Chapter 187 Lauren was shocked and eximed, Even Mr.


    Weller Senior is here? Well then, lets see what theyre really up to


    Upon entering the main hall, Andrew noticed not only the Weller family members but also Christina. When she caught Andrews nce, Christina remained expressionless and turned.


    away.


    Harvey smirked, looking down at Andrew with contempt.


    Lauren greeted Kane respectfully, acknowledging his status as one of Jayrodales most influential family patriarchs


    His local influence sometimes exceeded even the mayors, particrly in matters concerning traditional martial arts circles.


    Lauren, its been years since Ive seen you ! Kane chuckled before breaking into a cough, quickly covering his mouth with a white handkerchief.


    Though Kane tried to be discreet, Andrews keen eye caught sight of blood on the cloth, and noting Kanes paleplexion and dim eyes, he could tell the man was gravely ill.


    Mr.


    Weller Senior, if youre unwell, we can discuss this another time, Lauren offered considerately, hesitant to bring up the club purchase given his condition.


    Kane waved off her concern: Its just an old condition.


    Lets get down to business.


    Everyone took their seats, and Kanes gaze lingered on Andrew.


    Even though it onlysted seconds, Andrew could not ignore the coldness and hostility in the mans eyes. The Weller family has fallen on hard times, and with my illness, I have no choice but to sell the Oakridge Club for operating capital, Kane exined slowly.


    Lauren nodded sympathetically.


    I understand your predicament, Mr.


    Weller Senior.


    Running a prestigious family business requires substantial daily expenses.


    Please be assured that the Rhodes family will help however we can.


    Youre much more generous than your penny pinching father.


    I like that, Kane said,ughing.


    You know, you and Harvey would have made a perfect match.


    Its quite a shame that fate had other ns.


    Youre too kind, Mr.


    Weller Senior, Lauren replied.


    Harvey is far too aplished for me.


    Besides, my heart now belongs to someone else


    Kane nced at Andrew, And I assume that would be Mr.


    Lloyd here? Yes, Dr.


    Lloyd is indeed the one Ive chosen, Lauren confirmed without hesitation, causing Andrew to feel slightly embarrassed.


    Behind Kane, Christina shot Andrew a cold, unreadable look, +26 BONUS Chapter 187 Kane forced a smile


    Mr.


    Lloyd is undoubtedly aline young man, and its no surprise hes captured your attention.


    But I heard the Rhodes family has a strict tradition of arranging marriages within prestigious familles. Frankly, Mr.


    Lloyds background is ... ordinary, to put it kindly.


    Hecks the kind of standing that would make such a union viable.


    From the perspective of a family head, Id suggest you reconsider.


    It may be best for you both to part ways now and spare yourselves from unrealistic expectations.
