Chapter 82

    Chapter


    82 Dn was caught off guard by Francescas question.


    Then, he chuckled.


    Ms.


    Aicker, I think youve got it wrong.


    While Mr.


    Yates has something to do with my respect for Mr.


    Lloyd, its not the main reason.


    So, youre not doing this just to please Mr.


    Yates? Francesca pressed, still doubtful.


    Dn scoffed.


    I respect Mr.


    Yates, but I wouldnt grovel before somebody for his sake.


    Anyway, its not just me who respects Mr.


    Lloyd


    Even Mr.


    Yates himself holds him in the highest regard.


    I cant say much more.


    All Ill say is, Ms.


    Aicker, its best not to dig too deeply into Mr.


    Lloyds business


    The cautious look on Dns face sent Francescas mind reeling.


    The fact that even Marvin, the wealthiest man in Jayrodale, someone with enough influence tomand the city, respected Andrew was unbelievable


    If she had heard this from anyone else, she would have dismissed it as pure exaggeration


    Yet, the person who said this was the crime lord of South City, an existence that even the Aickers feared


    .


    Andrew, have I really misjudged you? Francesca whispered to herself, her heart pounding as she recalled Laurens unwavering faith in Andrew.


    At the club entrance, Lauren yfully threatened Francesca before climbing into her luxury car. Fran, make sure you take good care of Dr.


    Lloyd on the way back.


    If I hear youve been mean to him, youre in big trouble! The ride back to Moonlit Sanctuary was quiet. Finally, Francesca casually asked, Andrew, whats your connection to Mr.


    Yates ? Andrew gazed out the window.


    Oh, nothing.


    Hes just sort of ... my butler, I guess.


    Francesca had to suppress her shock when she heard the mighty Marvin Yates, who stood equal to the citys most powerful families, was just Andrews butler.


    However, she held back her usual skepticism.


    Her previous prejudices had already cost her the chance to understand this man properly.


    If she still continued clinging to her old assumptions, both she and her family might be blindsided in the future.


    You know, theres always been rumors that Mr.


    Yates isnt originally from Jayrodale


    Does that mean youre not from here either ? Francesca probed carefully.


    Andrew turned from the window, his deep eyes studying her with amusement.


    Why are you suddenly so interested in a nobody like me? Oh, just making conversation.


    Francesca quickly backpedaled


    Coming from the prestigious Aicker medical family, if I were interested in someone, it would be someone like Harvey


    Chapter 82 Andrew shrugged.


    True, Harvey is Jayrodales most eligible bachelor


    How could a small-time doctor like mepare? Also, I was just joking about Mr.


    Yates earlier.


    Someone like me couldnt possibly have any connection with him


    Francesca let out a small snort, thinking to herself, Yeah, right! Like Id believe that.
