Chapter 217

Author: Only For You
The auction continued late into the night, with many guests still buzzing with excitement. The attendees could not stop discussing the two spectacular bidding wars that had taken place earlier. Without exception, all the drama centered around someone named Andrew.

Michael turned to Harvey with a consoling tone, saying, "Harvey, cheer up. After all, the crown still ended up in your hands."

He added, "Sure, Andrew may be insufferable, but in the end, he backed down and didn't dare compete with you."

Harvey's forced smile looked more painful than genuine. He did not think Andrew backed down. Instead, that bastard had pushed him to the absolute limit with his underhanded tactics.

Of course, Harvey did not say his thoughts aloud. Despite the burning rage in his heart, he maintained a gracious facade as he accepted Michael's attempts at consolation.

Finley let out a cold snort. He spat, "This guy's got some nerve. Not only did he offend me, but he also showed complete disrespect to

    At the last moment, Marcelo roared angrily, "Stop!" His subordinates finally held back, but they were all staring daggers at Andrew. Logan quietly broke out in a cold sweat and whispered to Andrew, "Andy, what you just said was way too provoking! Marcelo really isn't someone to mess with. You went too far!" Andrew kept smiling without saying a word. Marcelo stepped forward through the crowd and came right up to him. He stared into Andrew's eyes for a full ten seconds before slowly nodding. "They say the next generation always surpasses the last, and each generation gets stronger than the last. I've always only half-believed that. You're talented, and I can see you have great ambitions. If it were some other old fool, they might show some restraint, or even fear you a bit. But unfortunately, I'm not one of those people!" He pointed directly at Andrew's nose, his face grim as his voice rose. "This is Cillian's funeral, and I don't want to be disrespectful. But I'm rememberi

    Mason was stunned, caught off guard by the unexpected gesture. Andrew had just bowed to him with a very sincere attitude, which Mason thought was absolutely impossible.After all, Andrew was definitely no pushover. On the contrary, he was a tough guy who would not take any losses."You're too kind. As long as you don't hold the Ulrich family responsible, we'll count our blessings."Even as he spoke, his words dripped with passive aggression.He sneered inwardly. 'Andrew, you may have great power, but your foundation is unstable. Today, I've got you cornered!'Andrew smiled and patted Mason's shoulder with a meaningful look. "Mr. Ulrich, we're about the same age. Let's go by first name! I remember when you first took your position; we had quite a pleasant conversation."He added, "Although I don't know what caused you to develop unpleasant thoughts about me, I believe that since we're all part of the Chamber of Commerce, any misunderstandings can be cleared up."Mason's face twis

    At the Ulrich residence, Mason moved incredibly fast. Cillian had just died, and he was already holding the funeral the very next day.The Ulrich family women were wailing loudly at the wake, and guests were whispering among themselves."Cillian had such bad luck this year. He shouldn't have died like this!" "Bad luck? Please. He was clearly taken out by someone with an agenda," another hissed."Exactly, Mr. Lloyd is pretty petty and ruthless!" "Yeah, that bastard snatched the chairman seat and still wasn't satisfied. He had to go after a loyal elder like Cillian too? He's a damn monster!"Some hot-headed mourners did not bother hiding their outrage and cursed out loud.Mason knelt dutifully in front of his father's casket, dressed in all black, looking every bit the heartbroken son.Guests whispered praises about his love for his father, but no one noticed the faint smirk of satisfaction curling at the corner of his mouth."Mr. Lloyd has arrived!" someone shouted at the ent

    Andrew said, "It's simple. In three months, I'll have my students spar with you. Then we'll see who comes out on top."Chantelle replied dismissively, "What if they lose? What happens then?"Andrew looked at her. "Nothing much to say. How about I give you my full attention for three straight nights?" Chantelle first blushed with anger. Then, her face turned red as she glared at Andrew. "Make it a full week. That's my final offer. Either agree or forget about it." Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Women in their 30s really do have bigger appetites! Okay, no problem.""But what if you lose?" he asked smoothly. Chantelle did not even hesitate. "I won't lose. But if I do? You can do whatever you want."Andrew chuckled lazily. "Ms. Garcia, you never learn, do you? Remember our first bet? You lost that one too, and the price you paid… Well, let's just say that scene is still burned into my memory. It was glorious."By now, Chantelle was mostly immune to Andrew's teasing. After all, he'd

    No matter the weather, training on the back lawn of Serenity Villa began like clockwork every morning before dawn. Even if it rained or the wind howled, Andrew never allowed a break.The only exception was Lauren, who had been sidelined due to an injury. However, seeing her lounging around, grinning from ear to ear, Andrew casually remarked, "One more week tops, then you're joining in for beginner drills. Don't even think about making excuses. No one's getting special treatment."Instantly, the beauty's smile froze. She huffed, "Honey, do you even realize how heartless you are? At this rate, the three of us are going to drain you dry!"Andrew just chuckled at that comment. Through their recent intimate encounters, he had confirmed that merging spiritually and physically with the three women was beneficial for breaking through his sealed power.However, he still had not figured out the exact reason behind this phenomenon.Across the artificial lake, Joe stood there like a pole, sho

    Andrew turned back to face Francesca and the others.Natasha spoke sympathetically, "Darling, Joe might not be on our side, but he's not really a bad person either. Why did you have to be so harsh on him?" Francesca nodded in agreement. "Exactly, honey. What you said back there was honestly pretty hurtful. I'm afraid he's going to feel terrible about it."Andrew sneered. "I was just telling the truth. Is that somehow wrong? Besides, since when do I need to worry about his feelings?" Aspen crossed her arms and twisted them behind her back. Then, she curled her body and threaded her arms through from below her feet. Her body was incredibly flexible and limber. She took a moment to address Andrew, saying, "I think you went too far. Joe is dealing with heartbreak and crushing defeat right now. It's not a bad thing to show a little empathy!" Andrew snorted, half amused, half annoyed. "Wow, what is this? You're all turning against me now? Siding with an outsider to scold me? Today'
