Chapter 544 Im an outsider , so its fine if Mrs.
Rhodes doesnt reward me, Ms.
Rhodes hasnt even been promoted in the slightest .
It seems the corruption within Rhodes Corporation is quite thorough , Andrew said .
Tiana was truly enraged this time .
Andrew , watch your tongue ! Do you even realize that not even Marvin , the man behind you , would dare speak to me like this ? Andrew replied indifferently , If Mrs.
Rhodes can do as she pleases , why cant others speak their minds ? If you want to shut me up , then just go ahead and distribute the rewards fairly .
Give Ms.
Rhodes what she deserves without dy .
Tiana , clearly exasperated , gritted her teeth .
Lauren is my biological daughter .
What shes due , Ill never withhold from her .
Fine .
Ill satisfy your little scheme .
Lauren will be the first priority candidate for the CEO position .
Is that enough for you now ? Andrew smiled .
Mrs.
Rhodes is fair and just , as expected from the matriarch of Rhodes Corporation .
Im impressed .
Tiana snorted coldly .
This little troublemaker actually imed to admire her ? What nonsense .
It was nothing but an act of smooth talking ! Michaels face turned pale .
Aunt Tiana , what about me ? You cant be biased ! At the very least , it should be fairpetition between Lauren and me .
How can you give her priority ? Tiana snapped in frustration .
Enough ! Dont you think youve embarrassed yourself enough already ? Not demoting you to a department manager is already my greatest mercy .
Michael dared not push further .
His face was ashen , his fists clenched tightly , and he looked as though he was about to copse .
The executives who had sided with Michael were also devastated , sighing heavily .
If they had known this would happen , they wouldnt have thrown their support behind Michael so quickly .
Now it was clear .
With Lauren having Andrew as her formidable ally , even if Michael had the numbers and controlled more than half of the corporations departments it wasnt enough to win .
Andrew Lloyd … What a troublesome figure to deal with ! At this moment , Tiana let out a coldugh .
Marvin taught you how to be sharp tongued and relentless when youre on top .
But it seems he never taught you the importance of knowing your limits , understanding reason , and knowing when to advance or retreat .
Thats how you survive longer .
Her face was full of contempt as she looked at Andrew , her expression mocking .
It was the look of someone in a position of power , gazing down at someone she considered a mere nuisance .
She stepped closer to Andrew , sneering .
Do you think that as a nobody , stirring up trouble and giving orders within Rhodes Corporation , youve achieved something great ? Andrew shrugged .
Honestly ? Its not bad at all .
Tianas face turned icy as her tone grew colder .
Your smooth talk proves nothing .
All it shows is that youre a petty man with a little wit , trying to act clever .
Once a small man gains power , he seizes on others mistakes relentlessly .
Meanwhile , his own abilities are hardly worth mentioning .
People like that ? Thats you .
1/2 Chapter 544 Andrew replied calmly , If you dont like me , thats fine , because , honestly , I dont care for your lofty attitude either .
Everyone , including Michael and his supporters , drew in sharp breaths .
Andrew was truly bold or insane to confront Tiana so openly .
Even Jerry , who had remained silent all this time , subtly signaled to Andrew , trying to warn him not to sh head- on with Tiana .
Clearly , Jerry thought that while Andrew might be exceptional , he wasnt yet on Tianas level .
Lauren , on the other hand , was growing increasingly anxious .
She worried that Tiana might hold a grudge against Andrew and retaliate recklessly .
If that happened , it would be real trouble !
