Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 884

Tiana barked out an order, her voice sharp. "Jerry, take Lauren away. Now!"

Jerry immediately gripped Lauren by the arm, hurried her out of the building, and straight back to the Rhodes residence.

Meanwhile, Andrew pulled out his phone and made a call. "Come get this dead loser out of here."

Tiana's expression turned even colder. "You're seriously not planning to run? Even now, you're still standing here, wasting time?"

Andrew glanced at her and let out a mocking chuckle. "Did I ever say I was running, Mrs. Rhodes?"

Tiana's head buzzed as if she had just been struck. Her voice turned razor-sharp. "Andrew, do you actually think you can go up against Kenny and the Golding family?

"You have no idea what you've done. Your reckless, idiotic bravado isn't just going to get you killed—it's going to drag Marvin down with you! You didn't just make a mess—you just signed a death warrant for yourself and everyone around you!"

Andrew remained expressionless, completely unfazed by her outburst. "Mrs. Rhodes, Lauren is gone now, so I suggest you watch how you talk to me. Michael did say something right today—when I respect you, I call you Mrs. Rhodes. But if I don't respect you… then you're nothing."

Tiana's face turned a shade of red so deep it was almost purple. She glared at him, her fury nearly boiling over. "What did you just say?! Say it again, I dare you!"

Her bodyguards immediately stepped forward, their voices booming. "Watch your mouth!"

On the other end of the line, Marvin let out a low chuckle. "Well, well, well. Finally, you're acting like a real beast, Mr. Lloyd. Honestly, I was dying for you to let loose already.

"Figures—it always takes a woman to get a man to really go all in. I have to say, I like this Lauren girl. Mr. Lloyd, don't even stress. Kenny? That little worm? I could squash him in my sleep. The Golding family, though… that's gonna be a bit of a hassle.

"But hey, back in the day, we fought our way out of Chetvine. Do you think some Gabo Creek goons are gonna stop us now? Hah!"

Marvin burst into laughter before hanging up, sounding absolutely thrilled about the chaos Andrew had just unleashed. Even though Andrew had just stirred up a storm that reached Blumedale's most powerful families, Marvin showed zero signs of panic.

If anything, he was more excited than Andrew, as if he lived for this kind of madness.
