Chapter 650 Michael scowled , his frustration evident .


    So what now ? If Andrews form gets produced by Glorious Pharmaceuticals , does that mean Ill be outperformed ? Tianas lips curled into a mocking smile .


    Whats the matter ? Dont tell me you have no confidence in yourself .


    Michaels face flushed .


    Its not about confidence .


    I just dont want things to keep going sideways .


    I was this close to securing the CEO position , but now Im worried Andrew will pull some stunt and mess it all up again .


    Tiana replied calmly , Ill admit , it surprised me that Andrew could sway Stephen .


    But without a solid form- or if what he has turns out to be trash it wont be enough topete with you .


    Bane is a top expert from the Advanced Medical Institute , and Im putting my faith in him and you to restore the Pharmaceutical Divisions standing Hearing this , Michaels anger faded , reced by a smug gr .


    Thank you for trusting me , Aunt Tiana .


    Dont worr Bane will help us achieve great things for the division .


    Meanwhile , in Laurens office , Marcus was recounting the events from earlier that morning .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , you had Dn rough up Stephen ? Is that the irresistible reason you mentioned ? Lauren asked , her .


    eyes wide with surprise .


    Andrew sighed .


    I wasnt nning on getting physical , but Stephen and his people at Glorious Pharmaceuticals were acting so arrogant .


    I had no choice but to teach them a little lesson .


    Lauren giggled .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , youre getting more domineering by the day .


    Stephen is a well known powerhouse in Jayrodale , a hands on businessman with ties to the underworld .


    Most people wouldnt dare provoke him .


    Andrew grinned .


    Actually , I won him over with my charm .


    Believe me ? Lauren covered her mouth ,ughing .


    Oh , sure .


    I totally believe that ! Marcus chuckled .


    Well , now that Glorious Pharmaceuticals is producing for us , well soon see how Mr.


    Lloyds resultspare to Banes .


    Laurens expression turned serious .


    Both Mom and Michael have high expectations for Bane .


    Lets just hope he can live up to them .


    Marcus nodded .


    Im only putting my faith in Mr.


    Lloyd .


    Lauren smiled sweetly .


    What a coincidence .


    So am I.


    After a brief chat , Marcus left to return to the Pharmaceutical Division , leaving Andrew and Lauren alone .


    Andrew paused for a moment before asking , Lauren , is something going on ? Has your mother been pressuring you in some way ? Laurens body tensed slightly , though she forced a smile .


    No , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    Why would you ask that ? You know personality no one , not even my mother , can control me my Andrew watched her silently , his gaze steady and piercing .


    Under his intense stare , Laurens forced smile gradually faded , and she looked away , nervous .


    Actually , I overheard your conversation with Mrs.


    Rhodes earlier , Andrew said softly .


    Joe hes the fiance your family arranged for you , isnt he ? Lauren panicked .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , please believe me ! I havent done anything to betray you .


    I swear ! Chapter 650  Andrew Shook his head gently and took her hand in his .


    His voice was calm and warm .


    Silly girl , of course , I believe you .


    If I didnt , I wouldnt still be here at Rhodes Corporation .


    He added , Now tell me who is Joe ? And what exactly does the Rhodes family expect from you ?
