Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Faced with the cager gazes of the two crime lords Andrew simply smiled and stopped talking , picking up his tea instead .

Dylan caught on quickly and slapped his forehead .

He said , Mr.

Lloyd has already helped us so much with both his wisdom and courage , while Madam Vostokoff and I have been doing nothing ! Turning to Natasha , he added , Madam Vostokoff , Mr.

Lloyds assistance comes with certain conditions .

As it should , Natasha nodded .

She no longer dared to underestimate Andrew , knowing that capable people always had their own terms .

Deliberately pulling down her neckline to reveal more cleavage , Natasha smiled flirtatiously at Andrew .

Mr.

Lloyd , youre a young man in your prime .

Usually , men want either money or women .

I wonder if my beauty catches your eye .

If youre interested , Id be willing to warm your bed tonight .

Dylan watched with envy .

Natasha was a stunning widow with both power and influence .

When he saw Natasha offering herself to Andrew , he could not help but think Andrew was a lucky man .

However , Dylan remained cautious .

Natashas usual strategy involved using her body to attract talented young men and skilled fighters , making them devoted to her through their desire for her charms .

South City might lose its favored position with West End if Andrew fell for her .

She continued , In Jayrodales underworld , Atlas has been as steady as a rock for years .

Many have tried various schemes to eliminate him , but they all failed and ended up destroying themselves instead ! I once sent assassins after Atlas , Dylan said gravely ..

But it was useless because Atlas is too powerful , even stronger than both me and Madam Vostokoff .

All the assassins ended up dead .

And then theres Finley , that playboy from Hidden Dragons , Natasha added seriously .

Despite his vices , hes at least a junior grandmaster in combat .

These two alone are more than either West End or South City can handle individually .
