Author: Only For You
Andrew shook his head. "Don't waste your time trying to dig into my background. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Chantelle let out a cold laugh. "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, that's a bit much. You think I can't find out? Unless you're from one of Holtrien's top-tier noble families or one of the nation's real powerhouses—the kind who sit at the top of the decision-making pyramid—I can and will dig up your history."

Andrew replied coolly, "Alright then, here's a little hint. I used to serve in Holtrien's military. If you want to investigate, be my guest."

Chantelle froze, and her eyes widened in shock. "Military? You were in the armed forces?"

Andrew corrected her without hesitation. "Not a soldier—I commanded them."

That shut her up immediately. Her stunned gaze locked onto him. She paused for a second, then asked more urgently, "Wait, seriously? You led troops? Then that must mean… your rank wasn't low, was it?"

After all, there was a massive difference between serving

    Andrew felt nothing but indifference in his heart. While Kevin wanted to take him out, he had long been planning to destroy the head of the Wrights himself. Since Kevin chose to toss away what little was left of their so-called brotherhood, Andrew saw no need to hold back either. If the treasure hunt gave him the right opportunity, he would gladly erase Kevin from existence. Once he returned to Blumedale, it would be time for Yara to rise to power. From that point on, the Wrights would essentially be working for him. Of course, Andrew knew he could not let his guard down around Yara either. It was not about being overly paranoid—it was simply the reality. After all, Yara was not truly one of his people. A woman's heart was a fickle thing, especially when she got a taste of power. Who could say for sure that if Yara managed to rise to the top, she would not turn around and stab him in the back? … The next day, Kevin called again, urging Andrew to bring the completed map fr

    What made it even more satisfying was that all three women belonged to Andrew. Andrew said, "That's right. I was just wondering if I should take you guys treasure hunting! But once the treasure is uncovered, there's bound to be conflict and danger. You probably already know why." Lauren, ever understanding, nodded. "Andrew, we get it. Bringing us would only add to your burden, so we'll just wait at home for you to come back." Francesca added, "I know where I stand in terms of my martial arts skills. So this time, I'm sitting out too—I don't want to drag you down." However, Aspen looked conflicted. She stared at Andrew with big, hopeful eyes, clearly wanting to go, though she did not say a word. Andrew took a moment to think before responding, "Lauren, Fran, you two should stay home. I won't let you put yourselves in danger. "As for you, my little servant, I'll respect your choice. Your martial arts have already reached the senior grandmaster level. To regular folks, you're

    That evening, Lauren drove her pink Maserati, Francesca took her BMW sports car, and Aspen brought her Ferrari as all three returned to Serenity Villa together. The luxury vehicles created quite a display in the driveway. "I'm exhausted! The workload at Blumedale Hospital is so much more than when I was in Jayrodale!" Francesca complained nonstop as soon as she walked through the door. Lauren smiled brightly. "Aspen, you went for yoga again? Oh my goodness, your figure now is making me so jealous!" Francesca nodded enthusiastically. "Seriously! I noticed it too. And Aspen, you in yoga pants? Total knockout. Especially that perky little butt of yours—it's practically begging to be smacked." Aspen yelped, flustered and blushing. "Oh, stop it, both of you! Compared to Fran's chest, I've got nothing going on. And Lauren's waistline? Deadly. Every time Andrew is done with you, he's holding onto the wall like his soul left his body." Francesca blushed even harder, pouting. "All I'

    Logan said, "Freya's a great choice. If you agree to just one date with her, I'll even let her stay out all night." Andrew frowned. "What exactly are you implying?" Logan smirked. "Do I really need to spell it out?" His look was full of scheming mischief, the kind every experienced man would understand in an instant. However, Andrew still shook his head. "Sorry, not happening." Logan groaned. "You're seriously turning this down? Andy… are you telling me you're not up to it? I swear, Freya is every bit as stunning as the three beauties you've got here in Serenity Villa. "Bring her home, and you've got your own private paradise. A man surrounded by beautiful women, living the dream!" Andrew rubbed his temples. "Logan, I've said it before—the Keller sisters are indeed beautiful. However, relationships between men and women are about fate and mutual affection. "If all you're chasing is some cheap thrill below the belt, then what's the point? Doesn't that feel empty to you?"

    After Chantelle left, Andrew immediately made a call and asked Logan to come over. When it came to Derek, Andrew had revealed the existence of the treasure out of personal interest, hoping to leverage government power and gain the upper hand in the race ahead. However, with the Keller family, Andrew had a different motive. George had handed him the chairmanship of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce without hesitation, a gesture that showed extraordinary favoritism. Andrew believed in repaying loyalty, and combined with their recent interactions, the Kellers had earned his genuine recognition and acceptance. Those who earned his acceptance often received benefits far beyond their expectations—colossal benefits. Sure enough, when Logan rushed to Serenity Villa and heard about the treasure from the Fallen Crimson Dynasty, he was completely stunned and thrilled. "Andy, the Kellers have to be part of this. This kind of opportunity could redefine our family's fortune for the nex

    Chantelle explained further, "Over the years, Rafael's wealth has grown incredibly fast, and one of his major income sources is dealing in antiques and rare treasures from ancient Holtrien. Whenever that guy sets his eyes on something, you can bet it's the real deal." Andrew frowned. "Selling off Holtrien's cultural relics like that is a serious crime. Hasn't the government tried to intervene?" Chantelle shook her head with frustration. "We've tried intervening, but it hasn't been very effective. Rafael has specialized contacts abroad, and they're no small players either. "Most importantly, he's extremely skilled at the antique, tomb raiding, and treasure hunting business. Our famed military unit, The Predators, has raided him several times but never caught him red-handed." Andrew said firmly, "Then this time, the government should definitely step in. I just don't think treasures left behind by our ancestors should fall into the hands of someone like Rafael." Chantelle gave
