Chapter 378

Author: Only For You
Francesca smiled and joked, "Smart people tend to like sugar, and you're exceptionally brilliant, so you have an even bigger sweet tooth than I do."

"You seem distracted. Has something happened?" Andrew asked while studying her expression.

Francesca hesitated before sighing. "It's nothing major, but Grandpa and Simon had a huge fight. Grandpa threatened to expel him from the family practice."

Andrew nodded silently, feeling it was not his place to comment on the Aickers' family matters.

Francesca continued, "When our whole family rushed to rescue you at the police station earlier, Simon strongly opposed it and kept arguing with Grandpa and me. After you were saved, Grandpa went home and scolded Simon, but Simon's reaction was extreme, which led to their big argument."

Andrew responded, "Mr. Aicker has quite a temper—I could tell. Fran, you might not like hearing this, but Simon seems to have questionable intentions."

Francesca nodded in agreement. "You're right. I've notice

    Jayce said, "Damn, even if the Schwartz family has money, they can't treat people like this. Then, Dawson came to me and demanded that I take the car back, saying my ride had brought bad luck to his family. If I didn't handle it right, he said he'd hire someone to kill me. "Damn it… I really picked the wrong people to mess with. Those Schwartz brats only pick on folks like me." Jayce kept complaining, not noticing that Bryson was too stunned to speak. 'Oh my… Could what that kid said be true? Did he really squeeze 100 million out of the Schwartzes? Damn, I ran into someone big. If I'd known, I would have given the car away for free… or my wife too! Anything to hitch onto that power." Bryson beat his chest, kicking himself for missing such an opportunity. … Meanwhile, Andrew drove his new used car back to the Lloyd family compound with a satisfied grin. Back at the Schwartz residence, the father and sons sat in grim silence, their faces twisted with rage. "Dad, we absolu

    Andrew's expression chilled suddenly, and Carson clutched his stinging cheek, furious but afraid to speak. He had nearly bitten his own molars to pieces. No matter what, he was still the head of his family, and the Schwartz family had their pride to maintain. Yet, Andrew had struck him without hesitation. This was plainly an act of trampling the Schwartz family's dignity into the dirt. He thought bitterly, 'I'll remember this!' His heart burned with hatred. It turned out Andrew had not been afraid at all. From the very beginning, he had no intention of showing the Schwartz family any respect. If that were the case, then the Schwartz family would not let this slide either. Ten years ago, Andrew was the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, famous throughout Chetvine. However, he believed that Andrew's era was long over, and he was nothing now. Andrew said coldly, "Like I said before, pay for my car plus emotional damages and lost wages. Make it quick. If the Schwartz family can't c

    Andrew shrugged and said casually, "I'm just a nobody. Even if I told you my name, you wouldn't know it." Carson's face darkened. "If you were really just a nobody, you wouldn't dare to show up at our door. No matter how far the Schwartz family has fallen, we won't be humiliated by some random nobody. I demand you tell me your full name so the Schwartz family can know whether we're being wronged or not!" Andrew replied coolly, "Fine. My name is Andrew Lloyd." Carson frowned. "Andrew… Lloyd?" He still had not caught on to who he was dealing with. Meanwhile, Gavin, who had been beaten nearly to death, suddenly trembled like he had seen a ghost. He stuttered, "Dad… A-Andrew Lloyd… Isn't that the name of the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince who just returned to Chetvine?" The revelation hit Carson like a thunderbolt, nearly knocking him off his feet. He stared at Andrew with disbelief and growing fear. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to strangle Dawson. Why did this

    Andrew shook his head and sighed. "Looks like in Chetvine, fists still do the talking! Otherwise, even the small fish at the bottom of the pond start thinking they're hot shit and can become real predators." Andrew threw a punch of his own, accompanied by what sounded like a dragon's roar. Gavin's fist was instantly shattered by Andrew's blow, with bone fragments and flesh exposed in a gruesome sight. Gavin screamed in agony as he clutched his completely destroyed arm and collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. At the same time, Gavin was utterly horrified. He was at the peak of martial king level, one of the outstanding talents of the younger generation in the Schwartz family, and their rising star. Unlike Dawson's reckless incompetence, Gavin was an exceptional prodigy who could compete with the heirs of major dynasties in Chetvine. Yet, with just a single punch, he was completely ruined. A voice roared in Gavin's mind that the spoiled brat Dawson had truly messed w

    Nicole heard the crisp sound of a slap, and her smile became even more smug. Dawson had a nasty temper and was spoiled rotten at home, so this clueless, poor guy was about to get beaten up and still have to pay for damages afterward. However, the next second, she heard an enraged roar. "You bastard, how dare you hit me! You actually dared to hit me?" Nicole could not believe what she was seeing and stared in shock, completely stunned. Andrew stood there perfectly fine, while her prince charming, Dawson, had half his face swollen and red. Andrew casually dusted off his hand and said coldly, "Like I said, you're completely at fault. Pay up or fix my car, plus cover my lost wages. I'm not trying to take advantage of you here. And when you talk to me, watch your mouth. Otherwise, you'll get to experience that slap again." Dawson was furious. "You piece of trash, are you kidding me? Since you hit me, I don't want you to pay for my car anymore. I want you beaten to an inch of y

    Andrew smiled. "Absolutely sure. Money's tight these days, so every dollar saved counts." The dealer grinned and finished all the paperwork before handing it to Andrew. "You know how to live within your means. I respect that… You're a solid guy who knows how to manage his finances. Take her for a spin; she'll run strong for another three to five years easily." With that, Andrew hit the gas and drove off in his newly acquired used Jetta. Truth be told, the Jetta was legendary, especially the AC. It worked better than most million-dollar luxury cars. Driving his used Jetta, Andrew leisurely merged onto the highway heading home. Suddenly, a Ferrari behind him started honking aggressively, gunning its engine, and tailgating him menacingly. Andrew ignored it completely and stayed in his lane, following the car ahead of him. The fast lane was right next to him, and he was not blocking traffic. There was even a Ford up ahead. So, the car behind him was either having issues or delibe
