NovelEnglish---- Chapter 2436 Elaine remained cold as she replied," Yes, what you said is a fact. Though I'm reluctant, | have
to admit that right now, our family isn't qualified to be mentioned in the sbreath as the Lloyd royals.
However, you're even aware of the Umbral Peak Sect behind our family." She continued, "Andrew, it seems
you've gone through quite a lot over the years. The charming young man you once were has turned into
someone far more complicated and impossible to read.
"Honestly, | still prefer how you looked back then, riding your horse by the bridge, with the whole city's beauties
waving their handkerchiefs at you. Grown men sometimes aren't as likable. Just like women, after growing up,
they beccalculating, petty, and greedy for fame. It's never a good look." Andrew said calmly, "Thanks for
the reminder. But what I've becwasn't decided by me. Everything is life's inevitability. Ms. Theron, you've
spent your years behind the walls of power, commanding the world from your seat, surrounded by loyal guards,
living without worry.
"You speak, and lives are changed. But you may not realize that that's not what life is really like. Hardship is
actually the main tone of life." ---- This time, Elaine did not get angry. She was unfazed, sighing as she replied
lazily, "I just feel that the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince from back then was more charming, more adored by all of
Chetvine. "Thinking back, every household in this city talked about the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince. You were
the golden boy that everyone envied. You're right. Boys eventually grow into men, forged into men of iron and
resolve.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy earlier words were my bias." She added, "Right now, you, having experienced so much, are truly different.
Even if | still love how you looked back then, we can't go back. Now, let's return to the main topic. Patriarch
Donovan doesn't need to kneel at our family altar, but if you wish to form a marriage alliance with our family, he
must bring substantial gifts and cin person. You know how much the Reyes family values prestige and
spectacle." She said, "In Chetvine, your family is the most hated. Because none of you bow to anyone, not in
name, nor in pride.
Over time, people have cto hate you, but they also envy you, and deep down, they want to replace you. So,
| hope you understand where I'm coming from. Can you make that happen?" Andrew smiled faintly. "That's still
not possible. Patriarch Donovan is old now, and as the younger generation, it's our duty to take care of things for
him. He won't personally attend to a ---- marriage proposal. Also, Ms. Theron, letclarify something: it's not
anger.
" You've rejected every single one of my conditions! Are you treating this marriage like a joke? Don't forget that
it's you who chere seeking this alliance, notbegging you for one. "And besides, if it's not you marrying
into my family, then who is this so-called junior of yours? Do you think the women of the Reyes family are so
cheap that anyone can just claim them?" Andrew's voice remained steady. "Ms. Theron, we're discussing serious
business here. Let's leave emotions and pride out of it and be rational. Your conditions are neither fair nor equal.
"The Reyes family's influence doesn't warrant Patriarch Donovan's personal involvement. You want prestige and
publicity, but we won't lower our standing for it. Besides, my junior isn't just anyone. He's Amari Goodman from
Sovereign's Apothecary, an eighth-grade divine alchemist. | chere simply to propose a match on his behalf."
Elaine's tone shifted, caught between surprise and curiosity. "Mr. Goodman from Sovereign's Apothecary? | know
him. The beauty elixirs | use are all from him, and I don't trust anyone else's work but his.
