Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1467

At that moment, Andrew and Dylan had indeed arrived at the Wright estate.

Dylan chuckled and said, "You know, my mom's side is also Wright. So why is there such a huge gap between me and their Wrights?"

Andrew joked, "Maybe you Wrights and Quinton's Wrights were the same family 500 years ago! Why don't you try claiming some family connection?"

Dylan pulled a face. "Mr. Lloyd, even if we were family five centuries ago, that's not gonna help me now."

Andrew laughed. "Then stop daydreaming and enjoy your regular life. When you've seen more of the world, you'll realize that the Five Apex Families aren't as untouchable as they seem.

"Holtrien has tons of wealthy families. The truly top-tier elite clans and noble houses—those are the ones really worth looking up to!"

Dylan nodded seriously. "I believe it. As long as I stick with you, Mr. Lloyd, I'll see it all someday."

Soon, the two were seated in the grand hall of the Wright estate.

Kevin sat across from them, his face dark and stormy. "Andy, what disaster are you bringing to the Wrights this time?"

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Wow, you really are psychic. Because yeah, I am here to deliver bad news—really, really bad news."

Kevin's eyelid twitched, and he looked like he was one second away from swearing out loud. Ever since becoming sworn brothers with Andrew, the Wrights had been plagued by one disaster after another.

Grand Viper's two assassins had killed Wright family members, and then Grand Viper himself had attacked the Wright estate gates, nearly injuring Kevin.

The family had already been through a stormy season lately.

Was something even worse on the horizon?

Sure, the Wrights still had deep reserves—cards they had not revealed yet. However, even the strongest walls could not stand forever against wave after wave of bad news.

As everyone stared at him in tense silence, Andrew cleared his throat and delivered his words with deep grief. "Kevin! My godson, Quinton—your very own flesh and blood! That bastard has done something unforgivable! He's a disgrace to the heavens, guilty of the worst treachery, a monster who deserves a thousand deaths, a walking curse, universally hated by man and god alike—"

Kevin ran out of patience and waved his hand frantically. "Enough, enough! Andy, you're still young, why the hell are you talking like some ancient windbag, rambling without getting to the point? Just tell me straight—what has my son Quinton done now?"

Andrew stopped and said seriously, "Quinton has betrayed the Wrights and is conspiring with Rafael, Mosby, and Grand Viper!"
