Chapter 801
Michael was getting anxious. Both the Stevens and the Wellers had already made their moves, yet Rhodes Corporation was still sitting on the sidelines, doing nothing. Desperate, he quickly said, “Master Shiloh, as long as you’re willing to step in and support Rhodes Corporation, we’re willing to offer you a deal that will guarantee your complete satisfaction!”
Behind the sheer curtain, Shiloh remained silent, as if she could not be bothered to acknowledge him.
Harvey laughed loudly and said, “Michael, with your kind of reputation? You’re a criminal—one who’s committed arson and murder. There’s no way Master Shiloh would ever entertain the likes of you. You can forget about trying to win her over. Rhodes Corporation should give up on this pipe dream!”
Even Aspen and Christina sneered at Michael. At this point, it was clear that Shiloh would only consider working with the Wellers or the Stevens. They believed Rhodes Corporation, Michael, and Andrew had no shot because Shiloh’s complete lack of response made it obvious—she had zero interest in dealing with Rhodes Corporation.
Michael’s face darkened, but he still wanted to try.
Andrew, however, said coldly, “Step back. You’ve been rambling on and on, but where’s the substance? Why should Master Shiloh even acknowledge you, let alone work with you?”
Michael’s face turned red with anger. “Andrew, it’s easy for you to criticize when you’re not the one under pressure! If you think you can do better, then be my guest!”
Andrew nodded. “You said it yourself—I can, and I will. Move aside.”
Michael scoffed, humiliated, but stepped back. He wanted to see what Andrew could do. It was obvious that Shiloh was already leaning toward Stevens Corporation. At this point, talking was pointless.
Andrew stepped forward, staring straight through the sheer curtain at Shiloh. At the same time, the woman behind the veil lifted her head. Though her face was partially hidden, her bright, captivating eyes met Andrew’s gaze through the fabric.
Enraged, Aspen snapped, “Andrew, how dare you look directly at Master Shiloh? Do you have no sense of respect or etiquette?”
Christina scoffed, “Andrew, don’t waste your time. We invited Master Shiloh because we want her to share her wellness expertise with the public—to help people understand the importance of health and longevity.” She added, “But you? You’re just like the Wellers—scheming to use Master Shiloh for your own personal gain. Absolutely shameless!”
Harvey smirked. “Christina, don’t act so high and mighty. Your motives aren’t that pure, either. But one thing you got right—Andrew is definitely up to no good. A person like Master Shiloh, a true recluse, would never give him the time of day.”
Andrew ignored their attacks and said calmly, “I came all the way to The Southern Highlands with just one goal—to invite Master Shiloh to endorse two of my miracle formulas. One is the Vitality Pill, and the other is the Titan Essence Pill.” He continued, “I understand that money might not be a priority for you, Master Shiloh, but I know you’re not exactly swimming in funds right now. That’s why I’m offering you 20 million a year for this endorsement.”
The room fell silent. Even Shiloh, hidden behind the veil, seemed momentarily stunned. The next second, a burst of laughter rang out.
“Andrew, Andrew… You really are an uncultured brute, aren’t you? Master Shiloh is a woman of great wisdom, someone who sees money as nothing more than dirt beneath her feet. And you think she’d be interested in your 20 million?”
The one laughing was Harvey, looking at Andrew with sheer disdain.
