Chapter 34

Author: Only For You
After examining Eunice, Andrew immediately confirmed it was the same poison used on Cecelia. The method was sophisticated, and most people would not have seen it coming.

"Dr. Lloyd, can you treat her?" Lauren asked anxiously.

Andrew nodded confidently and said, "It shouldn't be too difficult." Then, he reached for his silver needles and was ready to start the detoxification process.

Suddenly, a cold voice called out, "Stop right there!"

A group entered the room, led by a man in a suit with an air of smug entitlement.

Lauren turned with a frown. "Michael, what are you doing here?"

It was Michael Rhodes, her cousin and one of Jayrodale's four most eligible bachelors. He replied, "Lauren, isn't it obvious from Eunice's poisoning that someone's targeting Rhodes Corporation? You can't be that blind."

"And?" Lauren's face remained expressionless.

"And it's time to get rid of your pretty boy doctor here. My people will handle this, so stay out of it!" Michael shot Andrew a di

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2160

    Cassandra was the first to notice something wrong. "Carlos, what's going on with you? Why does your face look so pale all of a sudden?" Sofia, still confused, asked with concern. "Carlos, are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling good, get some rest. Don't get yourself worked up just because of good news, my boy." She still thought he was just too excited about the supposed five-billion-dollar acquisition. However, Carlos ignored everyone. He walked straight up to Andrew and suddenly dropped to his knees with a loud thud. "Mr. Lloyd, I-I'm sorry! I was blind and failed to recognize who you really are. I'm sorry, so sorry!" He slapped his own face hard, again and again, while begging forgiveness. The entire Garcia family froze in shock. Sofia frowned in disbelief. "Carlos, get up right now! What are you doing? You shouldn't be kneeling like this!" Cassandra cried out, "Honey, what's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling to him?" Carlos snapped. "Stay out of this! Don

    "Honey, go ahead and show them. I want to see you reveal your true power." Chantelle's voice turned sugary on purpose, and Andrew felt a headache coming on. He could not help but wonder if she held some hidden grudge against her family since she seemed to enjoy watching him put the Garcias in their place. Since that was the case, Andrew decided not to hold back. He pulled out his phone and made a call. "Tell the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce the acquisition is canceled. Also, tell them I'm in Terror Town right now. Their member, Carlos Watt, is an idiot, so clean him out. I'm sick of looking at him." As soon as Andrew hung up, Carlos exploded with rage. "Get out! You hear me? Get the hell out now, or I'll take you down myself! Damn it, I'm Carlos Watts, a well-known figure in Terror Town, and I've never met anyone as reckless as you!" Carlos felt deeply insulted, more than he could stand. Before Andrew showed up, he had been the favored son-in-law in the family, practically p

    Sofia cleared her throat, smiling as she turned to Andrew. "It's not that we're looking down on you, but you just have to face reality. This is our family's standard of living. That must feel like a heavy burden for you, doesn't it?" She went on warmly. "We know your relationship with Elle wasn't easy. But Chantelle is our daughter, born and raised in Terror Town, and our family is well-off. That's undeniable. "On top of that, she's building a career in politics, so her future is very bright. Honestly, as an elder, I sympathize with you two. But as her mother, I don't approve of this relationship." Andrew nodded. "Mrs. Garcia, you're right, being well-matched in status is very important." Sofia blinked, surprised at how cooperative he sounded. He added with the same calm smile, "If we look at family background, wealth, and other aspects, you're right: we really don't match. After all, compared to me, your family's conditions are far too low. We're simply not compatible."

    As the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and the heir of the Lloyd family, Andrew stood on a level far above Carlos. To Andrew, Carlos was nothing. "Cassie, you're all looking at Andrew with tinted glasses," Chantelle said firmly. "It's only because you don't know him, and you don't understand him. Just wait. You'll see for yourselves soon enough." She left it at that and returned to Andrew's side, peeling fruit for him affectionately while ignoring Carlos' dark scowl and Sofia's growing irritation. Meanwhile, Patrick sat wearing his reading glasses, looking at the newspaper, and staying completely silent. He appeared quite mysterious. Just then, Carlos' phone rang. Seeing the caller, he immediately put on a fawning smile and answered obsequiously. "Mr. Carney, what an honor for you to call me personally!" On the other end was Elliot Carney, secretary to the president of the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce. "Mr. Watts, I'm calling to inform you of something. Someone has off

    Carlos stepped forward with a mocking smile. "Whether or not you're really from Chetvine doesn't matter. If you want to marry into the Garcia family, you'd better prove yourself like I did." Sofia took a small sip of tea and casually said, "Carlos is the CEO of a public company, Andrew. You might not realize it yet since you're new here, but Carlos is considered outstanding, a true leader among men." Andrew chuckled. "Mrs. Garcia, if 'leaders among men' are this common, the world must be overflowing with them. If any small-time player is suddenly a leader among men just because they're called out, then wouldn't the whole world be overrun with nobodies?" Sofia's face darkened. She had not expected Andrew to be this sharp-tongued, especially under her roof. She wanted to argue but held back, wanting to maintain her poise. Hence, she relied instead on Carlos to handle it. Carlos sneered. "Sounds like you're not too convinced, huh? Don't say I'm bullying you, but as a guest, let me

    Sofia muttered reluctantly, "Why shouldn't I bring it up? She's my daughter. If her mother doesn't question the man she chose, then who will?" The Garcia family had several luxury cars lined up, but on the way home, Andrew and Chantelle rode in one by themselves. "People always say folks in Terror Town are picky, pretentious, and high-brow. Seeing it today, I'd say that's pretty accurate," Andrew said with a smile. Chantelle gripped his hand, her face full of apology. "Honey, once we're home, I'll explain your identity to them clearly. I'm sorry for the way my mom treated you. Honestly, she's just vain and materialistic. She wanted me to find someone more impressive than Carlos." Andrew raised a brow and asked, "Is he really that impressive?" Chantelle shook her head. "Not really. He's from a local family here in Terror Town, worth a few billion, and he's an only child, so he'll inherit it all. He also runs his own company here, which is why he acts like he's untouchable."
