Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053:

Andrew glanced at her, his gaze catching the faint redness on her arm. His concern rose as he wondered if there were other injuries hidden beneath her clothes. His dark eyes flared with anger as he drove his foot into Alan, who was attempting to rise, sending him crashing back to the floor.

“You dared to lay a hand on her?”

Andrew’s piercing gaze locked onto Alan, radiating an intense aura of intimidation that seemed to crush any resistance.

Alan’s family was less powerful than the Vettel family. During Andrew’s visit to Mafelen this time, Alan’s family had discussed potential partnerships with him. At that time, Alan had been standing behind his father the entire time, barely more than a shadow in the background. Alan recognized Andrew immediately and realized he had crossed the wrong person. Panic swept across his face, and the arrogance that had once filled him evaporated in an instant. He frantically pleaded with Andrew for forgiveness.

“Mr. Klein, I am truly sorry…”

Andrew’s icy gaze remained unchanged as he pulled out his phone and dialed Alan’s dad.

Alan’s father arrived at the restaurant soon after. When he heard what Alan had done, his fury flared, and he raised his cane, ready to strike him. To ensure the collaboration didn’t fall through, Alan’s father punished him even more harshly than Andrew had.

Alan’s crying made Albertine’s posture relax in a way that hinted at relief. Then, her eyes shifted to the man beside Madisyn. She didn’t recognize Andrew, but she noticed he merely made a phone call and helped Dr. Mia vent her anger without causing a rift with Alan’s father. This really took Albertine by surprise. Fear crept in as she realized that after Andrew dealt with Alan, he might turn his attention to her. After all, she was the one who had put Dr. Mia in danger.

However, her fears didn’t come true. After Alan was taken away by his father, Andrew gently took Madisyn’s hand and led her to their table. Madisyn then invited Albertine to join them.

Albertine lowered her head and carefully ordered her food, a stark contrast to the carefree attitude she had shown when first meeting Madisyn.

Madisyn waited until Albertine was finished before gently asking, “Albertine, could you tell me why Alan dared to force you? After all, you’re a member of the Vettel family. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine.”

Madisyn’s calm, gentle tone didn’t provoke any resistance from Albertine. Since she had saved her tonight, it seemed only natural for Madisyn to be curious. Albertine lifted her head, offering a somewhat awkward smile.

“Actually, I’m just an illegitimate child my father brought home. I didn’t grow up with the family, but because I share their blood, I’m expected to contribute. Alan, though, is much scarier than anyone I’ve dealt with before. I’m really scared of him.”

Albertine’s brief explanation helped Madisyn understand the situation, but it still seemed hard to believe. Even though Albertine was an illegitimate child, she shouldn’t have been treated as an object that could be handed over to anyone.
