Author: Only For You
Ruby's gaze lingered on Troy with a mix of pity and ridicule. She said, "Mr. MacAfee, some things can't be forced. A man's body doesn't lie. Once age catches up with you—and especially if you've overindulged in wine and women—it's no use pretending. When it stops working, it stops working."

Troy roared in frustration. "No! My heart still burns with passion! I'm still ready for battle!"

Ruby let out a light laugh. "Ah, but your weapon is rusted and brittle. It's no longer fit for combat. Tell me, how can a knight without a proper sword hope to ride onto the battlefield?"

Troy slumped on the bed, looking like the life had been drained out of him. He could not stand it—he was sitting in front of a feast, yet his body refused to let him enjoy it. No matter how much his pride resisted, his body's limits were absolute.

Pulling his clothes on hastily, Troy muttered, "Baby, give me a few days to recover, and we'll go again. I promise—I'll make you beg for mercy next time."

    Melvin frowned. "Mr. Orben, why are you acting out as well? The Webster family is a respected household, so I suggest you take back what you just said." Theon straightened his posture and said seriously, "Mr. Webster, I wasn't joking. I truly wish to marry Ms. Webster, and you should know that I'm more than qualified for it." Melvin gave a short, cold laugh. "You may be qualified, but my sister already has feelings for Amari. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you." Still refusing to give up, Theon frowned. "Mr. Webster, in most cases, a lady's marriage is decided by her family. Shouldn't it be up to you and Mrs. Webster Senior to decide who Ms. Webster marries?" Melvin replied calmly, "Exactly. And I've already decided that she will marry Amari." Helda smiled and added, "I couldn't be happier to see my children blessed with this kind of fate. I fully support it; it's a joyful match for everyone." Theon stomped his foot. "Hold on! Mr. Webster, Mrs. Webster Senior,

    Amari and Madeline were finally together. Seeing how hard it had been for them to get there, both of them broke down in tears. Andrew could tell Amari had suffered a lot while living with the Webster family, yet he never said a word about it. Maybe every adult had their own pain they could not talk about, and Amari, being older now, was even less willing to open up—even to his senior. Mikayla couldn't take it anymore and turned to Theon. "Mr. Orben, there's no point staying here any longer. Why don't we just leave?" Theon's face twisted in rage. "Leave? You want me to walk away after being humiliated and trampled on by Andrew again?" Mikayla gritted her teeth. "There's nothing we can do. The moment he showed that token, the Webster family's stance became unshakable. That token must mean something serious, so there's no need for us to stick around and embarrass ourselves." Theon's eyes turned dark. "Embarrass ourselves? I don't think so." Mikayla noticed the strange look in

    Theon's face twisted with rage. "Did you not see what happened? That bastard Andrew ruined our plans again! He's done it over and over. I've had enough!" Mikayla quickly stepped in. "Mr. Orben, please, let me handle this. Let me try to reason with them." Amari scoffed coldly before finally sitting back down. Mikayla then turned toward Helda and said respectfully, "Mrs. Webster Senior, may I have a word?" Helda smiled warmly. "Go ahead, Mikayla. I'm in a good mood today, and you can say whatever you want." Mikayla nodded. "Mrs. Webster Senior, I think there's been some misunderstanding here. First of all, Andrew's claim that he once helped the Webster family, but there's no actual proof. He could've just heard some rumor and used it to gain your sympathy and gratitude." Helda paused and looked toward Andrew. However, Andrew did not even flinch. He simply said, "Mrs. Webster Senior, she must've been dropped on the head as a child. I don't feel like wasting my breath on her.

    Andrew spoke coldly. "Why keep fooling yourself? Not only was I part of that organization, but I was also the one who led the team that protected your entire family on their way to Chetvine. "So, to me, you're nothing. And that's not an insult; it's the truth. If I ever wanted to destroy you, whether it was back then or now, no amount of power or position could've saved you." All the color drained from Melvin's face. His knees gave out, and he fell to the floor, trembling. Then, with a loud thud, he slammed his forehead to the ground. "So the young man who saved us on that road back then… that was you. It was you all along… I was blind, truly blind! Mr. Lloyd, the Webster family has owed you for years, and today…" Andrew lifted his hand, cutting him off. "I wasn't planning to bring up the past. I left that organization long ago. But your arrogance and stubbornness are hard to stomach. Now that everything's in the open, do what you think is right. And don't say I bullied you.

    Melvin raised his hand and sneered. "Everyone, step back. I want to see what he's going to do. Andrew, if you've got the guts, then kill me right now." Andrew's lips curled into a cold grin. "Killing you wouldn't be hard. But today, I don't feel like it. Everything you said comes down to one thing: your arrogance. You look down on Amari, don't you? But Amari isn't who he used to be. And with me as his senior, what gives you the right to look down on him?" Melvin replied, "So what if you're here? What difference does that make?" Andrew lifted Melvin off the ground. Staring into his terrified eyes, he growled, "Listen carefully. You're sitting in that position today partly because of me. When Mr. Vazquez called for a vote to decide who would take that seat, Philip from the military, my father, and I all voted for you. "But the major families and several of Mr. Vazquez's people were strongly against it. You've spent years trying to figure out who helped you back then, haven't you

    Melvin finally found a way to step down without losing face. He gave a sharp snort, flicked his sleeve, and said nothing more. Theon sneered at Andrew. "Coward," he muttered, thinking Andrew had actually backed down. He had expected Andrew to strike against the Webster family. Honestly, he had been hoping for it. That way, the Websters would have every reason to ban him forever. But seeing Andrew yield was unexpected, almost disappointing. Only Mikayla seemed to notice something different. She realized Andrew had done it on purpose to give the Webster family a way to save face. Since he was thick-skinned enough not to care about embarrassment, he had actually handed them a favor in disguise. 'That damn man! He really knows how to play the game,' she thought bitterly. Helda finally spoke up. "Andrew, you said you came to propose on Amari's behalf. Do you even realize how foolish that is?" Andrew shook his head calmly. "Mrs. Webster Senior, I don't think it's foolish at a
