Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2145

Blumedale's Haywood family was one of the Five Apex Families. At the moment, they found themselves in an extremely awkward position.

"Mr. Hawyood Senior, the Goldings, the Pecks, and the Wrights have all bowed to Mr. Lloyd," the butler, Adrian Meyer, reported uneasily.

He added, "The Keller family was already his. That leaves only us, the Haywood family."

Roy stood alone in the courtyard, lost in thought for a long time without speaking. After a while, he finally asked, "How has Xavier been recovering lately?"

Adrian smiled, "Mr. Haywood has been recovering quite well. He's almost back to normal."

Roy nodded. "That's good."

Xavier had been crushed by Andrew before, and he had never gotten over it. He had wanted revenge, but it was impossible now. After all, Andrew had already defeated the Three Titans and was ruling Gabo Creek with no equal.

Hence, the Haywood family's hopes of regaining their honor had all but vanished.

Adrian carefully reminded him, "Sir, everyone with influence in Blumedale has already gone to congratulate Mr. Lloyd. If we don't make a move soon, things could get very difficult later."

The meaning was clear. If the Haywoods did not take a side now, Andrew might erase them entirely, and they would have no power to resist.

"Enough, enough…" Roy sighed, looking to the sky. "It seems fate itself wants Andrew to destroy the Haywood family."

He turned and waved his hand. "I'll change clothes. Anyway, prepare valuable gifts. The Haywood family will bow its head to Mr. Lloyd, admit our fault, and pledge our loyalty."

Adrian bowed. "At once, Mr. Haywood Senior."

As Roy headed to his room, he suddenly turned back and walked toward Xavier's quarters. "Xavier, you've heard, haven't you?"

Xavier's face was dark. After a long while, he finally nodded. "I heard."

"What do you think?" Roy asked.
