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 tell me he'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 , I wonder if you have time now . Mr. Hawthorne sent me to bring you to the Hawthorne Mansion . " Lucas wanted to see Sloane and h 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 stayed locked on Sloane , as if she wanted to burn holes through her . 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 some penniless 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 become the 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 some random 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 , let me show you the gift I 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 ." " Come in , " came Lucas ' calm , cool voice from inside . Sloane walked in and saw him seated in a wheelchair , back to her , staring out the window , deep in thought . P P Sloane didn't flinch . She walked straight up to him , reached out , and gently tilted his chin up . Her beautiful eyes locked on his with unwavering focus . Lucas hadn't expected her to be so bold . Surprise flickered in his eyes for a brief second - but he quickly returned to his usual calm , unshaken self , just sitting there quietly , letting her do as she pleased .
