Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1244

On the west side of the capital, there was a ritzy neighborhood where the real estate was worth a fortune.

Mosby's swanky villa was nestled right there.

With the Grand Medical Summit just around the corner, Mosby had been hustling like crazy, getting everything ready for the big event.

Even with his medical skills being top-tier in the capital—a place brimming with talent—he was still cramming like there was no tomorrow to make sure he shone at the Summit.

It was tough out there, even for a bigwig like him. He had to stay sharp, or the next hotshot would leave him in the dust.

Take that pesky Andrew, for instance.

The kid's medical mojo had Mosby all mixed up, forcing him to stay on his toes.

Last time, Andrew actually managed to fix the Keller family head's energy corruption, stealing the spotlight and rewards that were meant for Mosby!

Naturally, Mosby's got a serious grudge brewing.

However, it also lit a fire under him.

"Hmph, I've gotta hand it to the kid, his skills are freakishly good for his age! However, if he thinks he can go toe-to-toe with me, he's dreaming…"

Mosby slammed his medical book shut and huffed to himself, lost in his thoughts.

The doorbell echoed through the house, followed by the eager voices of the apprentices. " Mr. Lake, we're back, please let us in!"

Mosby's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly swung open the villa's iron gate.

The Bates family's missing piece of the map must be theirs then!

They would not be back that late for any other reason.

Mosby thought to himself, his breath quickening with anticipation.
