Chapter 505 Faced with Tianas fierce demeanor , Lauren responded in disbelief , Are you really going to deny everything Andrew has done ? How can you be so self deceptive and blind ? Tianas tone calmed , but her disdain was evident .
Im not denying it .
Im just looking at the bigger picture from a wiser perspective .
This boy is all show and no substance everything hes shown you is borrowed from Marvins influence and power .
She continued , His money comes from Marvin , his influence stems from being tied to Jayrodales wealthiest man , and even his life has been protected by Marvin .
Otherwise , with the enemies hes made , he wouldnt have survived this long .
Tianas relentless questioning completely dismissed all of Andrews contributions to Rhodes Corporation .
Lauren , enraged , responded , You can criticize me all you want , but what Andrew has done for me and the company are undeniable facts .
I absolutely wont let you insult him or someone whos devoted himself to helping me .
Lauren , who had always appeared submissive before Tiana , now stood with tears welling up in her reddened eyes , glaring at her mother with fury.
Seeing her daughter look at her with such cold hatred , Tiana froze .noveldrama
For a moment , she was caught off guard .
Lauren Tiana began, but Lauren cut her off as tears streamed down her face .
Hes the only man Ive ever loved , she declared firmly , without hesitation or fear .
But no matter what he does , he cant win your approval or the familys acceptance .
Since youre being so unreasonable and pushy , I have nothing more to say except this -I wont marry anyone but Andrew .
Tianas momentary guilt and hesitation vanished , replaced by a cold smirk .
How foolish .
Youre completely duped , and yet youre still defending him .
Lauren , wheres your intelligence ? Wheres your pride as the Rhodes Corporation heiress ? She added , If youre so determined to stay blind , then Ill give you the truth , no sugarcoating .
Her expression turned frighteningly grim as she raised her voice .
Listen carefully Andrew is nothing more than Marvins pawn , a piece in his game to trap the Rhodes family .
Do you get it ? 1/2 Tlana explained , Marvin is a criminal fugitive from Chetvine .
He offended someone so powerful that he can never recover and is trapped in this backwater town of Jayrodale .
Thats why he groomed Andrew as his puppet , his pawn , to lure in you , Francesca from the legendary Aicker family , and even Christina from the Stevens family .
Under Laurens incredulous gaze , Tiana smirked contemptuously .
Others might not be able to uncover his background , but Rhodes family can .
In just over ten days since arriving in Jayrodale , Ive thoroughly investigated this boys past .
Let me tell you Andrew has no verifiable identity in Jayrodale .
He appeared out of nowhere , Tiana revealed .
Given Marvins fugitive status , what else could Andrew be but Marvins puppet , his pawn in a larger game ? But thats not how things are at all , Lauren protested in disbelief .
