Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2135

These people also knew that before Andrew left Jayrodale, he had already fought his way across the city, leaving no rival standing. None of the great families in the city had dared to lift a finger against him.

Now that he returned, he carried himself with surprising humility.

"Marvin, let's skip the small talk. You've been here in Jayrodale long enough. Come to Blumedale." Andrew got straight to the point.

Marvin's hand froze while pouring tea, unable to believe what he heard. "Mr. Lloyd, you…"

He quickly stopped himself and waved his hand, shooing away all the other people out of the room. Then, he turned to Andrew, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Mr. Lloyd, are you planning to reveal your identity and directly confront those in Chetvine?"

Andrew nodded calmly. "Yes. The time has come. It's time I went back and faced it."

Marvin's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Good, that's wonderful! In that case, staying here in Jayrodale would be pointless. Wherever you want me to go, I'll go. I'll follow all your arrangements!"

Aspen quickly handed him a tissue. "Mr. Yates, wipe your tears. Don't get so worked up."

Marvin glanced at her with a smile. "Miss, you're blessed. Not only you, but even your Bridgefield family will rise to the heavens with him. Being with Mr. Lloyd means that even if you never give him an heir, you'll still be treated like a queen."

Marvin nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Lloyd. I'll arrange everything properly. Although the business isn't huge, there's still quite a bit of money. This will all be for your wedding expenses and reception costs in the future! Since Mr. Lloyd Senior isn't handling things now, I can only worry about these matters for you!"

Of course, he was referring to Andrew's father, Reginald.

Andrew patted his shoulder and laughed. "Marvin, don't work yourself so hard. Take a break! In the future, I'll handle my own affairs, and you can just enjoy your retirement!"

Marvin's face twisted. "Forget it. I've been a servant of the Lloyd family all my life. Neither your father nor you has ever been easy to look after. How could I stop worrying now?"

Unable to put up with Marvin's nagging, Andrew eventually excused himself. His next stop was the Moonlit Apothecary, the very first business he had founded in Jayrodale.
