Chapter 195 Andrew smiled gently .

Im not leaving .

I just think building a specialized medical center at the Oakridge Club site would be better than running another exclusive clubhouse .

Lauren beamed at him .

Oh , my precious Dr.

Lloyd ! You have such a noble heart , always wanting to help others ! You have my complete support ! Francesca rolled her eyes .

Lauren , since when did he become yours ? Dont be so shameless ! Lauren shot back playfully , So what if Im shameless ? If youve got the guts , why dont you throw yourself at him too ? Let him admire your legendary assets .

Francesca flushed with anger and embarrassment .

Lauren , seriously ? .

As a petite woman with an exaggerated figure , Francesca often found herself the center of attention .

While her appearance attracted admiration , she secretly found the constant focus a bit overwhelming .

Being openly teased about it especially in front of Andrew made her burn with embarrassment .

Lauren , stop joking around ! she snapped , her face glowing red .

Lauren leaned back with amischievous smirk .

Oh , come on , Fran ! Dr.

Lloyds not a stranger .

Why not let him have a look? Were all friends here , right ? Francesca glared at her , then scoffed .

If youre so eager , why dont you offer yourself up ? Leave me out of it ! Laurens cheeks flushed pink , caught off guard by Francescas comeback .

She quickly looked down , too embarrassed to meet Andrews eyes .

However , she thought she would not mind showing him , but only after they were officially together .

Andrew nearly choked on his drink .

While both women were undeniably stunning in their own .

ways one alluring , the other innocent their bold banter was a bit too much for him to handle .

Just then , a man in an expensive suit and gold rimmed glasses approached their table with an affected air of elegance .

Ladies , I am Finley Moore , he announced with an exaggerated flourish , dramatically opening a folding fan .

The three of them could barely suppress their chuckle at this theatrical display .

This unexpected visitor spoke with an air of pretentious formality that seemed ridiculous .

Francesca asked politely , Mr.

Moore , can we help you ? Finley gestured dramatically .

Ive just arrived in Jayrodale from our headquarters , and what luck to encounter such stunning beauties right away ! I simply had to introduce myself .

1/2 Lauren raised an eyebrow .

From your manner of speaking , you must be from one of the martial arts societies ? Finley puffed up his chest proudly .

Indeed , I represent the Hidden Dragons , one of the three great societies of Gabo Creek .

The leader of the sect is my granduncle ! Lauren expressed surprise .

Isnt the Hidden Dragons territory in Bridgefields ? What brings .noveldrama

you to Jayrodale ? Seeing Laurens reaction , Finleys pride turned to smugness .

The Hidden Dragons rule Gabo Creek and have excellent relations with all major families and businesses .

Bridgefields is just one area under our influence , Jayrodale will soon be part of our territory as well ! Laurens brows knitted in concern .

As someone deeply tied to Jayrodales local families , this was not exactly welcome news .

Mr.Moore , our mission in Jayrodale is supposed to be secret ! How can you reveal it so carelessly ? One of two female attendants standing behind Finley scolded him while glaring at Andrews group .

Finley smiled dismissively .

Its fine .

These lovely ladies are too beautiful to pose any threat .

His gaze shifted to Andrew as he continued condescendingly , However , you , a worthless .

nobody , have heard our secret .

Heres what you can do cut out your own tongue and become a mute .

That way , Ill spare your life this once .
