Chapter 25 Andrews straightforwardness made Francesca scoff .
She mocked , You didnt even bot greet me first ? Youre so unsophisticated .
Despite her annoyance , she slid an elegant box across the table to Andrew .
He opened it , confirming the presence of a twisted root nestled on silk , then stood to leave .
to Wait , Francesca called out .
Youve got what you wanted .
When are you going to treat me ? Andrew replied frankly , Just set a time .
But I should warn you about the treatment .
Ill need to lift your dress .
Francesca froze .
Lift my dress ? What do you mean ? Andrew exined calmly , Your condition isnt ordinary .
Its more severe , which Im sure youre aware of .
Francescas face flushed as she realized the implications , and anger .
her gaze a mix of embarrassment Ignoring her reaction , Andrew continued , To ensure aplete cure , Ill need to perform a minimally invasive procedure on the … affected area .
Understand ? Francesca gritted her teeth .
Thats hardly appropriate between a man and a woman , dont you think ? Andrew frowned .
To a medical practitioner , theres no distinction between male and female patients .
Youre a doctor yourself .
How can you not understand this ? Francesca was speechless , but the thought of Andrew touching her , especially in such a sensitive area , was ufortable .
Andrews expression softened slightly .
Dont worry .
Ill be blindfolded and wont actually touch your body .
1 Hearing this , Francesca sighed in relief , though still feeling incredibly embarrassed .
Just then , the club manager pped for attention .
Ladies and gentlemen , I know youve all been curious about the identity of our Oakridge Clubs mysterious owner .
Well , todays your lucky day.
Hes here and would like to treat everyone to a drink and make your acquaintance .
The room erupted in apuse .
Those sitting in this club were all wealthy and influential people , and they all started chattering excitedly .
Finally , well see who owns this ce ! I wonder which Jayrodale bigshot it is ? Its got to be someone from one of the top families , at least .
No way , I heard its one of the four crime lords of Jayrodale .
Chapter 25 Francesca , holding her wine ss , looked intrigued .
The owner of Oakridge Club has always been a mystery in Jayrodale .
Given the clubs impable reputation , its quite an honor to finally meet him .
Andrew was uninterested and had nned to leave after getting the Morlic Root .
However , with the crowd blocking the exit , he had no choice but to wait .
Amid thunderous apuse , a couple walked arm in arm on a red carpet .
The man wore an expensive suit , looking handsome and confident with a charming smile .
Meanwhile , the woman glided in a floor length white dress , her beauty almost otherworldly .
The club manager announced enthusiastically , Allow me to introduce our club owner , Mr.
Harvey Weller ! The crowd went wild with excitement and admiration .
Wow , theyre gorgeous ! What a power couple ! Holy crap , Mr.
Weller owns this ce ? No wonder its so high end ! Mr.
Wellers making quite an entrance fresh from his return ! And that stunning woman must be his fiancée , Christina Stevens , the CEO of Stevens Corporation ! As the crowd surged forward to greet the couple , Francesca nced at Andrew with a sly smile .
