---- Chapter 3220 At the Reyes residence, ine weed Andrew and the other twodies with a warm, smiling face. ine covered her mouth andughed softly. "This is my first time seeing this foreign youngdy here. Andrew, are you not going to introduce her? She is absolutely stunning, truly a sight to behold." Andrew coughed lightly and said, "Ms. Theron, this is Nyx Kerrigan. Nyx, this is Valerie''s, uh, stepmother." When introducing ine''s identity to Nyx, Andrew hesitated, unsure how to phrase it. ine shot him a yful nce and giggled. "Oh, don''t feel awkward.


    Yes, I''m Valerie''s stepmother, but we''re the same age, and I''m still very young." Nyx gave ine a polite nod. She was not good with words and did not like pretending. Instinctively, Nyx could not care less about ine. In fact, ine was exactly the type of person Nyx would dislike. After all, ine had originally been Valerie''s best friend, and they had grown up together. But in the end, she married Valerie''s father. Anyone who understood the situation knew the reason ---- was ambition and climbing higher. Nheless, Andrew did not care about any of that "Ms.


    Theron, where''s Valerie?" Andrew asked. ine sighed and said, "When she heard you wereing in person, she''s been getting ready. She''ll be out in a bit." Andrew smiled wryly. "Actually, she doesn''t need to go through so much trouble." ine rolled her eyes. "That silly girl thinks you''re here to propose. This is the first time you''re visiting the Reyes family so formally. All those previous times don''t really count. Valerie takes this visit very seriously and thinks the wedding is approaching." Andrew replied, "I will indeed personally bring generous gifts to formally proposeter.


    But this time, I''m here to see Mr. Reyes Senior." ine was not surprised and nodded. "Finnegan is here. I''ve already sent someone to notify him. But whether he''ll agree to see you is another matter." Andrew insisted, "Since I''m here, I must see him." ine made a sound of acknowledgment and said meaningfully, "After two years, you''ve be much more assertive in your ---- speech. You must see Finnegan? Don''t you know he has always been this way, not just anyone gets an audience?" Andrew replied calmly, "I know Mr. Reyes Senior doesn''t meet just anyone.


    But I''ll say it again: I must see him in person. Otherwise, I''m not leaving." ine got a bit angry. "You..." A heartyugh cut her off. "What a rare asion! To actually see you taking the initiative to visit the Reyes family. You want to see me? Well, I''ve been even more eager to see you!" Along with the boomingughter, an elderly-looking man walked forward. It was Finnegan, Valerie''s father! Although he was in the same generation as Reginald, he was considerably older. Interestingly, Finnegan was old in years but not in spirit, having married his daughter''s best friend, ine.


    Consequently, Finnegan was often a topic of amused conversation in Chetvinde. When it came to being a womanizer, he never lost. His fondness for young beauties was a lifelong, unwavering hobby. Andrew greeted respectfully, "Mr. Reyes Senior." Finnegan waved a hand. "No need for formalities. Sit, let''s talk. I ---- can guess part of your purpose here. But you''ll have to convince me. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Reyes family to stand on your side." Andrew smiled. "You''re indeed a man of humor and wit. You don''t move without a guarantee. Very steady." Finneganughed again.


    "I''m d you know that. Anyway, you''re nning to confront Mr. Vazquez head-on. The Reyes family doesn''t want to suffer for it. I need some assurances, or I won''t befortable. "On top of that, Valerie is madly in love with you. You could say half of the Reyes family''s influence is already in your hands. I can''t just give you the remaining half for free, can I? At the very least, I need to weigh this carefully."
