Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1805

Back then, the Wright family was also one of the Five Apex Families. Yet, their situation was totally different now. Kevin had died a violent death, while Yara had taken over and was now desperately trying to please Andrew.

Since the Peck family was arrogant and looked down on him, why should Andrew try to win their favor?

After he left, Miles and Liliana walked into the living room together.

"Dad, it's the middle of the day, and you're drunk again?" Liliana pinched her nose in disgust.

Calvin tilted his head back and took another swig of alcohol, slurring, "D-Don't tell me what to do! I'm your father and the head of the Peck family! Who the hell dares to lecture me? You're digging your own grave!"

Miles's eyes shifted and landed on the porcelain bottle Andrew had left behind. He picked it up and held it out in front of Calvin. "Dad, Mr. Lloyd left this here. It looks like he's actively trying to make peace with our Peck family. You should take it. Maybe it's a good opportunity to bury the hatchet and move forward."

Calvin scoffed and smacked the bottle out of Miles's hand. "To hell with that! He's just another wolf in sheep's clothing. Does he think I'm stupid enough to fall for it? Remember this—Andrew's up to no good. From now on, we need to watch him closely. When the time comes, I swear I'll make sure that little bastard dies a painful death!"

Both Liliana and Miles were stunned.

Calvin's hatred toward Andrew ran deeper than they had imagined.

Suddenly, he grunted and narrowed his eyes at something on the floor. The siblings looked down and saw two small black pills near the shattered porcelain shards.

Miles gasped. "Wait, are those…"

He rushed over, picked up the pills, and handed them to Calvin.

Calvin took them and sniffed deeply. In an instant, the drunken fog in his eyes began to clear. His expression shifted in shock as he exclaimed, "These are seventh-grade Divine Pills—Spirit-Anchor Pills, no less. Even the Advanced Medical Institute can't produce these nowadays, because the formula's too complex.
