Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 It doesnt matter when I came back , Andrew said with a cold smile .

However , you seem pretty scared of Dr.

Aicker finding out .

I wonder how hed feel about his star student doing something so disgraceful ? Terror flashed across Simons face .

Cedric knew about his feelings for Francesca but had never approved of them , which frustrated Simon deeply .

If Cedric found out about tonights attempted assault , Simon knew he would be expelled from in disgrace .

As this realization hit him , a murderous glint appeared in his eyes .

He snarled , Andrew , since youve seen everything , Ill have to silence you permanently .

At this point , he knew murder was his only way to keep this from reaching Cedric .

I wouldnt try it , Andrew warned calmly .

Youll be the one getting hurt .

Simon sneered .

Youre really full of yourself .

Let me show you what it means to be Dr.

Aickers senior apprentice ! .

Just as the tension peaked , Francesca stirred in her sleep , the commotion waking her up .

She rubbed her eyes groggily and sat up , still drowsy from the nights drinks .

Andrew ? Simon ? Whats going on here ? she asked , her voice laced with confusion .

Simons face shifted immediately, feigning righteous indignation .

Fran , youre awake ! Thank goodness .

This scum tried to take advantage of you , and I caught him in the act .

I was just about to subdue him and report him to you and Dr.

Aicker ! Francesca blinked in disbelief .

Andrew tried to do what ? Simon , are you sure about this ? Simon nodded earnestly .

I saw it with my own eyes ! And honestly , Fran , you being drunk tonight may have been part of his plan .

Hes a despicable , shameless man , and I cant allow him to stay here .

Francesca frowned and shook her head .

Simon , Andrew isnt like that .

I trust him .
