Chapter 689 Brother
Fortunately, Chandler treated her well. Even though his own life was tough, after joining the police academy, he still sent her money regularly and encouraged her to finish her studies. She was like someone who had fallen to the bottom of a well, desperately tilting her head up, trying to grasp that tiny glimmer of light at the top. So she clung to Chandler with all her might, hoping to crawl inch by inch out of the darkness. To outsiders, she was a talented music graduate, but no one knew just how difficult this path had been for her over the years.
Rachel had developed a deep emotional dependence on Chandler. It was a kind of possessiveness that she couldn’t even explain to herself. When a man who had always taken care of her suddenly wanted to draw clear boundaries because of another woman, Rachel naturally couldn’t accept it. Chandler was her beacon out of the darkness. She had worked so hard to get closer to that light, but one day, without warning, that light at the top of the well suddenly went dark. She lost her way, felt terrified, and didn’t know what to do. She never truly wanted to hurt Meryl. Everything she did was just to get Chandler’s attention, hoping he would spare just a little more of it for her. Even she couldn’t tell if this could really be called love. Rachel stared helplessly at the ceiling, feeling her whole world going dark. She had just graduated from college. Her life was supposed to be just beginning. But now, all she could see ahead was endless despair. Why? Why were these people doing this to her? She had never done anything to harm them!
Rachel’s hands clenched into tight fists, but she couldn’t stop the intense pain wracking her body. During the kidney removal, she had passed out several times from the agony. These criminals had nearly killed her. Rachel’s face was ashen. At that moment, Daniel walked over with a smirk. Seeing Rachel sprawled on the operating table like a limp rag, barely alive, his smile turned sinister. He threw a bottle of water in her face, jolting her back to consciousness from her pain-induced stupor.
Chapter 689 Brother “Well, beautiful, how are you feeling? That doctor did a clean job, didn’t he? I made sure to tell him to be gentle since you’re a girl and probably never experienced pain like this before.”
Rachel’s mouth was filled with blood. Her eyes moved sluggishly, and when they finally focused on Daniel, they were filled with tears and pure hatred. She was so weak now that she couldn’t even struggle, let alone move a muscle.
“Don’t be scared. Your dear brother will probably come to save you soon,” Daniel patted her cheek. “Whatever grievances you have; you can tell Andy all about them when you see him.”
Chapter 689 Brother After a pause, Daniel added, “Oh wait, when Andy comes to rescue you, he’ll fall right into my trap. And then, he probably won’t live much longer either.”
Only then did Rachel notice that Daniel’s thugs behind him had already armed themselves, clearly ready for a brutal fight at any moment. By now, after processing the news all night, Rachel finally believed that Andy was alive. Daniel kept emphasizing that he was being so brutal to her due to his deadly feud with Andy, who was his mortal enemy. As they were talking, a sudden loud crash came from outside.

Chapter 689 Brother Hearing the noise, Daniel and Eric exchanged glances, their eyes silently communicating something ominous. Sure enough, moments later, a thug ran in. “Daniel! Andy’s here! He’s already taken down two of our guys!”
“Damn it! I’ll cripple him myself! He dares to cause trouble on my turf!” Daniel cursed, suddenly pulling out a gun from his waist and loading it. “Since he dares to come, I won’t let him leave alive! Everyone, get your weapons out! Today, we’ll make sure there’s nothing left of him to bury!”
Cursing and swearing, Daniel led his gang of thugs outside.
Chapter 689 Brother Perhaps because Rachel now had absolutely no possibility of escape, they didn’t even bother leaving anyone to guard her. Rachel’s eyes flickered.
Her brother had come to save her, but she didn’t feel the relief she should have. The fact that Andy was Daniel’s nemesis, someone he hated enough to go to these lengths for revenge, meant only one thing… Andy’s hands were just as dirty as Daniel’s. That night, Rachel learned more about Daniel’s business than she ever wanted to know.
Chapter 689 Brother Robbery, surrogacy, human trafficking, organ harvesting–they did it all, every vile thing imaginable. But the most profitable and disturbing part of their operation was drug trafficking. Rachel stared blankly at the door. She couldn’t forget the men who had kidnapped Chandler and Andy all those years ago.
They were criminals on the run from the police, who had snatched the boys from their small village to use as bargaining chips. So, if Andy hadn’t been killed back then… if he had been hiding all these years, did Chapter 689 Brother that mean he was involved with them?
Was that why he hadn’t come to find her and why he hadn’t even tried to contact her?
“Andy, what have you been doing all these years?”
