Chapter 575 Chapter 575  Lauren raised an eyebrow in confusion .


    Who else ? Youre not seriously going to ask Mr.


    Thatcher for money , are you , Dr.


    Lloyd ? Andrew grinned and gestured toward the corner where Finley sat sulking .


    Not Mr.


    Thatcher .


    Its our good friend , Mr.


    Moore .


    His uncles the leader of Hidden Dragons , so hes got deep pockets .


    The mention of Finley made Lauren and Francescas eyes sparkle with anticipation .


    If anyone was perfect for fleecing , it was that unlucky fool .


    With yful determination , the two women followed Andrew , their heels clicking with purpose as they headed straight for Finley .


    Finley was busy drowning his sorrows in liquor when he noticed someone standing beside him .


    He frowned in irritation .


    What now ? Cant a guy drink in peace ? Beat it ! Andrew chuckled softly .


    Drink all you want , Mr.


    Moore , but how about paying your tab first ? Finley froze for a moment before his face twisted in disbelief .


    He looked up and saw Andrew standing there , smiling casually .


    His eyes widened in shock .


    Andrew ? How the hell did you sneak up on me ? The men at Finleys table tensed , their expressions wary as they watched Andrew closely .


    Andrew did not bother to acknowledge them .


    He kept his focus on Finley and continued in a friendly tone Mr.


    Moore , youve been enjoying yourself- drinking , eating , even leaving bones all over the table .


    But you see , all of this costs money .


    So how about contributing to the asion ? Finleys face darkened immediately .


    He mmed his ss down in frustration .


    Are you serious , Andrew ? I had a couple of drinks and some food , and now youre shaking me down like I owe you something ? He could not believe it .


    Never in his life had he seen a host openly ask a guest for money like this .


    It was humiliating , and in his eyes ,pletely beneath someone of Andrews status .


    Andrew kept his smile intact .


    Small business , Mr.


    Moore .


    You know how it is.


    Surely , you wouldnt want toe across as stingy , right ? And with your Hidden Dragons connections , Im sure youre not strapped for cash .


    The i jab hit its mark , and Finley bristled .


    Are you calling me cheap ? he snapped , clenching his jaw .


    He reached into his pocket and yanked out a wad of cash .


    pping it down on the table , he sneered , There ! Thats 1500 bucks .


    Take it and get out of my face ! Andrew calmly picked up the cash and handed it to Francesca , who beamed as she counted it .


    Hmm , 15 bills .


    Exactly 1500 dors , she confirmed cheerfully .


    Finley scoffed , crossing his arms .


    Thats more than enough for this cheap spread .


    Outside , this wouldnt cost more than 600 dors .


    Consider that extra 900 a favor .


    Andrew shook his head , feigning disappointment .


    Still not enough , Mr.


    Moore , Honestly , its pretty embarrassing Finleys eye twitched as he crossed his arms .


    Excuse me ? 1500 dors isnt enough ? Of course not , Andrew replied , his expression serious .


    Given your standing , thats pocket change .


    Its not about the food its about your reputation .


    Imagine word getting back to your uncle that you showed up to a celebration and barely contributed .


    Do you really want to embarrass him like that ? Finleys face turned red with fury .


    Heughed bitterly and leaned forward .


    Wow .


    Youve got no shame , Andrew .


    Youll pull any trick just to squeeze a few more bucks out of people , huh ?
