These people also knew that before Andrew left Jayrodale, he had already fought his way across the city, leaving no rival standing. None of the great families in the city had dared to lift a finger against him.
Now that he returned, he carried himself with surprising humility.
โMarvin, letโs skip the small talk. Youโve been here in Jayrodale long enough. Come to Blumedale,โ Andrew got straight to the point.
Marvinโs hand froze while pouring tea, unable to believe what he heard. โMr. Lloyd, youโฆโ
He quickly stopped himself and waved his hand, shooing away all the other people out of the room. Then, he turned to Andrew, his voice trembling with excitement.
โMr. Lloyd, are you planning to reveal your identity and directly confront those in Chetvine?โ
Andrew nodded calmly. โYes. The time has come. Itโs time I went back and faced it.โ
Marvinโs eyes filled with tears of joy. โGood, thatโs wonderful! In that case, staying here in Jayrodale would be pointless. Wherever you want me to go, Iโll go. Iโll follow all your arrangements!โ
Aspen quickly handed him a tissue. โMr. Yates, wipe your tears. Donโt get so worked up.โ
Marvin glanced at her with a smile. โMiss, youโre blessed. Not only you, but even your Bridgefield family will rise to the heavens with him. Being with Mr. Lloyd means that even if you never give him an heir, youโll still be treated like a queen.โ
Aspenโs face turned scarlet. โMr. Yates, youโre being inappropriate!โ
Marvin chuckled. โIโm not exaggerating. Becoming the wife of the Lloyd family heir isnโt easy. The family is huge, and when Mr. Lloyd takes over the entire Lloyd royal line, youโll be expected to bear many children. Donโt think youโll get away with less than ten!โ
Aspenโs face went pale at once. She knew childbirth was painful, and the thought of giving birth to ten children terrified her.
Seeing her panic, Andrew sighed helplessly. โDonโt listen to this old man. Heโs just trying to scare you.โ
Aspen finally breathed easier, though the thought of having Andrewโs children still left her blushing furiously.
Andrew sipped his tea and did not waste time. โMarvin, wrap things up here within three days and head to Blumedale. If necessary, move the entire company there. Let your subordinates manage the business here.โ
Marvin nodded. โDonโt worry, Mr. Lloyd. Iโll arrange everything properly. Although the business isnโt huge, thereโs still quite a bit of money. This will all be for your wedding expenses and reception costs in the future! Since Mr. Lloyd Senior isnโt handling things now, I can only worry about these matters for you!โ
Of course, he was referring to Andrewโs father, Reginald.
Andrew patted his shoulder and laughed. โMarvin, donโt work yourself so hard. Take a break! In the future, Iโll handle my own affairs, and you can just enjoy your retirement!โ
Marvinโs face twisted. โForget it. Iโve been a servant of the Lloyd family all my life. Neither your father nor you has ever been easy to look after. How could I stop worrying now?โ
Unable to put up with Marvinโs nagging, Andrew eventually excused himself. His next stop was the Moonlit Apothecary, the very first business he had founded in Jayrodale.
