Cedric said, "When it comes to holistic medicine and wellness, this person has made quite a name for herself. In fact, in the entire Gabo Creek region, she's renowned for her expertise in health and longevity." He added, "Many high-society women from Jayrodale line up just to seek her advice on beauty and anti-aging remedies whenever they get the chance." Andrew's face lit up. "A wellness expert? That's perfect—getting her to endorse our miracle drug would be an ideal fit." Cedric, however, frowned. "It's a good idea, but there are two major obstacles." "First, my old friend isn't very social—she prefers solitude and spends most of her time in The Southern Highlands. Over the years, plenty of wealthy elites and high-ranking officials have tried to meet her, but most never even get past her front door. "Second, her background is rather unique—she isn't exactly someone from 'our world.' If you wanted to consult her for wellness knowledge, I could arrange that, but getting her t

However, Andrew had overestimated Michael's driving skills. Once they left Jayrodale and hit the winding roads toward The Southern Highlands, Michael miscalculated a sharp turn and scraped the car against the guardrail. Luckily, he hit the brakes in time. Andrew stepped out to inspect the damage and found only a minor dent—not enough to affect the car's performance. Michael climbed out of the driver's seat, looking annoyed. "Damn it! These roads are absolute garbage. Why don't they just widen them or make the turns less sharp?" Andrew shot him a glance. "Oh? So instead of admitting you suck at driving, you're blaming the roads?" Michael stiffened and huffed. "Am I wrong? If these roads were as wide as the city highways, I wouldn't have hit anything!" Andrew let out a cold laugh. "By that logic, if I were your dad, does that mean I could smack you upside the head right now?" Michael's expression immediately darkened. He did not dare talk back—out in the middle of nowhere lik

Aspen, who was behind the wheel, glanced at Michael with a cold expression. "Oh, it's you, Michael. I have to ask—why the hell were you standing in the middle of the road like a damn utility pole? Trying to get yourself killed?" Michael exploded. "Aspen, you're the one trying to get yourself killed! You hit me—pay up!" Without hesitation, Aspen pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and casually tossed it onto the ground. "There. Take it and go get yourself checked out, Michael." Michael stared at the bill, his fury skyrocketing. "You bitch! How dare you humiliate me? Do you have a death wish?!" He lunged at Aspen from behind, raising his leg to kick her. However, Aspen was no ordinary woman—she was a junior grandmaster at her peak. Without even turning her head, she sneered and swung her elbow back in a ruthless counterattack. Her strike landed squarely against Michael's face, sending blood spurting from his nose as he crashed to the ground, groaning in pain. Aspen shot him a lo

Andrew frowned slightly. First, he had run into Aspen and Christina on the road. Now, at the monastery, he had to deal with Harvey. This trip was shaping up to be more trouble than expected. Still, he had already come this far—there was no turning back. Besides, he was not the type to be intimidated by anyone. Meanwhile, outside, Michael had managed to clean himself up a bit using the creek water. As he stepped into the monastery, his expression was full of resentment. "Andrew, you trying to kill me or something? If anything happens to me, neither Lauren nor you will get out of this alive!" Andrew sighed in annoyance. "Relax. If I really wanted you dead, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds. Focus. The Wellers got here first, and it looks like they're trying to win over Master Shiloh. We can't let that happen." The moment Michael heard Harvey was here, his eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his fists and snarled, "That bastard? Perfect. I've been waiting to settle the sco
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 798
Andrew spoke clearly, "Master Shiloh, I hope you won't refuse our request. Please come down from the mountains and endorse our two miracle medicines." Behind the sheer curtain, there was only silence. Harvey sneered. "Andrew, do you really think someone like you has the ability to convince Master Shiloh to leave her retreat? What a joke. "In Jayrodale, countless wealthy elites, high-ranking officials, and socialites have tried to invite Master Shiloh into the business world, and none have succeeded. Do you think you, of all people, have what it takes?" Andrew remained calm. "Harvey, you talk as if you've succeeded where I've failed. Master Shiloh is a woman of wisdom and purity, living above the corruption of the world. "Meanwhile, you—the infamous head of the Wellers—are nothing but a degenerate, a disgrace. Honestly, the fact that she hasn't damned you straight to hell is already a mercy." For once, Michael was on the same page as Andrew. He pointed at Harvey and quickly

