Chapter 1421
George hissed, "Your pride should come from your abilities and your intelligence, not from riding on the family name or my name, walking around with your noses in the air!" He slammed his hand on the desk, making everyone jump. "Right now, I'm still alive and can keep things in line, but someday, I'll be gone! And when that day comes, if you're still acting like spoiled brats who think you're better than everyone else, then all three of you are going to crash and burn!" The Keller sisters fell silent instantly, but their faces were red with indignation, clearly showing how furious they were. They could not understand why their father would say such harsh things out of nowhere. Did he really favor Andrew that much? Was he really so eager to hand over his three daughters to some outsider? Emily's jaw tightened as she argued defiantly, "Dad, maybe you're right, maybe we're blind! But there's one thing I refuse to accept!" George's stern face remained unmoved as he let the bu

Logan whispered, "Andy, let me quietly fill you in on everyone here! That guy over there is Mr. Stein from Prima Group—he's worth over 50 billion! "And that one is Mr. Drache, Blumedale's connection between the legitimate and underground worlds—he's got enough pull to summon martial kings! "See that flashy socialite? Her husband was in the jewelry business, but he's dead now, and she inherited his assets worth hundreds of billions. She's one of the most powerful people in the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce!" In the grand conference room of the Keller residence, well-dressed men and women continued to filter in and out. Andrew and Logan sat tucked away in their corner spot, watching the steady stream of Chamber of Commerce members arrive. Logan kept up his running commentary, introducing each influential figure to Andrew. Honestly, Andrew was not particularly interested. After all, it was just a meeting; no matter how high-ranking or wealthy these people were, he had seen it

Emily, Freya, and Hannah smiled as they stepped forward with their own birthday gifts. The attendant announced, "From Ms. Emily, an original oil painting by Elias Greaves; from Ms. Freya, a rare medicinal pill from Mistveil Peak; and from Ms. Hannah, a string of sanctified prayer beads, blessed by the Grand Sage of the Solace Abbey!" They could have given these gifts to George privately earlier. However, they deliberately waited until all the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce members were present to make their presentation. First, it demonstrated the three daughters' affection for their father in front of everyone. Second, it was meant to pressure Andrew and show him what standards he was expected to meet—even casual gifts within the Keller family were beyond what ordinary people could dream of affording. George's usually stern face softened slightly as he looked at his three daughters' gifts. "You girls are so thoughtful!" Hannah pouted playfully, "Dad, aren't you going to ask

Emily and Freya chimed in with matching smiles, "Hannah is right, Dad! Open it up so everyone can see! Everyone else's gifts are out in the open, and we're all curious about what's in that little box!" George hesitated for a moment, "There's really no need for that, is there? Andy's thoughtfulness is what matters—whatever he gave is perfectly fine with me!" Duncan laughed mockingly, "Mr. Keller Senior, you can't say that! The Keller family's reputation is on the line here. If it's some cheap junk you can buy anywhere, I suggest throwing it straight in the trash. Otherwise, it'll just be an insult to you!" Both Duncan and the Keller sisters were clearly hoping to see Andrew humiliated in front of everyone. George glanced over at Andrew with an apologetic smile, "Andy, would you mind if we showed everyone? You're not bothered by that, are you?" Andrew appeared completely unfazed, "The gift belongs to you, so whether you show it or not is entirely up to you! Though I'd suggest

Hannah might have been spoiled and scheming, but even she did not dare to underestimate Andrew anymore. Her eyes darted around as she thought he was seriously loaded with all kinds of amazing treasures. Maybe if she reluctantly agreed to be his girlfriend, she could make a fortune off him. Meanwhile, George waved his hand with obvious satisfaction, clearly delighted by the turn of events. "Alright, let's wrap up the birthday celebration! Now it's time to discuss the real business at hand! "I'm sure you all know that I'm planning to step down from my position as Chamber of Commerce chairman! However, I've been struggling to decide on the right nominee for quite some time!" The moment those words left his mouth, Duncan and Emily practically shot their hands up simultaneously. Duncan declared, "Mr. Keller Senior, though I may be unworthy, I humbly accept the burden you've carried. From this day forward, I will devote myself entirely to the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce—with

