Chapter 1621
Everyone knew that a Rolls-Royce screamed status. Yes, it was outrageously expensive, the kind of price tag that made your head hurt just thinking about it. Nonetheless, that was exactly the point. It had to be expensive, or it would not highlight the prestige and high-profile status of its owner. These days, a car was not just transportation; it was your business card. People took one look at your ride and started sizing up your net worth without asking a single question. While Andrew did not need a car to show off his status, Duncan was a businessman—a shrewd one at that. Hence, he definitely considered these things. He said with a grin, "This second car, the pink Maserati, is perfect for a lady to drive! You can decide which of the three ladies gets it. This third car, the 911, is your personal ride, separate from the Rolls-Royce, which is more of a corporate vehicle!"He continued, "A man like you should drive a 911. The beautiful lines, the elegance, the roar of the eng

In front of Serenity Villa, Andrew crossed his arms and smiled as he asked the three women, "See anything you like? Go ahead and pick!" Lauren shook her head and replied, "I already have a car, and it's pretty nice, so I'll pass! Fran and Aspen, you two go ahead and choose!" Aspen said, "I have Andrew's Ferrari LaFerrari, which is already amazing. Fran, you pick!" Francesca's ride was a BMW sports car. It was not bad, but definitely not as high-end as Lauren's and Aspen's cars. Moreover, her job and income level meant she could not match what Lauren and Aspen made. Spending on a luxury car would really hurt her wallet. Looking at that Beetle now, she would be lying if she said she was not tempted. However, she felt embarrassed about it. Blushing, she glanced shyly at Andrew. Then, he finally shook her head. "These cars are gifts from the Irvings to you, Andrew. I can't take them!" Andrew pointed at the pink Maserati and said directly, "There's nothing wrong with taking

It was rush hour, so cars were hard to come by and traffic was jammed. Standing by the roadside, Christina kept checking her watch, worried about being late for work. Then, she spotted a beautiful sports car driving past. While trying to determine who owned this 911, she thought, 'Blumedale is really full of rich people.' She froze when she saw Andrew behind the wheel, driving with one hand. Christina quickly looked away and pretended to stare at the ground! Andrew stopped in front of her and asked flatly, "Waiting for a ride?" Christina stammered nervously, "Um... yes. One should be here soon... No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Lloyd!" Andrew chuckled and said, "I never said I'd give you a ride, Ms. Stevens. Don't flatter yourself!" With that, he hit the gas, and the 911 roared as it shot forward.Christina watched the sports car and its owner disappear into the distance before lowering her gaze with humiliation and bitterness. If she had made the right choice back then,

As he straightened his suit, Andrew slowly got out of his car. The young man was charging at him, full of fury, but Andrew did not bother exchanging words. His eyes flashed coldly, and he raised a hand, ready to slam that idiot's face into the back of the car. "Both of you, stop! Reckless driving and intentional collisions carry serious consequences!" Just then, the law enforcement arrived on the scene. Four officers jumped out of their cruiser, surrounding the two men with stern expressions. The punk clutched his bleeding nose and barked, "It was this son of a bitch! He started it! I'm Gary from the Hickman family. I'm on my way to meet Mr. Joe Driscoll, so you guys better handle this right." The moment he dropped Driscoll's name, the officers' expressions shifted completely. "Apologies, Mr. Hickman, we've reviewed the situation. You're not at fault. He is." "If you're in a hurry to meet Mr. Driscoll, go ahead. We'll take care of everything else." Their attitude did a

Andrew asked calmly, "So, even if you're innocent, someone with power can paint you as guilty, right?" The lead officer chuckled. "Didn't expect you to be so self-aware. But there's nothing we can do. You just don't have the kind of pull Mr. Hickman does. If you did have that kind of status, we wouldn't be able to touch you even if we wanted to." Gary smirked proudly. "In front of me and Mr. Driscoll, this punk is nothing. Officers, hurry up and take care of him. Maybe Mr. Driscoll will be kind enough to drop by and visit him in jail later." He scoffed. "Trying to steal Mr. Driscoll's woman? You're out of your league, loser!" Right then, Andrew pulled out his phone and made a call, totally unfazed. Seeing this, Gary could not help but sneer, "What? Planning to call for backup? Who the hell could you possibly call? Even if you brought the damn President here today, you still wouldn't get past me!" Andrew completely ignored this idiot, and once the call connected, he said fl

