Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 +25 BONUS Natasha felt both ashamed and furious but kept her composure and forced a smile .

Ernest , Its my honor that youd even consider someone like me , an old widow past her prime .

But our personal matters shouldnt mix with Mr.

Lloyds business .

Lets stick to discussing the rare medicinal herb you have .

Ernes was completely unmoved .

He shot a condescending glance at Andrew and sneered , Ive already said it this kid is a nobody .

I would never stoop so low as to do business with someone beneath me .

It would ruin my reputation .

But if you still want my rare medicinal herb , theres only one option : Natasha , agree to be with me , and Ill hand it over for free .

Natashas beautiful face flushed red , though it was anger , not embarrassment .

With her personality , she would have told Ernest to get lost without hesitation .

However , since Andrew needed that herb , she had no choice but to hold back .

More importantly , Ernest was backed by the powerful Ramsey family of Blumedale , and Natasha did not want to escalate things unnecessarily .

Andrew finally spoke , his tone calm and unbothered , with a faint smile tugging at his lips .

Ernest , have you looked in a mirror recently ? Youre practically ancient , half your teeth are missing , and yet here you are , shamelessly thinking you can win over Natasha .

Youre just plain delusional .

Ernest froze for a moment , thinking he had misheard .

Immediately after , he erupted in rage .

You little punk , what did you just say to me ? Do you even know who I am ? If I told you , youd be scared out of your wits ! He had dismissed Andrew as irrelevant from the start , but now this kid had the audacity to insult him right in his face .

Andrew stayed calm and replied , I dont care who you are , Ernest .

But if Ive come to get your rare medicinal herb , it means Im prepared .
