Chapter 24
Chapter 24 That night , two events caused ripples in Jayrodales high society circles .
First , Dylan , the crime .
lord of South City , had stumbled for the first time since solidifying his power .
Second , Harvey had returned from abroad , ready to take control of the Weller family .
The Weller family was among the top three elite unilles in Jayrodale , far above second tier families like the Fields .
Harvey was even more renowned , once considered the leader of Jayrodales Four Scions and the most prominent young heir in the city .
The next morning , Lauren called Andrew .
Dr.
Lloyd , I heard you ran into some trouble at the Jayrodale Grand Hotel yesterday .
If you need any help , please dont hesitate to ask , she said , her voice filled with worry .
Andrew replied , Thanks for your concern , Ms.
Rhodes , but its not a big deal .
Lauren laughed .
I shouldve known something like this wouldnt faze you , Dr.
Lloyd .
I was hoping I could help and have you owe me a favor Andrew smiled .
I doubt a favor from someone like me would mean much to you , Ms.
Rhodes .
Lauren let out a playful hilff .
I beg to differ ? If it meant getting a favor from you , Dr.noveldrama
Lloyd , Id do anything .
Id even strip down and wear thigh highs every day if thats what it took .
As Laurens teasing became more outrageous , Andrew quickly stopped the car .
Actually , there is something I should warn you about , Lauren continued .
Do tell , Ms.
Rhodes .
Harvey Weller has returned from abroad .
The Wellers have been ambitious lately , aiming to become the top family in Jayrodale .
Harveys engagement to the rising Stevens Corporation might be part of a plan to use your ex .
Andrews reaction was nonchalant .
What about it ? Lauren cautioned , You should be careful of Harvey , Dr.
Lloyd .
Hes skilled but not very forgiving .
Given your history with Christina , Im worried he might hold a grudge and try to retaliate .
Andrew replied calmly , Christina and I have nothing to do with each other anymore .
Lauren persisted , That may be true , but Harveys always been petty .
He might use shady tactics .
With the Weller familys resources , Im worried you might get hurt .
Andrew yawned .
I dont bother those who dont bother me .
But if he wants to push it , I wouldnt mind making the Weller family disappear from Jayrodale .
Lauren was secretly shocked .
Her words were partly a test to gauge Andrews ability , and he proved to be even more formidable than she had imagined .
Chapter 24 After ending the call with Lauren , Andrew received another from an unknown number .
Hey , Andrew , come to the Oakridge Club .
Ive got the Morlic Root you wanted , Francesca said coldly .
Andrews spirits lifted immediately , and he rushed over .
While he was not interested in money when treating patients , the rare Morlic Root was something he desperately needed .
The Oakridge Club sat atop the scenic Oakridge , rumored to be owned by a true Jayrodale power player .
Only the rich and powerful of Jayrodale could enter , while ordinary folk could not even get close .
Andrew found Francesca at a booth in the club .
She was sipping red wine alone and looked up in surprise, blurting out , How did you get in here ? Andrew replied casually , I walked in .
Francesca rolled her eyes .
The Oakridge Club was members only , and ordinary people could not just waltz in .
She figured he must have connections through Lauren .
Wheres the stuff ? Andrew asked , getting straight to the point .
