    Weller Senior is here ? Well then , lets see what theyre really up to .


    Upon entering the main hall , Andrew noticed not only the Weller family members but also Christina .


    When she caught Andrews nce , Christina remained expressionless and turned .


    away .


    Harvey smirked , looking down at Andrew with contempt .


    Lauren greeted Kane respectfully , acknowledging his status as one of Jayrodales most influential family patriarchs .


    His local influence sometimes exceeded even the mayors , particrly in matters concerning traditional martial arts circles .


    Lauren , its been years since Ive seen you ! Kane chuckled before breaking into a cough , quickly covering his mouth with a white handkerchief .


    Though Kane tried to be discreet , Andrews keen eye caught sight of blood on the cloth , and noting Kanes paleplexion and dim eyes , he could tell the man was gravely ill .


    Mr.


    Weller Senior , if youre unwell , we can discuss this another time , Lauren offered considerately , hesitant to bring up the club purchase given his condition .


    Kane waved off her concern : Its just an old condition .


    Lets get down to business .


    Everyone took their seats , and Kanes gaze lingered on Andrew .


    Even though it onlysted seconds , Andrew could not ignore the coldness and hostility in the mans eyes .


    The Weller family has fallen on hard times , and with my illness , I have no choice but to sell the Oakridge Club for operating capital , Kane exined slowly .


    Lauren nodded sympathetically .


    I understand your predicament , Mr.


    Weller Senior .


    Running a prestigious family business requires substantial daily expenses .


    Please be assured that the Rhodes family will help however we can .


    Youre much more generous than your penny pinching father .


    I like that , Kane said ,ughing .


    You know , you and Harvey would have made a perfect match .


    Its quite a shame that fate had other ns .


    Youre too kind , Mr.


    Weller Senior , Lauren replied .


    Harvey is far too aplished for me .


    Besides , my heart now belongs to someone else .


    Kane nced at Andrew , And I assume that would be Mr.


    Lloyd here ? Yes , Dr.


    Lloyd is indeed the one Ive chosen , Lauren confirmed without hesitation , causing Andrew to feel slightly embarrassed .


    Behind Kane , Christina shot Andrew a cold , unreadable look , +26 BONUS Chapter 187 Kane forced a smile .


    Mr.


    Lloyd is undoubtedly aline young man , and its no surprise hes captured your attention .


    But I heard the Rhodes family has a strict tradition of arranging marriages within prestigious familles .


    Frankly , Mr.


    Lloyds background is … ordinary , to put it kindly .


    Hecks the kind of standing that would make such a union viable .


    From the perspective of a family head , Id suggest you reconsider .


    It may be best for you both to part ways now and spare yourselves from unrealistic expectations .
