Chapter 531 Chapter 531 Lauren let out a giggle.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, you practically scared Troy half to death.


    Andrew shook his head


    I wasnt just trying to scare him


    Theres genuinely a faint odor of decay on him.


    Its not as strong as Rubys, but its there, which means hes already infected with something. Lauren looked stunned


    You think that horny fool might actually have HIV? Andrew chuckled lightly.


    HIV is terrifying, but its spread is rtively well controlled these days.


    As for Troy, well need a hospital checkup to confirm.


    Whether its HIV or something else, his situation doesnt look good.


    With that, the two did not linger and returned to Rhodes Corporation.


    Over at the Pharmaceutical Division, préparations for the Amberpeak Corporation coboration were in full swing


    1 Michael was beaming with energy, treating the project as his crowning achievement since bing CEO


    In his mind, the sessful conclusion of this deal would solidify his position in the family, earning him apuse from the upper echelons.


    He could not help but see it as a crucial stepping stone to eventually im the title of Rhodes family patriarch


    In contrast, Michael scoffed at the thought of Lauren, believing that his dear cousin had be irrelevant, and she was not even a challenge anymore.


    With thepanypletely under my control, she was just a ceholder vice CEO nothing more than a soon to be married off pawn of the family.


    Like Marcus, most of Laurens allies had already been pushed out of key positions.


    Michael felt secure, confident that his grip on thepany was stronger than ever.


    Reclining in his office chair with his legs crossed, he enjoyed a massage from Cindy, his secretary.


    For the first time in a while, he felt utterly rxed


    Michaelughed.


    Troy is such a gem.


    Through sheer determination in bed, he managed to secure Ruby


    Honestly, Im a little jealous of him! Always attuned to Michaels moods, Cindy smiled sweetly and teased


    , Mr.


    Rhodes, it sounds like you might have a little interest in Ms.


    Dickinson yourself.


    Michael did not bother hiding it.


    Of course, I do.


    Rubys stunning sharp, gorgeous, and sexy as hell.


    Who wouldnt be interested? He sighed dramatically.


    But heres the thing


    AS CEO, I cant afford for people to think Im sharing a woman with Troy, of all people.


    Imagine the rumors itd look like Im scraping the bottom of the barrel.


    My reputation would take a hit.


    Cindy nodded, offering advice.


    Youre right.


    For the sake of your image, its best to keep your distance from Ruby


    Michael smirked and squeezed Cindys stocking d rear firmly, making her wince.


    Heughed as he released her.


    I may not be able to bed Ruby myself, but Ive already told Troy to give me all the juicy details about 1/2


    Chapter 531 their time together.


    Sometimes, hearing the y by y can be just as thrilling.


    Cindy forced augh, though inwardly, she was disturbed


    She thought these rich boys were on another level of depravity.


    While she had sold her body for status, even she could not sink to their level.


    Suddenly, the office door burst open, and a subordinate rushed in, looking frantic.


    Michaels rxed mood evaporated, and he scowled.


    Didnt I say not to disturb me unless its something important? Cindy and I are in the middle of ... discussing serious business


    11 Ignoring the scene entirely, the subordinate blurted out, Mr.


    Rhodes, weve got a problem! Michael frowned


    What now? The subordinate hesitated, then delivered the shocking news.


    Its Mr.


    MacAfee


    Hes gone mad! He ran to Ms.


    Rhodess office, got down on his knees, and started begging Andrew to save him.


    Hes screaming that he doesnt want to... rot away!
