Jasper had the kind of face that looked agreeable from every angle, always smiling like the perfect good-natured gentleman. In powerful families, people like him were the most welcomed, since they could handle matters inside and outside without ever being a thorn in anyone's side. Lucian, however, was the opposite. His massive frame and bulging muscles strained against his suit, and his presence was overwhelming, even larger than Henry's. His sharp eyes gleamed like a predator's, though his voice came out surprisingly calm. "An honor, Mr. Lloyd. I've heard of you for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet you. Now that I see you, it's clear you're a young hero. At your age, I wasn't even a tenth of what you are." Andrew replied flatly. "Mr. Fischer, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary man." Lucian nodded. "Henry has mentioned you often. He said you're amazing in both wit and courage, and that even in desperate straits, you show incredible willpower and boldness.
Chapter 2037
Aspen wore light, elegant makeup on her face. Her beautiful hair was pinned up high, revealing her snow-white and slender neck. Except at home or around familiar people, Aspen rarely spoke, and with Andrew deliberately shaping her into a cold, untouchable presence, her aura felt even more distant.Aspen脸上，化着淡淡的素雅妆 Other than the occasional moment when she poured Derek a drink or greeted the heads of major families, she hardly smiled. Yet, the colder she seemed, the more eager the tipsy scions and young men who had just returned to Blumedale came to strike up conversation. Yet, whenever one of them tried, Aspen shut it down with a single line. "I already have a husband, and he's also my boss. His name is Andrew Lloyd." The name crushed every fantasy in an instant. No matter how cocky or self-important they were, each man immediately backed down, apologized, and slunk away. After all, only a fool would try to hit on the woman of the man who had just destroyed the Driscoll fam

Watching Andrew walk away like that, Miles and Liliana were left feeling completely helpless. They wanted to step forward and say more, but they were afraid of making Andrew angry. "Miles, he doesn't want to," Liliana said uneasily. "Do you think it's because I offended him before? Maybe that's why he dislikes me and refused our suggestion." Miles gave a wry smile. "Liliana, it probably has nothing to do with you. Mr. Lloyd may be our age, but the things he's accomplished and the way he carries himself are far beyond us. Don't worry, he won't hold petty grudges against you." Liliana frowned. "Then why won't he at least think about it? Mom's charm is undeniable, and half the men in Blumedale would line up to marry her if they could." Miles shook his head. "Mr. Lloyd is probably too principled for that. It makes sense because he's just not the type of man to do something like this. It's only a shame for Mom, since she lost her martial strength and was betrayed by Dad." He sighe

Liliana said awkwardly, "Well, it's really not that important… Mr. Lloyd, I'm not good with words, and I'm afraid I'll say something wrong, so maybe I should let Miles speak instead." Andrew immediately looked toward Miles, waiting quietly for him to continue. Miles opened his mouth, then closed it again, as if gathering tremendous courage before finally speaking up. "Mr. Lloyd, Liliana and I have made a decision! P-Please become our stepfather!" Andrew's mouth twitched uncontrollably, thinking there must be something wrong with his hearing. "What did you say? Miles, could you please repeat that?" Since it was already out, Miles no longer held back. "I said we'd like you to be with our mom. It's obvious she cares about you. She's lost her martial strength, and though she puts on a happy face, Liliana and I know she spends her nights restless and staring into the dark. The only time her eyes light up is when you're around." He continued, "We both know she's barely had a s

Zachary explained, "Now the Southern Martial Union is in complete chaos. This has led to signs of unrest within our own Gabo Creek territory as well." Andrew remained silent. Without a leader to maintain order in the Southern Martial Union, it would be strange if chaos did not break out. However, these were not problems he could manage, nor were they his responsibility to worry about. Keeping his own territory secure was enough for now. After letting Zachary do whatever he pleased, Andrew walked to the lawn behind Serenity Villa. He said, "Victoria, go inside, it's cold out here." Victoria was strolling in the back with Miles and Liliana, and she lifted her face with a faint smile as she shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm fine. You should go in… Today's guests are important, and you're the star. This is the time to build your reputation and network, so don't waste it." Andrew chuckled. "Victoria, being King of Gabo Creek really doesn't suit me." She grew serious. "Fool

At this point, looking across Blumedale, Andrew had already taken off." The Haywoods were filled with gloom from top to bottom. Xavier remained silent for a long time, his face dark with frustration. If even the Driscolls had been wiped out, then what chance did the Haywoods have against Andrew? To press on blindly would only lead them to the same fate. Aidan let out a heavy sigh. "That's it, it's all over now. Xavier, you'll go in person to congratulate Mr. Lloyd. And take our family's gift with you. Make sure the gesture carries weight." Xavier's voice shook with anger. "But Father, what about the grudges, the humiliation he put on the Haywoods. Are we just going to let that go?" Aidan answered calmly. "What choice do you think we have? Right now, not just us, even the Phelans and the Fischers probably couldn't do anything to him. The wise adapt to the times. For the sake of our family, swallow the past and act like it never happened." Xavier's lips trembled. "I-I ca
