Chapter 24 That night , two events caused ripples in Jayrodales high society circles .


    First , Dn , the crime .


    lord of South City , had stumbled for the first time since solidifying his power .


    Second , Harvey had returned from abroad , ready to take control of the Weller family .


    The Weller family was among the top three elite unilles in Jayrodale , far above second tier families like the Fields .


    Harvey was even more renowned , once considered the leader of Jayrodales Four Scions and the most prominent young heir in the city .


    The next morning , Lauren called Andrew .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , I heard you ran into some trouble at the Jayrodale Grand Hotel yesterday .


    If you need any help , please dont hesitate to ask , she said , her voice filled with worry .


    Andrew replied , Thanks for your concern , Ms.


    Rhodes , but its not a big deal .


    Laurenughed .


    I shouldve known something like this wouldnt faze you , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    I was hoping I could help and have you owe me a favor Andrew smiled .


    I doubt a favor from someone like me would mean much to you , Ms.


    Rhodes .


    Lauren let out a yful hilff .


    I beg to differ ? If it meant getting a favor from you , Dr.


    Lloyd , Id do anything .


    Id even strip down and wear thigh highs every day if thats what it took .


    As Laurens teasing became more outrageous , Andrew quickly stopped the car .


    Actually , there is something I should warn you about , Lauren continued .


    Do tell , Ms.


    Rhodes .


    Harvey Weller has returned from abroad .


    The Wellers have been ambitioustely , aiming to be the top family in Jayrodale .


    Harveys engagement to the rising Stevens Corporation might be part of a n to use your ex .


    Andrews reaction was nonchnt .


    What about it ? Lauren cautioned , You should be careful of Harvey , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    Hes skilled but not very forgiving .


    Given your history with Christina , Im worried he might hold a grudge and try to retaliate .


    Andrew replied calmly , Christina and I have nothing to do with each other anymore .


    Lauren persisted , That may be true , but Harveys always been petty .


    He might use shady tactics .


    With the Weller familys resources , Im worried you might get hurt .


    Andrew yawned .


    I dont bother those who dont bother me .


    But if he wants to push it , I wouldnt mind making the Weller family disappear from Jayrodale .


    Lauren was secretly shocked .


    Her words were partly a test to gauge Andrews ability , and he proved to be even more formidable than she had imagined .


    Chapter 24 After ending the call with Lauren , Andrew received another from an unknown number .


    Hey , Andrew ,e to the Oakridge Club .


    Ive got the Morlic Root you wanted , Francesca said coldly .


    Andrews spirits lifted immediately , and he rushed over .


    While he was not interested in money when treating patients , the rare Morlic Root was something he desperately needed .


    The Oakridge Club sat atop the scenic Oakridge , rumored to be owned by a true Jayrodale power yer .


    Only the rich and powerful of Jayrodale could enter , while ordinary folk could not even get close .


    Andrew found Francesca at a booth in the club .


    She was sipping red wine alone and looked up in surprise, blurting out , How did you get in here ? Andrew replied casually , I walked in .


    Francesca rolled her eyes .


    The Oakridge Club was members only , and ordinary people could not just waltz in .


    She figured he must have connections through Lauren .


    Wheres the stuff ? Andrew asked , getting straight to the point .
