---- Chapter 2226 The moment Natasha saw that woman, she feltpletely uneasy. The arrogance on the woman''s face made her instinctively tense because her presence was loud, domineering, and aggressive. Fortunately, her looks were quite ordinary. Compared to Andrew''s handsome and refined features, this woman looked like nothing more than an ordinary housewife. Natasha thought that this person was probably not part of the Lloyd family, However, she waspletely wrong. Andrew smiled and said, "Sheena, long time no see!" Sheena Lloyd was the notorious troublemaker of the Lloyd family.
The Lloyd family had over a thousand members between the direct and coteral rtivesbined. Andrew only knew that Sheena was of his generation. By age, she would also be his senior. Beyond that, he did not know much about her because she belonged to a different faction within the Lloyd family. That particr faction happened to be at odds with Andrew''s side of the family. Sheena pressed again coldly. "I asked you, who gave you permission toe back?<fn661f> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? FιndNovel</fn661f>
Do you really think the Lloyds still ---- have a ce for you?" With her hands on her hips, her chest pushed forward in a way that felt threatening. Many young men in Chetvine described her as having an angel''s body but a devil''s face. Her looks were below average as she had small eyes, a bulbous nose, and a crooked mouth. However, her figure was wless and enough to draw stares everywhere she went. Her chest alone was like two beacons, impossible to ignore. Facing Sheena''s aggressive questioning, Andrew remained calm andposed.
"Do I need someone else''s permission to return to my own home? Sheena, don''t forget that there''s a piece ofnd inside the familypound that belongs to my father and me." The nsmen standing beside Sheena burst outughing, and they were not weaklings either. Every one of them was at least at martial king level, several right on the verge of martial saint. Meanwhile, the three young men standing one step behind Sheena with their arms crossed, each exuding the aura of a martial saint. Their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
Such young martial saints were indeed rare and could only be found in ces like Chetvine. In provinces like Gabo Creek, men like Henry and Lucian from the Fischer family, one of the Three Titans, only achieved martial saint status after spending most of ---- their lives struggling in the martial world. Yet, the three young men beside Sheena were all under 30 years old. Due to strict family discipline, two of them had been practicing martial arts since birth and were still virgins. The third was also a virgin, though he had already given his first time to his right hand.
To put it bluntly, families like the Lloyd family nevercked geniuses and masters within their ranks. "Yournd was reduced to rubble by a missile ten years ago when you two ran away. Are you back to inherit those broken bricks and debris?" Sheena said disdainfully while crossing her arms. Andrew''s expression darkened. "Who fired that missile and destroyed thend?" Sheena shook her head. "No idea. You and Uncle Reginald have more enemies than you can count on both hands. Don''t ask me." Andrew snorted coldly. "That doesn''t matter.
I have plenty of money now, so I can just rebuild it." Sheena was at a loss for words. "Andrew, we don''t wee you back. Since you''ve already left, why don''t you disappear forever like Uncle Reginald and never return?" ---- Andrew looked at her with a cold smile. "That''s my business and has nothing to do with you. Sheena, I thought we had a decent rtionship back in the day. But now it seems you really don''t wee me either. In that case, we''ll go our separate ways." Seeing Andrew about to leave, Sheena raised her hand to block him.
"Wait, have you recovered to martial emperor level yet?" Andrew answered honestly. "No, and I have no idea when that might happen." Sheena gritted her teeth. "What a waste. You''ve been away from home for over ten years and still haven''t recovered your former strength."<style>
