Andrew frowned as he glanced at the arrogant woman before him. Though attractive, her superiority complex was something he could not stand.

“I suppose this is Aspen Stevens from the Bridgefields‘ Stevens family?” surprise.
Aspen smiled condescendingly and replied, “Mr. Garner, I’m surprised you know who I am. I didn’t realize my reputation had spread so far into Jayrodale.”
“You’re indeed well–known for both your business acumen and martial arts skills,” Dylan said coldly. “However, this isn’t Bridgefields–it’s Jayrodale, and such a high–profile attitude might not serve you well here.”
Aspen responded with unwavering confidence, “Mr. Garner, you should worry about yourself first. I hear South City is about to fall into Mr. Giordano’s hands from the Northern District.”
She paused before adding, “As it happens, I have quite a good relationship with Mr. Giordano. If you ask nicely, I might put in a good word for South City.”
Dylan scoffed. “Who do you think you are? Even with your capabilities, you’re still an outsider, and Jayrodale’s underground affairs don’t need your interference.”
Aspen’s eyes turned cold as she mocked, “No wonder you’ve amounted to nothing. Instead of properly managing South City, you’re here defending some kept man. Don’t you think that’s beneath your position as South City’s leader?”
Dylan was furious that this insufferable woman dared disrespect Andrew.
“Let’s go handle our business. There’s no need to stoop to their level and be as petty,” Andrew said calmly.
Dylan laughed, “You’re right, Mr. Lloyd, though that bite did sting. You should know, a bitch’s bites hurt the most.”
“What did you just say?” Aspen’s face turned ice–cold.
Christina’s expression changed, and she angrily said, “Andrew, don’t you think that was going too far? Apologize to Aspen right now, and I’ll make sure she lets this go.”
“Apologize? For what?” Andrew replied with a wry smile. “If I recall correctly, your dear Aspen was the one who started this, not us.”
Christina gritted her teeth and said, “Aspen may be outspoken, but she meant no harm. Do you think it’s appropriate to speak about a woman that way?”
“Christie, don’t waste your breath on such crude, low–class people,” Aspen interrupted with a cold laugh.
She turned to Andrew and continued, “I heard you helped the Steven family by driving Harvey

away from the Weller family. On our way here, Christie couldn’t stop singing your praises, and I thought you might have some potential.”
She paused before adding, “I was even considering that if you proved worthy, Christie getting back together with you wouldn’t be such a bad thing. But now I see you’re nothing special- just a manipulative opportunist with a petty heart.”
“What kind of person I am isn’t your concern,” Andrew shrugged, “And are all you Stevens this brainless? Who told you I wanted to get back together with Christina?”
Aspen sneered. “Oh, don’t you? If you didn’t, why did you go to such lengths to get Mr. Stevens Senior involved?”
“When did I ever approach Mr. Stevens Senior?” Andrew asked with furrowed brows.
“Still denying it?” Aspen crossed her arms mockingly. “Christie might be too naive to see through your schemes, but I’m not so easily fooled.”
