Chapter 648
Tiana clenched her teeth. “Andrew, enough is enough. You re already hit him and vented your anger. Don’t push your luck”
Andrew’s face was expressionless as he responded, “I don’t care about that. I just want to ask one thing–did Michael deserve to get slapped or not?”
Tiana’s face darkened as she glared at Michael. Despite being a member of the family, Michael’s inability to control his temper had made him an easy target.
Andrew had taken full advantage of the situation, and even if she wanted to defend Michael, there was not much she could do. After all, a major shareholder like Andrew demanded a certain level of respect.
“Mr. Lloyd,” Tiana finally said in a clipped tone, “you’ve made your point. Let’s just end this here. I don’t want anyone questioning my decisions.”
Michael, still holding his swollen face, had no choice but to swallow his anger. He knew he had acted impulsively and now had to suffer the consequences. Quietly, he thanked his luck that Andrew had not hit him any harder.
Lauren, meanwhile, felt a surge of satisfaction watching Andrew handle Michael. She smiled warmly and said, Dr. Lloyd, what brings you here?”
Andrew chuckled. “I came to check if anyone’s been giving my girlfriend a hard time. As her man, it’s my job to protect her.”

Michael clenched his fists in fury at Andrew’s words, thinking, ‘Andrew, you bastard, just wait. I’ll make you pay for this someday.”
Andrew gently took Lauren’s hand and said, “Let’s go. The issue with the factory has already been resolved.”
Lauren’s eyes widened in surprise. “Resolved? But all the factories under the Pharmaceutical Division are already booked.”
Andrew glanced at Michael and smirked. “There’s more than one pharmaceutical manufacturer in Jayrodale. Glorious Pharmaceuticals has already started production for us and is working overtime to meet our needs.”
Lauren stared at him, stunned. “Glorious Pharmaceuticals? That’s the largest manufacturer in the city! Dr. Lloyd, how did you manage to get Stephen to cooperate? That guy’s a powerhouse who plays both sides he’s not easy
deal with.”
Andrew grinned, “Simple. I gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
Tiana, suspicious, narrowed her eyes. “Are you seriously telling me you got Glorious Pharmaceuticals to start production?”
Andrew and Lauren walked out the door without turning back. “Not asked. Demanded,” Andrew replied as they exited.

Tiana’s eyes flashed with disbelief. “Demanded? From Stephen? Don’t make me laugh. He wouldn’t even show me that kind of respect.”
Michael crossed his arms, sneering. “Aunt Tiana, come on. There’s no way Andrew could sway Stephen. I’d be more likely to see the sun rise in the west.”
Tiana scoffed. “Stephen doesn’t even care about my influence anymore. Check with Glorious Pharmaceuticals to see if Andrew’s telling the truth. If he is, then Stephen has some explaining to do.”
Michael immediately pulled out his phone and searched for Stephen’s number. As he dialed, he muttered

confidently, “Aunt Tiana, don’t worry. Stephen is all about profit. If he ignored your offers, there’s no way Andrew. could have made him budge.
He smirked as the phone rang. “I’ll make you a promise- Stephen really started production for Andrew, I’ll live
stream myself eating shit tonight.”
