NovelMegaChapter 1084.
Andrew raised his knee, blocking her incoming strike with ease.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he threw a punch without hesitation.
The air itself trembled, bursting with a sound like a roar.
Tiana's face twisted in sheer terror.
It felt like an ancient beasta primal forcewas crashing down on her, unstoppable and overwhelming.
It was like a helpless insect facing a natural disaster.
With a sickening crack, blood filled her mouth and splattered across her chest and blouse.
The dagger in her hand snapped, leaving only the hilt as she was thrown violently backward, crashing onto the stone path of the garden.
Andrew strode over with a cold, unreadable expression, towering over her.
"Talk.
Giveone good reason not to kill you right now." Tiana tossed aside the broken hilt and wiped the blood from her lips.
To his surprise, she actually laughed "Impressive.
Seriously, that was incredible.
Go ahead.
If you want to kill me, then do it.

"Make it count.
It better be a reason worth sparing your life.
Tiana smiled bitterly.
"There's no other reason.
I did it because I'm ---- terrified of what you are.
I'm afraid you might drag Lauren and Jameson into your mess.
So, I had to get rid of you." Andrew frowned.
"Then what was all that earlier, in front of Lauren and Mr.
Rhodes? What was the point of those kind words? I already told you I'd handle the Driscolls myself, didn't 1?" Tiana scoffed.
"That was all just to trick you.
Andrew, you're smart, but even you fell for something so simple? Yes, you beat Aidan.
You're stronger thanby far.
But against the Driscolls, you're still way outmatched.
That gap is massivenearly impossible to close.
"However, you're not in a place where you can say you're unafraid of the Five Apex Families, are you? So, I pretended to believe in you.
I gave you my approval, just to get Lauren and Jameson out of the way." she added, "But deep down? I still didn't think you were enough.
It's ashI failed.
If I had succeeded, the Rhodes family would've been in the clear.
Once Lauren married Joe, we'd be sitting prettyno worries, no threats.
Just wealth, power, and peace." Andrew's blow earlier had been brutal, enough to take down a rampaging bull.
After speaking so much, her internal injuries flared up again, and she coughed up more blood.
Andrew hesitated, unable to finish her off.
He thought this woman.
---- was a walking headache.
From the moment they met in Jayrodale, she had tested every inch of his patience.
Even someone like Aidan, who once acted untouchable, had nearly fallen for her trick.
In fact, Tiana was the first woman Andrew truly found difficult to handle.
"For Lauren's sake, no matter how angry I get...
I won't kill you." With a cold stare, Andrew crouched beside her.
"Con, I'll take you back.
The Rhodes family can treat your injuries." Tiana winced in pain.
"Your punch did a number on me.

Just pickup." Andrew did not think she would try to pull the strick again, so he reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.
However, just as he did, she summoned strength out of nowhere, grabbed the front of his shirt with both hands and then yanked hard.
With a loud rip, Andrew's designer suitworth more than a month's rent for most peoplewas torn right off.
His shirt was shredded with it, leaving his upper body completely exposed.
Andrew's expression twisted in fury.
"Tiana! Have you lost your damn mind?!" Yet, she did not respond.
Her eyes widened in a mix of awe and eerie satisfaction, fixed on the center of his bare chest. She gasped, "I knew it...
I knew it! You're from the Lloyd family from Chetvine.
Not just amemberyou're the last direct heir.
You're the Dragon Prince...
"That totem on your chest is called the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon, and it's one of a kind.
It exists nowhere else.
That man had exactly the stotemno difference at all." She muttered like she was in a trance, her arms suddenly wrapping around Andrew's exposed torso in a tight, desperate hug.
Oh hell no!' That was the only thought that blasted into Andrew's mind.
He immediately pried her arms off with force.
There he was, standing shirtless before this womana flirtatious, manipulative, still-stunning cougar who was clinging to him like a lovesick teen.
