Chapter 770 - Why? (2/2)

Before Michael could say, Andrew interjected, ”I would've never done this, in fact, we were already making plans to take you guys down but I cannot harm you guys.”

”Why not? You were already planning it so how hard is it?” Liang snapped.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew answered, ”I cannot tell you that.”

”Why? If you have decided to tell us the truth and help us take Lawrence down, why can't you tell us the entire thing?” Liang retorted, the trust issues he had with Andrew had intensified after he suddenly decided to confess everything.

”I agree with brother Liang, there must be a reason behind it and it's right for you to tell us,” Yinhai added.

Looking at Andrew who was quietly listening, Michael decided to jump to his rescue. ”Listen Zian, Zixin and Huang, I don't wanna include Liang because we all know he has a thing with Andrew but you three are sensible people so please understand—”

Cutting Michael off, Huang asked, ”How do you expect us to trust you when we know that you people were against us? What happened that you suddenly decided to tell us everything?”

”Because I love Linyang.” Balling his hand into a fist, Andrew snapped harder, ”I love her okay? And I don't want to lose her forever by going against you guys for a person who isnt even important to me. Do you people think that I care about you all? No I don't, in fact, I never had the intention of involving myself in this mess but I am doing this only for her.”

”You what?” Liang shouted, he couldn't believe what he had just heard. How could his sister have anything to do with the man he hated the most?

Zian raised his brows and inquired, ”You and Linyang? Do you guys have a thing?”

Michael awkwardly cleared his throat and said, ”They might have something in between but it's very complicated now.”

”Are you trying to tell me that my sister is in love with this man? Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g kiding me?” Liang retorted.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew explained, ”Look, I don't care whether you people believe me or not because the only person I care about doesn't want to see me ever again, she hates me. I don't know if this will ever fix anything but I still wanted to do this only for her.” Pausing for a while, he added, ”The feeling of losing someone you love is awful and her absence is killing me to the point that I don't care about myself anymore. I mean, what is the use of having all the money and power when the person you love doesn't want you anymore?”

Getting up, he continued, ”I just miss her so badly that I don't know what I am doing anymore but one thing that I am very sure of is that I'll do anything to gain her trust and love again. I just want to be with her and—” stopping mid-way, he wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes and grabbed his coat.

”I'll wait for you outside Michael.” without waiting for anyone's reply, he walked out of the room.

After a few seconds, Ashton frowned and inquired, ”Is there something wrong with my eyes or was he really crying?”

”He was and it's not just today, Andrew has been like this since the day Linyang left him,” Michael explained.