In the back, Andrew could not help but shake his head. Emily was turning into a second Christina—blindly arrogant with excessive self-confidence. He thought this brutal slap in the face was inevitable. Meanwhile, Duncan appeared to be yielding but was actually advancing silently, having already secured his alliances like the cunning old fox he was. Emily did not have even the slightest qualification to compete with this seasoned manipulator. "Ms. Emily, you can see the situation for yourself!" Duncan's cane rested casually across his knees as he spoke with mock regret. "It's not that I won't step aside for you, it's just that this is the will of the people, and I'm being forced into this position against my wishes!" He laughed, but his eyes held no warmth whatsoever. Instead, they were filled with nothing but contempt and ice-cold calculation. If George were not sitting there protecting her, he would have already slapped this naive little girl across the room. Not only would

Emily was not the only one devastated and humiliated beyond belief. Even Freya and Hannah's faces were burning hot with embarrassment. Today, all three had been shamed in the most spectacular way possible. At this moment, George finally spoke up, "Emily, all three of you sit down now! I gave you the opportunity, but as you can see, you couldn't seize it!" Emily was unwilling to accept defeat but felt completely helpless, so she could only sit there with red-rimmed eyes, silently fuming. Duncan sensed his moment had arrived and stood up leisurely, adjusting his suit collar with practiced confidence. He laughed and said, "Mr. Keller Senior, I will certainly continue your bold and fearless leadership style in the chairman position! I also thank everyone here for your generous support!" A series of applause erupted from below, all coming from Duncan's supporters who were celebrating their anticipated win. When the applause died down slightly, George chuckled softly, "Duncan, you'

Amid all this mocking laughter and sarcasm, Logan's face gradually darkened with anger. Meanwhile, Andrew himself remained completely unmoved by the ridicule. George pressed his hands downward to quiet the room, "If everyone's done laughing, please settle down!" The crowd gradually stopped their laughter, but the contempt and dismissiveness in their eyes remained clearly visible. George continued calmly, "I think Andrew is perfectly suited to take over my position. Anyone who disagrees can speak up directly!" Duncan was the first to respond, "Fine, Mr. Keller Senior, you obviously favor this kid, and we can't argue with that! But I have just one question—what qualifies him for this position?" George grinned. "What qualifies him? I honestly don't know myself." Then, he turned toward Andrew. "Andrew, why don't you tell everyone yourself?" Andrew sighed with resignation, "Mr. Keller Senior, maybe you should find someone else for this Chamber of Commerce chairman position."

Andrew nodded thoughtfully. "That does sound decent enough! But compared to me, you're still lacking in many ways!" Duncan exploded with rage. "Andrew, stop spouting nonsense! Lacking in many ways? Then tell me exactly what qualifications you have to compare with my family!" Andrew snorted coldly and spoke with measured calm, "In martial arts, I could destroy your entire family with one hand—does that count as a qualification? Experience? Ha! That's never been about age or how long you've been around! "Having real strength and getting things done—that's what experience truly means! As for reputation, I wonder if being the Grand Medical Summit champion and currently Blumedale's most sought-after figure gives me enough standing to compete with you?" Duncan's expression finally changed. It shifted from arrogance to wariness, then to explosive anger. This damned kid was clearly determined to fight him for the Chamber of Commerce chairman position. The other members also became

Duncan sneered with contempt. "Andrew, you're still not giving up even now! But what exactly are you going to fight me with?" Andrew did not even glance at Duncan, instead sweeping his gaze across everyone else in the room. Then, he spoke coldly and deliberately, "Ladies and gentlemen, you're all smart people! I assume none of you would refuse an opportunity to make serious money! "I won't go around talking to each of you individually, as that would be too much trouble! Anyway, my two miracle drugs are about to go into production right here in Blumedale! From manufacturing to sales, then expanding production and more sales… "The scale of this entire supply chain operation is massive, and I don't need to spell out how big! I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in partnering with me on this venture?" As soon as those words left his mouth, several pairs of eyes immediately brightened and fixed on Andrew with obvious interest. However, his cards were not limited to just this
