Chapter 179: Don’t be so Stubborn

Avery shakes her head in horror. She looks down at Andrew and wonders how he can look so calm although she doesn't know for sure that Charles' heartbeats in Andrew's chest, she heartbeats to take the risk.

Andrew's bodyguards pull their guns from their holsters and point them at Evan. Evan's men draw their pistols and point them at Andrew's men. They look evenly matched, and Avery doesn't know who will win. Either way, one thing's for sure, the battle will be bloody.

"Are you afraid?" Evan asks. "Or you just don't want to hurt your precious Andrew?"            

Avery's face pales, and she subconsciously draws her hand back. She can see the disappointment in Evan's eyes.

"If you're afraid, I can help you," Evan said, raising his gun toward Andrew.

"No!" she screams, rushing in front of Andrew and shielding his body with her own. "Evan, I beg you, don't do this."

"No?" Evan asks, "Why not?"
