Violet to lose her baby.

Turns out, Ian has been the mastermind behind everything from start to finish, pulling the strings and making it all happen from the shadows.”

Andrea stared daggers at the two huddled under the umbrella, seething with hatred and fury. She thought. fumed. ‘Chloe, you bitch, I swear I’ll make you pay for this. There’s no way I’m letting you get away with it

Andrea turned to the Sherman family and said, “I’m heading back to the Jordan family right now to get the money. If you’re willing to help clear things up for us, I’ll give you three hundred thousand

Before the Sherman family could even respond, Andrea flagged down a taxi and took off.

Right now, her top priority was to get back to the Jordan family and make sure she kept them on her side

Across the street, Ian spotted Andrea hopping into a cab with his usual sharp gaze

His eyes landed on the Sherman family by the curb. Without missing a beat, lan tolded up the umbrella and opened the car door for Chloe himself

Jan pulled up right at the hospital entrance with Chloe

After Chloe got out, lan turned to Mitchell and said, “Make sure to remind Mrs Goodwin Shed better watch out for the Sherman family. Their greed might just make them stab her in the back

Meanwhile, over at the Jordan residence.

The whole family was gathered in the living room, and the air was so thick with tension you could cut it with a knife.

Eric said, “Grandma, because of Andrea, the whole Jordan family is getting dragged through the mud and criticized left and right. If you keep defending her, then I’m done with this family.”

Astrid slammed her teacup down. “No matter what, Andrea is still one of the Jordan family by blood How can you, as her brother, say something like that?”

Eric stood firm in the living room. “There’s more to the Jordan family than just Andrea. She’s done enough terrible things. I refuse to call her my sister.”

Astrid jabbed a trembling finger at Eric, her voice shaking with anger. “Eric, you’re always the mellow one Have you lost your mind today or something?”

Antonio and Jude stepped up.

Jude spoke up, “Grandma, you saw the chaos at the wedding yourself, and the internet is roasting the Jordan family nonstop. We still have to manage the hospital and face people out there. We can’t just throw our dignity away.”

Eric said, “Grandma, either you kick Andrea out, or we’re leaving. The choice is yours.”

Astrid clutched her forehead, almost fainting.

Antonio said, “Grandma, you know what they say. Spoiling a kid is basically ruining them.

“You’re getting older, and sure, you can cover for her now, but you can’t do it forever. If you don’t rein her in. she’s going to destroy herself sooner or later.”

Hazel talked to Antonio on purpose, “Honey, pack up and come stay at my parents’ place with me The Jordan family used to be perfectly fine, but now, thanks to Andrea, this place is a total mess.

“How am I supposed to even think about having kids in an environment like this?”
