---- Chapter 2168 The dinner took a full three hours to finish. Actually, Andrew was. done after just half an hour. However, Sofia, Carlos, and Cassandra were all eating slowly, savoring every bite while chatting excitedly. Andrew did not say much and just let them be. After finishing their food, they insisted on touring the ce before finally calling it a night. As they stepped out, Chantelle leaned close with a grateful smile. "Honey, thank you for indulging me. I know you were already getting impatient, right?" Andrew rubbed his nose and said, "Not really impatient...
Just felt like your mom is a bit... difficult." Chantelle giggled behind her hand. "You''re the difficult one! Honey, you''re not allowed to get annoyed at my family." Andrew pinched her nose. "Don''t worry. To win a beauty like you, I''ll put up with anything!" He thought Chantelle''s family was not that bad. Except for initially looking down on people, everything else was fine. While they were taking their sweet time here, someone downstairs at Sky Garden was getting very impatient. ---- "Damn it, how long does it take to finish a meal?
What, did their butts get glued to the chairs?" Elijah had arrived, nked by bodyguards who muttered curses under their breath Ophelia leaned in and said, "Mr. Knowles, that man''s name is Andrew Lloyd, from Gabo Creek." Elijah was a short man with a cold, arrogant expression. He replied indifferently, ''Then I''ll have to meet him. Andrew Lloyd? Hah, I''ve never heard of him. Still, if Mr. Glover himself received him, he must be someone important." Ophelia sneered. "Someone important?
More like a fraud pretending to be a big shot when he''s nothing but a freeloader." Elijah''s expression remained cold. "Publicly embarrassing me in Terror Town? If he doesn''t measure upter, I''ll make sure he won''t take another step in this city." Outside the hotel, luxury cars filled the street. At least 40 vehicles filled the street, creating an impressive and intimidating scene. Online, people had given Elijah the nickname "The Prince of Terror Town". He was known for throwing money around and drawing crowds wherever he went.
---- Finally, Andrew and Chantelle''s family came down from the Sky Garden. Ophelia turned, smirking coldly. "Mr. Knowles, that''s them!" Elijah only smiled faintly and stayed seated, while one of hisckeys rushed forward at once. "You there, you''re Andrew, right? Finally, Andrew and Chantelle''s family came down from the Sky Garden Ophelia turned, smirking coldly. "Mr. Knowles, that''s them!" Elijah only smiled faintly and stayed seated, while one of hisckeys rushed forward at once. "You there, you''re Andrew Lloyd, right?" Andrew looked at him. "That''s me.
What''s it to you?" The thug snorted. "You''ve got guts, stealing Mr. Knowles'' spot. Now get on your knees and apologize!" Andrew actuallyughed. "Get on my knees and apologize? Do you think you''re all that? Or do you think your so-called Prince of Terror Town is really that impressive?" The thug roared and swung a fist at him. "You piece of shit. I tried to be polite, but you just had to throw it in my face. Damn it! ---- In Terror Town, disrespecting Mr. Knowles is a death sentence!" A loud crack echoed. In the next second, the thug saw his wrist snap in Andrew''s grip.
He howled as Andrew held the broken hand without flinching. "Pathetic," Andrew hissed. With one kick, he sent the thug flying right to Elijah''s feet. Ophelia gasped in shock. "That bastard actually dared to hit one of your men! Mr. Knowles, you have to teach him a lesson!" Elijah could no longer sit still. Forced to rise, his face twisted with fury.<style>
