Chapter 566
Andrew was still reeling from the unexpected call when Max's voice came
through the line. “Max?” Suspicion flickered through his mind. Could someone be
playing a prank with Max's phone?
“Andrew, Aubree got plastered.”
Andrew pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling Tessa stir in his arms. He'd
thought he'd awakened her and gently patted her back to soothe her.
“I'm aware, but didn’t Brielle go to look after her? Tessa is feeling under the
weather, and I need to stay here and take care of her.”
Tessa, now fully awake, snuggled closer. “Who's calling?”
“Max.”
Anger flared in Tessa’s eyes at the mention of Aubree’s name. Why was Max
calling about that tramp? She fumed internally, thinking it was high time to talk to
Andrew's mum about marrying Aubree off and out of their lives.
Max, picking up on Tessa’s voice, understood the implications. It was late; they
were obviously sharing a bed.
“If you're not fond of Aubree, I can arrange an overseas position for her. She can
start fresh there,” Max suggested, his voice floating like mist.
Andrew's reaction was instantaneous, leaping out of bed as if scalded. “What do
you mean?” His tone turned icy, his eyes blazing with anger.
But Max remained calm, unperturbed. “She’s alone here, and with Brielle so
busy, there's no one to look after her. Abroad, she can meet new people and
make new friends.”
Andrew's temper flared. “Can you stop interfering? She's a Clements, for
heaven's sake. Any move she makes needs parental approval. As her brother, I-"
He cut himself off, painfully aware of the truth they both knew. Ever since that
forbidden moment at eighteen, they were no longer just siblings.
Max hung up, ignoring Andrew's rage.
Andrew felt a fire within him, his temper boiling over. He grabbed his jacket,
ready to storm out, but Tessa’s arms wrapped around his waist, holding him
back. “Stay with me, please? Andrew, I don’t want you to leave because of
Aubree. Would you really abandon me over her? I thought I was the one who
mattered most to you.”
Andrew stiffened, his features a mask of conflict. Tessa’s pleading eyes softened
him. He pulled out his phone and fired off a message to Max. [Aubree stays in
Beaconsfield. If you whisk her away without consent, this brotherhood is over.]

Max didn't bother checking the message, settling down to watch as Brielle
continued to care for Aubree. He didn't want Brielle to overextend herself; she
was already swamped. Now she had to deal with a friend's troubles, troubles
caused by another man’s actions.
Brielle tucked Aubree in, worried she might retch again. She glanced at Max,
seated on the sofa, and sighed, “I'll stay here tonight. You should head back. You
have a meeting in a couple of hours. I'll head straight to Premier Palace to
change, then head off to the office. I need to check on the reforms we
implemented and discuss resources with the directors. Plus, we need to front
some cash.”
With the company’s finances in the red, she had to figure out how to engage with
prominent directors.
