Chapter 106

Author: Only For You
Blood dripped from the corner of Christina's mouth, and panic gripped her heart. She was alone in Nelson's office, and no one could hear her cries for help.

Tears streamed down her face as fear overwhelmed her. In that critical moment, she did not think of her fiance, Harvey. Surprisingly, it was Andrew instead.

Suddenly, the office door crashed open with a thunderous bang. Both Christina and Nelson turned in shock as Andrew strode in with a cold expression.

Without hesitation, Andrew delivered a powerful kick to Nelson's chest, sending his heavy frame flying backward into his desk with a loud thud.

Christina stood frozen, her eyes wide as she stared at Andrew's swift and powerful move.

"W-What are you doing here?" she stammered, the red mark on her face still stinging.

Andrew's eyes were ice-cold. "Ms. Stevens, did you forget? You called me over."

"No, I mean... h-how did you get past security?" she stuttered.

"That's not important right now," Andrew snapped. "What we

    "However, you know, he's always kept things on the down low, hiding who he really is, so he never let us in on his secret. Kinda cute how he thinks he can pull that off, right?"However, this is my kid we're talking about. He could totally pull a stunt like that. I mean, come on, my kids? We're all about big dreams.""His sister's the boss lady of her own company, so there's no way he's lagging behind..."The more Irene dreamed up scenarios, the more convinced she became!She had sky-high hopes for her son Leroy!They say true gold always shines, and she was sure her boy Leroy was just like hidden treasure, ready to show his true sparkle any moment then!"Christie, sweetheart, just kick back and relax, okay? Don't worry your pretty head about a thing!"Tucking Christina in and making sure she was cozy, Irene's smile turned into a smirk."Your brother's out there fighting your battles, doesn't matter if it was that jerk Andrew who messed with you! Today, he's gonna get a taste o

    "Mom, something's seriously wrong with Christie," Leroy said urgently, noticing how her expression had completely collapsed. It's like she's about to have a breakdown—we should stop arguing and just let her rest!" Irene, pacing in circles and dabbing at her tears, wailed, "How could this happen to my sweet girl? She was fine just this morning! Christie, how am I supposed to go on if anything happens to you? I'm still counting on you to take care of me when I'm old!" Leroy rolled his eyes. "Seriously, Mom? Christie's losing it, and all you can think about is who's going to fund your retirement? You've got to be the most selfish mother on the planet—all you ever think about is your own little world!" Irene snapped, eyes wide. "You brat! You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that! Don't forget that you've been bleeding Christie dry too! I'm your mother! I raised you, fed you, and gave you everything! Expecting my kids to support me is not a crime!" She added, "And what abou

    Looking at Christina, who looked like she was about to lose her mind, Yara sneered. "Did I say anything wrong? Christina, let me ask you—what makes you think you're even qualified to go against Andrew? His company is worth billions. If he really wanted to crush you, you'd be dead a hundred times over by now." Christina shouted in fury, "Yara, whose side are you on? Are you with the Wrights, or are you with Andrew?" Yara laughed coldly. "Does that even matter? I already know you're going to go running back to Quinton to tattle, but I couldn't care less. You're nothing but a curse in human form—a scheming little parasite. "Don't think I don't see what you're doing. You're trying to use our family—the Wrights—to get back at Andrew. But too bad for you, while Quinton might be dumb enough to help you, I'm not. Because no matter how I look at you, you're just a manipulative bitch with an agenda." Christina clutched her stinging face, too humiliated to speak, and climbed into the car

    Andrew did not expect Quinton to know about the treasure. There was no doubt—what Quinton was after had to be the same treasure that Ronan's family had been guarding for generations. And now that Quinton had his sights set on the Rhodes family, it could only mean one thing: he was targeting the fragmented treasure map in their possession. Clearly, it was time to give Tiana and Jameson a heads-up. As Andrew thought it through, he suddenly called out, "Ms. Wright, wait a second!" Yara stopped and turned back around. "Mr. Lloyd, is there something else?" Andrew pointed at the stack in her hand and gave a sly smile. "Nothing big—just figured you should leave a token of your sincerity behind." The relaxed look on Yara's face instantly vanished, replaced with one of irritation. She silently cursed at him for being a pervert. With a loud smack, she dropped a few risque photos onto the table for him. That was the foundation of their partnership—Andrew needed leverage over her t

