---- Chapter 2343 Andrew''s lips curled into a cold, dismissive smile. "Submit? Ha, do you really think you''re worthy? Do you think I care about your submission? Mika, what I despise most about you is your crooked heart. "You honestly believe that all your little schemes and maniptions are hidden from me? In these ten years in Chetvine, you''re adored and showered with vanity. So now you think my return has ruined that, that I remind you of the past and make you feel ashamed, right?" He added, "But the truth is, my return has nothing to do with you.
You and your family, in my eyes, are nothing at all. Let me be blunt... You and the Owens family are nothing more than weeds by the roadside to me. If I ever want to crush you, all it takes is lifting my foot." Mika''s heart trembled for no reason. The look in Andrew''s eyes made her feel a kind of fear she had never known, one that felt utterly foreign. Yet the very next second, she burst outughing in anger. " Andrew, since you''ve said it like this, then let''s draw the line right here. You walk your road, and I''ll walk mine.
We''ll see in the end who climbs higher and farther!" ---- Andrew shook his head. "No need, because honestly, you''re not even qualified topete on the same stage as me. Originally, if you hadn''te to cause trouble, I would''ve just treated you like you were invisible. "But you just had toe in front of me and y your games. Mainly, you remind me of a woman named Christina Stevens from my past. She was just like you, equally ungrateful. And in the end, her fate was miserable beyond words." "There is only one difference between you and her.
Christina had already tasted the bitterness of life, the cruelty of reality, and the pain of being used and betrayed. But you are still living in a greenhouse, with no idea what disaster and suffering truly mean. He continued, "So let me give you onest piece of advice: cherish what you have and mind your own business. The greatest strength a woman can have is knowing her ce and not blindly thinking she''s more powerful than she is.
There are beasts out there, predators who could tear you apart in an instant without even a second thought." Mika''s shame turned into fury, and she shouted, "I don''t need you to lecture me on how to live! Andrew, the humiliation you gave me today, one day I will return it a hundredfold, a thousandfold! ---- "And let me make one thing clear, I am not that foolish woman you keep mentioning. Because I am Mika Owens. I am only myself. No other woman is even qualified topare with me.<fn945e> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? Find?Novel</fn945e>
"And you, don''t think that just because you''re riding high for now, that you''re safe forever or that you''re still the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family. Chetvine isn''t what it was back then. And I am no longer the little girl who followed behind you ten years ago. Andrew, one day, I will make you kneel on the ground and look up at me. You just wait. Thosest three words were spat through clenched teeth, as if she was about to shatter them. She spun around and stormed away, her chest burning with anger and resentment that tangled together until it became unbearable.
If he refused to appreciate her sincerity, then he would have no. one but himself to me for the cruelty she would unleash. Did he really think she was still that little girl who once looked up to him with worship in her eyes? She was the chosen one. She would control her own destiny, and she would also control the fate of others. Andrew left the Sovereign''s Apothecary without a second thought, and his impression of Mika could be summed up in just two words: dumb bitch!<style>
