Chapter 2275

Isabelle said, “Andrew is nothing like you said, Mikayla. He hasn’t turned mediocre or ordinary at all. Honestly, he seems fearless, like he’s ready to take on the whole world!”

“Belle, that’s enough! From now on, I don’t want to hear Andrew’s name constantly coming out of your mouth. You understand? Thinking this way about him is wrong.”

Isabelle just mumbled, “Oh,” and stared off in one direction, lost in thought.

Was she really the one being foolish? Maybe she was the only sober one while everyone else was drunk on their delusions.

She thought poor Mikayla could not keep her composure the moment Andrew returned, acting like a cat on a hot tin roof. Little did she know that the more stable someone’s core was, the less they would be swayed by external factors.

It was such a simple truth, yet Mikayla did not understand it. It was such a shame.

Meanwhile, Andrew went straight to find Amari.

“Let’s go see Madam Baxter!” Amari was enthusiastic and walked ahead with a smile.

Soon, the two arrived at Brielle’s pavilion. “Regarding those three items you want, I now have a lead on one of them. Even though I promised to find them for you, I need to be clear about something upfront. If you leave it all to me, who knows how many years it’ll take to get them.”

Andrew sighed helplessly. “Madam, you really can’t spare even a drop of blood? With your status, would it hurt that much to bleed a little more?”

Brielle’s face turned red as she retorted sharply. “You brat, stop trying to take advantage of me with your words! I’ve got plenty of blood. Do you want my period blood? If you do, I’ll save it for you every month!”

Andrew instantly threw his hands up in surrender. “Madam, you’ve got me wrong! Why on earth would I want that? I’m serious here… What exactly do you mean?”

Brielle huffed. “Fine, I’ll spell it out. The one with a lead this time is the Blackstar Crystal. Sovereign’s Apothecary is good at making medicine, but we’re not assassins or thieves. Right now, the Blackstar Crystal is in the hands of the heir to Sorya’s Tristars Group. As it happens, the playboy prince who’s famous worldwide for his affairs is right here in Chetvine.

“From what I can see, he’s here for some major negotiation project with several of Chetvine’s top families, scheduled for a week. So you might have a chance to make your move. Of course, my people won’t be idle either.

“We’ll also look for opportunities to strike and see if we can get our hands on the Blackstar Crystal. If we can’t, then who knows when it’ll surface again.”

Andrew immediately replied, “No problem, I’ll handle it. What’s Tristars Group’s heir called again?”

Brielle smiled slightly. “Ezekiel Beckett, the most notorious playboy of Sorya’s Beckett family. I heard that he is interested in dating some heiress from one of Chetvine’s major families. This has probably made countless people jealous.”

Andrew nodded. “Tristars Group from Sorya is indeed a world–class powerhouse. I have to acknowledge their prowess. But I’ve run into Ezekiel several times abroad before, and he’s no good. This is perfect. I won’t feel guilty taking him down.”

Brielle laughed softly. “What’s there to hesitate about when it comes to a Soryan like him? You think sparing him will make him grateful? Their country’s been provoking us nonstop anyway. With clashing interests and different allegiances, teaching him a lesson doesn’t need any justification at all.”
