Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2547

Amari and Madeline were finally together. Seeing how hard it had been for them to get there, both of them broke down in tears.

Andrew could tell Amari had suffered a lot while living with the Webster family, yet he never said a word about it. Maybe every adult had their own pain they could not talk about, and Amari, being older now, was even less willing to open up—even to his senior.

Mikayla couldn't take it anymore and turned to Theon. "Mr. Orben, there's no point staying here any longer. Why don't we just leave?"

Theon's face twisted in rage. "Leave? You want me to walk away after being humiliated and trampled on by Andrew again?"

Mikayla gritted her teeth. "There's nothing we can do. The moment he showed that token, the Webster family's stance became unshakable. That token must mean something serious, so there's no need for us to stick around and embarrass ourselves."

Theon's eyes turned dark. "Embarrass ourselves? I don't think so."

Mikayla noticed the strange look in his eyes and panicked. "Mr. Orben, what are you planning to do?"

Theon sneered. "What am I planning? You'll find out soon enough."

He suddenly stood up, took two big strides into the center of the hall, and shouted, "Mrs. Webster Senior, Mr. Webster, everyone, please listen to me!"

In an instant, the once noisy room went silent.

Helda frowned. "Mr. Orben, what else do you have to say? Things have gone far enough. If you're here to talk about the business deal, then I'm sorry, it's off the table. Madeline will handle it from here."

Theon chuckled. "No, Mrs. Webster Senior, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to talk about business anymore. What I want to say is that I'm also unmarried and without a partner."

That made quite a few people frown, some trying not to laugh.
