Chapter 650 Michael scowled , his frustration evident .

So what now ? If Andrews formula gets produced by Glorious Pharmaceuticals , does that mean Ill be outperformed ? Tianas lips curled into a mocking smile .

Whats the matter ? Dont tell me you have no confidence in yourself .

Michaels face flushed .

Its not about confidence .

I just dont want things to keep going sideways .

I was this close to securing the CEO position , but now Im worried Andrew will pull some stunt and mess it all up again .

Tiana replied calmly , Ill admit , it surprised me that Andrew could sway Stephen .

But without a solid formula- or if what he has turns out to be trash it wont be enough to compete with you .

Bane is a top expert from the Advanced Medical Institute , and Im putting my faith in him and you to restore the Pharmaceutical Divisions standing Hearing this , Michaels anger faded , replaced by a smug gr .

Thank you for trusting me , Aunt Tiana .

Dont worr Bane will help us achieve great things for the division .noveldrama

Meanwhile , in Laurens office , Marcus was recounting the events from earlier that morning .

Dr.

Lloyd , you had Dylan rough up Stephen ? Is that the irresistible reason you mentioned ? Lauren asked , her .

eyes wide with surprise .

Andrew sighed .

I wasnt planning on getting physical , but Stephen and his people at Glorious Pharmaceuticals were acting so arrogant .

I had no choice but to teach them a little lesson .

Lauren giggled .

Dr.

Lloyd , youre getting more domineering by the day .

Stephen is a well known powerhouse in Jayrodale , a hands on businessman with ties to the underworld .

Most people wouldnt dare provoke him .

Andrew grinned .

Actually , I won him over with my charm .

Believe me ? Lauren covered her mouth , laughing .

Oh , sure .

I totally believe that ! Marcus chuckled .

Well , now that Glorious Pharmaceuticals is producing for us , well soon see how Mr.

Lloyds results compare to Banes .

Laurens expression turned serious .

Both Mom and Michael have high expectations for Bane .

Lets just hope he can live up to them .

Marcus nodded .

Im only putting my faith in Mr.

Lloyd .

Lauren smiled sweetly .

What a coincidence .

So am I.

After a brief chat , Marcus left to return to the Pharmaceutical Division , leaving Andrew and Lauren alone .

Andrew paused for a moment before asking , Lauren , is something going on ? Has your mother been pressuring you in some way ? Laurens body tensed slightly , though she forced a smile .

No , Dr.

Lloyd .

Why would you ask that ? You know personality no one , not even my mother , can control me my Andrew watched her silently , his gaze steady and piercing .

Under his intense stare , Laurens forced smile gradually faded , and she looked away , nervous .

Actually , I overheard your conversation with Mrs.

Rhodes earlier , Andrew said softly .

Joe hes the fiance your family arranged for you , isnt he ? Lauren panicked .

Dr.

Lloyd , please believe me ! I havent done anything to betray you .

I swear ! Chapter 650 Andrew Shook his head gently and took her hand in his .

His voice was calm and warm .

Silly girl , of course , I believe you .

If I didnt , I wouldnt still be here at Rhodes Corporation .

He added , Now tell me who is Joe ? And what exactly does the Rhodes family expect from you ?
