---- Chapter 2535 Amari looked troubled and admitted, "They just refused flat out. They said they won't work with us. But Andrew, if the Webster family won't play ball, it's fine; we don't need them that badly." Andrew waved a hand. "Tell me exactly what happened. The Webster family was part of my plan, and we had to win them over. Right now, we have the Reyes family, the Iron Sword Sect, and the Robertson family, so we already have a foothold. Those clients alone were enough for us to stand on." He added, "Still, that wasn't nearly enough.
If | left Chetvine or got tied up with other matters and couldn't run Medicine God's Covenant, you'd be handling it alone, and that would be rough." Amari's eyes widened. "You mean you'd leave Medicine God's Covenant to me?" Andrew grinned. "Your name's on the deed as the owner, so of course, it's yours." Amari looked touched, but then shook his head. "No way. | can't accept that. This is an enterprise the two of us built together, and | can't shoulder it alone. You need to be the head, while | can be the deputy master and handle all the dirty work." Andrew scoffed. "You with that beer belly?
Don't tell me you ---- can't handle it. Amari, take my advice and drink less. I've been trying to arrange a marriage for you, haven't |? But Valerie has been difficult "| was thinking maybe we should find you someone else. But from what I can tell, she probably won't dare act out anymore. So once | get some time, I'll knock on the Reyes family's door and have a word with Ms. Theron. They already accepted all those high-grade divine pills. When is she going to marry her daughter off to you?" Amari quickly interjected, "Andrew, | don't like Valerie.
Why don't you just take that woman for yourself instead? I'm being serious. Even though Valerie is young and beautiful, | really don't want her." Andrew frowned. "Now you tell me you don't like her? Amari, what are you playing at? | went to all this trouble, and you're going to waste my effort?" Amari laughed awkwardly, hesitating, and finally confessed, " Actually, | already like someone else. So there's no way | could ever be interested in Valerie." Andrew was shocked. "You have someone you like? Which family's old lady is she from? Is she 80 years old by now?

Don't tell me she's one of those grandmas brisk walking in the park?" Amari looked deeply wounded, clutching his chest. "Andrew, ---- that's going too far. The woman | like is indeed older. But if you're suggesting she's some random lady from the park, you're really underestimating me." Andrew laughed heartily. "I'm kidding! | was just messing with you. So tell me, who is it? Since you already have someone you like, you should've said so earlier.
| could've gone straight to her family to propose on your behalf." Amari sighed theatrically and stared up at the ceiling like a man dying to confess. He said, "To be honest, it's the same Webster family you just asked me to approach. The family is currently headed by its matriarch, who has two sons and one daughter. That daughter was my childhood sweetheart. She's the same age as me, so she's pretty old now, too." He continued, "For my sake, she never married and has stayed in the Webster residence her whole life.
| had given up on her because the Webster family always looked down on me and never gave me a chance. "But after you returned to Chetvine, | had hope again because you could be the face to help make the match. | snuck over to the Webster residence, but the matriarch said she wouldn't give her daughter away. She said it would be a disgrace for the Webster family, and if only I'd become an eighth-grade divine alchemist sooner, there might have been a chance." He sighed and added, "Too bad | didn't start studying under Mr. ---- Zeroual until late in life.
Now I'm late blooming and missed my shot." Andrew raised a hand. "Hold on. So you're saying she's still single, and she stayed that way for so long for you?" Amari's face fell. "Yes. We met sometimes and talked in secret, but it was always behind closed doors. When | went to the Webster residence to discuss cooperation, the two brothers verbally abused me and nearly beat me out of the house." Andrew said coldly, "If the Webster family dares to do that, I'll wipe them out. Come on, I've got nothing better to do anyway. Let's go to the Webster residence right now." Amari hesitated.
"Maybe we should just forget it. | heard Theon is also going to the Webster residence today. Sovereign's Apothecary has been negotiating with the Webster family for a while without closing the deal, and Theon has already lost to you twice. He's definitely going to pull out all the stops to seal the deal. If we go and just witness his success, we'll only be humiliating ourselves." Andrew sneered. "Who's humiliating whom? Amari, man up. Don't worry! With me here, if the Webster family dares lay a hand 'on you, I'll personally take responsibility.
You shouldn't waste the devotion that woman gave up her life for." Amari's eyes flickered twice before he gritted his teeth. "Alright. ---- I'l follow you into madness one more time. No matter what happens, | want to declare my feelings to Maddie." Andrew grinned, "Maddie? That's her name, right?" Amari blushed, "Her name is Madeline Webster. She's from the same generation as Patriarch Donovan." Andrew raised his thumb. "Amari, you're incredible. Loving someone for that long takes real guts. If I'd been you, I'd have had grandkids by now."
