“Is Jeffrey resting, or is he with Rebecca?” Andrea thought about the message on her phone, and her feelings got
out of control.
Jeffrey had agreed with Andrea to give Rebecca a hard time, but now he was favoring Rebecca in everything.
Gregory remained expressionless, his tone all business. “Mr. Hanson's private life is not for an assistant like me
to ask about.”
Andrea looked at him. She knew he was lying.
Everyone in Jelasburg knew Gregory was Jeffrey’s right-hand man. He had been by Jeffrey's side even before
Jeffrey took over the Hanson Group. He knew Jeffrey's daily plans inside out.
“Can you helpcontact him?” Andrea suppressed her emotions, not confronting Gregory directly.
Gregory took out his phone and dialed Jeffrey’s number in front of her.
The sautomated voice cthrough. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
Afraid she wouldn't hear, he put it on speaker. “Mr. Hanson switched off his phone.”
Andrea was speechless. Of course she knew it was switched off.
“When he turns his phone on, tell him I've been discharged.” Andrea pulled out the IV needle, threw off the
covers, and started to get out of bed. “I don’t like being alone in the hospital.”
Gregory reached out his arm and blocked her. “Mr. Hanson orderedto watch over you.”
Then he called the nurse to put the IV needle back in.
Andrea wanted to refuse, but hesitated when she saw Gregory's unreadable expression.
A gut feeling warned her that if she refused, he wouldn't hesitate to have someone restrain her and force the
needle in. And if she pulled it out, he'd just have it put right back in again and again.
At this thought, Andrea suddenly felt unsure.
Seeing her cooperate quietly without trouble, Gregory felt relieved. ‘Mr. Garcia's trick worked,” he thought.
Jeffrey was still asleep, and he didn’t know what was going on with Andrea. He held Rebecca the whole time,
sleeping for hours.
Rebecca tried every trick, but couldn't escape. She didn’t dare bite him to get free; if she did, she was sure he
might do something improper.
With their difference in strength, she didn’t dare risk it.

Feeling Rebecca in his arms, he realized it wasn’t a dream. He wanted to sleep more, but stopped himself when
he saw it was getting dark.
He knew Rebecca and Samuel needed to have dinner now.
“Now that you're awake, letgo.” Rebecca felt his grip loosening.
Jeffrey wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close. He buried his face in her neck and kissed her behind
the ear, his warm breath sending little chills down her spine.
She turned, ready to hit him. But his grip was too strong, giving her little room to move.
She reached out, placed her hand on his thigh, and pinched him hard.
“Why are you pinching me?” Jeffrey’s voice was deep and low from waking up. “You've slept in my arms for so
long. Don’t | deserve a kiss?”
Rebecca snapped, “Don’t you have any shame? If you hadn’t helddown, would | be stuck here?”
“Did | grab you?” Jeffrey replied.
Rebecca braced herself and tried to shove him off. “Didn’t you...”
Before she could finish, she found herself slipping out of his arms.
Jeffrey's sharp eyes watched her coldly, as if he was silently accusing her of being the one clinging to him.
Fists clenched in anger, Rebecca threw off the covers and stood up. When she stepped over him, she stomped
hard on his thigh.
Jeffrey frowned in pain.
Not satisfied, she ground her foot down harder.
Jeffrey’s strong hand grabbed her ankle.
Rebecca instinctively tried to pull free. After a few failed attempts, she just let him have it for a moment. Then
she quickly lifted her other foot and stomped toward his crotch.
The fury in her eyes and that sharp, merciless move sent Jeffrey a crystal-clear message-if she really followed
through, he'd be done for.
He quickly let go of her ankle and shifted his stance.
Rebecca's foot landed on the bed with a muffled thud.
Jeffrey stared at her beautiful foot for a second. Then his unreadable gaze shifted to her angry face.
‘Damn, she really didn’t hold back with that kick, Jeffrey thought.

“What are you staring at?” Rebecca felt uneasy under his gaze but stayed calm. “Serves you right for grabbing
Jeffrey said nothing. He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and left the bedroom.
The calmer he seemed, the more anxious Rebecca felt. Usually, this meant he was planning revenge.
“Besides, this is my house,” Rebecca argued, trying to put Jeffrey in the wrong. “You cin without permission.
That's trespassing and illegal.”
Jeffrey stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Rebecca's heart raced, but she kept a straight face. “Am | wrong?”
“If you think you're right,” Jeffrey said calmly, his voice intimidating, “then why are you afraid?”
Rebecca pursed her lips.
Jeffrey spoke slowly, “Want to call the police?”

Calling the police would only put her at a disadvantage again. It wouldn't do her any real good.
“If you're not calling, geta glass of water,” Jeffrey demanded without the slightest hint of courtesy.
Rebecca knew she'd lost this round. “We don’t have water here,” she shot back.

He didn’t check them. Instead, he sent a quick text to have dinner delivered.
Not long after, his bodyguard appeared at the door with a nutritious and tasty meal.
Jeffrey went to Samuel’s room and called him out to eat, making himself right at home.
“Victor will cto pick you up tomorrow morning,” Jeffrey said to Samuel, his tone serious. “You'll be staying at
your mom’s manor for the next few days.”
Samuel looked over at Rebecca.
Before Rebecca could speak, Jeffrey said, “Your mom has work at the company. She'll pick you up after she’s

Just as he was about to spend more twith Samuel, a message from Gregory popped up on his phone: [Mr.
Hanson, are you up?]
Jeffrey typed back a quick reply: [Yes.]
As soon as the message was sent, Gregory called immediately.
After glancing at Rebecca and Samuel, Jeffrey walked to the balcony, swiped to answer, and asked in a steady
voice, “What's wrong?”
“Ms. Scott somehow found out you were at Ms. Jensen's place,” Gregory said honestly. “She’s a bit upset and
hasn't eaten all afternoon.”
Jeffrey's eyes darkened as he replied, “Got it.”
