Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1488

After Chantelle left, Andrew immediately made a call and asked Logan to come over.

When it came to Derek, Andrew had revealed the existence of the treasure out of personal interest, hoping to leverage government power and gain the upper hand in the race ahead.

However, with the Keller family, Andrew had a different motive. George had handed him the chairmanship of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce without hesitation, a gesture that showed extraordinary favoritism.

Andrew believed in repaying loyalty, and combined with their recent interactions, the Kellers had earned his genuine recognition and acceptance.

Those who earned his acceptance often received benefits far beyond their expectations—colossal benefits.

Sure enough, when Logan rushed to Serenity Villa and heard about the treasure from the Fallen Crimson Dynasty, he was completely stunned and thrilled.

"Andy, the Kellers have to be part of this. This kind of opportunity could redefine our family's fortune for the next 50 years!"

Andrew raised both hands, signaling him to calm down. "This treasure hunt won't be smooth sailing. The Driscoll family alone might mobilize their full force to fight for it. So, if the Keller family wants in, you need to understand that both the rewards and the risks are massive.

"You could walk away empty-handed. Worse, you could suffer major losses. That's why, Logan, you need to go back and have a proper discussion with Mr. Keller Senior."

Logan nodded seriously. "Of course, we'll definitely talk it over. But knowing my father, I can already tell you, he'll be all in. As they say, fortune favors the bold. If our family wants to rise further, sometimes we've got to take sharp, unconventional turns."

Caught red-handed, Logan—thick-skinned as he was—still flushed with embarrassment as he laughed sheepishly. "Alright, fine. You got me. They're indeed three massive headaches. But still, I hope you understand where my father and I are coming from.

"Regular guys don't even make it past their first impression, but the last time you showed your skills? You made an impression—big time. You have no idea how obsessed they've gotten. They ask about you every single day."

Andrew looked utterly disinterested. "And what do you want me to do with that? Do you think I should respond to every woman who's even mildly interested in me? If that's the case, my body would've given up long ago!"

Logan gritted his teeth. "Alright, you've left me no choice—I'm playing my trump card. "Here's the deal: of the three, you've got to pick at least one. Help us out a little and lighten the load at home, please!"
