Chapter 423

Author: Only For You
"Security, arrest him immediately!" came the shouts from around the room.

"Take him away and hand him over to the police—use the company's connections to make sure he rots in jail!"

Michael's loyal followers on either side of him jumped to their feet, looking at Andrew as if he were already dead. This was their chance to prove their loyalty to Michael, and in their eyes, this foolish young man was nothing but dust to Rhodes Corporation.

"Well, well, Rhodes Corporation's executives are supposed to be sophisticated, high-income individuals," Andrew said calmly, not moving an inch. "But right now, all I see is a pack of dogs barking."

Marcus nearly fell out of his chair in shock. He figured Andrew had given up and decided to antagonize the entire executive board since he was headed for jail anyway—a reckless and foolish move, in his opinion.

"Take him to the police," Michael ordered, his eyes cold as ice. "As CEO, I have only one demand—make him disappear from this world."

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2760

    "Here's to us and may our friendship last forever!"Inside the Lloyd family's hotel, Andrew lifted his glass one last time. He said, "Tomorrow, I'll be leaving Chetvine. No matter where life takes us after this, I'll always remember everyone here drinking with me tonight."This time, no one immediately raised their glasses. Instead, everyone stared at Andrew in surprise. Except for his three confidantes and Sheena, no one else knew he would be leaving for Mount Lourneau the next day.Isabelle was the first to cry out miserably. "Andrew, you're leaving tomorrow? No! Wherever you go, I'll go."Andrew waved her off with a smile. "Belle, the place I'm going to isn't suitable for you. It might even be dangerous. Don't worry, I'll come back to Chetvine."Isabelle refused to let it go. "Then, when will you be back? Half a day? One day? Two hours?" Andrew chuckled. "I can't say for sure. But it definitely won't be as short as what you're thinking."Emir scolded Isabelle. "He's going

    Brielle said with heartfelt relief, "Jerome, I'm truly grateful for the way you raised him. And Andrew's charm is something ordinary people can't compete with. Whether he was dealing with me or with peers like Eric, he always handled everything flawlessly and won everyone over."Jerome completely agreed. "That's right. Andy's charisma is absolutely undeniable. He has the natural presence of a leader."Those words made the two chiefs of the Lloyd family beam with pride.The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince was, to some extent, the family's signature. Now that Andrew was already the internal pick to become the Lloyd royal family's successor and next patriarch, they naturally loved hearing others praise him.It was as if their faces shone along with him."Mr. Thornton, Madam Baxter, come join us for a drink," one of the chiefs said with a cheerful raise of his glass.Brielle and Jerome hurried to return the gesture.The atmosphere grew warmer and livelier. As time passed, Amari showe

    Meanwhile, in one of the Lloyd family's grand hotels in Chetvine, Andrew stood up from the center of the table with a glass of liquor in hand. "Everyone, let's raise our glasses," he said, his smile confident.He added, "I didn't expect that after coming back to Chetvine, I'd be lucky enough to meet all of you. So let's down this in one shot, and from today on, we're all friends!"Isabelle cheered first. "Andrew, I don't want to be your friend, I want to be your girlfriend, cheers!"As she shouted, she drank most of her glass of strong liquor in one burning gulp.Emir glared at her. "Belle, you're supposed to be a lady. Who taught you to drink like that, and we're in the Lloyd family's hotel, so behave a little. You're a girl from the Robertson family, so have some manners. And what do you mean by being Andrew's girlfriend? He can dream on."Even though he scolded her, he could not hide the grin on his face as he tipped back half his own drink.Mylo was even more straightforward.

    Finnegan let out a sharp laugh. "Whether he meant it or not, his actions already showed it. According to what you told me, he's already with Luna, and as for you, you walked away with nothing."He shook his head and said, "Valerie, you're too naive. Andrew wasn't worth it, and the feelings you think you have for him were nothing more than an illusion. Trust me, what you felt was temporary and fake. The two of you barely spent any real time together. Yet you've convinced yourself that you fell for him, and that was a mistake."Valerie shook her head and said, "Back in the Eastern Regions, when Alfredo was chasing us, things were so dangerous that he told us to run first. I saw him covered in blood, but he still looked at me and smiled so gently when he called my name."She added softly, "Dad, that was the first time he said my name like that. I couldn't forget it after that." Finnegan replied coldly, "I told you already, it was your imagination. If you want a man, I can find you an

    Finnegan leaned back in his chair, his legs casually propped on the desk. When he heard her, he replied in a flat tone, "Who told you that? How come I don't know about it?"Valerie grew anxious and said, "Dad, don't lie to me. Tell me what's about to happen so I can warn Andrew ahead of time."Jose cut in with a light chuckle. "Ms. Reyes, what exactly is your relationship with Andrew? Are you planning to run off and snitch for him?"Valerie answered coldly, "My relationship with him has nothing to do with you. Don't tell me it's your people who are trying to kill Andrew."Jose nodded, then shook his head. "We don't really count. Besides, with the power we have right now, we still couldn't kill him even if we tried."Valerie pressed him further. "Then who is it?"Jose looked relaxed. "Who? Plenty. I can only tell you that you couldn't count them with both hands."Finnegan grew impatient and snapped, "Stop telling her things like that. Go back and tell Mr. Vazquez that the Reyes f

    The Reyes residence was quiet. In the small loft beside the garden, Valerie rested her chin on her hand as she stared blankly at the colorful flowers below. She wore a simple at-home outfit, and her eyes looked completely unfocused.Behind her, Elaine walked up with a worried look. She said gently, "Valerie, come inside and rest for a bit. You've been zoning out here for more than an hour."Valerie did not respond as she kept staring at the garden. The garden at the Reyes residence was not large, but it was filled with all kinds of rare, ornamental flowers that were carefully maintained.Elaine let out a helpless chuckle. "You shouldn't let Andrew mess you up like this, not to the point you can't eat or sleep. Valerie, this isn't who you are, and you didn't even like him at first. Everything started from a misunderstanding, and that night, you shouldn't have tried to take him out."She sighed again. "Honestly, seeing you like this, I'd rather you hate him than be this lost. This is
