---- Chapter 1126 Chantelle was behind the wheel while Andrew rode along in the passenger seat as they headed out to treat Derek's old friend, George Keller.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense, with Chantelle's resting expression as frosty and detached as ever, her face practically carved from ice.

Andrew was not the kind of guy to throw warmth at a wall of cold, so he simply stayed quiet, staring out the window at the passing streets.

After holding back for a while, Chantelle finally could not resist and let out a mocking laugh.

"Mr.

Lloyd, what a clever movecreate your own mess, then try to get Mr.

McCormick to step in and clean it up for you.

Don't you think you're playing with fire?" Andrew smiled.

"Playing with fire? Nah, I don't see it that way.

At this point, I'm pretty much one of Mr.

McCormick's trusted men.

McCormick's time? "It's a line long enough to stretch all the way to Jayrodale.

And in that line, there are plenty who are smarter, more capable, and ---- many times more respectable than you." She paused, then turned slightly to glance at him with narrowed eyes before continuing.

"The only reason Mr.

McCormick picked you was because of his respect for Mr.

Thatcher from Jayrodale.
