Chapter 492
Lauren giggled. “You’re such a stereotypical guy, Dr. Lloyd.”
Shopping with a beautiful woman was always exhausting, and it proved no different for Andrew. Lauren’s shopping spree quickly loaded Andrew’s arms with bags until he could barely carry them all.
“I think that’s enough. I can barely hold any more,” Andrew said, overwhelmed.
Lauren tilted her head thoughtfully before saying with disappointment, “Fine… I wanted to look at suits and belts for you too, but I guess that’ll have to wait for next time!”
Andrew brightened up and asked hopefully, “Can we head back now?”
Waggling her delicate fingers, the young heiress laughed playfully. “No way! Shopping is exhausting, and I haven’t eaten yet. Come on, this restaurant is amazing. It’s my treat!”
Andrew could only smile wryly as he followed her into the restaurant laden with shopping bags. Just as they sat down, Donald called him.
Andrew found it strange to get a call from Donald at this hour. He answered irritably, “Mr. Warren, you better have a good reason for calling.”
Donald sounded extremely excited as he replied, “Mr. Lloyd, this is explosive, absolutely explosive! In all my years as Jayrodale’s police commissioner, I’ve never uncovered such a twisted, dramatic case!”
Andrew laughed and asked, “Oh? How dramatic is it? Do tell.”
Donald continued, “After my thorough interrogation, Brad confessed that Harvey ordered him to meet with Mr. Chapman. But that’s not even the biggest revelation – Brad dropped an absolute bombshell! Mr. Lloyd, you won’t believe this – Harvey has been having an affair with his stepmother, Serena. My goodness, Mr. Lloyd, isn’t this explosive? When this gets out, it’ll shake the entire Jayrodale elite society to its core!”
Andrew was somewhat surprised as he had not expected the Weller family to be involved in such a scandal. He had met Serena before at Natasha’s party in West End Manor, where she had been quite cozy with Michael.
Still, according to Donald, she was more complex than she appeared, having developed such a shocking relationship with her stepson Harvey.
Donald was clearly excited about these scandalous revelations and continued enthusiastically, “Brad said their affair isn’t even a secret within the Weller family anymore, and many people know about it. He also mentioned that Harvey and Serena might have orchestrated Kane’s death.”
Andrew’s eyebrows shot up as this jogged his memory. He remembered that Kane had been gravely ill but should not have died so suddenly. The worst part of his condition was that he had been poisoned with a toxic substance that had gradually seeped into his vital organs.
Andrew warned Kane about possible poisoning, but Kane did not listen and even suspected Andrew of having ill intentions. A few days later, his sudden death was announced.
At the time, Andrew suspected foul play rather than natural causes, but without evidence, and since it was a Weller family matter, he did not pursue it. Now, it seemed his suspicions were correct – Harvey had likely committed an unthinkable act to quickly seize power, killing his own father and then shamelessly carrying on an affair with Serena.
