Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 +25 BONUS Troy , who had been on the verge of losing consciousness , seemed to regain his spirit upon hearing Andrews words .

Trembling all over , he looked up with tears of gratitude .

Thank you , Mr.

Lloyd ! I cant thank you enough ! Michaels face darkened , and he shot Andrew a questioning glare .

Whats going on with Troy ? And whats with the prescription you gave him ? Andrew smirked .

Oh , you didnt know ? Mr.

MacAfee here caught himself a pretty nasty case of an STD -so bad his nether regions have started to rot .

He came groveling to me , begging for treatment .

Michaels face went pale .

What ? That idiot actually managed to catch … that ? As someone who was no stranger to questionable flings himself , Michael suddenly felt an uncomfortable chill .

This news hit a little too close to home .

Lauren sneered .

He got what he deserved .

Messing around with Ruby landed him in this mess .

And when it got too bad , he had no choice but to beg Mr.

Lloyd for help .

Under Mr.

Lloyds pressure , he confessed everything about his dealings with Ruby , including how he leaked the formulas .

Otherwise , do you think he wouldve admitted to stealing the companys secrets so easily ? Michael shuddered at the thought .

A wave of relief washed over him as he realized how close he had come to making a fatal mistake .

He had considered making a move on Ruby himself , tempted by her allure .

Now , he silently thanked his lucky stars he had not followed through .

That womans a walking biohazard , he thought grimly .

Then , his eyes flicked to Troy , his expression a mixture of disdain and pity .

What a tragic idiot .

Just as he was processing this disaster , a commotion erupted outside the office .

The gathered employees quickly parted , lining up along the corridor with looks of respect and fear etched across their faces .

One of the senior executives , who had previously been knocked out by Andrew during a confrontation , 7/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 536 glared at him and barked , Andrew , how dare you remain seated ? Show your respect to Mrs.

Rhodes and greet her properly ! Andrew replied with an even tone , Im a board member of Rhodes Corporation , not a servant of the Rhodes family .

Why should I bow ? The executives face flushed with anger .

Michael snapped , Andrew , watch your tone ! Rhodes Corporation is part of the Rhodes familys holdings , and Mrs.

Rhodes is no ordinary person .

She oversees all Rhodes Corporation operations in Jayrodale , holding ultimate authority .

More importantly , she is the rightful wife of the Rhodes family head our matriarch ! You are obligated to show respect ! Andrew shrugged nonchalantly .

Apologies , but I dont bow to anyone .

My backs never been particularly flexible for that kind of thing .

Besides , he added with a faint smile , I dont bow to anyone whether its the matriarch of the Rhodes family , a general from Holtrien , or the head of some grand aristocratic family .

Its just not my style .
