Chapter 172
“Full control Rebecca asked, taking over the tablet.
dictor replied with his usual polite smile, “Yes”
Rebecca tapped and swiped on the screen. Aside from her, there were other names insted–Jeffrey, Andrea, Victor, and the household staff. Most of them only had access to go in and out of the main gate.
Rebecca scrolled to Jeffrey’s profile, but no matter how she searched, she couldn’t find any way to remove
him.
“Mr. Hanson was afraid you’d kick him out, so he made himself the second owner. You can delete anyone except him.” Victor explained quickly, unable to help but admire Jeffrey’s spot–on instincts.
Rebecca couldn’t help but think, I knew Jeffrey was scheming something/
“He said this place was supposed to be mine, Andrea blurted out, unable to hide her frustration. She just couldn’t bear that Rebecca was the owner. “Why does she get
“That’s a question for Mr. Hanson. I’m just the butler, Victor said, keeping his tone deliberately distant.
Rebecca scrolled to Andrea’s profile and, without a second thought, deleted her access to the main gate and
the villa
From now on, no one would open the door for Andrea. Even if she stood outside the gate shouting through a megaphone, Rebecca wouldn’t hear a thing
“Please escort Ms. Scott out, Rebecca said, handing the tablet back to Victor. She didn’t even bother to look at Andrea again. “If she causes a scene like this outside the gate again, have the bodyguards throw her out.”
Victor replied cheerfully, “Yes, Ms. Jensen.”
Rebecca turned her back and walked off, not even bothering to acknowledge Andrea
Andrea couldn’t stand Rebecca’s high–and–mighty attitude. She snapped. “You haven’t changed–still bossing people around like college days.”
“Apologies, Ms. Jensen, for making you listen to that nonsense, Victor said swiftly, and then ordered the nearby bodyguards, “Get her out of here.”
“Wait, Rebecca said, turning around.
Victor looked a bit puzzled, stopping short. “Ms. Jensen…”
Rebecca stepped right up to Andrea, staring her down.
“If I really wanted to throw my weight around, I’d have them pin you to the ground, make you beg me for forgiveness, then toss you out of Jelasburg, Rebecca said coolly. “That, Andrea, is real bullying. Catch my
drift?”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Andh ea snapped.
“Care to test me. Andrea Rebecca’s voice was cold and unflinching.

Andrea started to feel uneasy. Rebecca used to be all gentle and laid–back, but with the mess going on lately, she was unsure what Rebecca would actually
Tension peaked as a sleek black sedan pulled up Jeffrey stepped out, sharp in a crisp shirt and tailored His long legs looked even slimmer, and his eyes scammed the uneasy scene
The moment Jeffrey appeared, Andrea’s confidence shot up. She couldn’t help calling out, “Jeffrey
Jeffrey’s lips pressed into a thin line as he strode forward. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here for you,” Andrea said, marching right up to Jeffrey, her anger barely contained. “Rebecca just kicked me out. You said I was supposed to be the lady of this place.”
Jeffrey kept his voice cold and firm. “Whoever’s name is on the deed owns this house.”
Andrea snapped, “Fine, then put my name on it!”
Jeffrey’s eyes stayed locked on Andrea. “You sure about that?”
Andrea hesitated, suddenly realizing what he meant. If she took it, she’d be trading away the favor he owed her, and after that, they’d be done with each other.
Rebecca’s manor was in a class of its own. Jeffrey had spent hundreds of millions, sparing no expense. Every detail was perfect; even the lawn’s trees cost tens of thousands each.
“Ms. Jensen, would you like me to show her out?” Victor asked softly, breaking the tense silence.
“I’m done with you playing caretaker. Let’s change things, Andrea said before Rebecca could say anything. She laid her goal bare. “I want you to sleep with me–no protection, nothing between us. Make it real.”
Everyone on the spot, Victor, Tommy, Rebecca, and Barry, was stunned.
Rebecca’s eyes locked on Jeffrey, her mind racing. He’s always the honorable type, so how’s he gonna handle this? If he backs out now, everything he’s done would just be a joke.
“After this, we’re settled. No more favors, no interference,” Andrea declared, totally playing hardball. She knew she was crazy fertile and right in her ovulation window. Her odds were basically maxed out.
Andrea calculated, thinking, ‘If I set the no–interference rule now, even if I get pregnant, Jeffrey won’t force me to abort. He’s obsessed with keeping promises. Once the baby’s born, I can demand support.
“The courts won’t care about our deals. It all works for me. As for I pretending to be his benefactor, Jeffrey won’t catch on anytime soon.
‘And even if he does, once I have the child, he’ll think twice before coming after me, with the kid as leverage.
“So? What’s your answer?” Andrea demanded.

“My promise to you was to look after you, to keep you safe for life, Jeffrey replied, every word cool and precise. That doesn’t include sacrificing my body
Anger burned in Andrea’s chest. She wanted to fight back but drew a blank. When he vowed to protect her until she healed, he never slept with her, and that chance was long gone.
“If that’s all, I’ll have someone drive you home, Jeffrey said, unfazed.
Andrea burned with anger and shame. No one could endure this much humiliation. “Restore my access! What if something happens and I need to find you? I can’t be left out on the street.”
Determined to make things hard for Rebecca, she added, “Did you forget you promised to always take care of
“My wife has full authority over this house. Jeffrey replied, slow and unhurried. “It’s not my call.”
“Jeffrey!” Andrea snapped. She could tell he was just playing games with her.
“Enough. This is getting annoying. Rebecca said coldly to Victor. “Get her out of here.”
