Lauren let out a bitter laugh and nodded. "Alright, I'll drive you both to the hospital! If we wait any longer, Leroy might not make it!" Christina was overwhelmed with gratitude. "Thank you, Ms. Rhodes, thank you so much!" After hesitating for a moment, she approached Andrew and bowed her head low. "Mr. Lloyd, thank you as well for saving us siblings! If it weren't for you, Leroy might have been beaten to death by that monster Quinton!" Andrew sneered coldly. "Funny, I remember the Stevens family being all cozy with Quinton not too long ago! Mrs. Stevens regarded him as her son-in-law, and Leroy kept calling him 'brother-in-law'! What happened? Those titles suddenly lose their magic?" Christina dug her nails into her palms, feeling the sharp pain pierce through her. "Our family was blind and foolish—We deserve everything that's happening to us." She continued, "Oh, and Mr. Lloyd… Quinton came after me because of you. Looks like he's trying to force your hand. He apparently n

Seeing the blush on Yara's face only gave Andrew a headache. He simply said, "Alright, enough. Let's talk business first. You asked me to come here, and whatever you've got might actually be useful." Yara knew she could not push too far. After all, Andrew was not the type of man who let women manipulate him just because they batted their lashes—unless, of course, she could one day get him by the balls. She began, "Remember when your little maid Aspen got kidnapped? That whole thing was orchestrated by my brother, Quinton—he was the one who joined Mosby and Rafael to make it happen." Andrew's eyes narrowed. "So I was right. Quinton really is in bed with those two." Yara recalled something and continued. "He came to me and asked me to beg you for help with something. He didn't specify what exactly, and I didn't ask." That made something click in Andrew's mind—Christina had said the same thing earlier. So, what exactly was Quinton after? Then it hit him: the treasure map. T

Andrew took one glance at the screen and immediately lost interest—it was one of those over-the-top drama series full of catfights and betrayals set in an ancient royal palace. … Serenity Villa was huge, with over 20 rooms. Andrew picked one to use as his alchemy room. Then, he locked himself inside all night, crafting several types of elixirs he might need later. The treasure map pieces were all collected, just waiting for the Rhodes family fragment to reveal its true form—then the real hunt would begin. Outwardly, Andrew had been playing it cool, watching from the sidelines. But in truth, much like Tiana, he never planned to let Rafael and Mosby dominate the game unchecked. However, Andrew differed from Tiana in one key aspect. Tiana simply coveted the treasure, while Andrew did not want to see Rafael and Mosby succeed. Plus, he also owed it to Ronan and Janice to bring justice. By the second half of the night, Andrew had nearly finished preparing all the elixirs he woul

At that moment, Andrew and Dylan had indeed arrived at the Wright estate. Dylan chuckled and said, "You know, my mom's side is also Wright. So why is there such a huge gap between me and their Wrights?" Andrew joked, "Maybe you Wrights and Quinton's Wrights were the same family 500 years ago! Why don't you try claiming some family connection?" Dylan pulled a face. "Mr. Lloyd, even if we were family five centuries ago, that's not gonna help me now." Andrew laughed. "Then stop daydreaming and enjoy your regular life. When you've seen more of the world, you'll realize that the Five Apex Families aren't as untouchable as they seem. "Holtrien has tons of wealthy families. The truly top-tier elite clans and noble houses—those are the ones really worth looking up to!" Dylan nodded seriously. "I believe it. As long as I stick with you, Mr. Lloyd, I'll see it all someday." Soon, the two were seated in the grand hall of the Wright estate. Kevin sat across from them, his face dark

Tora let out a cold snort. "Even if Mr. Quinton has been coming here often, it doesn't automatically mean he's colluding with Grand Viper. The Wrights' real enemy is Grand Viper, not Mr. Quinton." Andrew nodded in agreement. "I get where you're coming from, Tora. The Wrights have a clear target—Grand Viper. You don't want to provoke Quinton unnecessarily, right? But Kevin, Tora, I suggest you both prepare yourselves mentally. "It's very possible that Rafael is actually the mastermind behind everything. Quinton and Grand Viper? They might just be pawns he's using to bring the Wrights down." Kevin clenched his jaw. "The Wrights and the Driscolls have never had bad blood. What reason would Rafael have to mess with us? He's got nothing to gain." Andrew gave a cryptic smile. "That's the thing—we just don't know. Everyone knows Rafael has a reputation for greed, and he's notorious across Blumedale. Who knows? Maybe he's got his eye on something valuable that belongs to the Wrights.
