Chapter 169 Stop Disturbing Me

Ronald’s expression grew pensive as the banquet’s atmosphere turned tense with the buzz of online speculation

Opting for a measured approach, he reached out to Joseph via phone, asking, “How are things with Andy? Is he officially part of our team now?”

“I’ve been trying to get through to him for days with no luck, but I did manage to have a word with Andy’s dad. He’s given his word, and it looks like Andy’s set to join our Luster Corporation, Joseph relayed.

Ronald, concerned, pressed further, “So why can’t we get a hold of him?”

“According to his father, Andy’s likely lost in his work. He’s known to be a lone wolf, focused on his craft, and doesn’t like interruptions. It looks like we might have to wait a bit longer to finalize everything.”

Joseph shared, his tone reflecting a mix of frustration and resignation.

Despite their repeated efforts to reach Andy and his assistant recently, they hit a wall every time.

Yet, Vernon Farrow’s confirmation provided a glimmer of hope.

“And the Adams? Any word from them?” Ronald asked, seeking more information.

Joseph softly shared, “Nothing from the Adams so far, and no talk of a lawsuit against Vanessa, but Phillip is sharp and doesn’t like us doing well. It’s pretty likely he’ll try to do something about it.”

Having briefed Joseph, Ronald stepped back onto the stage and confidently addressed the gathering through the microphone.

“To tackle the main question, Andy hasn’t officially joined Luster Corporation yet. He’s keen to work with us, but the contract hasn’t been signed due to his packed schedule.

“However, I want to assure everyone that Mr. Andy Farrow’s commitment to partnering with Luster Corporation is solid, and that’s something I stand behind,” Ronald clarified, easing some of the concerns floating around.

Below the stage, Phillip could not help but wear a sly grin, announcing, “Ronald, it seems you’re set for a letdown this time around. Andy has already pledged his allegiance to the Adam Group and is on board to spearhead our new line next year, including high–end custom jewelry pieces.”

Phillip’s bombshell had the audience buzzing with surprise and speculation.

“What’s going on? Looks like the Adams mean business today.”
