Without exception , all the drama centered around someone named Andrew .
Michael turned to Harvey with a consoling tone , saying , Harvey , cheer up .
After all , the crown still ended up in your hands .
He added , Sure , Andrew may be insufferable , but in the end , he backed down and didnt dare compete with you .
Harveys forced smile looked more painful than genuine .
He did not think Andrew backed down .
Instead , that bastard had pushed him to the absolute limit with his underhanded tactics .
Of course , Harvey did not say his thoughts aloud .
Despite the burning rage in his heart , he maintained a gracious facade as he accepted Michaels attempts at consolation .

Fine by me ! Ill be staying in Jayrodale for the foreseeable future .
That punk wont get away unscathed .
In the auction houses private reception room , Andrew received the Celestial Nymphaea , carefully packaged in an elegant box .
Here you are , Mr.
Lloyd , Elsie said with a radiant smile , her eyes conveying unspoken interest .
As Andrew prepared to leave with his prize , a hint of disappointment crossed Elsies stunning face .
She pouted , Mr.
Lloyd , according to our auction house tradition , such generous bidders are entitled to a private meeting with me .
Andrew was puzzled .
A private meeting ? What is it for ? Elsie bit her lip shyly and lowered her gaze , mumbling , To put it simply , its like a private date .
Andrew finally understood and chuckled .
That wont be necessary .
Goodbye ! he said , turning to leave .
Elsie stood there stunned , unable to believe that Andrew had not even considered her offer .
She had practically thrown herself at him , yet he showed zero interest .
Elsie stomped her foot in frustration , wondering , What kind of man doesnt get the hint ? Elsie , Silas said , stepping out with a faint smile .
Sometimes , its just not meant to be .
Dont take it to heart .
Elsie was the face of the auction house , the belle of Radiant Group .
She had never faced such 1/2 rising from the ashes Chapter 217 treatment before .
She glared at Silas and huffed .
Mr.
Vaughn , you saw it too ! I couldnt have made it any more obvious , and he still didnt care .
Does Lauren have something I dont ? Silas shook his head .
Its not about being less attractive than Lauren or your beauty falling short .
Then what is it ? Elsie demanded impatiently .
Silas paused , his tone turning serious .
Because you and Mr.
Lloyd are not from the same world .
He continued , Your charm and talent might work on people like Harvey or Michael , but for someone like him ? Theyre just not enough .
Not even close .
Elsie bristled .
Mr.
Vaughn , youre exaggerating ! What is he , some kind of Braundville elite or something ? Silas gave her a meaningful look .
Ha ! Elites from Braundville would only be fit to shine his shoes .
Elsie froze , her jaw dropping slightly as the weight of his words sank in .
Braundvilles elites would be lucky to shine his shoes ? Since when did Jayrodale have such a formidable figure ?