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1232

    Andrew was completely speechless. "Ms. Wright, you can eat nonsense if you want, but you can't just say nonsense like that! I haven't even touched a single hair on your body! And now you're accusing me of violating you? That's just making things up out of thin air!" Yara was so furious that her whole face turned bright red. The way she glared at Andrew made it seem like she wanted to kill him. Aspen snapped, "Andrew, that's enough! You did look at her photos. Don't act innocent!" Andrew sighed. "Fine, I'll accept Ms. Wright's proposal to work together. But there's one condition—and you need to agree to it. If not, then we're done here." Yara gritted her teeth. "Say it." Andrew said calmly, "The only reason I'm even considering this is because I can tell you're serious about this. You and your half-brother Quinton must be at a point where you're ready to destroy each other. "But even so, I still don't fully trust you. So from here on out, I'm in charge, and you follow my lea

    Yara let out a furious laugh. "Andrew, you really are an arrogant bastard! Fine. If you think so little of me, I'll find someone else. You're not the only player in town." Andrew waved a hand. "Be my guest." "You—" Yara's chest heaved with rage, but she was too calculating to let her anger show fully. With one last icy glare, she turned on her heels and stormed out, her stilettos clicking sharply against the floor. She had come here looking down on him—some nobody from Jayrodale who'd clawed his way into Blumedale through sheer luck and stubbornness. In her eyes, he was still just an insect. Her so-called "partnership" had always been a ploy to use him. However, Andrew had not taken the bait. Worse, he had dismissed her as if she were beneath his notice. What a bastard. Aspen scowled as the door slammed. "Was pissing her off really necessary? If she'd actually worked with us, her resources alone would've been worth it—forget about Quinton's backing." Andrew sipped his te

    Aspen was utterly stunned. Yara—Quinton's own sister—had come to Andrew with a proposal to kill him. She actually wanted her brother dead? Andrew, however, did not look the least bit surprised. Instead, he chuckled. "Mind telling me why you'd want to partner with me—someone your Wright family considers an enemy? Shouldn't you be here trying to settle a score?" Yara shook her head. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You're a smart man, Mr. Lloyd. I know you understand exactly what I mean." Andrew gave a nod. "So what you're really saying is—you and Quinton are enemies." Yara's eyes turned icy cold. "Like I said, Quinton is my half-brother. But if I had it my way, he'd be dead and buried without a trace." Aspen, clearly uncomfortable, finally couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Wright… do you mind if I ask why you hate your brother so much?" Yara's tone stayed flat. "Sorry, that's personal. Not something I care to share." She turned back to Andrew. "So, Mr. Lloyd, yes or no? Gi

    "Mr. Lake, please teach me. What's the solution?" the young disciple asked. Mosby grinned darkly. "Simple. Let them… die." … At The Sovereign Residences, Andrew pushed open the door to Aspen's room—only to find it empty. He turned sharply, frowning. "Didn't I tell you guys to keep an eye on Aspen? I said don't let her jump off the damn building!" Dylan gave an awkward laugh. "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, isn't that a bit dramatic? I really don't think she's that unstable." Andrew sneered. "Says the guy who's still single at your age. Figures." Dylan blinked. "Excuse me?" What happened to having a normal conversation? Did Andrew have to aim straight for the personal wounds? Still, Andrew could not shake the worry gnawing at his chest. He really was concerned that Aspen might have done something reckless. That woman had always been a little unstable, and the stuff that happened between them in the car recently? Yeah, not exactly therapy-approved. If Aspen got caught in a spira

    Inside one of Genesis Dispensary's private wards, Mosby stood over his third apprentice, Ellis. He only needed a glance before saying coldly, "Start preparing for the funeral." Old Hayface and the rest of the gathered disciples froze like statues. "Mr. Lake, even with your skills… you can't save Ellis?" Old Hayface asked in disbelief. Mosby scoffed. "I can't. That punk Andrew shattered every meridian in Ellis's body. Most critically, his brain took a major blow—he suffered a severe concussion. Right now, he's no different from a vegetable." The more Mosby spoke, the angrier he became. He silently cursed, 'Andrew, you little bastard… your death is coming.' A young apprentice, no older than a teenager and clearly unaware of Mosby's true nature, asked innocently, "But Mr. Lake, Ellis isn't dead, right? We could take care of him here at Genesis Dispensary until he wakes up! Even if he never wakes up, you're rich, Mr. Lake—you could support him for the rest of his life!" The roo
