Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1293

Yara and Andrew left the construction site and got into the car.

Yara took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Mr. Lloyd, you really helped me out today. I'm not someone who forgets favors, so consider this one I owe you."

Andrew waved dismissively. "No need. As we agreed, I was repaying my debt to you. Plus, you gave me two villas. We're even now."

Hearing this, Yara became anxious. "Mr. Lloyd, you can't just cut ties with me like that! If something comes up in the future, I'm going to bother you shamelessly. After all, you agreed to form a partnership with me!"

Andrew replied flatly, "We'll see. If you can't offer something that interests me or something I find valuable… Then our so-called partnership could end at any time."

Yara was speechless with frustration. Nonetheless, she knew Andrew's words made perfect sense. Any partnership was built on mutual need, and both parties needed to bring equal strength to the table.

The harsh reality stung.

In the Wright family hierarchy, to put it bluntly, she was just the daughter of a mistress. She was not even qualified to partner with someone like Andrew.

"Mr. Lloyd, don't worry, I'll definitely become someone useful to you," Yara said with determination.

Andrew smiled faintly. "What makes you think so? As things stand, I don't lack money, connections, or muscle. I have everything I need to accomplish whatever I want. Since I don't need anything, what use would you be to me?"

This statement was incredibly blunt, but Yara was self-aware enough not to take offense. She understood clearly that someone like Andrew was already considered a top-tier power player in Blumedale. He could probably hold his own against the heads of the Five Apex Families.
