With a bright smile , she turned to Andrew and said , Dr.

Lloyd , did you know Lauren bought you a big chunk of land in West End during the planning phase ? Her eyes sparkled as she added , Congratulations ! Youre officially a millionaire now .

Andrew was surprised that Lauren had allocated so much to him .

Ms.

Rhodes should keep the money .

I dont deserve it , he said with a polite smile .

Dont be silly ! Francesca exclaimed .

The Aickers and Lauren got this amazing opportunity because of you .

Even Grandpa admires you , not to mention Lauren and me were your biggest fans now ! Andrew inwardly groaned .

He knew Francesca was deliberately stirring the pot to get under the Stevens familys skin and Harveys especially .

Sure enough , Irene fell for it .

She jumped up and shouted , So you knew all along it would be West End and not East Side ? Andrew shrugged nonchalantly .

And what if I did ? I told you all from the start that East Side wasnt worth it .

He simply smirked .

Youre blaming me because you screwed up ? Thats rich .
