Andrew , let it go .

Andrews tone was calm as he replied , Im not worried .

Im built tough : Id gladly accept it if he kneels and begs before me .

Aspen clenched her fists in anger and retorted , Andrew , do you realize what youre risking ? Mr.

Kelce commands the loyalty of thousands in Bridgefields .

Meanwhile , in the commotion , Orion tried to sneak away , but someone landed a sharp kick on his backside , sending him tumbling forward into the center of the crowd .

Chapter 137 Andrew smirked and asked , Whats this ? Youve finally made up your mind to kneel before me ? Orions face burned crimson as he roared , Who kicked me ? Show yourself , or Ill skin alive ! No one responded , but the crowd had closed in around him , leaving him no escape .

Get down on your knees ! Bow your head ! You made a bet , now keep your word ! you The shouts and demands echoed around hint , and Orions expression turned from fury to fear .

He realized with dread that there was no way out The crowd was too large , and no one was on his side .

Swallowing his pride , he finally croaked , You win … I was wrong ! His voice was shaky with suppressed rage as he bowed his head to Andrew , his fists clenched tight with humiliation .
