hapter 2120
In Rowan’s memory, Andrew had only been a handsome young doctor. Years ago, Marvin Yates, the wealthiest man in Jayrodale, had brought him along to treat her. Back then, she was the high and mighty heiress of the Onyx Serpents, destined to one day command storms and lead the organization to glory.
However, times had changed. The Onyx Serpents had fallen and fled Goldridge. That young doctor, the one who once examined her from head to toe and lingered in her thoughts for years, had now become one of the Three Titans of all Gabo Creek.
To Rowan, everything felt unreal.
“Sorry, I lost my composure,” she murmured, noticing Rachel’s strange look.
Blushing, she steadied herself and added shyly, “He told me to come to Blumedale to find him. He said if I came here, someone would take care of the arrangements.
Rachel smiled. “That’s simple. If Mr. Lloyd said it, then whatever needs arranging is no problem. I’ll take you to meet Mr. Keller Senior.”
Rowan was stunned. “You won’t even check if what I’m saying is true? Aren’t you worried I might be using his name just to freeload?”
Rachel chuckled. “With the power of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Lloyd’s wealth, do you think we’d care about a freeloader? Besides, in this city, I doubt anyone would dare use his name falsely. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around yourself.”
At that moment, Rowan no longer doubted. The man she thought was just an ordinary doctor had truly risen to become a giant of power. And here she was, once a proud young lady, now needing his name just
to stand firm.
Rachel notified George, who soon came in person. When he learned who Rowan was, surprise flashed in his eyes before quickly vanishing. He immediately understood that, being the seasoned veteran he was, Andrew was building his own power base. So, he immediately switched to a warm attitude, saying Blumedale would open its doors to the Onyx Serpents.
Actually, George had completely misunderstood Andrew’s intentions. He had asked Rowan to come to Gabo Creek province simply because he wanted to help her out, and he had not thought about anything
else at all.
Bringing George and Rachel’s group with her, Rowan returned to the roadside. “Grandma, you can all get out of the car now. From now on, Onyx Serpents will establish ourselves and develop in Blumedale!”
Agatha got out of the car with guarded eyes. “Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Who are these people? You didn’t just easily trust them, did you?”
Rowan’s face was radiant with smiles as she was about to explain.
The building was the headquarters of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce, standing majestically in the city center of Blumedale, looking extraordinarily magnificent.
As soon as she entered the building, someone came forward to assist her. “Miss, are you here for business, or is there something else I can help you with?”
Rowan hesitated for a moment. Then, she said cautiously, “I’m looking for someone named Andrew Lloyd.

The receptionist froze. “Who?”
Rowan’s face reddened, thinking that no one had even heard of Andrew’s name. Being naturally shy, she bit her red lips and mumbled softly, “Never mind, it’s nothing. Sorry for bothering you.”
She turned to leave, her heart filled with disappointment.
“Miss, wait a moment!” A voice suddenly called out, stopping Rowan.
Rachel walked over at that moment. She asked, “You said you’re looking for Andrew Lloyd?”
Rowan said with delight, “Yes, I’m looking for him. He told me to come here and mention his name. Do you know him?”
Rachel gave Rowan a long look, her eyes flashing with both surprise and envy. She smiled thinly. “Know
him? Of course I do. He’s the owner of this building. He’s also the chairman of our Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce, and recently he rose as one of the Three Titans of Gabo Creek.”
This string of titles left Rowan completely stunned in place. After a long moment, she finally managed to
ask, “You’re saying this entire building belongs to him?”
Rachel nodded.
Rowan asked again, “And you’re saying he’s the chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce, the one rivaling the Somaeth Chamber?”
Rachel only smiled without answering.
Rowan’s chest tightened as shock churned through her. Her voice trembled as she asked again, “One last
question. The Three Titans of Gabo Creek have always been the Driscoll family, the Phelan family, and
the Fischer family. When did Andrew become one of the Three Titans?”
Rachel said proudly, “Just recently! The Driscoll family has been eliminated by Mr. Lloyd. So, he rightfully took their place and became the newly risen member of the Three Titans!”
Rowan felt her head buzzing with confusion.
The person in her memory was just a somewhat handsome young doctor.
