NovelEnglish---- Chapter 2435 "Originally, | didn't want to meet anyone from the Lloyd royal bloodline," Elaine said, her voice
suddenly turning cold. "I hate every single one of them. No, hate isn't even strong enough. They disgust me.
They makesick to my stomach." She continued, "But you're different. First, because you're Reginald's son.
And second, because | once saw you in person, and I still remember the impression you left. There are very few
young men in this world like you "The moment | saw you back then, | imagined that if | ever had a child, I'd want
him to be like you. But fate is cruel.
I'll never have children of my own in this lifetime. And for reasons | can't quite explain, that tiny, strange feeling
madebreak my own rule and grant you this meeting. So now, tellwhat you cfor. My patience is
limited. You have three minutes." Andrew gave a small nod. Now this was how a true leader of a great family
should carry herself. Cold, impatient, authoritative, and overwhelmingly composed. Whatever strange behavior
she had shown earlier was just a brief lapse. Nonetheless, everyone had a past, and Andrew did not care to pry
into it.
---- After thinking it through for a moment, he finally said, "I'm here to propose an alliance through marriage with
the Reyes family." There was silence behind the curtain, then ca laugh, clear and light, like the ringing of a
bell still laughing, she asked, "That's interesting. What did you just say? You want to form an alliance through
marriage with the Reyes family? | have to admit, | didn't see that coming at all. | thought you cto ask for
help, or perhaps to build a connection, or even to uncover certain secrets. But | never imagined you'd be here to
ask for a marriage alliance.
"So tell me, which woman from my family caught your eye? Whichever one you want, | can make it happen. But

family altar for an hour. Andrew did not even hesitate before shaking his head. "No matter what | cfor, that
condition is impossible." The curtain fell silent again, the air growing tense. However, Andrew did not seem to
notice her displeasure or the pressure she radiated. He calmly continued, "The Lloyd royal house and | are no
longer on the spath.
So it's not possible for Patriarch Donovan to chere. ---- "Still, letbe honest. The Reyes family is powerful
and respected throughout the world, But the Lloyd royals? They move the pieces that shape that very world. So
tell me, have you ever seen a player bow to one of his own chess pieces? Especially one that doesn't know its
place?" Elaine scoffed but did not show anger. "You have quite the mouth on you," she said. "I'll admit, the Lloyds
do have a hand in the game. But who told you or gave you the confidence to think my family is just a slightly
bigger chess piece?
"Letbe frank. The world is vast. The Lloyd royals aren't the only powerhouse anymore. There are plenty of
fierce ones rising, and who wins in the end is far from certain." Andrew shook his head slightly. "To me, the Reyes
family is indeed like a mountain, tall and commanding. | wouldn't dare to say | can challenge you. But I've
already made it clear: I'm not acting on behalf of the Lloyd royals. "Still, your tone gives away a lot. You have
ambition, and you have an appetite to match.
But the truth is, no matter how mighty the Reyes family stands, in the eyes of the Lloyd royals, you're still not an
equal opponent." He continued. "If you're so confident, you might as well bring out the Umbral Peak Sect that
stands behind you. Only then would you be qualified to sit at the stable with the Lloyd royals. ---- "As for
demanding Patriarch Donovan to kneel before you? Be realistic. You can't make that happen. Neither can Mr.
Reyes Senior, and neither can the leader of the Umbral Peak Sect himself. That fact doesn't need to be debated.
Everyone already knows it...
It's practically common sense, he
