Chaptér 261 It immediately dawned on Andrew that Cedric must have made the detox pill.

Such medication.

was not particularly rare, as anyone with decent knowledge of traditional medicine could create it.

So why did you pretend to still be drunk when you were actually sober? Andrew asked, giving Francesca a curious look.

Her face turned an even deeper shade of red as she kept her head down, staying silent.

After a long moment, she finally admitted with embarrassment, I wanted you to ... takehome.

Worried that Andrew might misunderstand, she quickly explained, Its not what you might think.

I just felt that it wouldnt be safe for a woman to go halone after drinking.

Since you were already taking Lauren home, I thought could just tag along ! Andrew chuckled and said, I wasnt thinking anything else.

Since you both had been drinking, I wouldve made sure to get you both hsafely anyway.

Well, you know what happened after that, Francesca continued.

As soon as you left after droppingoff, Simon snuck in.

I was terrified and angry, to be honest.

If you hadnt cback in time, I wouldnt know what to do.

Andrew responded, Since you were conscious the whole tand that monster tried to assault you, why didnt you fight back and report him to Dr.

Aicker ? Francesca shook her head and said, If only it were that simple.

Ive been holding back because Simon is my senior apprentice and Grandpas first disciple.

Andrew raised an eyebrow and asked, Are you afraid of your grandfather finding out about Simons attempted assault? Francesca sighed.

Im not exactly afraid, but Id rather keep this shameful incident within the family.

Grandpa values reputation highly, and Simon is his prized student.

If I exposed- Simons true nature, it would bring shto the Aicker family, and I fear it might create a rift between them that could tear our family apart.

Andrew scoffed, Simon is just Dr.

Aickers apprentice.

Does he think hes untouchable? Over the years, Grandpa has handed over many of the Aicker familys affairs to Simon, Francesca explained with a bitter smile.

She added, Simons influence in the family is second only to Grandpas, even surpassing mine.

Thats why Ive been enduring his advances to prevent internal conflict within the family.

So whats your plan? Andrew asked.

Are you going to keep tolerating this forever? Francesca took a deep breath and stated firmly, Of course not. When the opportunity arises, Ill be direct with Simon and tell him I dont have feelings for him and never will. He needs to 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 261 move on.

Andrew shook his head and warned, He doesnt seem like someone who would back down easily.

When he cant get what he wants, he might act out of spite.

Even if he does, I wont force myself to accept him, Francesca declared.

I used to see him as a brother, but his behavior has becincreasingly inappropriate. Now, he just disgusts me.

Andrew stood up and said, Its getting late, and I should head back.

Get srest, and dont hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

Francesca smiled.

Thank you for coming back to savetonight.

Andrew dismissed her thanks with a wave and quickly left the Aicker residence.

He could understand Francescas predicament somewhat.

After all, he knew well that old families like that valued their om reputation above all else and feared public scandal.

Nevertheless, in Andrews opinion, Simon needed to be eliminated m sooner rather than later, as there was no saying what he might do later . It was better to be safe than sorry, no matter how -promising Simons talent was.
