hapter 565 Chapter 565 On the stage , Cedric grabbed the microphone and spoke coldly , Apologies to Dr.
Lloyd and all the guests .
Ive come up here to announce something important .
From this moment forward , my eldest apprentice , Simon Gaal , is expelled from my family and teachings ! Gasps rippled through the crowd , followed by a flurry of heated discussions .
Cedric just made a public announcernent like that at Mount Apothecarys grand opening .
The Aickers must have some serious internal conflict ! Simon is Cedrics top apprentice and is also a well known figure in Jayrodale .
What could have happened to make Cedric cast him out ? Ive heard Simons been infatuated with Francesca for years , but shes never been interested .
Maybe thats the real reason Cedric lost his temper ? After making his declaration , Cedric walked off the stage without giving further explanation .
Francesca rushed over , clutching his arm with teary eyes .
Grandpa , what happened ? Why did you drive Simon away ? Whats going on ? she asked in distress .
Cedric huffed .
Fran , today is Dr.
Lloyds big day .
I wont letthat ungrateful scum ruin it .
Just remember if he ever thinks he can have you , itll be over my dead body ! Andrew joined them and sighed .
Dr.
Aicker , was that really necessary : Cedric shook his head apologetically .
Dr.
Lloyd , I lost my composure .
I shouldnt have done that during your ceremony .
Andrew smiled faintly .
I wasnt talking about the timing meant that if you expel Simon , it might weaken the Aickers future .
Cedrics expression hardened .
Even if the Aickers collapses , I wont allow that disgrace to remain under my roof .
Andrew glanced at Francesca .
Fran , stay with your grandfather for now .
Well catch up after the ceremony .
Francesca wiped her tears and nodded .
Dont worry , Andrew .

Ill take care of him .
You go handle the guests .
As Andrew turned to leave , his eyes grew cold .
Natasha , who had been keeping watch from a distance , took the opportunity to approach him .
Need me to step in , darling ? she whispered playfully .
Andrews tone was sharp .
Did you see where Simon went ? Natasha nodded .
He slipped away in a fit of rage while everyone was distracted by Cedrics announcement .
Andrew frowned .
Keep an eye out .
Hes vengeful .
I wouldnt be surprised if he tried to harm Cedric or Francesca .
Natasha chuckled darkly .
If he dares make a move , Ill flay him alive .
She immediately ordered her West End enforcers to secure the area around Moonlit Apothecary .
Just then , another commotion stirred as a group from the Rhodes family arrived .
Andrew raised an eyebrow when he spotted Tiana among them .
He composed himself and walked forward , greeting them with a polite smile .
Lauren , Mrs.
Rhodes , welcome , he said .
Lauren returned his smile warmly .
Dr.
Lloyd , congratulations ! 12 +35 BO +25 BONUS Chapter 565 She presented him with a pair of large posters .
Andrew unrolled them and read the bold words , Dedicated to Healing and Humanity ! and The Best Miracle Doctor ! Thank you , Andrew said with a laugh .
He handed the banners to Dylan , who took them to be displayed later .
Tiana , clad in an elegant dress befitting her stature , gracefully approached , supported by Laurens secretary , Eunice .
Behind her , Jerry led a security team of elite guards , their presence both protective and intimidating .
Mr.
Lloyd , looks like you went all out for this grand opening , Tiana remarked casually .
I take it you spent a pretty penny hiring all these people for the show ?
