“Grandpa, you’re so embarrassing…” Francesca groaned.
Andrew smiled gently and said, “Let’s head home–the event is wrapping up anyway.”
Elsie watched enviously from the side, thinking how a man who could casually give away such a valuable crystal must be irresistible to women.
Suddenly, Andrew turned to her with a smile and said, “Ms. Santana, you’ve been a great help today. After you process those crystals, please take a ten million commission for yourself.”
“Really, Mr. Lloyd?” Elsie asked, both surprised and delighted.
Andrew nodded. “Of course. If you hadn’t invited me to this auction, I wouldn’t have had the chance to make such a fortune.”
Even though Elsie was well–to–do herself and mingled with upper society, Andrew’s generosity certainly taught her off guard.
Seeing Elsie’s admiring gaze toward Andrew, Francesca felt uneasy and urged, “Andrew, Grandpa, let’s get going. Thank you for everything, Ms. Santana.”
“Mr. Lloyd, you should take the VIP exit to avoid unwanted attention,” Elsie suggested.
Andrew agreed, knowing he was carrying priceless treasures, and Radiant Group needed to protect their valuable clients from potential targeting.
Just as they left through the private exit, several police cars screeched to a halt in front of them. Officers jumped out and moved to make arrests without explanation.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Cedric demanded angrily.
A heavyset man in sunglasses slowly emerged from one of the cars. He removed his sunglasses and said, “Dr. Aicker, though you’re Jayrodale’s miracle doctor, I’ll have to arrest you if you obstruct justice.”
“Mr. Warren, I don’t understand how we’re obstructing justice,” Cedric replied.
Donald smirked and pointed at Andrew and Elsie “I received reports that these two colluded to defraud clients at the auction. It’s a serious offense.”
Elsie replied coldly, “Mr. Warren, Radiant Group conducts business with utmost integrity. Do you have any evidence for such accusations?”
Donald snorted and pointed at Andrew’s security case. “Isn’t this evidence enough? Take them and the stolen goods into custody,” he ordered.
“Mr. Warren, if you go too far, I’ll have to involve Mr. Vaughn,” Elsie warned.
However, Donald remained unfazed. “Don’t try to pressure me with Silas. I’m enforcing the law–I’d arrest them even if Silas himself were here.”

As Elsie tried to protest further, Andrew stopped her calmly. “It’s fine. Let him arrest us if he wants.”
Donald stepped forward, looking down at Andrew menacingly. “You might have gotten the money, but who says you’ll live to spend it?”
