Andrew said dismissively, “I simply don’t want useless people interfering with our partnership. Ms. Stevens, don’t forget that I control half of this project.”
Irene and Leroy were fuming but did not dare speak up. They had hoped to profit from the project through Christina, their capable daughter and sister. However, they would have to back off if Andrew disagreed.
“Mr. Lloyd, rest assured that my mother and brother won’t receive any special treatment on the South City project,” Christina stated firmly.
“I know how to separate business from personal matters! Though I must say, your narrow- mindedness is quite disappointing,” she added before walking into the office with a cold expression.
Irene smirked. “Andrew, Christie is my daughter and Leroy’s sister. An outsider like you can never compete with family, so give it up!”

Conan stood up abruptly, his face menacing. “You little punk! Who are you to tell me what to do? Listen closely: Thrive Enterprise controls all the materials in Jayrodale. With your attitude, this project might as well be dead in the water.”

Christina quickly tried to salvage the situation as Conan and his bodyguards prepared to l “Mr. Huxley, please forgive my brother’s rudeness. He doesn’t know better. Please sit dow We can discuss everything.”
After temporarily calming Conan, Christina turned to Leroy with an icy glare. now or get out.”

“Christie, this piece of trash acts like we’re begging him,” Leroy protested indignantly. “I won’t stroke his ego!”
Andrew shook his head as he heard this. With Leroy’s temperament, it was only a matter of time before he caused serious trouble.
