Chapter 566 Andrew responded calmly, Mrs.
Rhodes, youre quite funny, Guests like these dont come just because of money! Tiana glanced around the scene, taking in the notable faces Hmm, Impressive.
Dylan 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 wide network.
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.noveldrama
Rhodes from Rhodes Corporation is here top.
This place has some serious backing! Feels like a battle of titans ... Too bad for the guy running this place.
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.
Congratulations on grooming such a remarkable ... chess piece.
Hed make a fine successor 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, come now, Mr. Yates.
You can play dumb with Lauren, but not with me.
Marvin glanced 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 attaching labels 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 relationship
After all, why was Andrew giving Marvin orders like that and why was Marvin complying 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 playing some twisted game, but I wont let Lauren become 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.
Nonetheless, Tiana was confident that the Rhodes family would not fall into Marvins hand, especially with her Chapter 566
