Shortly after leaving the Aicker residence, Andrew received a call from Lauren. She asked, “Dr. Lloyd, have you heard about Mr. Thatcher’s critical condition?”
Andrew was not surprised and replied, “I warned before that his condition was serious, but no one listened, so there wasn’t much I could do.”
Lauren let out a bitter laugh. “Dr. Lloyd, Mr. Thatcher is Jayrodale’s mayor. Would you consider helping him?”
“I’m not in the mood right now,” Andrew declined. “Besides, as the mayor, he’ll have plenty of capable doctors willing to treat him.”
Lauren responded, “Alright. I’ll head over to check on the situation. But if no one else can help, I’ll have to beg for your assistance, Dr. Lloyd. Of course, I understand your terms. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied–even if it means offering myself for your pleasure.”
Hearing Lauren’s alluring laughter, Andrew smiled wryly. Her flirtation with him had certainly become more intense lately.
Just as he ended the call, his phone rang again–this time a call from Marvin.
“What is it?” Andrew answered irritably.
“Mr. Lloyd, I need your help with a situation,” Marvin said gravely.
“Don’t tell me you’re also angling for a shot at being the one to save the mayor?” Andrew sighed.
“No, it’s about the South City Orphanage property. It’s urgent. My people will meet you there, “Marvin explained.
Andrew headed to South City immediately, not questioning further. While he was not particularly concerned about Marvin’s affairs, he would not allow anything to happen to the orphanage’s children and staff.
Meanwhile, at the South City Orphanage.
Christina and her family, along with several Stevens Corporation executives, were meeting with representatives from Wealthroller Investments.
“Ms. Stevens, our project director, is on the way. Please wait a moment,” one of the representatives said politely.
“No problem. We’re in no rush,” Christina replied courteously.
She took pride in the fact that Stevens Corporation had secured an exclusive partnership with Wealthroller Investments for developing this valuable property.
It was a significant milestone for Stevens Corporation, and she felt confident that her

company would soon rival the city’s major establishments. Since separating from Andrew, it seemed her career had only taken off even faster.
Irene beamed with pride as she complimented, “Christie, you’ve made the Stevens family proud. We never imagined we’d be working with Wealthroller Investments!”
Leroy added smugly, “While Mr. Yates‘ Wealthroller Investments is impressive, Christie’s hard work and charm are equally remarkable. I’m sure Mr. Yates is pleased with this partnership.”
Irene agreed enthusiastically, “Yes, exactly. Out of all the companies in Jayrodale, Mr. Yates chose Stevens Corporation, and it’s obviously because of Christie’s skill and talent.”
Though thrilled, Christina cautioned, “Mom, Leroy, lower your voices please. Their director will be here any minute, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to hear this.“,
Irene lowered her voice. “The executives at Wealthroller Investments are Jayrodale’s elite. I heard the person in charge of this project is a senior executive, so we need to make a good impression.”
