Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Andrew shrugged casually .

Those are your words , not mine .

This finally pushed Jerry over the edge as he angrily shouted , You fool ! Stop trying to sow discord ! Ive served the Rhodes family faithfully for over 20 years .

Do you think your petty .

words can discredit my loyalty ? In his fury , Jerry turned to Lauren and said respectfully , Ms Rhodes , this pretty boy is insulting me .

I demand justice .

Jerry , he just tends to be very direct with his words , Lauren stated diplomatically .

I know your loyalty to the Rhodes family , so on his behalf , I apologize .

Jerry let out a cold snort and stormed off with his men , but not before shooting Andrew a murderous glare : Andrew , however , maintained his smile , completely unfazed .

Once Jerry was gone , Laurens expression turned ice cold .

Do you think Jerry was telling the truth ? Id rather believe pigs could fly than trust him , Andrew replied without hesitation .

Lauren burst into laughter , You can be quite funny sometimes .

Andrew smiled and continued , At this point , we can almost be certain that Jerry is working with the thieves .

At the very least , hes not completely loyal to the Rhodes family or you , Ms.

Rhodes .

First Tracia , and now Jerry , Lauren said coldly .

I dont understand why theyre doing this .

The Rhodes family has treated them well all these years .

Modern martial artists often prioritize profit over loyalty , Andrew explained calmly .

Michael and his fellows may be cunning , but Ive never considered them a real threat .

Laurens face lit up with a radiant smile , So , are you offering to be my knight in shining armor ? Andrew froze , caught off guard by her dazzling smile and alluring red lips .

He was fully aware she was trying to charm him , so he mentally scolded her for being a tease .

1/2 Meanwhile , deep in the forest , Andrews Porsche Panamera was almost completely burned , with only the chassis remaining .

Beside it lay Tracias stiff corpse .

Two figures emerged from the shadows Michael and the sinister looking Bane .

Tracias dead ? Who could have done this in this place full of nothing but farmers ? Michael exclaimed in disbelief .
