Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 Andrew shook his head .

Im no master I just know a thing or two .

Elsie could no longer take Andrews modesty at face value .

Earlier , she had confidently shown off her antique knowledge while guiding Andrew and Francesca through the collection , but now she felt embarrassed .

It was like teaching calculus to a math professor .

While some celebrated , others brooded .

Orions lace had turned dark as he reached out his hand and demanded , I dont trust these worthless Jayrodale experts .

Give it to me I need to examine it myself .

Dream on , Orion , Cedric pulled back protectively .

Andrew intervened calmly , Let him see it .

Lets put his doubts to rest .

Cedric reluctantly handed over the relic .

Orion turned it over in his palm , examining it from every angle until his face went ashen gray , an uncontrollable glint of greed flickering in his eyes .

According to the auction rules , whoever authenticates a piece gets to keep it , Andrew said .

Mr.

Kelce , youve handled it enough , and its time to give it back .

Orions face twitched as he reluctantly returned the relic .

Cedric snatched it back with a cold laugh , mocking , Orion , earlier you manipulated me into wasting a million dollars .

As fate would have it , that million bought me a priceless relic .

Are you about to burst with jealousy ? ון Orion was indeed close to bursting .

He knew Andrew had outplayed him , and the thought that such a treasure had slipped through his fingers made his heart bleed .
