Chapter 2155
Sofia muttered reluctantly, โWhy shouldnโt I bring it up? Sheโs my daughter. If her mother doesnโt question the man she chose, then who will?โ
The Garcia family had several luxury cars lined up, but on the way home, Andrew and Chantelle rode in one by themselves.
โPeople always say folks in Terror Town are picky, pretentious, and high-brow. Seeing it today, Iโd say thatโs pretty accurate,โ Andrew said with a smile.
Chantelle gripped his hand, her face full of apology. โHoney, once weโre home, Iโll explain your identity to them clearly. Iโm sorry for the way my mom treated you. Honestly, sheโs just vain and materialistic. She wanted me to find someone more impressive than Carlos.โ
Andrew raised a brow and asked, โIs he really that impressive?โ
Chantelle shook her head. โNot really. Heโs from a local family here in Terror Town, worth a few billion, and heโs an only child, so heโll inherit it all. He also runs his own company here, which is why he acts like heโs untouchable.โ
Andrew shrugged. โSo heโs just a small-time player. Donโt worry, I wonโt stoop to his level. But that only applies up until now. If he dares challenge me in your house, Iโll make sure he regrets it.โ
Chantelle gave a bitter smile. โI knew bringing you back would cause waves. Your temper is something my family definitely wonโt be able to handle.โ
Andrew snorted. โYour family was acting all high and mighty first, looking down on me like theyโre better than everyone.โ
Chantelle suddenly grinned. โThen, honey, can you do me a favor?โ
Andrew looked confused. โWhat favor?โ
Chantelle clenched her fist and swung it lightly. โHelp me slap some sense into my family, especially my mom. To be honest, after working with Governor McCormick, Iโve seen a lot, and I canโt stand the fake attitudes of people here in Terror Town. My mom and Carlos are prime examples. Even if theyโre family, I just canโt stand it. So this time, I want you to crush their arrogance for me.โ
Andrew stared at her. โYouโre serious?โ
Chantelle blinked. โOf course I am!โ
Andrew pinched her cheek with a grin. โThatโs my darling! Always on my side. It makes me want to spoil you even more.โ
Chantelle looked blissful. โYou know, itโs strange. With you, I feel myself becoming softer and gentler. Maybe thatโs the change love brings to me.โ
Before long, they arrived at the Garcia residence.
Though the Garcia family was only considered a third-tier family in Terror Town, even third-tier here meant serious money and influence. They were far above third-tier families elsewhere, but Andrew disliked their pretentiousness and false pride.
As soon as they entered, Sofia cornered him again. โAndrew, you said earlier youโre not from Blumedale in Gabo Creek. Let me warn you firstโฆ If youโre from some small town, youโre not worthy of Chantelle!โ
Andrew chuckled and replied calmly. โDonโt worry, Iโm not from a small place. My family is from Chetvine, right next to the grand palace there.โ
Sofia froze, shocked. โAre you serious?โ
Andrewโs face stayed steady. โAs real as it gets. If you donโt believe me, you can ask your daughter. Or better yet, just call Governor McCormick yourself. Youโd believe his word, wouldnโt you?โ
Sofia was left speechless. Andrewโs move was too sharp and unexpected. Everyone knew that families near the palace in Chetvine carried weight far beyond what a Terror Town clan could compare to. After all, no matter how powerful the local elites were, they still had to bow to the capital.
