Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Thank you , then , Aspen said with a smile as she hung up the phone .

Like I said , life isnt just about stone gambling and these trivial antiquities .

Power and connections are my ultimate weapons to crush you , Andrew ! Christina asked hesitantly , Aspen , who did you call for help ? From what we saw during the stone gambling , Ms.

Santana and Andrew werent cheating or manipulating anything .

Aspen waved her off .

Stay out of this , Christie .

That Andrew must have set me up .

Why else would I lose so badly ? Remember how he insisted on raising the stakes before we even started ? That should have been my first red flag , but I foolishly missed it .

Christina nodded uncertainly , not wanting to interfere further .

Though Aspen treated her like a close friend , there was still a social gap between them since Aspen came from the main branch of the Bridgefields Stevens family .

Aspen , Elsie works for Silas Vaughn at Radiant Group , and Andrew now knows many Jayrodale socialites , Christina reminded her .

Will investigating them even work ? Aspen laughed coldly .

Just because Im not from Jayrodale doesnt mean I dont have connections here .

The person I just called is the Chief Commissioner of the Jayrodale Police Department .

Christina was shocked .

The Chief Commissioner ? Mr.

Donald Warren ? Hes one of Jayrodales highest ranking officials ! Thats right , Aspen replied smugly , crossing her arms .

Donald and I were classmates at Blumedale .
