Andrew was Lucas’ right-hand man. He usually stayed close by his side, and almost no one in Stonebridge’s
business world didn’t recognize him.
Just like people often said, “Even the lowest-ranking official at the top holds real power.” Even though he was
just an assistant, no one dared to underestimate Andrew.
“What is Mr. Andrew doing here at this time?“. Conrad asked, puzzled.
“Don’t tellhe’s here to call off the engagement?” Samantha muttered under her breath-but just loud enough
for everyone around to hear.
Boone and Conrad exchanged a look, clearly ready for a show. “Let him in.”
Soon, Andrew walked inside. Conrad hurried to greet him. “Mr. Andrew, what brings you here in person today? Is
there something you need to say?”
“Exactly, no need to hold back-just say it,” Boone added eagerly, practically itching to see Sloane thrown into
the mud.
Andrew glanced at the two with a strange look, then brushed past them and stopped in front of Sloane. His tone
was respectful. “Ms. Rivers, | wonder if you have tnow. Mr. Hawthorne sentto bring you to the
Hawthorne Mansion.”
Lucas wanted to see Sloane and he'd sent his most trusted aide to personally fetch
her!
Samantha's jealousy spiked so sharply she cracked her own fingernail, not even noticing the pain. Her eyes

Just moments ago, Conrad and Boone had been mocking Sloane, and now they were the ones slapped in the
face.
Sloane stood up slowly. “I've got time. Let's go.”
She couldn't be bothered to deal with these three lunatics anymore, and headed straight for the door.

Andrew had sensed something was off the moment he walked in. Now, without sparing another glance at the
trio, he followed Sloane out.
Boone, furious, kicked over a nearby chair. His face twisted with rage. “What kind of witchcraft did Sloane use to
make Lucas treat her differently?”
Conrad wasn’t convinced. “I don’t know. Maybe Lucas called her over just to call off the engagement.”
“True. Lucas can have any beauty he wants. Why would he go for spenniless nobody like her?” Boone's
expression relaxed slightly.
Samantha stood off to the side, a sharp pain stinging where her nail had broken- but it was nothing compared to
the jealousy and hatred burning inside her.
“Boone, Conrad, you two have to help Sloane,” Samantha cried, furrowing her brows as tears rolled down. “If
Lucas really breaks off the engagement, what's going to happen to her?”
“That'd be the best outcome. She'd becthe laughingstock of all Stonebridge. And no one would dare marry
a woman dumped by Lucas. She'd have to go back to the countryside and marry srandom farmer.”
Conrad could already picture the day and chuckled darkly. “Serves her right.”
“Forget about her, Sammy.” Boone gently draped an arm around Samantha's shoulders and led her out. “Come
on, letshow you the gift | brought you.”
With Andrew by her side this time, Sloane entered the Hawthorne Mansion without any trouble. But Lucas no
longer lived in the main house. He'd moved to a secluded courtyard.
Andrew stepped forward and knocked lightly. “Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Rivers is here.”
“Cin,” cLucas’ calm, cool voice from inside.
Sloane walked in and saw him seated
