Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2120

In Rowan's memory, Andrew had only been a handsome young doctor. Years ago, Marvin Yates, the wealthiest man in Jayrodale, had brought him along to treat her. Back then, she was the high and mighty heiress of the Onyx Serpents, destined to one day command storms and lead the organization to glory.

However, times had changed. The Onyx Serpents had fallen and fled Goldridge. That young doctor, the one who once examined her from head to toe and lingered in her thoughts for years, had now become one of the Three Titans of all Gabo Creek.

To Rowan, everything felt unreal.

"Sorry, I lost my composure," she murmured, noticing Rachel's strange look.

Blushing, she steadied herself and added shyly, "He told me to come to Blumedale to find him. He said if I came here, someone would take care of the arrangements."

Rachel smiled. "That's simple. If Mr. Lloyd said it, then whatever needs arranging is no problem. I'll take you to meet Mr. Keller Senior."

Rowan was stunned. "You won't even check if what I'm saying is true? Aren't you worried I might be using his name just to freeload?"

Rachel chuckled. "With the power of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Lloyd's wealth, do you think we'd care about a freeloader? Besides, in this city, I doubt anyone would dare use his name falsely. If you don't believe me, you can ask around yourself."

At that moment, Rowan no longer doubted. The man she thought was just an ordinary doctor had truly risen to become a giant of power. And here she was, once a proud young lady, now needing his name just to stand firm.

Rachel notified George, who soon came in person. When he learned who Rowan was, surprise flashed in his eyes before quickly vanishing. He immediately understood that, being the seasoned veteran he was, Andrew was building his own power base. So, he immediately switched to a warm attitude, saying Blumedale would open its doors to the Onyx Serpents.

Actually, George had completely misunderstood Andrew's intentions. He had asked Rowan to come to Gabo Creek province simply because he wanted to help her out, and he had not thought about anything else at all.

Bringing George and Rachel's group with her, Rowan returned to the roadside. "Grandma, you can all get out of the car now. From now on, Onyx Serpents will establish ourselves and develop in Blumedale!"
