Tiana clenched her teeth and said, “You’re wrong. This is all because Kenny has been pressuring Jameson in Blumedale. On top of that, the Golding family has been scheining, using Kenny as a pawn to take over the Rhodes family.”

She explained, “So I have no choice but to protect Michael! If I don’t, Jameson will be isolated in Blumedale, and I won’t be there to support him. If Kenny decides to make a bold move against the head of the family, then Lauren may never see the father who loves her most again!

“And Lauren’s success has far outshined Michael, directly threatening Kenny’s family’s interests. Under Kenny’s manipulation, Joe learned about Lauren and fell for her at first sight. Now, the whole marriage arrangement with the Driscoll family.

“People think I’m just trying to curry favor with them as if im the one pushing for this marriage. But the truth is, the Driscoll family is powerful, wealthy, and filled with dangerous men. They didn’t ask for Lauren’s hand- they’re forcing it!”

After spilling everything, Tiana looked utterly exhausted. It was not just physical fatigue but the kind of exhaustion that came from powerlessness–having no choice but to endure humiliation and frustration.

Andrew stayed silent for a moment before chuckling. “Mrs. Rhodes, the Rhodes family may seem stuck in Blumedale’s mess right now, but there is a way out. And honestly? It’s pretty simple.”

Tiana scoffed. “You say that like it’s easy. Alright then, tell me how exactly do we fix this?”

Andrew shrugged. “Since we’re talking simple, why not go with the simplest solution? Just get rid of Kenny.”

Tiana stared at him, stunned for a long moment. Then, she suddenly let out a mocking laugh.

“That’s your brilliant idea? What a reckless and naive solution. Do you think it’s that easy to just take Kenny out? Even if we ignore the chaos it would cause within the Rhodes family, there’s still the Golding family–we won’t be able to handle the moment they retaliate.”

Andrew remained calm. “If Kenny’s gone, no matter how much internal chaos there is, the head of the family would still have control in the end. As for the Golding family? They’re not as untouchable as you think. If they refuse to back down and insist on making this a war, then they can be dealt with too.”

Tiana’s face darkened in anger. “Andrew, you’re getting more outrageous by the second–do you even hear yourself?
