Chapter 1436

Andrew raised an eyebrow. Among the Keller sisters, Freya was the only one he found remotely tolerable. He said, “Ms. Freya, you’re too kind. I’m just a nobody, not worthy of an apology. Anyway, I’ll be on my way.” Without saying more, Andrew turned to leave.

However, Hannah suddenly stepped forward, flashing a flirtatious smile. She purred, “Mr. Lloyd, I just wanted to apologize for being rude earlier. How about we exchange contacts? I’ve got a party coming up and I need a plus-one… though you could be my boyfriend for the night.”

She even grabbed the hem of her dress and twirled it coyly, trying to act like a bashful girl next door.

Yet Andrew only felt nauseated watching her performance. Of the Keller sisters, Hannah was the most two-faced and scheming, and he had absolutely no interest in women like that.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested in pretending to be your boyfriend. Besides, I already have girlfriends. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

After rejecting her, Andrew got into a cab and left without looking back.

Hannah stomped her foot and shouted, both embarrassed and angry. “Ugh, so what if he knows a bit of martial arts and got elected Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce? It doesn’t make him some big deal!”

She huffed. “He’s acting like I was actually into him or something. What an arrogant jerk!”

Logan sneered. “If you weren’t into him, then good. Because clearly, Andrew’s not into you either.”

Hannah pouted. “Logan, why are you taking his side? He’s not even family!”

Logan shot her a cold look. “You better remember something, Hannah. Andrew isn’t just some outsider anymore. Right now, he’s the one running the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce, and you better start showing some respect. Even the Irvings mean nothing in his eyes. Do you really think he’d ever notice you if it weren’t for the Keller name?”

Hannah clamped her mouth shut, her teeth grinding in frustration. Her face twisted between humiliation and unwillingness to accept it.

Emily let out a conflicted sigh. “We really misjudged him. We should’ve just listened to Dad in the first place.”

Hannah shot her a mocking look. “Are you regretting it now? Falling for him already?”

Emily flushed with anger and shame. “You’re the one in love with him! I just think… we may have screwed this up.”

Freya bit her lip and turned to Logan. “Logan, I want to add Mr. Lloyd on social media. Can you send me his profile?”

Emily and Hannah immediately turned to stare at her, their expressions weird and guarded.

Was Freya seriously trying to make a move behind their backs? Suddenly, both Emily and Hannah felt a jolt of panic.

There was no way they would let Freya get ahead of them. So, they rushed in, talking over each other.

“We want to add Mr. Lloyd too!”

“I’m sending him a pic of me in a bikini!”

“Hannah, have you no shame? Then, I’m sending him a selfie from the hot tub!”

“Please, you’re the shameless one! Fine, I’ll send him a sexy photoshoot!”

Meanwhile, not far from the Keller residence, one more person had yet to leave. It was Rachel, whom Andrew had slapped earlier. She had stayed behind, originally hoping to watch Duncan put Andrew in his place.

Instead, she witnessed Duncan nearly get killed.

“Drive,” she muttered to her driver. As the car pulled away, she slumped back in her seat, pale and trembling.
