Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1458

Quinton was absolutely fuming. Christina's family, whom he used to completely look down on, had the nerve to fight back, even going so far as to lay hands on him.

Moreover, that crappy fast-food joint they worked at actually dared to disrespect him.

The fact that he had fallen so low made Quinton seriously consider making an example out of someone—maybe even killing—to re-establish his dominance.

Rachel was considered a prized catch in Blumedale's elite social circles. However, because of her sensitive status as a widow, no one ever dared touch her—only salivated from a distance.

She was also a member of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce and had George as her backer. That alone had kept her safe all these years.

However, Quinton had overheard something that instantly lifted his mood—the Chamber of Commerce had just appointed a new chairman.

George was someone even Quinton would not dare cross, not even in his wildest dreams. But this new guy? Please. He had to be easy prey.

Quinton smirked coldly, already plotting.

As soon as the new chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce arrived, Quinton planned to march straight up and slap him a few times without saying a word. Once he left the guy bloodied and dazed, he would reveal his identity and really teach him who he was dealing with.

And that was only the beginning.

After that, he was going to take Christina away. As for Rachel—that curvy, single widow—he had already made up his mind.

He was already seething with pent-up rage, and if the opportunity came, he was going to break her down until she became his personal plaything.

Lewis, trying to be polite, smiled and asked, "Madam, may I ask how old our new chairman is? What kind of bigshot are we dealing with?"

"Madam Gardner, is your chairman here yet? I'm getting really tired of waiting. Or maybe he found out I'm here and got so scared he pissed himself and ran off?"

Quinton taunted, his voice cocky and full of mockery.

Rachel's face darkened, thinking that this bastard Quinton was really asking for death. She had seen Andrew's power with her own eyes. To him, someone like Quinton was nothing more than a slightly larger cockroach.

Just then, Lewis burst out excitedly, "Madam, look! Outside! That red Ferrari—do you think the guy who just stepped out is our new chairman?"

Rachel took one glance and immediately lit up with a glowing smile. Her hips swayed seductively as she strutted toward the door to greet him.

"Mr. Lloyd, you're finally here!"
