Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505 Faced with Tianas fierce demeanor , Lauren responded in disbelief , Are you really going to deny everything Andrew has done ? How can you be so self deceptive and blind ? Tianas tone calmed , but her disdain was evident .

Im not denying it .

Im just looking at the bigger picture from a wiser perspective .

This boy is all show and no substance everything hes shown you is borrowed from Marvins influence and power .

She continued , His money comes from Marvin , his influence stems from being tied to Jayrodales wealthiest man , and even his life has been protected by Marvin .

Otherwise , with the enemies hes made , he wouldnt have survived this long .

Tianas relentless questioning completely dismissed all of Andrews contributions to Rhodes Corporation .

Lauren , enraged , responded , You can criticize me all you want , but what Andrew has done for me and the company are undeniable facts .

I absolutely wont let you insult him or someone whos devoted himself to helping me .

Lauren , who had always appeared submissive before Tiana , now stood with tears welling up in her reddened eyes , glaring at her mother with fury.

Seeing her daughter look at her with such cold hatred , Tiana froze .

For a moment , she was caught off guard .

Lauren Tiana began, but Lauren cut her off as tears streamed down her face .

Hes the only man Ive ever loved , she declared firmly , without hesitation or fear .

But no matter what he does , he cant win your approval or the familys acceptance .

Since youre being so unreasonable and pushy , I have nothing more to say except this -I wont marry anyone but Andrew .

Tianas momentary guilt and hesitation vanished , replaced by a cold smirk .
