โMr. Lake, please teach me. Whatโs the solution?โ the young disciple asked.
Mosby grinned darkly. โSimple. Let them die.โ
At The Sovereign Residences, Andrew pushed open the door to Aspenโs room only to find it empty. He turned sharply, frowning. โDidnโt I tell you guys to keep an eye on Aspen? I said donโt let her jump off the damn building!โ
Dylan gave an awkward laugh. โCome on, Mr. Lloyd, isnโt that a bit dramatic? I really donโt think sheโs that unstable.โ
Andrew sneered. โSays the guy whoโs still single at your age. Figures.โ
Dylan blinked. โExcuse me?โ
What happened to having a normal conversation? Did Andrew have to aim straight for the personal wounds?
Still, Andrew could not shake the worry gnawing at his chest. He really was concerned that Aspen might have done something reckless. That woman had always been a little unstable, and the stuff that happened between them in the car recently? Yeah, not exactly therapy-approved.
If Aspen got caught in a spiral and decided to jump from a building or into a river, that guilt would land squarely on his shoulders. He pulled out his phone, ready to call herโonly for it to start ringing first. Aspen had beaten him to it.
โCome to the office,โ her voice snapped. โSomeone from the Wrights is here, making a scene.โ
Then, without giving him a chance to reply, the little brat hung up on him. Andrew let out a cold laugh.
So, Christina had gone crying to Quinton after what happened at Phoenixdream Enterprisesโplaying with wolves like that? She was bound to get bitten eventually.
Ten minutes later, Andrew arrived at Supreme Capital Group. He scanned the roomโno Christina or Quinton. The only ones present were Aspen and a tall, ice-cold woman with a face that screamed, โIโm better than you.โ
Andrew sized her up instantly. Another heiress from one of those high-ranking families, carrying herself like the world owed her something just for existing.
โSo youโre the owner of Supreme Capital Group?โ she asked, her tone sharp and mocking. โThe guy who made my brotherโand even the Haywoods and the Goldingsโlook like amateurs?โ
Andrew didnโt flinch. His face remained expressionless. โYeah, Iโm Andrew Lloyd. And you are?โ
The woman extended her hand. โYara Wrights. Quintonโs sister. Well, half-sister, to be exact.โ
Andrew gave a flat reply. โMs. Wright, letโs stick to business. Iโm not interested in your family drama.โ
Yara retracted her hand with poise. โI only brought it up to make one thing clearโIโm not on Quintonโs side.โ
Andrew raised a brow but said nothing. He turned to glance at Aspen.
Chapter 1229
Aspen looked uneasy and muttered, โMs. Wright didnโt come here to pick a fight, it seems. She came to talk businessโฆ with you.โ
Andrew was caught off guard. โBusiness?โ
He turned back to Yara, who had just crossed the room and seated herself without invitation. She casually crossed her long legs, putting them on full displayโher sheer black stockings extending all the way up, and those tiny shorts doing little to hide anything.
From the right angle, anyone could see straight into her most private territory, not that she cared. She sat facing Andrew, completely unbothered, and said coolly, โThatโs right. Iโm here to discuss a partnership, Mr. Lloyd.โ
Andrew narrowed his eyes. โWhat kind of partnership? Letโs hear it.โ
Yara paused for a moment, then spoke without a shred of emotion. โA joint ventureโฆ to kill Quinton. Tell me, Mr. Lloydโwould you be interested in that sort of project?โ
