Before long, Andrew arrived outside Tiana’s office. Jerry and his men stood at the door, guarding the entrance.
The moment they saw Andrew approaching, they tensed up “Mr. Lloyd, why are you back?” Andrew's voice
remained calm. “Move aside. | need to speak with Mrs. Rhodes.”
Jerry frowned and took a step forward to block the door. Andrew barely spared him a glance-just one look. Yet, in
that instant, Jerry felt like he had been struck by lightning. A wave of cold terror washed over him as if he had
just been locked in the sights of a predator.
His entire body froze, and he mumbled, “M-Mr.Lloyd...”
Jerry pointed at Andrew, his heart pounding violently. He had only experienced this feeling once before.
It had cfrom a grandmaster, a legendary figure in the southern martial arts world. That man’s strength had
already surpassed the senior grandmaster level ten years ago, and his nalone commanded fear across all of
Holtrien
Could it be that Andrew had reached that slevel? If so, then this man was not just a monster. He was a
monster among monsters.
Jerry gritted his teeth but did not dare step aside. Tiana’s orders were absolute, and he could not disobey them.
Fortunately, at that moment, Tiana’s voice sounded from the office. “Let him in, Jerry.”
Jerry let out a deep breath, instantly relieved. He quickly stepped away, afraid that Andrew would take him out
with a single punch if he did not.
Andrew pushed the door open and walked straight inside.

Tiana sat behind her desk, looking exhausted. She forced a tired smile. “Andrew, you're here. Take a seat.”
Andrew remained standing. “No need. But Mrs. Rhodes, you look... drained.”
Tiana was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “How is Lauren?”
Andrew let out a dry laugh. “Oh? Now you care?”
A flicker of irritation crossed Tiana’s eyes, but instead of lashing out, she leaned back in her chair and exhaled
slowly.
“I suppose, by now, she must completely resent me,” she murmured. “Her hatred and distance frommust
have reached their peak.”
She let out a bitter chuckle. “Tell me, Andrew-do you seeas a failure? A heartless woman? A mother who
would rather strike her own daughter than abandon a worthless man like Michael? A cruel, ruthless woman?”
Andrew frowned, studying her carefully. “Mrs. Rhodes, what exactly are you hiding? Why do you insist on
protecting Michael? Why are you willing to hurt your own daughter so brutally?”
Tiana let out a long sigh. She said, “I knew it. | can deceive others, but | can’t fool you.”
She glanced at him and smirked slightly. “To be honest, Andrew, | still don’t like you. | hate how you never bow
your head to anyone and refuse to acknowledge authority.
She continued, “I hate that even in my presence, you never show an ounce of humility. And more than
anything... | hate that you've stolen Lauren’s heart from me-over and over again.”

Tiana paused, then smiled again-this time, strangely self deprecating. “But even though | hate you,” she
admitted, “I have to admit, I've started to respect you.”

demanding, and relentless.
