Chapter 706
Michael was furious. After being repeatedly belittled by Andrew today, he was already boiling with rage. He growled, โAlright, weโll see soon enough. I want to see how long you can keep up that arrogance!โ
He stood up, threw down those harsh words, and stormed out with Bane trailing behind him.
โMeeting adjourned!โ Tiana announced.
The other senior executives followed suit, leaving one after the other. As they walked out, most instinctively kept their distance from Andrew.
They had finally realized that Andrew was an unrelenting, shameless troublemaker. He showed no respect for Michael, even though Michael came from a powerful family, and he even dared to openly mock Tiana.
That kind of audacity was not something ordinary people could stomach.
Tiana was the last to leave. She turned to Andrew with a taunting smile. โMr. Lloyd, I heard the Jayrodale Grand Hotel has arranged a โReckoning Toastโ just for you. You act all high and mighty in front of me; I just hope you wonโt be too scared to even show up. Or worse, wet your pants when you get there!โ
Andrewโs expression remained calm. โJust a small fryโnot worth my time.โ
Tiana let out a cold laugh. โRaymond may be a small fry, but Winston from the Wright family? Now, thatโs a shark that kills.โ
Andrew chuckled. โAnd what difference does that make in the eyes of a soaring predator? Whether itโs a shark or a small fry, theyโre both nothing more than insects to me.โ
Tiana scoffed. โArrogance leads to disaster, Mr. Lloyd. Youโd better hurry and beg Marvin to spend some money and clean up your mess!โ
With that, she turned and walked away.
The Reckoning Toast that Raymond had set up at Jayrodale Grand Hotel was already the talk of high society. Tiana had known about it for a while now, and she was also well aware that Raymond had Winston from the Wright family backing him up.
Winston had the worst reputation in Blumedaleโan infamous secondโgeneration heir and a complete disgrace to his family.
Nonetheless, at the end of the day, his parents and his familyโs power made up for all of that. Even Tiana had to treat Winston with courtesy, simply because the Wright familyโs influence was far too great to ignore.
Yet, Andrew did not seem to care. The Reckoning Toast had been going on for two days now, and he remained completely unfazed.
Tiana could already picture the sceneโwhen Andrew finally came face-to-face with Winston, he would be beaten so badly that he would not even recognize himself in the mirror.
Not that she planned to intervene.
After all, Andrew had dug his own graveโhe could lie in it himself. If anything, she was actually hoping Winston would take him down a notch. Only by crushing Andrew could she finally get Lauren to come to her senses.
Compared to Joe, Andrew was nothing more than a passing storm. In front of real elite heirs, he was nobody.
Meanwhile, Andrew returned to Laurenโs office, where Marcus was anxiously pacing.
Chapter 706
โMr. Lloyd, tomorrowโs the last day of the Reckoning Toast,โ Marcus reminded him. โTraditionally, youโre supposed to show up and apologize on the first day to prove your sincerity.โ
He added, โIf you wait until the third day, itโll be seen as disrespectfulโpeople will think you donโt take the apology seriously, and itโll stir up even more trouble!โ
Andrew smiled. โSo what if it does? Iโm not going there to apologize anyway.โ
Marcus was stunned. โYouโre not going to apologize? Then what exactly are you going for?โ
Andrewโs eyes turned ice-cold. โIsnโt it obvious? Iโm going to make Raymond apologize to me!โ Marcus was utterly speechless, thinking, โMr. Lloyd, are you sure you want to play this game?โ
