Chapter 567 Andrew had not expected his clinics grand opening to draw such arge crowd .


    The flow of congrattory gifts from different guests kept him busy .


    Fortunately , Dn acted as his de facto manager , overseeing the collection of gifts and seating arrangements for the visitors .


    Meanwhile , Francesca and Lauren threw themselves into hosting duties .


    They moved gracefully through the crowd , ensuring everyone had enough food and drinks , their faces glowing with joy .


    Both women were determined to make the event a sess .


    However , Tiana watched all this with a growing scowl .


    Secing Lauren , the celebrated heiress of the Rhodes family and the citys most admired beauty her own daughter acting like a mere server was more than she could tolerate .


    Jerry , Tiana snapped , go get Lauren .


    My daughter is not meant for menial tasks like this ! Before Jerry could move , Marvin chuckled from his seat ned to her .


    Come now , Mrs.


    Rhodes .


    Theyre young and enjoying themselves .


    Let them have this experience .


    Tianas tone hardened .


    If she wants experience , she should be learning to manage Rhodes Corporation as its future CEO , making strategic decisions .


    Not acting like a country maid at Andrews beck and call ! Marvin shook his head , unfazed .


    With all due respect , I think youre missing the point .


    Lauren seems to be genuinely happy .


    And besides , whats wrong with helping Mr.


    Lloyd ? Theyll be family soon enough Tianas face darkened with fury , and she mmed her hand on the table , causing the tea to spill .


    Marvin ! Ill warn you now Andrew thinking he can pursue Lauren is a delusion .


    Who does he think he is ? And dont think I dont see your game .


    Youre using Andrew to bait Lauren and drag Rhodes Corporation into your schemes .


    I wont allow it ! Her cold ,manding voice silenced nearby conversations .


    Even Jerry looked ufortable .


    Everyone knew Tiana had a vtile temper cold as ice but quick to ignite like wildfire .


    Few dared to challenge her , not even her husband , the head of the Rhodes family .


    Despite her outburst , Marvin remained calm and unbothered Mrs.


    Rhodes , you truly believe Lauren is lowering herself by being with Andrew ? Its not about lowering herself , Tiana hissed .


    Its degrading and absurd ! Let me be clear Lauren is already engaged to someone from the Driscoll family in Blumedale .


    Andrew isnt even close to being worthy .


    Youd do well to control him ! Marvin smirked .


    I hate to disappoint you , but thats not something I can do .


    Tianas eyes narrowed with cold rage .


    Marvin , youre mocking me ! This isnt a game .


    Marvin raised his hands in feigned surrender .


    I wouldnt dare mock someone as powerful as you , Mrs.


    Rhdoes .


    But you misunderstand Andrew doesnt answer to me .


    Its quite the opposite .


    Tiana growled , Dont twist the facts with your riddles , Marvin ! I see right through you .


    Whatever youre plotting with Andrew , Rhodes Corporation and my daughter are off- limits .


    At that moment , Cedric approached with a friendly smile .


    Mr.


    Yates , Mrs.


    Rhodes , mind if I join the conversation ? Despite his entricity , Cedrics reputation as a renowned miracle doctor gave him significant influence .


    After Chapter 567 all , people often needed a skilled doctor more than money or power .
