Andrew said, “Perfect timing. I’m here to take Lauren with me, and while I’m at it, I’d like to ask her hand in marriage.”
Tiana’s face twisted in shock and fury the moment he said those words.
The rest of the Rhodes family instantly turned toward Andrew with blazing eyes, their expressions filled with
outrage.
“Kid, who the hell do you think you are? You think you’re worthy of asking Lauren for her hand in marriage?”
“Get lost already, Lauren would never end up with someone like you. Joe is the only one truly fit to marry our Lauren!”
Another chimed in, “I’ve heard about you for a while now Andrew Lloyd from Jayrodale, right? Let me give you a piece of advice: if you value your life, turn around and leave. But if you’re set on dying, then by all means, keep acting like a fool!”
Voices filled with scorn and rage came crashing down on Andrew from all directions, relentless and merciless.
Jameson walked over with a helpless look and stood in front of Andrew, trying to calm things down. “Andy, don’t take it personally. The Rhodes family is dealing with a serious crisis right now, and everyone’s on edge.”
Andrew nodded and said, “Mr. Rhodes, I can tell. It does look like something big’s about to go down. If there’s any way I can help, just say the word.”
But Jameson quickly shook his head and replied, “Thanks for the offer, but there’s no need. Our family matters are not something you should get involved in.”
Tiana sneered and said, “You should just worry about yourself. Leave the Rhodes residence while you still can. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I can’t protect you when things go down.”
Andrew frowned slightly. The way Tiana said that felt like someone dangerous was about to storm through their gates. Moreover, from the look on the rest of the Rhodes family’s faces, it was like they were all sitting on a ticking time bomb, their panic barely contained.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed from the front doors. Someone had just kicked them wide open.
Right after that came the sharp cries of security guards being taken down.
“It’s bad. They’re here!” Tiana’s face darkened instantly, her tone grim and heavy.
The rest of the Rhodes family looked like they had seen death itself, their bodies stiff with fear.
Andrew, however, remained calm as he turned to look toward the door. Footsteps echoed steadily from outside, growing louder as several figures walked in without a hint of rush.
Leading them was a burly old man with a face covered in a full beard, who emitted a terrifying presence that filled the room like a storm. He carried the kind of savage, brutal aura that made it hard to even breathe in his presence.

Behind him followed two disciples–one man, one woman and lastly, two
Kenny and his daughter, Sherilyn.
“Jameson, get down from that seat Starting now, Kenny is the new head of the Rhodes family,” the old man ordered without hesitation.
His voice was full of arrogance like he was merely giving out a casual command. At the head of the room, Jameson

sat in the main chair, his face frozen cold.
“Mr. Haywood Senior. As a master of the southern martial world, aren’t you stepping way out of line by interfering in the Rhodes family’s private affairs?”
This was Aidan Haywood. A legendary figure from Holtriens southern martial circles–said to have already reached the rank of martial king.
He was ranked fifth on the Underworld Index, even higher than Zachary, whom Andrew had recently encountered.
“Out of line? The Rhodes are just ants beneath my feet. I’m giving you a chance to back down gracefully, to hand over power without bloodshed. But if I lose my patience and decide to wipe out you and your wife… well, that won’t be fun for anyone.”
The bearded Aidan chuckled. At a glance, one could tell he was a ruthless man, and the moment he spoke, the entire Rhodes family turned pale.
Disaster had truly come knowing, and even Tiana’s face went slightly white, filled with barely contained rage and humiliation.
