Chapter 41 Michaels head buzzed as he felt his blood pressure spike .


    He could not believe Andrew , whom he deemed a loser , was asking for such an outrageous amount .


    While Rhodes Corporation was rich , 15 million dors was not pocket change .


    Fine , Ill give you the 15 million , Michael agreed unexpectedly .


    But remember if I find out that you breathed a word of this to Lauren , youll be dead .


    After that , Michael rushed back to his office and wrote a massive check , his heart bleeding at all those zeros .


    Andrew epted the check happily .


    Then , as if afraid that Michael would not believe him , Andrew even made an oath , saying , Mr.


    Rhodes , youre so generous .


    I swear on my life I wont tell Ms.


    Rhodes .


    May all the poisons in the world strike me if I break this yow ! As Andrew left grinning with the check , Michael sneered .


    Idiot , youre ying a game you cant win .


    He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number .


    Mr.


    Garner , its Michael .


    I need your men to take care of someone .


    I know your prices are steep , but moneys no object .


    Im offering 3 million dors , t rate .


    Hanging up , he smirked and muttered , You thought you could keep my 15 million that easily ? I just needed to keep you quiet .


    Once Mr.


    Garners men finish the job , that money will be right back in my pocket .


    Meanwhile , Andrew had no intention of keeping his end of the deal .


    He immediately went to Lauren and said , Ms.


    Rhodes , this check belongs to you .


    Lauren was dumbfounded .


    A check from Rhodes Corporation ? Dr.


    Lloyd , where did you get this ? Andrew chuckled and exined everything that had happened with Michael , including his suspicions about the poisoning plot .


    That bastard ! Im going to kill him ! Lauren fumed , shocked that her own family could be behind such a scheme .


    Just as she wanted to call for security to drag Michael in , Andrew stopped her .


    Andrew stopped her .


    Ms.


    Rhodes , confronting him now would be useless without concrete .


    evidence .


    If I were you , Id wait and watch until we have proof to send him to prison .


    Lauren calmed down and agreed .


    Youre right , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    Im sorry for losing myposure .


    Michael has always wanted control of Rhodes Corporation and caused me trouble before .


    I shouldve known it was him .


    She thought it over and asked anxiously , Dr.


    Lloyd , since youve confronted Michael , are you going to be safe ?  Chapter 41 Andrew shrugged .


    Im fine .


    I even made a vow to stay silent , or all the poisons in the world strike me .


    Lauren gasped .


    What ? Dr.


    Lloyd , how could you do that ? I swear , if anything happens to you .


    because of that bastard , Ill make sure he suffers hundredfold ! Francesca frowned at Laurens fierce protectiveness .


    She turned to Andrew and scolded , As a medical professional , you should know better than to make such reckless vows .


    Andrew replied dismissively , Honestly , Im not worried .


    Theres no poison I cant cure .


    Both women suddenly realized Andrew had cleverly tricked Michael .


    Nheless , that did not stop Francesca from mocking him .


    She scoffed and said , Yeah , right .


    Keep bragging Andrew did not bother exining further .


    He could make such oaths all day long because his extraordinary medical skills truly made him immune to any poison .
