Chapter 467

Aspen suddenly scoffed and mocked, "Andrew, if you think I’ll thank you, forget it! You didn’t get everyone’s money back out of kindness–you just wanted to impress me, didn’t you?"

Andrew chuckled and replied with only two words, "Brain-dead."

Aspen said dismissively, "No matter how hard you try to show off, your abilities are still worthless in Christie’s and my eyes. I bet Rodney only cooperated because you’re using Rhodes Corporation’s name to intimidate him!"

Andrew did not even bother responding and left with Francesca.

Christina exclaimed happily, "Aspen, whether it was Andrew’s doing or not, we can get that billion back now. That’s worth celebrating!"

Yet, Aspen’s face remained dark, finding little joy in the situation. The assault at Madblade Martial Academy would be a lifelong shame for her, though getting the money back was at least some consolation.

Stepping forward, Aspen demanded from Dean, "Now hand over the Bridgefields’ Stevens family’s billion, down to the last cent."

Dean rolled his eyes indifferently. "Sorry, but I haven’t seen your billion anywhere."

"If you’re returning everyone else’s money, why not mine?" Aspen frowned.

She felt insulted that she, a Stevens family heiress, was being treated worse than common people. Besides, Rodney was supposed to return everyone’s money.

Dean replied contemptuously, "These people got their money back because Mr. Lloyd specifically asked for it. He didn’t mention your money, and I’m not about to risk upsetting him by returning it without his say-so. Now get lost–you’re not getting a penny."

Dean’s condescending tone and sharp remarks hit Aspen like a slap in the face. The words stung so badly that Aspen felt her chest tighten, and for a moment, she thought she might actually pass out.

Everyone else was getting their money, except her–this was clearly a targeted insult.

Fury surged through her, and she nearly screamed in frustration. "Madblade Martial Academy, Rodney, Dean, and you, Andrew–you bastards, just you wait!"

Seething with rage, Aspen stormed off with Christina trailing behind her. She was done playing nice. This time, she swore to turn Jayrodale upside down in revenge.

Since arriving in Jayrodale, nothing had gone as planned for Aspen. She had faced setback after setback, lost all her investment money, and now suffered this humiliation.

For someone used to getting her way back in Bridgefields, this was an unprecedented series of defeats. The only solution she saw was to eliminate everyone who had humiliated her and earned her hatred.

Only then could she ease the burning shame and rage in her heart.

The next day, Andrew went to work as usual. However, his destination was Rhodes Corporation instead of Jayrodale General Hospital. He had already handled the paperwork at the hospital and transferred most of his responsibilities.

Once he finished helping Lauren resolve her troubles, Andrew planned to focus entirely on his new clinic. That would become his main territory rather than Jayrodale General Hospital.
