Chapter 228 Just Take Him Down

That night, Luca and Aaron pleaded with Steven.

Firstly, they felt sympathetic toward Andrew and were afraid that he would hurt his knees and be unable to participate in the show. Secondly, they wanted to test Jodie.

However, their pleas were rejected, and Steven scolded them. Furthermore, Steven. instructed them to go out and kneel with Andrew. Luca and Aaron felt like crying.

They were pleading for someone else, but they ended up being punished. Both of them looked at Jodie. Jodie hadn’t expected Steven to be so angry this time. Even the ones who pleaded were being punished together.

She had always been afraid of Steven, and now she didn’t dare to speak up and plead. She was afraid of being blamed and disliked by Steven. After all, he was the head of the family, so she still had to please him.

She could only give Luca and Aaron an expression of helplessness and apology. Luca and Aaron were completely defeated this time. Titus was right. Besides making empty promises, Jodie was insincere in everything else.

Under the supervision of the butler, the two of them went to kneel at the door together. Andrew had already been kneeling, and his legs didn’t feel like his own anymore. Seeing the two of them being punished together, he couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude. He uttered, “You’re being punished too? You deserve it.”

Seeing his response, Luca couldn’t help but say angrily, “We’re punished because of you. We pleaded with Dad for your sake, but not only were we scolded, we’re also getting the punishment.” Aaron added, “That’s right. You even have the nerve to laugh. We’re punished because of you.”

Andrew was surprised. He didn’t expect them to suddenly show brotherly affection. It was rare. He uttered, “Then, kneel with me. I can’t stand it anymore by myself.”

Luca and Aaron were speechless. They shouldn’t have sympathized with him in the first place. The three of them talked while kneeling. Although Luca and Aaron didn’t mention anything about Jodie having a problem, they guided Andrew to think that she was just making empty promises.

Luca couldn’t help but point it out. Andrew retorted, saying that if there was any resentment, it should be directed at him and not Jodie. How could she, a girl with broken hands and legs, accompany them? Instead, he lectured Luca and Aaron. He
