Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1810

Emily's eyes were bloodshot as she raised her hand, but she did not dare make any move.

George was sitting in the shadows on the second floor nearby. His sharp eyes were locked onto her with no trace of warmth.

Even Hannah, who had been the center of the chaos, suddenly froze in place. She was stunned to see Emily fighting with Andrew.

Andrew turned to her sharply. "Drop the knife, then get over here. You're part of the Keller family, not some useless waste of space. A little setback and you're already talking about suicide? Hanging yourself? Hannah, do you even realize how stupid and pathetic you look right now?"

Tears streamed down her face as she shouted, "Andrew, who gave you the right to talk to me like that? I'm the victim here! If you're so amazing, why don't you find that bastard Hank and make him pay?"

Andrew let out a cold snort. "Why should I go after him? To be honest, you brought this on yourself. I warned you, didn't I? But did you listen? No."

Hannah's shame turned into rage, and she gripped the fruit knife tightly. "Andrew, are you trying to push me to my death? Is that what you want?"

Andrew gave a chilling laugh as he spread his arms out, holding back Freya and Logan. "No one's going to stop you now. If you want to die, go ahead and do it. Honestly, you're just an embarrassment to the Keller family anyway."

Hannah trembled with fury, her hand shaking so badly she could not bring herself to do it. She never imagined Andrew could be so heartless.

"If you're not ready to die, then drop the damn knife," Andrew snapped.

Then, without giving her another second, he strode forward and snatched it out of her hand.

Overwhelmed with shame and frustration, Hannah collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. "Logan, Dad! Andrew bullied me! He doesn't care if I live or die!"

Instead of rushing to her defense, Logan and Freya let out deep sighs of relief. They quickly gathered around her, ignoring her complaints entirely. Just like that, the storm was silenced, thanks to Andrew.
