Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 392

Chaptér 392 With frustration written across her face , Natasha gritted her teeth .

She had decided it was better not to show off her strategies in front of Andrew anymore , wanting to avoid further embarrassment .

Andrew ignored her visible discomfort and said calmly , I want you to understand that anything gained through deception and betrayal will eventually become too hot to handle and turn to dust .

Thats the lesson history has taught us time and time again .

Natasha scoffed .

Fine , I cant argue with you .

But you have to admit that two thirds or more of Jayrodales underworld is now under my control .

Either you and Dylan submit to my authority , or youll face death ! Andrew shook his head and replied , Youre seeing things through rose colored glasses .

While Dylan might not be able to handle you , I can take you down with a single move .

Thats another lesson I want to teach you today that in the face of absolute power , no amount of schemes or clever tricks will work .

Natasha paused , then laughed mockingly .

Darling , this is the first time Ive realized how dramatic you can be .

Who are you trying to intimidate ? Dont tell me youre planning to stand alone against my entire West End operation ? Andrew said seriously , Natasha , my original intention was to let you and Dylan coexist peacefully and develop separately .

Dont force my hand .

This isnt a threat , but rather an opportunity Im giving you ! Natashas eyes gradually turned cold as she sneered , Darling , while I admire you , I dont appreciate this kind of talk .
