This is Mr. Lloyd’s way of teaching me, showing care for me. What are you two even blabbering about? Stay out ng care for me. What are you two even blabbering about? Stay out of it and get lost!”
Christina and Aspen were stunned. They had been trying to help Stephen, but the head of Glorious Pharmaceuticals was yelling at them instead.
Was Andrew really that terrifying?
“Dad, please accept my bow!” Stephen suddenly dropped to his knees, calling Andrew ‘dad‘ in a desperate tone.
His resentment toward the two women from Stevens Corporation had reached its peak. If it were not for them, he never would have ended up in this mess. He had only agreed to the humiliating poster outside because Aspen had suggested it.
That day, Stevens Corporation came to him with three prescriptions, and both parties agreed to work together immediately. However, Aspen added a condition–Stephen had to deal with anyone from Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division.
Not only would he not cooperate with them, but anyone from their team who came to Glorious Pharmaceuticals should be publicly humiliated. Stephen, tempted by the profits from the prescriptions, agreed to the deal.
Now, a small spark had ignited into a full blaze. Instead of reaping any benefits, he had caught a powerful enemy -someone who almost crushed him completely.
Dylan, the underground crime lord, had always been someone Stephen dared not cross. Now, the one leader of the underground world had emerged–someone who ruled all of Jayrodale’s underground networks.
Stephen did not even know how to play this game anymore.
Andrew looked unimpressed and said, “Get up. What just happened was meant to teach you a lesson. Some words have consequences.”
Stephen, standing up and smiling weakly, replied, “You’re right, Mr. Lloyd. I’ll remember this.”
Andrew then glanced at Kenneth, smirking. “Still here, Mr. Mudge? I thought your mom was calling you home for dinner.”
Kenneth was horrified when he realized Andrew had noticed him. He scrambled forward, falling to his knees in front of Andrew. “Please, I’m sorry! If Mr. Brunner calls you ‘dad‘, then you’re just like my ‘granddad‘.” 1
Andrew was momentarily stunned, unable to deny that the logic behind it made sense.
Meanwhile, Stephen had a different outlook, switching his perspective entirely. He had spent millions trying to please Dylan for years, with little success. But now, standing before an even bigger figure in the underground world, he realized he could only bow and play the part.
As a businessman, Stephen immediately recognized an opportunity in this desperate situation.
Without waiting for Andrew to speak, he said, “Mr. Lloyd, I heard you and Mr. Chapman came here to discuss business. Whatever the deal is, I’m more than happy to sign a contract right now.”
Andrew raised an eyebrow. “You don’t even ask what the deal is, and you want to sign a contract?”
Stephen smiled confidently. “No need to ask. From now on, I’m at your service whatever you need, Mr. Lloyd.”
Whether it’s walking through fire, jumping off a building, or even mixing antibiotics with alcohol–if you ask, I’ll do it. If I hesitate, I’m not a man!”

Christina and Aspen were absolutely dumbfounded.
