---- Chapter 2154 Terror Town was the biggest metropolis in the east of Holtrien. At the international airport, Andrew and the two women stepped off the ne, where Chantelle''s family was already waiting. "Elle, you''re finally back! I missed you so much!" A stylish and well-dressed woman was the first to rush forward. Chantelle hugged her tightly andughed. "Mom, I''m home." Beside her stood more than a dozen members of the Garcia family. Among them were Chantelle''s father, Patrick Garcia, her sister, Cassandra, and her brother-inw, Carlos Watts.
Andrew could clearly feel all their eyes sizing him up, though he did not care and waited for Chantelle to make introductions. Natasha had already left ahead of them, as she was familiar with Terror Town. She told Andrew not to worry about her. She would handle her business with the Langley family first, then return to find him. Andrew was not concerned about her safety since the Langley family was Natasha''s family. Since she obviously did not want to discuss it much, Andrew respected her privacy and did not pry further. At that moment, Chantelle made the introductions.
"Mom, Dad, ---- Cassie, Carlos, this is Andrew Lloyd, my boyfriend! "Andrew, these are my parents. That''s my sister, Cassandra, and then my brother-inw, Carlos Watts!" Andrew stepped forward with his hand extended. "Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, Mr. and Mrs. Watts, it''s a pleasure to meet you!" Patrick shook his hand with a smile. "Wee to Terror Town!" Chantelle''s mother, Sofia Underwood, was more critical as she looked Andrew up and down coolly. "Lloyd?
From what I know about Blumedale in Gabo Creek Province, the Lloyd surname isn''t exactly from a prominent family, is it?" Andrew smiled pleasantly. "Actually, I''m not originally from Blumedale." Sofia frowned. "So you''re saying you''re from some small town in Gabo Creek Province then?" Chantelle scolded her gently. "Mom, if you want to learn more about him, let''s wait until we get home! This is an airport, so please don''t be so aggressive!" Sofia gave a final sharp remark. "I raised a daughter for almost 30 years.
Honestly, handing her over to someone else just like that doesn''t sit well with me. Of course, I want to know everything clearly." ---- Andrew stayed polite and calm. "Mrs. Garcia, your concerns are valid, and Ipletely understand. Since we''re here, I don''t mind giving you a little bit of insight." Sofia gave a cold chuckle. "Insight? Do you have any idea what kind of status the Garcia family holds in Terror Town?" Andrew shook his head and kept his harmless smile.
"I don''t know what the Garcia family''s standing is in Terror Town, but I do know very clearly what my standing is in Gabo Creek Province." Carlos, sharp in a tailored suit and tie, smirked. "Oh? Sounds pretty arrogant. Why don''t you tell us what kind of influence you actually have there?" Andrew grinned. "Influence is nothing worth bragging about. I''m just the so-called King of Gabo Creek, that''s all." Carlos froze for a second before bursting intoughter. "Dad, Mom, did you hear that? This guy just said he''s the King of Gabo Creek!
That''s hrious!" He keptughing, "All I''ve ever heard about Gabo Creek is the Three Titans families. King of Gabo Creek? Elle, the boyfriend you brought back sure loves to tell tall tales!" Cassandra tugged on Chantelle''s arm and whispered sharply. " Elle, why did you bring someone like this home? You know how ---- much Mom and Dad care about these things, especially Mom She bragged for weeks in her social circle that you were bringing back a wealthy, educated young man from a prestigious family." She red. "And now?<fn1f11> Newest update provided by FιndＮovel</fn1f11>
You show up with someone who''s either delusional or a shameless braggart." Chantelle''s face darkened. "Andrew is not lying. He is, right now, the ruler of Gabo Creek, in both the underworld and the upper circles." Carlos snorted, ready to argue, while Sofia''s brows arched sharply, about to unleash her temper. Finally, Patrick cut them all off. "Enough. Elle finally brought her boyfriend home. Let''s go back first and celebrate properly."<style>
