Andrew’s behavior had me convinced that indeed something had happened.

However, since he wasn’t willing to talk about it, I let it go.
Besides, it wasn’t the right time to talk about it with Veronica and Shirley present.
“Alright,” I simply said.

However, the doubt in my heart still held firm, scratching at me like a pin in my cloth.

daughter.
Seeing that there was no more fun to be had, the spectators who had gathered out of curiosity soon began to disperse.
“I’m sorry.” Once everything had settled down, Andrew faced me. Deep regret was painted on his face. “I was engaged in a conversation with a friend earlier, causing me to not notice what was going on. As a result of that, I couldn’t come over in time to stop Shirley from hurting you. I’m sorry, Debra. This was all caused by my lack of oversight.”
I quickly waved off his apology. “This isn’t your fault. Don’t worry about it. This isn’t the first time that Shirley has attacked me. Besides, you arrived just in time to block her attack, didn’t you?”
Andrew sighed. “I still feel bad about it.” He sighed again, but this time it blended with the music playing in the background.
“It’s okay,” I said reassuringly.
There was then an awkward silence, as neither of us knew what to say.
A flurry of thoughts ran through my head as I watched the guests mingle. Eventually, I couldn’t contain my curiosity any longer, and I asked, “Mr. Pierce, what was the meaning of what Shirley just said? Why do I feel like it has something to do with you?”
Andrew smiled and answered, “Yes, it does have something to do with me.”
I knew trouble was brewing upon seeing his reaction.
Carefully, I asked, “Do you not wish to do what Shirley wants you to do?”
“Your guess is right. But I do not know how to refuse her,” Andrew replied.
This confirmed my suspicions. No wonder he looked troubled.
As the deputy clan leader and Shirley’s childhood friend, it would be difficult for him to refuse her if she pressured him using her status.
Attempting to sympathize with him, I said, “Is there anything I could do to help?”
Andrew stared deeply at me. His eyes lit up immediately, and he said, “Yes, there is. However, I need to know if you’re willing to offend Veronica for my sake.”
I was taken aback by his statement.
Offend Veronica?
