Chapter 569 Good evening , everyone ! Welcome to the grand opening of Moonlit Apothecary , Lauren announced gracefully from the stage .

Laurens beauty was legendary in Jayrodale , and all eyes were instantly drawn to her radiant presence .

She smiled warmly and continued , Ill keep it brief thank you for coming , and I hope youll continue to support Moonlit Apothecary .

Francesca puffed her chest proudly .

Lauren soon joined them , holding the hem of her dress as she walked over and looped her arm through Andrews .

Frans right , she said playfully .

Even though youre not burting for money , Andrew , Fran and I will be your future financial advisors .

But the Aickers arent that rich .

Weve learned to be more frugal .

Lauren grinned mischievously and turned to Andrew .
