Chapter 139

Blood gushed from Conan's nose and mouth as Andrew's blows spun his head. A powerful kick sent Conan sprawling face-first onto the floor. Stepping onto Conan's chest, Andrew glared. "Since you're not interested in civil conversation, let's try a different approach. How about that apology and compensation?"

Terror filled Conan's eyes; the beating had shattered his arrogance. "Please, stop! I'll apologize and pay—whatever you say!" he whimpered, close to tears. Few had ever humbled him so completely.

As Andrew lifted his foot, Conan scrambled to Irene and Leroy. He slapped himself repeatedly, his bloody face contorted with remorse as he pulled stacks of cash from his briefcase. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me. Here's money for your medical expenses!"

The Stevens family stood stunned. The man who had been bullying them was begging for forgiveness, all thanks to Andrew—the person they had always looked up to.

"Sir, I've paid and apologized. Can I leave now?" Conan pleaded, rising, desperate to escape Andrew's presence.

Andrew pulled up a chair and sat. "What's the rush? We haven't discussed our business."

Conan trembled. "What more do you want? I have an elderly mother and a family to support! Please have mercy!"

"Relax, I won't hurt you," Andrew said. "I just want to discuss the partnership with Thrive Enterprise."

He turned to Christina, who fumbled awkwardly. She stammered, "W-What is it?"

Andrew frowned. "Ms. Stevens, Mr. Huxley is waiting to discuss the partnership. What are you waiting for?"

Christina quickly produced the contract, annoyed by Andrew's look, which suggested she was inept.

"It's our honor to work with you," Conan said. He signed the contract immediately, without reading it, granting full compliance.

"Can I leave now, sir?" Conan asked hopefully.

Andrew stepped aside. "Have a safe trip, Mr. Huxley."

With that, the Thrive Enterprise group fled.

After they left, Irene snapped, "Andrew, you beat him up badly. Do you think he'll let this slide?"

Leroy sneered, "Do you think you're tough for beating up Thrive Enterprise's CEO? Just wait until they come back for revenge."

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "After I just defended and helped you, you're turning on me?"