Andrew shook his head and mocked, "Christina, I swear, you're getting dumber by the day. But then again, this isn't surprising. Everyone from the Stevens family is the same—I've gotten used to it." Aspen let out a cold laugh before turning toward the curtain with a respectful tone. "Master Shiloh, it's been a long time since we last met. But please be careful—both sides here are dangerous. One is the Wellers, a family with no morals, full of filth and deceit. "The other is the Rhodes—and this Michael is a known arsonist. He's just as rotten as Harvey, nothing but trash." She cast a frosty glare at Andrew, adding, "And as for Andrew, you must be especially wary of his smooth-talking ways—don't let him fool you. "He's a manipulative fraud. In Jayrodale, he's infamous for being a gold-digger. First, he climbed his way up by leeching off Christina, then he latched onto Lauren Rhodes and Francesca Aicker like a parasite. "In short, he's not only a scumbag, but he's also dangerousl
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 800
Harvey was the first to react, his face lighting up with excitement. "Master Shiloh, your wisdom is truly admirable—I have nothing but respect for you! "My father always spoke highly of you, believing you to be a person of true integrity, untouched by wealth or status. You seek only peace and harmony with nature, remaining above worldly desires." He continued, "That's exactly why the Wellers need someone like you. Please rest assured that if you join us, we will treat you as an honored guest. "You will have the full resources of the Wellers at your disposal. With our platform and influence, you can spread your teachings on holistic wellness and healing to benefit countless people. Whatever you need, the Wellers will provide—without hesitation!" Behind the sheer curtain, Shiloh let out a soft hum, neither agreeing nor rejecting. Harvey, however, felt a surge of excitement. She had not refused, which meant he had a real shot. To him, Shiloh was not just a wellness expert—she w
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 801
Michael was getting anxious. Both the Stevens and the Wellers had already made their moves, yet Rhodes Corporation was still sitting on the sidelines, doing nothing. Desperate, he quickly said, "Master Shiloh, as long as you're willing to step in and support Rhodes Corporation, we're willing to offer you a deal that will guarantee your complete satisfaction!" Behind the sheer curtain, Shiloh remained silent, as if she could not be bothered to acknowledge him. Harvey laughed loudly and said, "Michael, with your kind of reputation? You're a criminal—one who's committed arson and murder. There's no way Master Shiloh would ever entertain the likes of you. You can forget about trying to win her over. Rhodes Corporation should give up on this pipe dream!" Even Aspen and Christina sneered at Michael. At this point, it was clear that Shiloh would only consider working with the Wellers or the Stevens. They believed Rhodes Corporation, Michael, and Andrew had no shot because Shiloh's c

Andrew waved a hand dismissively. "I don't have time to explain everything to you, and even if I did, you wouldn't understand it anyway. You just need to know this—if you want to save your father, then do exactly what I tell you to." Logan looked uncertain and shot a quick glance at Chantelle as if to ask, "Who is this guy you brought along, and what's with the ego?" Chantelle's face darkened. "Mr. Keller, this man is Andrew Lloyd—he came at Mr. McCormick's recommendation. But honestly, you don't have to take him seriously. Just carry on with your own plans—ignore him." However, Logan shook his head and turned toward Andrew. "Dr. Lloyd, go ahead. Tell me what you need. As long as it'll help my father, I'll make it happen." His respectful tone stunned Chantelle. She wondered if Logan was out of his mind for believing Andrew just like that. Andrew smiled. "My request is actually pretty simple. If I'm going to treat your father, I expect to be compensated. So, I want access to al

Chantelle could not lash out, so she gritted her teeth and quickly followed behind. Inwardly, she made a mental note to report this arrogant clown to Derek later. To her, Andrew was reckless, so full of hot air, and completely unworthy of trust—nothing but a showboating jester. … Inside the main hall of the Keller residence, the place was packed with people coming and going. A group of specialists and renowned doctors stood gathered, their brows furrowed as they exchanged anxious whispers. One commented, "Mr. Keller Senior's condition is strange—truly bizarre!" "Exactly. His entire face is paralyzed. Even his tongue won't move. He can't swallow even a spoonful of medicine!" Another chimed in, "And the worst part? No one can get within three feet of him. The second anyone tries, they get attacked—some left with cracked skulls, others… well, some didn't make it." "Jeez! That serious? Who would dare try to treat him now? No matter how much the Keller family is offering, it's no

Chantelle was behind the wheel while Andrew rode along in the passenger seat as they headed out to treat Derek's old friend, George Keller. The atmosphere inside the car was tense, with Chantelle's resting expression as frosty and detached as ever, her face practically carved from ice. Andrew was not the kind of guy to throw warmth at a wall of cold, so he simply stayed quiet, staring out the window at the passing streets. After holding back for a while, Chantelle finally could not resist and let out a mocking laugh. "Mr. Lloyd, what a clever move—create your own mess, then try to get Mr. McCormick to step in and clean it up for you. Don't you think you're playing with fire?" Andrew smiled. "Playing with fire? Nah, I don't see it that way. At this point, I'm pretty much one of Mr. McCormick's trusted men. So if the little guy's getting targeted, doesn't it make perfect sense for the boss to step in and fix it?" Chantelle was momentarily stunned before letting out a scoff. "An

