Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Youre making too big a deal out of this .

Why bring me in for such a minor player ? Bane remarked .

Michael scoffed .

Bane , youre oversimplifying things .

To inherit Rhodes Corporation , I need to get rid of Lauren .

With your help , eliminating her would have made my path to leadership smooth sailing , but then Andrew showed up and ruined everything .

I cant even enjoy messing around with women anymore with this rage burning inside me .

Bane nodded .

Fair enough .

He has sparked my curiosity too .

The fact that he could neutralize my poison shows more skill than that old fool Cedric Id like to meet him myself .

Michael smiled coldly , confident in his plan .

With Lauren protecting him , I couldnt touch him directly .

But now that Tonys involved , that punk is as good as dead .

Later that evening , Christina was preparing to leave the South City project office after a long days work .

Christie , please buy me a Porsche .

Im begging you , Leroy pleaded , following behind her .

Christina shook her head .

Leroy , youre my brother , but youre also a man .

If you want a luxury car , earn it yourself .

Lve given you a great opportunity at Stevens Corporation .

If you work hard , a Porsche is nothing .

Leroy whined , But how long will it take me to save up hundreds of thousands ? Come on , Christie , buy it for me now so I can enjoy it .

Irene scoffed .

Him ? In leadership ? Ill never believe it .

Before Christina could respond , a group of men burst into the project office .

Their leader , at muscular man with an intimidating presence , fixed his cold gaze on the three of them .

Which one of you is Christina Stevens ? Christina stepped forward , unsuspecting .

I am .

What can I help you with ? Take her , he commanded .
