Chapter 205 We Can’t Let This Happen
Steven had just finished a meeting when his secretary informed him that Andrew had gone. to have fun at the nearby attractions. He didn’t suspect a thing as he knew Andrew couldn’t sit still. Shortly after, his phone rang. Upon seeing that it was an unfamiliar number but with a domestic area code, he answered out of curiosity. As soon as the call got through, he heard Aaron’s voice on the other end.
“Dad, do you have a moment?” Steven was surprised a little before replying, “Yes. What’s the
matter?”
Aaron stated helplessly. “Well, there’s indeed something. You see, Andrew just came to me and Luca, asking us to accompany him in taking care of Jo. But we’re currently filming a live variety show. Plus, we had some conflicts with Jo before, so it’s inconvenient for us to go. Yet, Andrew kept insisting. So, we have no choice but to come to you.”
Then, he intentionally added, “Didn’t you take Andrew away before? How did he end up in Slovance?”
Steven’s face darkened, for he hadn’t expected Andrew, who claimed to be going to nearby attractions to relax, to actually fly to Slovance.
Andrew obviously had gone to find Jodie!
Furthermore, not only did he go to take care of her himself, but he also dragged his other two brothers. into it. It’s simply outrageous!
“He had gone to the hospital to look after Jodie?” he asked.
With that, Aaron replied, “Yeah. He said he came specifically to take care of Jo. He even scolded Luca and me, blaming us for not taking good care of Jo and saying that we were too heartless.”
He wasn’t exaggerating, though. Those were all words spoken by Andrew.
Upon hearing that, Steven frowned and asked, “Does he not know what happened a few days ago?” He had been busy and hadn’t informed Andrew about it.
Luca chimed in, “He knows. Jo told him everything. But he believes she is innocent and blames us for being heartless and going too far.”
If we don’t betray Andrew, who else can we betray? Serves him right for gloating at us and blaming us as soon as he arrived!
Steven’s face grew even darker. “This sem! I can’t believe he couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. Why doesn’t he show the same concern for his biological sister? It’s clear that Simone

is the victim, but he goes to comfort and takes care of the perpetrator.”
Luca sighed. “Exactly. He even blamed me, too.”
Sure enough, Steven couldn’t let Andrew continue like this.
It’s because I hadn’t properly cared for my sons before that each of them was getting manipulated by Jodie now.
“Keep an eye on Andrew. If he picks on Simone because of Jodie, I want you two to intervene quickly and drag him away,” he instructed.
Then, he emphasized, “I will send someone to Slovance tomorrow to bring him and Jodie back together.”
To prevent Jodie from instigating Andrew and causing any trouble, Steven figured it would be safer to bring them both back to Corynthea.
“Okay, Dad.”
Upon hearing that, Aaron and Luca breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Dad won’t let us down.
Right now, we can only pray and hope for the best for Andrew.
After hanging up the phone, Steven pondered momentarily before contacting Salma.
He informed her about Andrew deceiving his secretary and secretly going to Slovance to find Jodie.
He asked Salma to personally go to Slovance tomorrow with his assistant and bring the two of them back.
Once Jodie returned, Salma was to keep a close eye on her and prevent her from causing any trouble.
As for Andrew, Steven would deal with him when he returned.
Salma didn’t expect that Jodie would ask Andrew to sneak off to Slovance after she contacted Melinda.
Hence, she was particularly unhappy and didn’t want to go.
But since her husband insisted, she couldn’t refuse and could only agree.
At the same time, she was even more disappointed in Jodie and couldn’t help but feel a
dislike for her.
I must teach Jodie a lesson once I have brought her and Andrew back with me.
In the hospital, Jodie was disappointed when she saw Andrew return to the ward alone.
Andrew walked to her bedside, sat down, and replied, “No. Aaron has a stomachache, while Luca has a sore throat. So, they couldn’t come today. They promised me that they will surely come to see you tomorrow.”
Why does Luca want Andrew to replace him? Is he implying that he doesn’t want to appear on the variety show with me? How can a grown man like him be so petty?
His words touched Jodie a little. As expected, Andrew cares about me the most.
However, because he was tired from the day, he fell asleep while contemplating it.
