Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1804

Therefore, Victoria was now the one truly running the Peck family. Any forces that wanted to move against the Peck family were wary of Victoria, not Calvin. It had never had anything to do with him in the first place.

Thinking about that, Andrew originally planned to leave right after seeing Victoria, like he had always done. But this time, he paused. He reached into his coat and touched the two bottles of pills he had brought with him, then took the initiative to ask if he could meet Calvin.

Liliana sneered. "What game are you trying to play now? My dad is the head of the Peck family. You think you can just see him whenever you want?"

Miles, on the other hand, was much more courteous. "Liliana, that's enough. Mr. Lloyd, may I ask what business you have with my father?"

Andrew smiled casually. "Nothing too special. I just heard that the Peck family is also sending people to Goldridge this time. So I thought I'd touch base with Mr. Peck Senior, maybe we could travel together."

Miles nodded thoughtfully. "My father is indeed planning to bring people to Goldridge to observe Mr. Thornton's inner disciple selection. Please wait a moment while I go ask if he has time to see you."

Victoria appeared out of nowhere, having walked out of her room to join them outside. "What's all this asking permission nonsense? Just take Andrew to see him directly."

Her expression was calm and neutral, showing neither pleasure nor anger. "Is your father some kind of emperor that requires his approval for every little meeting?"

Her words made Miles's heart skip a beat with nervousness. He quickly smiled at Andrew. "Well, since my mother has spoken, Mr. Lloyd, please come with me."

Andrew thanked him politely, then turned to give Victoria a grateful smile. He walked a few minutes down another path and finally saw Calvin, the so-called head of the Peck family.

The man was sitting alone in the main hall, his face flushed and bloated, his eyes glazed over.
