Chapter 256
Atlas’s eye twitched nervously as he pulled at Finley’s sleeve. “Mr. Moore, let’s get out of here. This madman has completely lost it today. It’s best not to provoke him further.”
Finley, already unnerved by Michael’s pitiful state, could not have agreed more as he quickly made his escape. Meanwhile, Michael was seething with murderous rage but knew better than to fight back, especially since his bodyguard Bane was not present today.
“Andrew, Lauren, you’ll both pay for this,” Michael threatened as he fled, covering his swollen face.
Lauren whistled loudly and called out to the departing crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t miss this! Michael, the heir who excels at gambling, drinking, and watching inappropriate videos alone in his room!”
The crowd burst into laughter, making Michael stumble at the doorway. His reputation was completely destroyed, and he cursed Lauren and Andrew as he ran away in humiliation.
Francesca doubled over with laughter. “Lauren, you’re absolutely ruthless! How will Michael ever show his face in public again?”
“He did it to himself,” Lauren sniffed. “That bastard kept picking fights with Dr. Lloyd. He deserved it.”
As they left the Weller estate, Francesca remarked, “Harvey’s definitely made an enemy of Andrew today. Who knows what that psychopath might do next?”
“If he’s that eager to join his father, I’ll be happy to arrange it,” Andrew replied coldly.
Lauren quickly interjected, “Enough of this dark talk, let’s celebrate! The medical center is finally complete!”
“What are we celebrating?” Francesca asked.
Lauren replied, “We’re celebrating Dr. Lloyd’s new medical center. It’s finally ready.”
“So soon?” Andrew asked in surprise.
Lauren beamed with pride and replied, “Yes. I kept my promise. We’ve built you the finest medical center in Jayrodale. Your reputation as a master physician will spread far and wide!”
“In that case, let me treat you both to dinner,” Andrew offered. “It’s the least I can do to thank Ms. Rhodes.”
Lauren agreed cheerfully, saying, “Fine by me! As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
The clinic had been built on the property Andrew had acquired from the Weller family, with Lauren’s construction team working at incredible speed. The three of them found a quiet, elegant private restaurant to celebrate.
After ordering several house specialties, Francesa suggested, “How about we open some bottles?”
Lauren’s eyes lit up as she enthusiastically agreed, “Absolutely! The opening of Dr. Lloyd’s clinic is a special occasion. We need to celebrate it the right way!”
