Chapter 2154
Terror Town was the biggest metropolis in the east of Holtrien. At the international airport, Andrew and the two women stepped off the plane, where Chantelleโs family was already waiting.
โElle, youโre finally back! I missed you so much!โ A stylish and well-dressed woman rushed forward.
Chantelle hugged her tightly and laughed. โMom, Iโm home.โ
Beside her stood more than a dozen members of the Garcia family. Among them were Chantelleโs father, Patrick Garcia, her sister, Cassandra, and her brother-in-law, Carlos Watts.
Andrew could clearly feel all their eyes sizing him up, though he did not care and waited for Chantelle to make introductions.
Natasha had already left ahead of them, as she was familiar with Terror Town. She told Andrew not to worry about her. She would handle her business with the Langley family first, then return to find him.
Andrew was not concerned about her safety since the Langley family was Natashaโs family. Since she obviously did not want to discuss it much, Andrew respected her privacy and did not pry further.
At that moment, Chantelle made the introductions. โMom, Dad, Cassie, Carlos, this is Andrew Lloyd, my boyfriend!"
โAndrew, these are my parents. Thatโs my sister, Cassandra, and then my brother-in-law, Carlos Watts!โ
Andrew stepped forward with his hand extended. โMr. and Mrs. Garcia, Mr. and Mrs. Watts, itโs a pleasure to meet you!โ
Patrick shook his hand with a smile. โWelcome to Terror Town!โ
Chantelleโs mother, Sofia Underwood, was more critical as she looked Andrew up and down coolly. "Lloyd? From what I know about Blumedale in Gabo Creek Province, the Lloyd surname isnโt exactly from a prominent family, is it?โ
Andrew smiled pleasantly. โActually, Iโm not originally from Blumedale.โ
Sofia frowned. โSo youโre saying youโre from some small town in Gabo Creek Province then?โ
Chantelle scolded her gently. โMom, if you want to learn more about him, letโs wait until we get home! This is an airport, so please donโt be so aggressive!โ
Sofia gave a final sharp remark. โI raised a daughter for almost 30 years. Honestly, handing her over to someone else just like that doesnโt sit well with me. Of course, I want to know everything clearly.โ
Andrew stayed polite and calm. โMrs. Garcia, your concerns are valid, and I completely understand. Since weโre here, I donโt mind giving you a little bit of insight.โ
Sofia gave a cold chuckle. โInsight? Do you have any idea what kind of status the Garcia family holds in Terror Town?โ
Andrew shook his head and kept his harmless smile. โI donโt know what the Garcia familyโs standing is in Terror Town, but I do know very clearly what my standing is in Gabo Creek Province.โ
Carlos, sharp in a tailored suit and tie, smirked. โOh? Sounds pretty arrogant. Why donโt you tell us what kind of influence you actually have there?โ
Andrew grinned. โInfluence is nothing worth bragging about. Iโm just the so-called King of Gabo Creek, thatโs all.โ
Carlos froze for a second before bursting into laughter. โDad, Mom, did you hear that? This guy just said heโs the King of Gabo Creek! Thatโs hilarious!โ
He kept laughing. โAll Iโve ever heard about Gabo Creek is the Three Titans families. King of Gabo Creek? Elle, the boyfriend you brought back sure loves to tell tall tales!โ
Cassandra tugged on Chantelleโs arm and whispered sharply. โElle, why did you bring someone like this home? You know how much Mom and Dad care about these things, especially Momโฆ She bragged for weeks in her social circle that you were bringing back a wealthy, educated young man from a prestigious family.โ
She glared. โAnd now? You show up with someone whoโs either delusional or a shameless braggart.โ
Chantelleโs face darkened. โAndrew is not lying. He is, right now, the ruler of Gabo Creek, in both the underworld and the upper circles.โ
Carlos snorted, ready to argue, while Sofiaโs brows arched sharply, about to unleash her temper.
Finally, Patrick cut them all off. โEnough. Elle finally brought her boyfriend home. Letโs go back first and celebrate properly.โ
