Chapter 1443

Penulis: Only For You
Andrew carried Aspen to the second-floor bedroom, moving quickly but gently. He planned to try every alternative method he knew to help her sweat out the drug. Only if all else failed would he consider the final option—one that involved getting directly involved himself.

Downstairs, Tiana glanced at Jameson and let out a cold, pointed laugh. "At least that boy isn't greedy. If it were certain other men, I bet they'd jump at the chance, turn it into an all-out orgy, and call it charity."

Jameson's face turned bright red with irritation. He wanted to snap back and ask her why she was so blunt. However, with the two girls present, he forced a strained smile instead.

He cleared his throat and said, "Lauren, Fran, this place really is lovely. Why don't you show me around?"

Grateful for the change of subject, Lauren and Francesca eagerly led him off on a tour of the villa.

Tiana, hands folded neatly into the sleeves of her dress, tilted her head and stared up toward the second floo

    Andrew shook his head. "Don't waste your time trying to dig into my background. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand." Chantelle let out a cold laugh. "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, that's a bit much. You think I can't find out? Unless you're from one of Holtrien's top-tier noble families or one of the nation's real powerhouses—the kind who sit at the top of the decision-making pyramid—I can and will dig up your history." Andrew replied coolly, "Alright then, here's a little hint. I used to serve in Holtrien's military. If you want to investigate, be my guest." Chantelle froze, and her eyes widened in shock. "Military? You were in the armed forces?" Andrew corrected her without hesitation. "Not a soldier—I commanded them." That shut her up immediately. Her stunned gaze locked onto him. She paused for a second, then asked more urgently, "Wait, seriously? You led troops? Then that must mean… your rank wasn't low, was it?" After all, there was a massive difference between serving

    Chantelle had an impressive figure, and even though she wore oversized custom business attire, it could not hide her alluring silhouette, the kind that sparked all kinds of thoughts in a man's mind. However, her facial expression left much to be desired—she constantly wore that frigid, emotionally detached look. Just as she entered Serenity Villa, Chantelle stepped back out and looked to the side. "You're Tora, the Wrights' security captain, aren't you?" Her tone was professional but slightly curious. Tora grinned broadly. "Nice to see you, Ms. Garcia!" Chantelle nodded curtly. "Why aren't you going inside? You're here to see Andrew too, right?" Tora looked frustrated and dejected. "He won't let me in—told me to wait outside!" Chantelle frowned. "That's a bit much, even for him. But it's better if you wait out here. He's no small fry anymore. Someone of his level is worth the wait." On the third floor, Chantelle did not bother knocking—she just pushed the study door

    Stepping outside, Aspen felt cheerful as she grabbed her purse and headed toward the Ferrari. Her flawless fair skin, jet-black hair, sculpted figure, and stunning face turned heads without effort. And with a luxury car as extravagant as that Ferrari, she was now the picture-perfect heiress. "Ms. Stevens, heading out?" A sleek black Audi A6 pulled up and came to a stop, the door clicking open. Out stepped Chantelle, dressed in a sharp, no-nonsense outfit. Aspen blinked in surprise. "Ms. Garcia, hey there! What brings you here?" Chantelle nodded with a pleasant smile. "I'm here to see Mr. Lloyd." Aspen shrugged lightly. "Alright, go on up. He should be in the study on the third floor." However, as Aspen bent slightly to slide into the low seat of her Ferrari, Chantelle suddenly called out, "Ms. Stevens, wait a second." Aspen paused mid-movement and looked back at her. Chantelle walked up beside her, tapping on the gleaming car. "Mr. Lloyd sure spoils his little assista

    Dylan asked, "Mr. Lloyd, in that situation with two martial kings present, how did you have the nerve?" Just remembering it made his throat dry and his palms sweat. Andrew scoffed and shrugged. "So what? If it really came to a fight, they'd be the ones dying, not me." Dylan's face twisted into an expression of pure disbelief. "But Mr. Lloyd, did you even consider my feelings? You might be able to handle being ganged up on, but I would've been meeting my maker right then and there!" Andrew blinked, then laughed. "Fair point. I would've been fine, no doubt about that. But you? Yeah, Grand Viper would've probably snapped you in half with a single strike. But hey, Dylan, you lucked out. You made it back in one piece." Dylan's mouth twitched as the realization hit him that Andrew had not even considered whether he would live or die back there. If a real fight had broken out with all those people ganging up on them, would he have actually survived? Seeing the pale look on Dylan'

    Mosby walked over, clearly impressed. "Mr. Wright Senior, you're really a man of bold decisions. You raised such a powerful son with so much effort, and now you've crippled him just like that… Even I feel it's a shame!" Kevin scoffed. "Save the sympathy, Dr. Lake. You're not fooling anyone. Now, get in touch with Mr. Driscoll. I didn't care about the treasure before, but now that I know it exists, I'm taking my cut. And if anyone dares to leave the Wrights out of it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Mosby's expression darkened, his eyes wary. "Understood. But if the Wrights want in, you've got to pull your weight. We've gone through hell collecting the scattered fragments of this map, and now that the full treasure map is nearly complete, the Wrights just show up to claim a share?" He added, "You barely did anything—there needs to be some compensation!" Kevin sneered. "Your compensation is staying alive, Mosby. If I felt like it, I'd kill you right now. Do you really think t

    Kevin clenched his fists and laughed. "The legendary treasure left behind by the Fallen Crimson Dynasty… all of Holtrien's centuries of feudal wealth, concentrated in this doomsday empire. Think about it—it must be mountains of gold, oceans of jewels… and maybe even ancient relics long lost to time. "Like the Elixir of Immortality that Admiral Frost brought back from his voyage to the East, and the Moon Pearl that the Demon Queen supposedly held in her mouth when she was buried. Any one of these alone could overturn everything our family has worked for, across generations." Quinton's eyes gleamed with wonder. "It might not even stop there. What if there are artifacts from Admiral Locke's journeys through uncharted seas? And all the wealth those old dynasty officials squeezed from the people—enough to fill trucks and still take days to haul away. "If it's really all true, then we've hit the jackpot. Screw the Three Titans—they'll all have to step aside for us!" The father and s
