Chapter 2341

Andrew did not say anything. Instead, he just looked down at the woman before him. Mikayla's eyes lit up with joy, thinking she had a chance. By closing the distance, apologizing earnestly, and adding her incomparable beauty to the mix, it was an unbeatable trump card. She believed that Andrew clearly could not resist her. Ten years ago, she had been just a young girl. People could already tell she would grow into a beauty, but she hadn't yet come into her own, and her allure had not fully bloomed. Now, though, Mikayla was at the peak of her womanhood. Even some of the most elite heirs in Chetvine had publicly pursued her, but she had politely turned them all down. After all, there were plenty of fish in the sea, and she was not ready to settle with one just yet. Andrew suddenly said, "Mikayla, you know something? Right now, you look exactly like a woman I used to know." Mikayla froze, then blushed. "Andrew, I'm guessing this woman… she was someone you used to be with, righ

Mikayla secretly gritted her teeth. Andrew was really something. She had already lowered herself, yet he still kept nitpicking. Did he really think she had no pride? If it were any other young man in Chetvine, they would have already bent over backwards to please her. They would have laughed and flattered her, never daring to make things so difficult. Nonetheless, Mikayla had a deep mind and never revealed her true feelings. Instead, she put on a pitiful expression and sighed softly. "Andrew, since you understand me, you should know I had no choice in what I did. For the Owens family to become a powerful house, we still have a long way to go. The burden of the family and the expectations of the elders, and I can't let any of it down. "Yes, I admit I've changed a lot over the years. When you arrived in Chetvine that day, my attitude wasn't great either. But there are reasons behind all of this. If I still acted toward you the way I did years ago, like an obedient little foll

Andrew's lips curled into a cold, dismissive smile. "Submit? Ha, do you really think you're worthy? Do you think I care about your submission? Mikayla, what I despise most about you is your crooked heart. "You honestly believe that all your little schemes and manipulations are hidden from me? In these ten years in Chetvine, you're adored and showered with vanity. So now you think my return has ruined that, that I remind you of the past and make you feel ashamed, right?" He added, "But the truth is, my return has nothing to do with you. You and your family, in my eyes, are nothing at all. Let me be blunt… You and the Owens family are nothing more than weeds by the roadside to me. If I ever want to crush you, all it takes is lifting my foot." Mikayla's heart trembled for no reason. The look in Andrew's eyes made her feel a kind of fear she had never known, one that felt utterly foreign. Yet the very next second, she burst out laughing in anger. "Andrew, since you've said it like

"Honey, you're back!" Andrew had been held up at Sovereign's Apothecary for the entire day. By the time he returned to the Lloyd family residence, it was already dinnertime. Aspen and Natasha had already prepared dinner and were waiting for Andrew to come home. Judging by their expressions, something seemed off. Andrew was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Aspen pouted and huffed. "Some woman invited herself over and wanted to mooch a meal off us. Well, I didn't make any for her." Andrew walked into the small, run-down cabin, took one look, and could not help but laugh. "Sheena, what are you doing here?" Sheena sat at the table, eyes gleaming as she stared at the spread of dishes. "Andrew, you're finally back! Well, what are we waiting for? Let's eat. I'm starving to death." With that, she grabbed a plate and started eating. Aspen looked furious. She had only set out three place settings, and Sheena had taken one, the one she had prepared for Andrew, no less. Wha

Chapter 2345

Alfredo was Holtrien's Sword Saint, ranked third on the Titan List. With nothing but himself and his blade, he was powerful enough to single-handedly guard the border. That was not even all. Ten years ago, Alfredo, wielding his deadly sword, had publicly announced to the world that his martial arts had reached the third stage of martial emperor. And in these past ten years, who knew if Alfredo had reached the fourth stage, or even maxed out at the fifth stage of martial emperor. For Sheena to have even a 10% chance against him was already incredibly fortunate. "Does Patriarch Donovan also approve of you challenging Alfredo?" Andrew asked again. Sheena was considered the future of the Lloyd family royal line, and to a certain extent, her importance was no less than Andrew's. Donovan was the current head of the Lloyds, and Andrew could not imagine him allowing Sheena to face Alfredo. Alfredo was notorious for his pride. If she angered him and he crippled her beyond healin

Sheena smirked. "You're thinking, how could anyone be such a jerk, right?" Natasha's cheeks flushed. She really was thinking that, but she did not dare say it out loud. Andrew sat there with a headache, silently listening as Sheena bragged about Reginald. He could not even find anything to argue with because that was exactly Reginald's personality. Sheena explained, "You're wrong. Uncle Reginald wasn't a jerk. He was just too damn charming, plus he used to be the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince. Back then, our royal house was at its peak. "Whether it was inside Holtrien or abroad, we were a powerhouse on another level. When Uncle Reginald traveled overseas, his treatment was no different from that of a crown prince. And that's not even half of it. Once you meet him in person, you'll understand what true charisma truly means. "Countless women threw themselves at him, expecting nothing in return, risking everything just to be near him. And since our Lloyd royal family had the wea
