Chapter 1116

The moment Zachary spotted Andrew, his face lit up, being all friendly. However, he bit back the title “General” at the last second, settling for “Mr. Lloyd.”

Beside him, Ruth bowed her head respectfully, “Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Stevens.”

Andrew smirked. “Zac, you’d better not be overselling this house of yours. I’ve got high standards.”

Zachary hurriedly said, “Mr. Lloyd, I swear on my life. If my villa isn’t the crown jewel of The Sovereign Residences, you can toss me off the balcony. Many have been eyeing it, and even Xavier Haywood–that ‘Unbeatable Warlord’ of theirs–has been frothing to buy it for years.”

Aspen could not help but ask, “Mr. Fischer… We just saw a tall colonel enter with Ms. Phelan. Was that Xavier?”

Zachary nodded. “Most likely. He must’ve found out I was coming today and decided to show up first.”

Seeing Zachary’s frown, Andrew raised an eyebrow. “Is this a problem for you? If it’s inconvenient, we can look elsewhere.”

Zachary snorted. “That Haywood brute isn’t worth worrying about! I just didn’t expect Ms. Phelan to be here too. Seems she’s also after my Serenity Villa.”

Aspen quickly waved her hands. “Then forget it, Mr. Fischer. You should just give the house to Ms. Phelan.”

Zachary replied coolly, “If Mr. Lloyd weren’t here, I might have yielded to the situation and let the Phelans have it. But since Mr. Lloyd wants it, it doesn’t matter who wants it. Ms. Phelan can find somewhere else!”

Aspen was stunned speechless, wondering if Andrew truly held such weight in Zachary’s eyes that was enough to make him dismiss even Luna without a second thought.

Soon, the four of them made their way to the summit of The Sovereign Residences.

It was Aspen’s first time stepping inside such an opulent place, and she could not help but marvel at everything along the way. Andrew, however, remained completely unfazed, casually chatting with Zachary.

At the mountaintop, Xavier, Luna, and their group were already waiting for Zachary’s arrival. The moment they spotted him approaching, they immediately came forward to greet him.

“Mr. Fischer, you simply must hand over Serenity Villa to me today. Name your price–I won’t even blink.” Xavier chuckled as he spoke, his words light but edged with steel.

Zachary replied indifferently, “My apologies, Colonel Haywood, but Serenity Villa already has another buyer.”

Just as Xavier was about to demand who would dare challenge him, Luna, who had been watching Andrew step out of the car, frowned in distaste and said coldly, “Andrew, do you really have nothing better to do than follow me around? You might not realize it, but I find men like you–utterly lacking in class–disgusting.”

Xavier also turned his gaze toward Andrew and sneered, “Enough is enough, Andrew. You’ve been scheming to follow Ms. Phelan around–don’t you realize how shameless you’re being? You should know your place.”

Andrew frowned. “What are you talking about? My being here has nothing to do with Luna. I came to look at a house.”

The moment these words left his mouth, Luna visibly froze. Then, she let out a derisive laugh and shook her head, thinking it was a ridiculous excuse.

Xavier, meanwhile, wore an expression of amused contempt. “Do you even understand what it means to own property at the peak of The Sovereign Residences? Let me put it bluntly—you probably couldn’t afford a single tree here.”

The other wealthy men in their entourage burst into mocking laughter, piling on the scorn.

Then, everyone heard Zachary speak. “Mr. Lloyd is the buyer of my property.”
