Chapter 573 Chapter 573 +15 BONUS Holy ! Its a whole platter of solid gold bars .
Madblade Martial Academy sure knows how to make a statement ! Seriously , how much would all that gold be worth ? Must be at least a few million dollars .
Are they really trying to cozy up to Moonlit Apothecary that hard ? The extravagant gift had everyone buzzing .
Even Francesca and Lauren were momentarily stunned .
Mr.
Sanford , this is way too much .
Youre just here for a meal .
Theres no need for such a grand gesture .
Please , take it back , Francesca said , extending the tray toward Rochey .
While she was pleased with Andrew receiving gifts , this level of generosity was overwhelming .
Her kind hearted nature made her feel awkward accepting so much gold .
Rodney waved it off with a smile .
Ms.
Aicker , please , just accept it for Dr.
Lloyds sake .
Its really not that much .
There was no way Rodney intended to take back the gift .
However , his grand gesture was not just about generosity -it had a deeper motive .

Curious and humbled by the encounter , Rodney discreetly vestigated Andrews background and was stunned by what he found .
Both Harvey and Michael powerful figures in Jayrodale had been defeated by Andrew .
Not only that , but Andrew now seemed to have full control of the citys underworld , with Dylan and Natasha , two feared crime lords , under his command .
Rodney knew then that Madblade Martial Academy could not afford to antagonize Andrew anymore .
His grudge over the earlier incident faded in the face of cold , hard reality .
Though Rodney was brash by nature , he was not a fool .
He even informed his father , Vince , the academys founder , who was in deep seclusion .
Vinces only advice was simple it was better for them to submit than to be destroyed .

Francesca , still unsure , looked to Andrew for guidance .
I dont know what to do .
Youre the owner of Moonlit Apothecary .
Should we accept it or not ? Andrew spoke decisively .
Of course were accepting it ! This much gold is no joke .
Francesca raised a brow , amused .
Thats funny you didnt seem so eager to accept it before .
Lauren chimed in , her curiosity piqued .
Yeah , Dr.
Lloyd , you changed your mind pretty fast .
Andrew , unfazed , replied smoothly , Earlier , I didnt want to take it because I didnt want to owe Mr.
Sanford any favors .
But now that Ive seen how tempting this mountain of gold looks , well … I cant just let it go .
He smirked and added , As they say , turning down money is a fools game .
Right , Mr.
Sanford ? Rodneys face twitched as he forced out a strained response R right .
Exactly ! What a shameless guy ! Rodney thought bitterly .
He couldve just said he wanted the gold outright instead of pretending to be all noble Francesca burst into laughter , covering her mouth as she shook her head at Andrew .
She should have known he 1/2 Chapter 573 was a gold digger .
Lauren also giggled at how Andrew had his greedy moment and was not always the perfect gentleman .
It was clear to both women now when it came to profits , Andrew did not hesitate to claim his share .
