Chapter 568 Chapter 568 Tiana maintained herposure out of respect and nodded slightly .


    Please , have a seat , she said , signaling Cedric to join them .


    Marvin chuckled and chimed in , Cedric , youre different from Mrs.


    Rhodes here .


    Your granddaughter Fran is running around just as much as Lauren , but you dont seem to mind it one bit .


    Cedric stroked his beard with a content smile .


    A little hard work never hurt anyone .


    Once this medical center gets going , I n to have Fran here often to lend a hand .


    Working alongside Dr.


    Lloyd will be invaluable for improving her medical expertise .


    Marvin grinned and nced at Tiana .


    See , Mrs.


    Rhodes ? Thats what I call vision .


    Sure , the girls are hustling around and probably exhausted , but theyre happy .


    And frankly , Mr.


    Lloyd seems to have that kind of charm , doesnt he ? Tianas jaw clenched as she spat through gritted teeth , Nonsense ! Both Cedric and Marvin shared an awkward look , knowing how touchy Tiana could be .


    Despite their equal standing in age and status , neither wanted to cross her vtile temper .


    Speaking of Fran , Tiana began , shifting gears with an icy calm .


    She and Lauren are close in age .


    Fran is a respected chief doctor in Jayrodale General Hospital and a well breddy from a prominent family .


    Have you arranged a marriage for her ? to have an Cedric smirked confidently .


    I leave that up to the young folks .


    However , I have noticed that Fran seems to Interest in Dr.


    Lloyd , and the two get along splendidly .


    So Ill let them develop things naturally .


    Tianas eyes widened in shock .


    You want Fran and Andrew to end up together ? Cedrics gaze hardened .


    Why not ? Is there a problem with that ? With a firm tone , Cedric continued , Let me make one thing clear , Mrs.


    Rhodes .


    Fran and Lauren are like sisters , and if they both have feelings for Dr.


    Lloyd , theyllpete fairly .


    We , as their elders , should stay out of it .


    And for the record , Fran wont be stepping aside just because Lauren has your backing .


    Tiana looked incredulous and said , Cedric , have you lost your mind ? Who told you Lauren is even interested in Andrew ? She shook her head and scoffed , That boy is lucky Im toleating his presence .


    Hes not worthy of Laurens attention , and Ill never allow any rtionship between them ! Cedric , however , broke into a broad grin , pping his hands .


    Perfect ! Thats excellent news ! If Lauren is stepping aside , that clears the way for Fran and Dr.


    Lloyd ! What a cause for celebration ! He chuckled heartily .


    In fact , once this grand opening is over , the Aickers will host a three day feast to celebrate ! Marvinughed along .


    Cedric , your shameless enthusiasm is something else ! Ive got to hand it to you .


    Tiana was fuming .


    Her chest rose and fell in frustration , and her eyes narrowed in disbelief .


    Was Cedric out of his mind ? He seemed all too eager to push his granddaughter toward Andrew as if the man were some priceless Treasure .


    Her thoughts darkened as she observed Marvin and Cedrics camaraderie .


    She thought bitterly , Marvin must have sunk his ws into Cedric too .


    This old fox is manipting everyone , even dragging the Aickers family into his schemes .


    Chapter 560  Inwardly , she cursed Andrew .


    Not only had he enchanted her daughter Lauren , but now Francesca and even Cedric seemed captivated by him .
