Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Among the items Andrew needed to regain his strength and break the seals were the Seventh- Heaven Quince from Mark and the Morlic Root from Cedric .

The Radiant Group is holding an auction soon , and this Celestial Nymphaca is one of the featured items , Marvin explained .

He continued , With my connections as the wealthiest man in Jayrodale , I could have purchased the Celestial Nymphaea directly , but apparently , someone else has already shown interest in it .

The Radiant Group is in a difficult position and doesnt dare to sell it privately , which is why I came to you .

Andrew nodded thoughtfully .

Got it .

Give me the time and location of the auction , and Ill handle it personally .

Marvin replied , Its the day after tomorrow at 8 pm sharp in Radiant Groups underground hall .

In Jayrodale , Radiant Group was a heavyweight in the jewelry , antiques , and luxury goods industry .

For them to offer something as rare as the Celestial Nymphaea did not surprise Andrew .

After all , he had also purchased the King of Diamonds from them .

The next day , Lauren invitedAndrew to accompany her to the Radiant Groups auction .

Events like auctions were a playground for the wealthy , entirely out of reach for the average person .

Moreover , they often featured unexpected treasures that could not be found elsewhere .

Before the auction , Andrew made time to visit the South City Orphanage project .

Christina was truly a workaholic , and under her constant supervision , the project was already 80 % complete .

When Andrews car pulled up at the project office Leroy rushed over excitedly .

Andrew , did you … did you get a new car ? he asked , running his hands over Andrews new vehicle as if it were a priceless treasure .

Andrew remained indifferent , explaining that his previous Porsche Panamera had been totaled while rescuing Lauren .

On his way to South City , he had stopped by the Mercedes dealership and casually picked up a new G Wagon .

Leroy looked thunderstruck and clutched his chest dramatically .

Andrew , how could you treat my dream car like that ? Ive been telling you to give it to me all this time , and now I find out youve been so careless with it ! Its my car , and Ill do what I want with it , Andrew retorted with amusement .

Dont you think youre overstepping ? Leroy paused , then gritted his teeth before making another attempt .

Since youre so wealthy and throwing money around , how about buying me a luxury car too ? Or maybe you could give me this G Wagon ? Are you begging me ? Andrew asked with a laugh .

Leroy hesitated for a moment but shamelessly said , If you agree , Ill beg ! From now on , Ill treat you like my big brother and follow you to hell and back , no complaints .

Christina could not ta it anymore and exploded in anger .

Leroy , get out of here ! Do you have any idea how much shame youre bringing to the Stevens family ?
