Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1418

Logan explained, "The Irvings hold an important position in the Gabo Creek Chamber, so don't take it to heart. You can wipe them out when you get the chance later!"

Andrew curled his lip, "I'm not some villain who goes around destroying people for no reason. I just can't stand that crippled Irving bastard acting like everyone should bow down to his family!"

Logan smiled, "Don't worry. If you can't stand it, you won't have to force yourself to tolerate it much longer!"

Andrew raised an eyebrow, "Much longer? What do you mean?"

Logan jerked his chin toward the building, "Come on, my father wants me to bring you to the highest-level executive meeting of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce! He's planning to pass the Chamber presidency to you.

"After that, you'll be the head of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce. Then, you can do whatever you want, so naturally you won't have to force yourself to hold back anymore!"

Andrew's jaw dropped. "What the hell?"

He immediately turned to leave, but Logan grabbed him and said through gritted teeth, "Andy, I'm begging you! You have to take this seat no matter what!

"I'm the only male heir in the Kellers, and managing the family business is already my limit. My father's getting old and has been wanting to step down from the Chamber presidency for ages, but it wasn't until you showed up that he finally decided you were the right person for the job!"

Andrew protested angrily, "Logan, that sounds nice and all, but while the Kellers may only have one male heir, you've got three sisters! I've seen how 'capable' your three sisters are—any one of them could take over for Mr. Keller Senior, right?"

Logan rubbed his temples, looking pained. "Andrew, you don't know the half of it. Emily, the eldest? Five years in business—burned through nearly a billion of the family fortune. Freya, the middle one, is too busy chasing fame in the entertainment industry to care about power or money. You'd be lucky to catch her at home."

He continued, "And Hannah? The most rebellious of them all. Clubs, bars, zero sense of responsibility. Trust me, my father and I have tried."
