Chapter 602
Andrew’s body tensed, but then he responded to her passionately. The two of them were locked in an embrace on the bed, their kisses seemingly inseparable,
However, he couldn’t admit to himself that her lips didn’t feel as right as Aubree’s.
Aubree. It had been ages since he had seen her. With that thought, Andrew’s desire waned, and he gently pushed Tessa away. “I think we should get the doctor to check on you again.”
Tessa mistook his concern for fear of hurting her and felt a sweet warmth in her heart. “Okay.”
Meanwhile, Aubree was left hanging after a disconnected call and seemed to lose all will to live. Tied up, she stared blankly at the ceiling. Tears no longer flowed. Her gaze was fixed on nothingness.
Adrian watched as three men began to unbuckle their belts, and with a camera set up, it seemed they were truly planning to rape Aubree.
A frown creased his brow. Today had been a mistake. He mistook the person for Brielle because they wore the same coat Brielle had worn. He had attacked from behind without properly identifying his target.
The security at Stellar Stage Entertainment was tight, and he hadn’t had time to check carefully. After all, this was his first time committing such a crime.
When he arrived here and found he’d been followed, he realized that three men of unknown origin clearly shared a singular purpose.
Adrian had intended to retaliate against Brielle, not drag an innocent woman into this mess. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late. When he saw the men undressing, his expression darkened. “What do you plan to do with her?”
The men, already unable to restrain themselves at the sight of Aubree’s beauty, found Adrian’s question amusing. “What’s this? You wanna join in? You’ll have to wait your turn. After we’ve had our fun, she’s all yours.”
Adrian, who had been sitting, stood up abruptly. “Are you here to get back at Brielle, or are you here for this woman?”
The leader smirked. “We’re helping you out, man. You saw us call Brielle. She’ll be here soon. Didn’t you say your girl got messed up because of Brielle? Well, here’s your chance to get back at Brielle herself. As for her best friend, we’ll take care of her.”
Adrian glanced at Aubree, bound at the wrists and ankles, and for some reason, perhaps struck by the despair on her face, he hesitated to agree. He had never been part of something like this. His confrontation at Stellar Stage Entertainment had been a spur–of–the–moment act.
Now, seeing the menacing looks on these three men, he knew they were not to be trifled with. Moreover, even if Brielle deserved a dire fate, her best friend was innocent. He stepped
forward, reaching to untie Aubree’s restraints. “Let’s call it off. Save this for Brielle. This

woman is innocent. As soon as Brielle arrives, we’ll let her go.”
The men thought they were hearing a joke, but Adrian seemed serious. He bent over and earnestly began to release Aubree’s legs. Before he could stand up, a heavy kick landed on his chest, sending him flying a meter away, coughing up blood.
He looked up at the men, who seemed annoyed, disdain in their eyes. “Looks like your little girlfriend got what she deserved. How could such a spineless boyfriend protect her. You better go check if she was forced or if she went willingly.”
Adrian, already regretting his decision to bring Aubree into this, felt his face flush with rage and humiliation. “Don’t you dare talk about Sydney like that!”
Sydney was the kindest girl he’d ever met, and she’d been with him through thick and thin over the years. They were about to get married, but because of Brielle, Sydney had suffered so much. He would never forgive Brielle.
However, if he let these men treat Aubree this way, how would he be any different from the man who hurt Sydney?
“Cough, cough.” He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up from the ground. “Like I said, if you treat Brielle like this, I won’t stop you. But this woman is truly innocent.”
‘Fuck! You asking for it?!”
‘Lost your mojo? How about we take you out first?!”
