Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Aspen knew that Ronan charged a reasonable medical fee, and his medical skills were also quite good.

Andrew started the car and sped off while answering casually, "I met Mr. Bates by chance. Showed him a few tricks, and he was so impressed by my skills that he practically worships me now. He even offered to introduce me to his granddaughter."

Aspen let out a sharp laugh. "Just met by chance, and he's ready to hand over his granddaughter? Come on, if you're going to brag, at least make it believable!"

Andrew just smiled, not bothering to argue with her. He and Ronan had bonded over their shared passion for medicine-it was nothing unusual.

In truth, after witnessing Andrew's medical skills firsthand, Ronan nearly dropped to his knees, begging to become his disciple, though Andrew firmly refused.

And yes, Ronan did have a granddaughter who was currently attending college.

Ronan had hinted that if Andrew did not already have a girlfriend, he should consider his granddaughter.

Andrew, of course, brushed him off. He was not about to fall into the same trap again.noveldrama

Back in Jayrodale, Cedric had almost trapped him by dangling his busty, baby- faced granddaughter in front of him.

Here in Blumedale, Andrew was not about to let history repeat itself. Francesca had already dragged him deep enough once, and it had been a damn miracle he had pulled himself out.

If Ronan's granddaughter were anywhere near as dangerous, Andrew knew he would be finished.

...

The red LaFerrari roared once before pulling smoothly to a stop in front of a company building.

Andrew looked up and raised an eyebrow, mumbling, "Phoenixdream Enterprises... sounds kinda familiar."

Aspen replied coldly, "Davon Parks-the one who used to hang around Seth-is the VP here. He's the one who set up today's meeting."

Andrew nodded and followed Aspen upstairs.

Davon was still the same-greasy, overweight, and nearly bald. As soon as he spotted Andrew, he rushed over, bowing and nodding so fast it was a wonder his head did not fall off.

"Mr. Lloyd, what an honor! You're really gracing Phoenixdream Enterprises with your presence today!"

Andrew gave him a half-smirk. "Davon, tone it down. You're laying it on so thick it's making me uncomfortable. You sure you didn't just call us here to hit on Aspen again?"

Davon let out a high-pitched yelp,

nearly tripping over himself. He wiped the sweat off his forehead frantically and stammered, "M-M Lloyd no way! Even if you gave me a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare think like that! I swear, today's meeting is all about business. Nothing else!"

Andrew's smile cooled into a faint sneer. "I gave you a chance before, and you

blew it. If you're not serious this time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Davon practically collapsed from fear. "Mr. Lloyd, I swear, I even pulled a few extra partners together for you! We've taken care of every need you might have for that big government project Supreme Capital Group secured! If you're not happy with anything, I with personally cut off my manhood!"

Andrew snorted. "I'll believe it for now. But if you screw up, don't bother cutting anything off. I'll have my guys tear you apart instead."

Davon's face twitched uncontrollably, and his smile looked more painful than

anything else. He did not dare get cocky in front of this demon.

Andrew had casually wiped out Seth from the Haywoods without blinking, and nothing ever came of it.

Among the so-called partners Davon had arranged, he spotted a familiar face— Christina.

Aspen saw her too, and her face immediately turned icy cold. Without hesitation, she turned to Davon and said sharply, "Get that woman out of here. Supreme Capital Group doesn't do business with bitch." Content S belongs to
