Chapter 1732
Andrew said it without even blinking. Sure enough, Victoria burst out laughing. "Really? You really think I'm not old?" Andrew nodded and replied, "Not at all. You're incredibly young and beautiful." With a bashful smile, Victoria let out a playful hum. "You smooth talker… but I have to admit, I love hearing it! Andrew, how about I marry Liliana off to you? Don't worry, it's not to trap you into anything. It's a reward!" Andrew quickly waved his hands. "I can't accept that. I really can't. First of all, your daughter and I already have some misunderstandings. And second, I'm taken." Victoria gave a cold little laugh. "Oh, I know you're taken. I just don't care. You're the heir of the Lloyds, a future power player in one of the biggest dynasties! It'll be more unusual if you don't have a few women around you." Andrew opened his mouth to protest again, but Victoria raised a hand to silence him. "Don't be so uptight, acting like a shy little boy. Learn a thing or two from Re
Chapter 1731
Victoria's cheeks flushed crimson, and she looked utterly embarrassed and ashamed. She raised her hand as if to strike him, but then lowered it again. She gritted her teeth as she said, "You little bastard, you've been keeping this pretty well hidden! Why didn't you tell me earlier that your father is Reginald, and let me make a fool of myself?" Her heart pounded uncontrollably as she recalled all the things she had said and those exaggerated gestures she had made. Even at her mature age, she could not stop the wave of heat rising to her face or the strange, complicated feelings churning in her chest. Andrew rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "I didn't want to bring up my dad at all. I didn't want to trigger your resentment or make things worse, but you seriously crossed the line, so I had no choice." Victoria let out a frustrated laugh. "So you're Reggie's son. Even if I'm angry with you, I wouldn't have the heart to lay a hand on you. No wonder when I first saw you, I was so

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Andrew firmly declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mrs. Peck, but I find your proposal absolutely ridiculous!" He could already see the same madness in Victoria that Tiana had shown before. No doubt, her outrageous request stemmed from two things. First, like Tiana, if not worse, Victoria was the kind of woman who wielded power without caring about norms or taboos. Keeping a man like a pet was something she did without a second thought. Second, she clearly saw Andrew as a replacement for his father. And that was both understandable and utterly twisted. "So you're saying no to me?" Victoria asked coldly, her smile vanishing. Andrew's tone remained steady. "Yes, I'm saying no. Mrs. Peck, I'm not the kind of man who does things casually. What you proposed wasn't just inappropriate, but it crossed a line." He added, "You're a senior. I'm the younger one here. We're generations apart, and we have no emotional connection whatsoever

Victoria gave a mocking laugh. "No wonder Tiana's into you! You really are a smooth-talking, cunning little thing. Tell me, did she give herself to you yet?" Andrew frowned. "Mrs. Peck, what exactly are you implying?" Victoria smirked. "Exactly what it sounds like. Has that bitch Tiana been keeping you as her little boy toy? All that talk about treating you like a beloved son-in-law—I don't buy it for a second. Knowing her and how shameless she is, I'd bet anything she made you her personal plaything." Andrew's face darkened. "Mrs. Peck, I suggest you watch what you say. Mrs. Rhodes is my mother-in-law—nothing more, nothing less. And let's be clear, I'm not some plaything you women can toy with on a whim. "I don't care if it's my mother-in-law or you, if either of you push me too far, I'll push right back. I don't care if you're older or a woman." Victoria froze for a second. The sudden burst of defiance and raw presence in Andrew reminded her of someone from long ago, someo
Chapter 1728
If the person behind the curtain had been just some ordinary woman or a man, Andrew would have shattered that veil and gone straight into a full-blown fight. Yet, this was different. This was Reginald's former lover, the matriarch of the Peck family. Andrew was not some ill-mannered person, and he could not just pounce on her. That would mean he really needed to see a doctor about having some kind of complex. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed. With both of them being top-tier fighters, their clashing energies created a surge of force that blasted through the room. The silk curtains between them could no longer withstand the pressure and were ripped to shreds. Victoria shouted urgently, "You little bastard, turn around. I'm not dressed!" Andrew sneered. "After all that? Mrs. Peck, do you really think I'm going to fall for that?" Without even glancing at the bed, he thrust his palm forward and kicked off the edge of the bed, dragging the chair he sat on backward across the floor
Chapter 1727
Rounding the screen, Andrew stepped into a room that oozed classic elegance and femininity. Everything inside, from the painting to the curated instruments and decor, spoke of refined taste and artistry. A soft purple veil hung from the canopy over the bed, trailing to the plush carpet below, completely obscuring what lay behind it. Victoria's voice came from inside again. "Mr. Lloyd, please find yourself a place to sit!" Andrew replied, "Mrs. Peck, this is your private chamber, and I think it's best I remain standing. I only came by to pay my respects. If you're feeling unwell, I can always return another day." A melodious laugh rang out, and Victoria's voice turned teasing from behind the veil. "Aren't you being all respectful? I'm guessing that bitch Tiana taught you to do this, right? Let me guess… She not only taught you to be well-behaved and keep a low profile in front of me! "She also told you that I'm a shameless flirt, a woman who only knows violence and nothing e
