Chapter 480
Serena giggled and said, “Like him? Not exactly. But men are always better when they’re young -more energy, better in bed, and they actually know how to please a woman.”
She continued with a sneer, “Besides, Harvey’s not just young; he’s the head of the family. He can give me everything I want. But you? You’re useless in bed and can’t afford to buy me anything. What do I need you for?”
Brad was humiliated beyond words. He glared at her with a searing hatred in his eyes and spat, “You’ll regret this, you shameless woman! Both you and Harvey deserve to be struck by lightning!”
With his face twisted in rage, Brad stormed out of the Weller residence, his heart filled with bitterness.
Serena scoffed as she watched him leave. “Old fool! He can’t even last for even a few extra seconds, and he still thinks I need him. How pathetic!”
Meanwhile, four grueling hours had passed, and the two major underground forces of Jayrodale were still combing the city for Lucy.
At Rhodes Corporation, Marcus was in torment. Every passing minute felt like an eternity, and the longer it went on, the greater the danger to Lucy.
Lauren was visibly worried and glanced at Andrew, seeking reassurance.
Andrew stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the bustling streets through the windows. He said calmly, “No need to rush. I trust Natasha and Dylan’s abilities.”
He added, “Besides, Harvey hasn’t gotten what he wants yet. He won’t hurt Lucy until he does.
Marcus sighed in pain. “I understand that, but Lucy is all I have. Her mom passed away when she was little, and I’ve raised her on my own ever since.”
His voice cracked as he went on. “I can’t sit still, knowing she’s out there, terrified. Lucy’s always been shy and timid. I can’t even imagine the fear she’s feeling in the hands of those. criminals!”
Andrew’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning cold. “Lucy isn’t just your daughter. She was also my patient once.”
He declared firmly, “If we don’t have results by nightfall, I’ll personally go to the Weller residence and force Harvey to hand her over. And if that scumbag dares to go back on his word, I’ll kill him myself!”
Both Marcus and Lauren were stunned. They never expected the usually composed Andrew to erupt with such a commanding presence.

Just then, Andrew’s phone buzzed. It was Natasha
She teased, “Hey, darling. We found the girl you were looking for.”
Andrew let out a relieved breath. “How’s Lucy? She’s okay, right?”
Natasha chuckled. “Of course, she’s fine! I handled it personally. She’s safe at my place in West End, being well–fed and taken care of.”
Andrew nodded. “Thank you. Now, send the people who kidnapped her over to the Jayrodale Police Department.”
Natasha sounded surprised. “The police? Why would we hand them over? These guys are wanted fugitives with major crimes qn their records. If we send them to the cops, that fat pig Donald will get all the credit. Isn’t that letting him off too easy?”
Andrew smirked. “That’s exactly why. I want to do Donald a favor. I’ll need him for something later.”
Natasha giggled. “Fine, fine. You’re the mastermind here. I’ll do as you say.”
After ending the call, Andrew turned to Marcus and Lauren. “Let’s go. We’re heading to the police station.”
Marcus’s eyes filled with hope. “Mr. Lloyd, is Lucy really okay?”
Andrew smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. She’s fine. I’ve arranged for the people who kidnapped her to be delivered to the police station. You’ll see her there.”
Tears welled up in Marcus’s eyes as he jumped out of bed. Overcome with gratitude, he dropped to his knees in front of Andrew. “Mr. Lloyd, you’ve saved Lucy again. This is the only way I can express my thanks to you.”
