Chapter 208  Christina turned to Harvey with a cold smile .


    Didnt you just say Finley would kill Andrew ? Things turned out quite differently from what you predicted ! Harvey opened his mouth but could not find the words to exin .


    He , too, was shocked by Ss respect for Andrew .


    That pretty boy must be riding on Mr.


    Yates connections to get such treatment from Mr.


    Vaughn , Michael mocked dismissively .


    Harvey quickly seized the opportunity .


    Thats right ! Mr.


    Vaughn and Mr.


    Yates are close friends .


    Andrew is just hiding behind Mr.


    Yates influence to save his skin .


    Finley growled , Marvin may be Jayrodales richest man and quite the figure .


    But if I want to deal with Andrew , he wont dare interfere .


    This isnt over ! Michael and Harvey exchanged a nce , their eyes brimming with malice and cold calction .


    With the brute Finley joining their side , they felt confident Andrew would eventually fall .


    The underground auction hall at Radiant Group was not particrlyrge , but its decor was nothing short of extravagant .


    The Vault was the most prestigious suite there , usually reserved for family patriarchs and Jayrodales wealthiest elite .


    Under hundreds of envious stares , Andrew and hispanions walked in leisurely .


    The view of the auction from here is amazing ! Francesca eximed with genuine excitement .


    Lauren nced around with her discerning eye , finally nodding in approval .


    Not bad .


    Truly worthy of its reputation .


    However , Andrew was not interested in the surroundings .


    He simply sat down on the plush couch and waited for the Celestial Nymphaea to appear .


    Lauren turned to him with a curious smile .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , are you and Mr.


    Vaughn close ? Not particrly , Andrew replied , shaking his head .


    I just bought a jewel from him once .


    You mean that 7.5 million dor King of Diamonds ? Francesca asked in surprise , to which Andrew simply nodded .


    Francesca was amazed .


    The price tag aside , most people couldnt even buy it from Mr.


    Vaughn if they wanted to it was practically priceless .


    How did you convince him to sell it to you ? ??? I gave him an offer he couldnt refuse , Andrew said casually .


    Both women were intrigued .


    What kind of offer ? With an indifferent tone , Andrew replied , The leader of the Onyx Serpents is Ss boss .


    I Chapter 200 once treated the Onyx Serpents heir , and he owed me a favor for that , I brought it up , and he made one phone call to Ss .


    Lets just say Ss got an earful and handed me the King of Diamonds without hesitation .


    The two women nodded in understanding , knowing Andrews unfathomable medical skills .


    Even someone as powerful as the Onyx Serpents leader might need his help .


    Nheless , they did not know that Andrews connection with the Onyx Serpents ran much deeper .


    That so called heir did not just visit Andrew for medical advice he practically groveled in Andrews presence , addressing him with endless deference like a devotedckey .


    As Jayrodales elite arrived for the auction , a stunning woman in an elegant dress took the stage as auctioneer and announced the start .


    The first few items were unremarkable just antiques , ornaments , and artwork that did not interest Andrew much .


    Lauren and Francesca were there mainly for socialworking .


    They bid on items they liked but mostly sat beside Andrew , watching the proceedings .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , Lauren asked , didnt you have something specific you wanted to bid on today ?
