Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2357

Seeing the greedy, covetous look in Mikayla's eyes, Isabelle was quite satisfied. She carefully put the pills away and nodded. "That's right, Andrew gave them to me. I asked him to help improve my current figure.

"He didn't even ask me for payment; he just helped me. You saw it yourself. These are top-tier seventh-grade pills worth millions, and even then, you can't just buy them. So tell me, would someone like that ever have bad intentions toward me? Would he ever try to harm me?"

With that, she walked straight out without caring about Mikayla's reaction.

Alone in the room, Mikayla's expression twisted little by little. "Andrew, you're willing to help that little brat selflessly, but you won't even accept my kindness. Fine. Since you want to stand against me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

…

Meanwhile, Isabelle had only made it halfway out of the Owens residence when she suddenly turned.

She stopped one of the servants and asked, "Where's that mutt named Zayden Owens?"

The servant paled in shock. "Ms. Robertson, he's, uh… over there."

Without another word, Isabelle strode in that direction. Soon, she spotted Zayden. He was sitting there watching some provocative livestream, grinning like an idiot.

She walked straight over and stopped in front of him.

Zayden looked up and immediately smirked. "Well, if it isn't the Robertson family's little princess. What's this? Changed your mind? Think I'm good enough now?"

Isabelle's eyes were lifeless, devoid of any warmth. She kicked out with the force of thunder.

Only then did his face twitch violently as he barked, "Go! Check on Zayden immediately, then call a top doctor to examine his condition."

One of the Owens family's fighters knelt by Zayden and checked on his condition. His face drained of color in an instant, and blood coated his fingers. "Sir, Mr. Owens is ruined."

Lorenzo's eyes blazed. "Ruined? What do you mean by 'ruined'? Speak clearly!"

The man swallowed hard and stammered, "Ruined means… crushed. Completely crushed. Nothing left but a bloody mess."

Lorenzo froze stiff on the spot. Mikayla, who had rushed over in panic, stood there in stunned silence. She had never imagined her scheme would end up crippling her own cousin so badly.
