Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 +25 BONUS Cedric was shaking with rage .

He raised his hand , ready to strike Simon , who sneered in defiance .

Mr , Aicker , look around .

So many people are watching .

Are you sure you want to cut ties with me right here ? Simons voice dripped with arrogance .

He continued , If you do , by tomorrow morning , every major and minor power in Jayrodale will know that the Aicker family has splintered .

Do you really think you can handle the consequences of that scandal ? Without me , the Aickers wont even be relevant anymore ! Simons bitter words were laced with hatred and conceit .

Cedric quivered with fury and hissed through gritted teeth , Youve gone mad ! Youre blinded by greed and ambition .

As soon as we return to the Aicker residence , youll pack your things and leave .

From this day forward , you are no longer my apprentice ! Simons face contorted with rage .

Fine ! You want me gone ? Then give me Fran as my wife , and pass the leadership of the Aickers to me .

Otherwise , I wont leave ! Do you really think that will happen ? Cedric spat .

Youre right about one thing the Aickers need an heir , and Fran cant shoulder the entire burden alone .

But Id rather let the family dissolve or hand it over to Andrew than give it to a poisonous snake like you .

Simons eyes burned with fury .

So thats it ? Youd give everything to that pretty faced Andrew ? What is it about him that makes you so biased ? What does he have that I dont ? Cedric gave a cold laugh .

What do you lack compared to him ? Everything .

You dont even come close .

I held back the truth all these years to protect your ego , but now that youve crossed the line , its time you heard it .

Compared to Dr.

Lloyd , youre an incompetent fool in every respect .
