Chapter 1197

Author: Only For You
"This way, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Rhodes, Mrs. Rhodes, and Ms. Rhodes—please!" Justin had completely changed his attitude, now grinning with over-the-top enthusiasm.

He was practically bowing, a world apart from the snobby arrogance he had shown earlier.

Tiana smiled faintly and said, "We'll be dining in the Celestial Suite now. That won't be a problem, right?"

The manager nodded so fast it looked painful. "No problem at all, Mrs. Rhodes. Please, right this way!"

Jameson patted Andrew's shoulder reassuringly and whispered, "Andy, don't worry. I already called our people. Jerry and the others are on their way."

Andrew chuckled lightly. "Mr. Rhodes, there's no need to mobilize the whole family.

The Hopkins? I can handle them myself."

Jameson shook his head, thinking Andrew was just putting on a brave face. He believed Andrew, being new to Blumedale, could not possibly fend off the Hopkins on his own.

Meanwhile, Andrew casually excused himself during dinner to make a quick call to

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1642

    Late at night, the study in Driscoll residence was dimly lit. Maurice, who seemed to always hide in the shadows, asked in a low voice, "Joe hasn't stepped out since he came back this afternoon?" Walter, the head of the Driscoll family's Shadow Division, whispered back, "That's correct, sir. He has remained in his room since returning during the day!" Maurice frowned. "Did you send anyone to check on what's going on?" Walter shook his head with a bitter smile. "I sent three different groups, sir. None of them got in. He even turned away his sisters." Maurice let out a cold snort. "Something's off with him since he returned this afternoon, and I can feel it. Walter, tell him I want to see him." Walter hesitated. "Sir, it's already pretty late. Maybe we should wait till morning?" Maurice's voice turned sharp. "I know what time it is. But I can't sit back and watch Joe lose his focus just because of a girl. Go now. I need to hear from him what exactly is going on in his head!"

    Still, Andrew had no reason to question Chantelle over something like that, so he could only keep it to himself. On the other hand, Chantelle had never looked him in the eye. Her posture remained straight and composed. Andrew could not stand the weird tension in the room anymore, so he stood up and said, "Well then, Ms. Garcia, once you're done cleaning up, you should get some rest. I'm going to bed now." Chantelle stood up with him and laughed lightly. "Alright, Mr. Lloyd, good night!" Andrew headed upstairs, turned off the lights, and lay down. Since Chantelle was staying overnight at Serenity Villa, he could not have the three girls join him tonight. Otherwise, if things got noisy, Chantelle would inevitably hear everything, which would be rather awkward. Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen were thinking the same thing. Soon after everything was cleaned up, they each returned to their respective rooms and obediently went to sleep. Andrew had already fallen asleep, but his ph

    Andrew found himself taking the jab out of nowhere and could only laugh awkwardly. Aspen looked up from the couch and gasped, "Oh my goodness! It's almost 11 p.m., and Ms. Garcia's still in the kitchen?" Lauren jumped up in alarm. "Wait… you're right! We totally forgot. Let's check on her!" Francesca, wearing her cartoon slippers, was already rushing toward the kitchen. "Ms. Garcia, please don't tell me you passed out from exhaustion!" Just then, Chantelle finally emerged, her cheeks flushed a soft red. She was clearly embarrassed as she said, "S-Sorry about that, everyone. I just finished cleaning up, I'll be taking my leave now." Lauren looked apologetic. "Ms. Garcia, I'm so sorry. We got so caught up in the show that we forgot about you!" Aspen said, "Ms. Garcia, we'll walk you to the door!" Chantelle waved her hand. "No need, I can manage by myself. It's already late, so you all should get some rest!" She took two steps forward but suddenly grabbed onto the door f

    Chantelle said, "Plus, I'm borrowing your kitchen and using your ingredients. So, Mr. Lloyd, just eat up. No need to thank me or anything!" Andrew smiled. "Come on, having someone of your stature cook dinner for me is truly an honor!" The dining table was loaded with about 15 dishes, all specialty cuisine. Lauren and the other two girls kept nodding as they ate, constantly praising Chantelle's cooking skills. Andrew also gave her a thumbs up, agreeing that she really knew her way around the kitchen. After dinner, it was already past 8:00 p.m. Chantelle stood up and said, "I'll wash the dishes and then head home." Lauren said in surprise, "No way, Ms. Garcia! We can't possibly let you do the dishes!" Aspen quickly added, "Ms. Garcia, don't worry about it. Just rest for a bit, I'll wash the dishes!" Francesca nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Just relax, Ms. Garcia. Aspen and I will handle the dishes!" Chantelle started clearing the plates and insisted, "No way! I've a

    The whole situation was pretty simple. Joe had been infatuated with Lauren, completely one-sided. As for Lauren, she treated him with kindness and respect and admired his talents, but she never once felt any romantic pull. The golden boy of the Driscoll family really was the whole package. His looks, his martial prowess, and his intellect were unmatched. Even Andrew had to give him that. Though he casually said with a smirk, "Mr. Driscoll is pretty much perfect, maybe the finest man out there… but he's still just a notch below me." Whenever Andrew said things like this, Francesca would roll her eyes in exasperation, whereas Aspen would nod in complete agreement, unconditionally defending her master. Lauren got all fired up and planted a kiss right on Andrew's lips. Only Chantelle could not help but make sarcastic comments. She knew Andrew was amazing, but she just did not like hearing him say it. Or rather, she did not like seeing Andrew surrounded by three gorgeous

    Andrew smiled. "Speaking of which, Lauren, I actually think Mr. Driscoll is a pretty decent guy! At least he's not like Elon from the Goldings or Xavier from the Haywoods, those brainless idiots who come out swinging and acting all high and mighty from the start." Lauren hesitated, seeming like she wanted to say something but held back. Francesca had a strange expression on her face and giggled. "Joe, the heir of the Driscoll family, definitely can't be compared to people like Elon and Xavier. If it weren't for you, I actually think Lauren and Joe getting together would have made a beautiful love story!" Andrew's face darkened. "Fran, are you saying that compared to Joe, I'm not good enough for Lauren?" Francesca quickly said, "Look at you, getting all jealous over nothing! If you hadn't appeared, Lauren and Joe being together would have been perfectly fine. But the problem is that you, Lauren's true prince charming, showed up. So naturally you're better than Joe!" Aspen a
