Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1207

Davon blinked in confusion and asked, "Ms. Aspen, who exactly are you calling bitch'?"

Aspen smirked coldly and pointed straight at Christina. The latter's face darkened as she stood up stiffly.

"Aspen, you're going too far!" Christina snapped. "If I had known Supreme Capital Group was the major client here, do you really think I'd have bothered showing up?"

Her tone was sharp, but there was a flicker of unease in her eyes.

Aspen remained utterly indifferent. "Since you don't care, then do us all a favor and leave. Christina, I told you once that I would make sure your entire family would struggle in Blumedale. And when I say something, I mean it."

Christina's face turned from merely unpleasant to downright ugly. She turned sharply to Davon and demanded, "You're the one who invited us here. Now what's your decision?"

It was a clever move, throwing the ball back into Davon's court. After all, they were on Phoenixdream Enterprises' turf—surely Aspen and Andrew could not completely run wild here, right?

Davon forced a dry laugh and looked over at Andrew, stammering, "Uh, Mr. Lloyd, is there… some kind of misunderstanding with Ms. Christina?"

Andrew just shrugged lazily. "Don't ask me. Today, Aspen's handling everything. Her word is my word."

Davon immediately turned toward Aspen, trying to smile. "Ms. Aspen, you know, Ms. Christina's backed by the Wrights.

"And the Wrights are one of the Five Apex Families in Blumedale… maybe it's not worth making enemies?"

Aspen shot him a frosty glance. "Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?"
