Chapter 208  Christina turned to Harvey with a cold smile.


    Didnt you just say Finley would kill Andrew? Things turned out quite differently from what you predicted! Harvey opened his mouth but could not find the words to exin.


    He, too, was shocked by Ss respect for Andrew.


    That pretty boy must be riding on Mr.


    Yates connections to get such treatment from Mr. Vaughn, Michael mocked dismissively


    Harvey quickly seized the opportunity.


    Thats right! Mr.


    Vaughn and Mr.


    Yates are close friends


    Andrew is just hiding behind Mr.


    Yates influence to save his skin.


    Finley growled, Marvin may be Jayrodales richest man and quite the figure.


    But if I want to deal with Andrew, he wont dare interfere.


    This isnt over ! Michael and Harvey exchanged a nce, their eyes brimming with malice and cold calction.


    With the brute Finley joining their side, they felt confident Andrew would eventually fall.


    The underground auction hall at Radiant Group was not particrlyrge, but its decor was nothing short of extravagant.


    The Vault was the most prestigious suite there, usually reserved for family patriarchs and Jayrodales wealthiest elite.


    Under hundreds of envious stares, Andrew and hispanions walked in leisurely.


    The view of the auction from here is amazing! Francesca eximed with genuine excitement.


    Lauren nced around with her discerning eye, finally nodding in approval.


    Not bad


    Truly worthy of its reputation.


    However, Andrew was not interested in the surroundings.


    He simply sat down on the plush couch and waited for the Celestial Nymphaea to appear.


    Lauren turned to him with a curious smile.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, are you and Mr.


    Vaughn close? Not particrly, Andrew replied, shaking his head.


    I just bought a jewel from him once.


    You mean that 7.5 million dor King of Diamonds ? Francesca asked in surprise, to which Andrew simply nodded


    Francesca was amazed.


    The price tag aside, most people couldnt even buy it from Mr.


    Vaughn if they wanted to it was practically priceless.


    How did you convince him to sell it to you? I gave him an offer he couldnt refuse, Andrew said casually.


    Both women were intrigued.


    What kind of offer? With an indifferent tone, Andrew replied, The leader of the Onyx Serpents is Ss boss.


    I Chapter 200 once treated the Onyx Serpents heir, and he owed me a favor for that, I brought it up, and he made one phone call to Ss.


    Lets just say Ss got an earful and handed me the King of Diamonds without hesitation.


    The two women nodded in understanding, knowing Andrews unfathomable medical skills.


    Even someone as powerful as the Onyx Serpents leader might need his help.


    Nheless, they did not know that Andrews connection with the Onyx Serpents ran much deeper.


    That so called heir did not just visit Andrew for medical advice he practically groveled in Andrews presence, addressing him with endless deference like a devotedckey.


    As Jayrodales elite arrived for the auction, a stunning woman in an elegant dress took the stage as auctioneer and announced the start.


    The first few items were unremarkable just antiques, ornaments, and artwork that did not interest Andrew much


    Lauren and Francesca were there mainly for socialworking


    They bid on items they liked but mostly sat beside Andrew, watching the proceedings.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, Lauren asked, didnt you have something specific you wanted to bid on today?
