Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Oscar said, "There's a lowlife strutting around like he owns the place, and I can't stand it! So, I figured I'd ask you to swing by, Mr. Golding, and show this clown what real power looks like. Help me put some respect on my name, you feel me?" Elon replied, "Alright, since you've served me well before, I'll come over!"

Oscar was overjoyed, grinning so wide his face almost twisted. "Great! I'll be at the hotel waiting for you, Mr. Golding! That little punk tried to steal my girl! Mr. Golding, don't hold back when you see him! I want him humiliated so bad he'll wish he never showed up!"

Elon scoffed. "Got it. Just showing up is enough to make anyone back off. Whatever effect you want, I'll make it happen!"

After hanging up, Oscar sneered, rubbing his hands together. He just needed Elon to show up, and his moment to shine would finally begin.

...

In the private room, they were well into the meal, with multiple rounds of drinks and various dishes served. When Oscar returned and saw the scene, his face turned green. He could not believe that no one bothered to call him.

The dishes were mostly leftovers, and the drinks were almost finished, leaving Oscar feeling both hungry and unsatisfied.

Meanwhile, Zephyr and Andrew were still engrossed in conversation.

"Mr. Lloyd, tomorrow is the highly anticipated Grand Medical Summit. We just arrived in Blumedale and aren't fully caught up on the news. Who are the frontrunners this time? Advanced Medical Institute? Mosby? Or maybe the Traditional Medicine Association?"

Andrew answered calmly, "From what I've gathered, it's a heated rivalry between Blumedale Hospital on one side, and Mosby and the Advanced Medical Institute on the other. These two sides are the most likely to come out on top!"

Zephyr sighed, "Those who can participate in the Grand Medical Summit are all top figures in the medical field. Any single one of them would have countless powers scrambling to build connections!"

Aspen suddenly chimed in, "You guys probably don't know this yet, but Mr. Lloyd is also attending the Grand Medical Summit."

That statement left Zephyr and the others stunned.

"Mr. Lloyd, you too?" one of the Stevens family members asked, visibly shocked.

Andrew smiled modestly. "Just tagging along to see what it's all about."

Oscar took the chance to mock, "Well said! Honestly, going to the summit really is just to broaden your horizons, especially for someone like you. Just make sure you don't embarrass yourself by being eliminated right away!"

Andrew's smile did not falter. "Being eliminated immediately? I don't think that'll happen."

Oscar sneered. "Oh, really? You think you can compete with heavyweights like Mosby and the Advanced Medical Institute?"

Aspen frowned. "Oscar, it seems you really don't know much about Mr. Lloyd's medical skills. He's representing Blumedale Hospital this time! Both its hospital directors and even Governor McCormick are backing him!"

Once again, the Stevens family members were left speechless, staring at Andrew like they had just seen a ghost. They all wondered if there was anything this guy couldn't do.

After all, he was rich and skilled in medicine. Even Derek, a powerhouse figure, was supporting him. It was beyond impressive.

Oscar's face burned with embarrassment. Instead of humiliating Andrew, he boosted his reputation even more, earning him newfound respect from the Stevens family.noveldrama

He silently grumbled, 'Damn it! Andrew, you won't get to stay smug for long! Once Elon arrives, your true colors will be exposed!'

The longer Oscar waited, the more restless he became. Finally, Elon arrived Before even stepping inside, they could already hear the man's boastful voice from outside the room.

"I'm Elon Golding, the epitome of money, glory, and power!"
