Chapter 566  Andrew responded calmly, Mrs.


    Rhodes, youre quite funny, Guests like these donte just because of money! Tiana nced around the scene, taking in the notable faces Hmm, Impressive.


    Dn and Natasha, the two ruling powers of Jayrodale, are here.


    Cedric and Francesca showed up too.


    Even Mr.


    Thatcher made an appearance.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, you certainly have influence


    Lauren beamed with pride and interjected, Dr.


    Lloyd has a widework.


    He once saved Mr.


    Thatchers life


    Tianas smile quickly faded, and she sneered.


    Its all because of Marvins connections


    Theyre just here to keep up appearances.


    You might not see it, Lauren, but that doesnt mean Im blind to whats really going on


    Just then, a sleek Rolls Royce quietly pulled up by the curb, An elderly man dressed in a distinguished


    robe stepped out, immediately drawing a stir from the crowd.


    Is that Mr.


    Yates? Wow! Even the wealthiest man in Jayrodale showed up to support Moonlit Apothecary. Yeah, and Mrs.


    Rhodes from Rhodes Corporation is here top.


    This ce has some serious backing! Feels like a battle of titans ... Too bad for the guy running this ce.


    Hes just a doctor from Jayrodale General Hospital


    The big shots might be here, but none truly care about him, The atmosphere shifted entirely as Marvins presence overshadowed Tianas earlier arrival.


    Marvin strode toward Tiana, his voice warm and inviting.


    Mrs.


    Rhodes! Its been a while.


    Youre as stunning as ever.


    Tiana returned a cool smile.


    And you, Mr.


    Yates, are clearly thriving.


    Congrattions on grooming such a remarkable ... chess piece.


    Hed make a fine sessor for Wealthroller Investments.


    Marvin blinked, caught off guard.


    Chess piece ? Im not sure I follow, Mrs.


    Rhodes.


    What are you suggesting? Tianas gaze flicked toward Andrew with a knowing smirk Oh,e now, Mr. Yates.


    You can y dumb with Lauren, but not with me.


    Marvin nced between her and Andrew, his face remaining neutral.


    Mrs.


    Rhodes, youre mistaken.


    Im here today for the same reason as you just to celebrate the opening of Moonlit Apothecary.


    Andrew sighed, visibly annoyed.


    Marvin, please make sure Mrs.


    Rhodes is taken care of.


    Lets keep things moving, yeah? His tone made it clear he was fed up.


    Tianas penchant for making baseless assumptions and attachingbels to him was starting to wear thin.


    If she were not Laurens mother, he might have already asked her to leave.


    Marvin chuckled obediently.


    Of course.


    Mrs.


    Rhodes, this way, please.


    Tianas eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion as she felt something did not add up.


    She wondered if she was wrong about their rtionship


    After all, why was Andrew giving Marvin orders like that and why was Marvinplying so easily? Hmph


    Marvin and Andrew.


    You think your little act can fool me ? Tiana thought coldly as she followed Marvin to the VIP area.


    Theyre ying some twisted game, but I wont let Lauren be a pawn in their schemes.


    She bit her lip in frustration, her thoughts racing.


    The high society families in Jayrodale had always been locked in -subtle battles with Marvin, the outsider turned mogul.


    For her, this event was not just a ceremony but another move in that ongoing game of power and influence.


    Nheless, Tiana was confident that the Rhodes family would not fall into Marvins hand, especially with her Chapter 566