The Hickman family had connections with many powerful officials. However, Chantelle had never given a damn about the Hickman family. In her eyes, these so-called wealthy young heirs were just pests, nothing more than arrogant trash. Gary declared, "Fine, Ms. Garcia, since you're intervening, I'll swallow this insult! However, Mr. Driscoll asked to see Andrew!" As he spoke, he regained his confidence. He did not believe that Chantelle would dare ignore Joe's reputation. Chantelle frowned deeply and asked, "Mr. Driscoll wants to see Mr. Lloyd? What does he want?" Gary snorted coldly and replied, "How would I know what he wants? All I know is, this guy is going to see him, whether he wants to or not. If he tries to back out or chicken out, Mr. Driscoll will not take it lightly." Chantelle's expression became complex as she looked at Andrew and said, "I warned you before that playing with fire all the time would eventually burn you! Joe targeting you means the entire Driscoll f

Chantelle said, "Andrew, I'll wait for you to come back! Ever since you returned from that treasure hunt, we haven't had dinner together!" Stammering awkwardly, Chantelle felt embarrassed and deliberately avoided looking into Andrew's eyes. "Um, I want to personally cook you a meal!" Andrew honestly did not know what to say. If there were no outsiders present, he would have checked to see if Chantelle had a fever. Although this aloof woman's attitude toward him had changed significantly, offering to cook for him was definitely way out of her character. "Uh, alright, I'll definitely try your cooking when I get back!" Andrew nodded with a smile. Gary silently scowled, jealousy twisting in his chest. He found it impossible that Andrew had actually won Chantelle over. After all, she was the golden girl of the government, flawless, untouchable. Only someone like Joe should have been good enough for her. … Following Gary, Andrew arrived at a large martial arts club in Blumedal

The woman with wine-red hair stepped forward, looking at Andrew with complete indifference. "My name is Liliana Peck, and I own this club! Originally, you wouldn't be qualified to know my name, nor would you be qualified to set foot on my territory!" She continued, "But since Joe specifically asked for you to be brought in, I figured I'd at least be courteous enough to say it. And just so you know, if anything happens to you here, I don't care who comes knocking afterward. It won't matter." Behind her stood several fashionably dressed girls. As with most children of the elite, they were flawlessly dressed, glowing with wealth and vanity. They were fair-skinned, trendy, every outfit designer-labeled and curated for envy. One girl in a short skirt looked at Andrew with disdain. "Liliana, why are you even talking to him! He's just a clueless nobody. Once Mr. Driscoll gets here, he'll be on his knees crying before he even speaks." Another girl, wearing a leather jacket and heavy sm

Andrew finally came face to face with the so-called golden boy of the Driscoll family, who everyone raved about. He had to admit that Joe was pretty good-looking. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. His polished, aristocratic expression stayed frozen in a constant state of aloof detachment, the kind of poker face that did not impress Andrew at all. Nonetheless, for girls like Liliana, his appeal was devastating. All the spoiled brats moved aside to clear a path for Joe, and he walked up to Andrew. He did not stop until there was less than half a meter between them. Andrew remained calm, waiting for the other party to speak. Joe said flatly, "You're Andrew Lloyd, right? You're not worthy of Lauren!" It was a direct verdict. Andrew grinned and asked, "If you say so. Anyway, I guess I can leave now, right?" Joe frowned, but he did not say a word. Instead, the spoiled brats around them burst into mocking laughter. "What? Are you scared

Liliana thought it would be better to just take Andrew down directly, cripple his limbs, and then have the conversation. The others, like Leon and Gary, were also quite puzzled. After all, being so reasonable was not Joe's usual style at all. In the past, this golden boy of the Driscoll family never wasted more than three sentences on anyone. Instead, he would directly suppress them with his crushing force. But today, Joe's attitude toward Andrew was somewhat abnormal. Joe said, "Andrew, I want you to understand that my willingness to sit down and talk with you calmly doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!" Sitting on the leather couch, Joe crossed his legs with an icy and arrogant expression. Andrew nodded and said, "I can see that you, Mr. Driscoll, have your own pride and don't want to gang up on me. That shows you're not completely terrible as a person!" Joe sneered and replied, "I don't need your approval to feel good about myself. Frankly, someone like you would've ne