Derek said coldly, "These elite families and old-money clans have been feasting off Blumedale like it's their private banquet. They think they can gorge themselves for life, rule without question, and remain unchallenged. "But as long as I'm the one calling the shots in this province, they don't get to do as they please!" Chantelle was startled. She had not expected Andrew to actually ignite Derek's fury. She silently cursed, 'This idiot is already useless on his own, and now even worse, he's using Mr. McCormick as his shield? It's despicable!' Derek turned to Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, don't worry. Those arrogant bastards—I'll handle them and make sure you get justice. But the reason I brought you here today is something more urgent. There's a matter I need your help with." Andrew lifted a hand and said, "Mr. McCormick, say the word. If I can help, I will." Derek nodded. "Here's the situation—an old friend of mine suddenly found himself fighting for his life. We've brought in nearly
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 1124
Andrew said indifferently, "I was just being honest. I don't see how that counts as a joke. And besides, didn't you dress up to please Mr. McCormick's eyes?" Chantelle, who usually stayed cool as ice, immediately felt her temper flare. "You…" Andrew could not be bothered to deal with her. Without waiting for any announcement, he pushed open Derek's office door and swaggered in. "Uncouth brute…" Chantelle gritted her teeth and followed behind him with a scowl. Derek's office, just like his reputation, was simple and understated. Aside from two traditional landscape paintings and a few framed family photos, Andrew did not see a single decorative item inside. "Mr. Lloyd, you're here—please, have a seat!" Derek stood up with a warm smile the moment Andrew walked in. Andrew chuckled. "Mr. McCormick, you're the top official in Gabo Creek Province. If you're personally welcoming me, I might start getting a big head. You go ahead and sit—I'll manage just fine." Derek took his sea

The red Ferrari sped down from the mountaintop of The Sovereign Residences, tires slicing through the breeze with precision. Aspen sat in the passenger seat, hesitating for a while before finally speaking. "That Xavier… turns out he's Seth's older brother, and even worse—he's a full-blown colonel. Andrew, a colonel in the military is basically a god to most people. You'd better… watch your back." Andrew hit the brakes and stopped right in front of the gated entrance of The Sovereign Residences. He turned with a grin. "Aspen, are you worried about my safety?" Aspen scoffed, gritting her teeth a little. "Worried is a stretch. I'm just giving you a heads-up. And don't act like it's nothing. We haven't even cleaned up the mess with Seth and Mr. Parks." She added, "And now you've provoked the Haywoods' golden boy too? All I can say is—way to add fuel to the fire." Andrew said flatly, "One loser or 100 losers, there's no real difference." At that moment, the two martial arts guard

Ethan refused to let it go. He pointed at Andrew, cursing under his breath. "Kid, I'm not gonna stoop to your level. But if I actually wanted to deal with you, you wouldn't even live to see the sunrise tomorrow. You better believe that." Xavier stepped forward and looked down at Andrew with a calm, superior gaze. "I can see you've got some skill. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to stand up to my younger brother, Seth. "But here's a word of advice—you've made too many enemies. And your attitude? It's practically begging for trouble. Sooner or later, it'll catch up to you." Andrew raised a brow. "So that scumbag Seth is your little brother, huh? That means you're from the Haywoods." Although Xavier tried maintaining a cool, aloof front, a hint of arrogance still slipped through his mask. "I'm the eldest son of the Haywoods. Go ask anyone on the streets of Blumedale—see if there's a soul who doesn't know the name Xavier Haywood." Andrew shook his head. "Sorry, but I'm not

Andrew replied coolly, "Alright, fine. I did do it on purpose. But the only reason I chose the room next to yours was so it'd be easier for you to wake me up in the mornings. Nothing more—so don't go overthinking it." Aspen crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh. "You think I'm buying that?" Andrew shrugged. "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. Even if I asked you to warm my bed at night, would you dare say no?" "You…" Aspen was instantly at a loss for words. Her cheeks turned pink as she silently fumed. She was sure that the bastard Andrew was still lusting after her body. Andrew seemed to read her mind and scoffed, "You dumb woman. Don't flatter yourself. Do you really think the only reason I went through the trouble of snatching Serenity Villa from Zachary and picked the room next to yours was just to sleep with you?" As Aspen let out a sarcastic chuckle, Andrew headed downstairs, adding, "I did it because you're weak. If you got yourself killed because of on

Aspen ran through every room and checked out the front and back of the house. By the end of it, her legs were sore. Even so, instead of feeling tired, her delicate face was lit up with excitement and wonder. "Hey, this place is hands-down the best, fanciest, and most expensive location I've ever seen in my life!" she said, rubbing her aching calves while smiling up at Andrew. Andrew replied casually, "Judging by that smile you can't wipe off your face, I'm guessing you're falling in love with it?" Aspen pouted. "Saying I'm not would just be lying to myself. Serenity Villa is clearly the kind of estate that money alone can't buy. A place like this… I'd say only the top families in Blumedale are worthy of it." Andrew let out a dismissive snort. "Don't put those so-called Blumedale elites on a pedestal. Serenity Villa isn't some heavenly paradise. Just remember—the view from the top is always the most breathtaking. And Blumedale in Gabo Creek Province? That place barely makes it t
