PopularNovelChapter 407 Lauren cried hard, but her resolve remained unshaken.
She declared firmly, No.
If I choose to comply now, thats when III truly regret it.
Ive told the family countless times Andrew isnt ordinary.
Hes a hidden gem, and he deserves not just me, but any exceptional woman! The momentary softness in Tianas eyes vanished instantly.
So youre still blindly obsessed with him? he asked coldly.
Lauren trembled as she felt the invisible barrier between mother and daughter, which had briefly narrowed, suddenly grew wider than ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe slowly wiped away her tears and said expressionlessly, Call it a blind obsession or say Im degrading myself either way, it has to be Andrew.
Tiana sneered.
Fine.
Youve always made this boy sound extraordinary.
Lets see how exceptional he really is.
Do you think hes better than Joe? Lauren scoffed.
Joe has his familys backing, of course, people look up to him.
But when it comes to true excellence, he doesnt even deserve to be compared to my Dr.
Lloyd ! Words are cheap we need facts, Tiana replied coldly.
Starting today, your house arrest is lifted.
You can return to work at Rhodes Corporation, but I need you to do one thing prove towhat makes this Andrew so special .
Tiana continued, If he turns out to be ordinary and worthless, Ill never approve of your relationship, even on my deathbed.
Your father will inform the Driscoll family about this, and you know Joes temperament.
If he learns about Andrews existence, the consequences will be severe.
Laurens face paled slightly as she protested, You cant let the Driscoll family go after Andrew ! Hes on his own without any backing, while Joe has the entire Driscoll fam supporting him its not fair! Fair ? Tiana laughed coldly Theres no such thing as fairness in this world.
Only the strong survive, and the weak perish .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy would elite families talk about fairness with someone they could crush like an ant? Why would they waste their time? Lauren felt angry but knew she could not convince her mother.
She gritted her teeth and said, Fine, III bring Dr.
Lloyd to prove it to you.
But letbe clear if his performance is impeccable, will you, Dad, and the Rhodes family approve of our m relationship? If this Andrew truly is 2/approve the hidden gem you claim he is, then perhaps the Rhodes family might end up looking up to him instead, Tiana replied dismissively.
Lauren stated confidently, You might be right one day, Andrew might have the entire Rhodes family looking up to him. With that, she turned and left, eager to see Andrew after several days apart.
Tiana stood at the second floor window of the mansion watching her daughters/retreating figure with a calculating look in her eyes . Foolish girl, youre too naive, she muttered.
No matter how hard Andrew tries or how lucky he gets, he can never match someone like Joe, who comes from old money.
Its an insurmountable gap the advantage of centuries of family legacy.
A common man will always be common, never comparable to true nobility.
