Harold still wanted to press for what the Cunningham family's next move would be, but Mateo clearly did not want to talk further and abruptly hung up the phone.
Harold exhaled heavily and muttered, "At least the Cunningham family knows about it now. Whether Andrew continues his rampage or the Cunningham family acts, none of it will involve the Knowles family anymore."
Relief washed over him, though deep inside, he felt exhausted. He had originally wanted to curry favor with the Cunningham family, which was why he had hosted their assassins inside the Knowles estate.
However, the moment Andrew killed Hakeem and Hugo, Harold's thinking changed completely.
The Cunningham family might be a towering giant who could afford to lose a man or two, but Andrew was just as dangerous, a raging force that could crush the Knowles family without effort. Neither side could be provoked.
The best choice was to make his stance clear, then step away entirely before getting dragged deeper.
…
The next morning, Andrew did not linger. He set off north toward Chetvine, and this time, he brought Natasha with him. After what happened between them, it was only natural for her to follow. Besides, Chetvine had always been one of their planned stops anyway.
Chantelle had wanted to go as well, but her work in Blumedale could not wait. Derek was expecting her return, and duty had to come first. So, with no other choice, she parted ways with Andrew.
At the moment of departure, there was naturally some romantic action between them. Chantelle was quite bold, directly hugging Andrew and kissing him on the lips for quite a while.
Only then did she return to the Garcia residence satisfied, pack her things, and head back to Gabo Creek Province. She also promised that as soon as she had time, she would come to Chetvine with Lauren and the others to see Andrew.
That left Andrew traveling with only Natasha at his side.
"Darling, I want a kiss too, just like Chantelle." Natasha pouted once they boarded the plane, pointing to her lips.
