Chapter 74
44 Chapter 74 Chapter 74 +25 BONUS Dexter sneered at Andrew .
Youve got some nerve .
Just because you won a few races and caught Mr.
Thatchers attention , you think stories about his health to get him to depend on you ? you can make , Harvey added with a smirk , Thats pretty low , Andrew .
Trying to climb the social ladder by tricking Mr.
Thatcher is honestly quite naive .
Id explain it to you , but honestly , with you , the lights are on , but nobodys home , Andrew replied calmly .
Is he insulting us with some fancy words ? Dexter asked Harvey in confusion .
Whats that supposed to mean ? Harvey scoffed .
Just meaningless rambling .
Lets go ! As Dexter passed Andrew , he strutted arrogantly and said , Hey , freeloader , I do have my lights on , thank you very much ! My electricity bill is proof ! 1 Dexter , lets go ! Harvey called out , red faced with embarrassment .
Having such an uncultured sidekick was truly embarrassing .
Lauren stifled a laugh .
Dr.
Lloyd, you should know that while Dexters family is wealthy , theyre not exactly refined .
Fheard he dropped out after second grade ! Francesca turned to Andrew with a stern expression .
Now that were alone , tell me what makes you think Mr.
Thatcher has a serious illness ? The symptoms were obvious .
Didnt you notice ? Andrew glanced at her .
Francesca sneered .
Well , excuse me for not having your supposedly brilliant insight .
Bernard is his personal physician , and my grandpa often visits Mr.
Thatcher .
Are you suggesting theyre both blind to his condition ? I met your grandfather at the Stevens family gathering once, Andrew replied .
Hes not blind , but … But what ? But hes past his prime , easily ruffled, and overly prideful .
Lets just say his skills a rather basic for someone of his experience and renown Francescas face flushed with anger .
She could not believe that Andrew actually dismissed her grandfather , a respected medical authority , as merely basic .
How dare you look down on our familys medical legacy ! Francesca fumed .
My grandpas reputation as a miracle doctor is well established in Jayrodale ! Jayrodale is just a small pond .
Being called a miracle doctor here is like being called a king in medieval times when ruling over a few villages .
Does that really mean anything in the grand 1/2 Chapter 74 scheme of things ? Andrew retorted .
Francesca was left speechless by Andrews sharp response , but her anger continued to stew .
She could not tolerate this man she had always looked down on speaking to her so condescendingly .
Fran , Dr.
Lloyd , please stop arguing , Lauren quickly intervened .
Dr.
Aicker is indeed famous in Jayrodale , but Fran , Dr.
Lloyd is also very skilled .
Remember , you still need his help with your condition ! For Laurens sake , Ill let this go , Francesca replied icily .
