Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696 Stephen hesitated for a moment before forcing out a strained smile .

Mr.

Lloyd , the Reckoning Toast at the Jayrodale Grand Hotel officially started today .

Raymond plans to host it for three days straight , inviting all the major players in Jayrodale to witness it .

He explained , If , by the end of the third day , you havent shown up , it will be taken as a refusal to apologize .

At that point , Raymond , backed by the Wright family , might decide to make a move against you .

Please , think this through .

Andrews eyes darkened with indifference .

Ill go on the third day and settle it then .

But until then , I dont have the time or the interest to entertain them .

Stephen quickly nodded .

Of course , Mr.

Lloyd .

Ill pass the message along to Raymond .

Andrew gave a casual wave .

Do whatever you think is best .

He turned and left the office with Lauren beside him .

Dr.

Lloyd , Lauren said softly , glancing at him with concern , I really think you should take the Wright family seriously .

She knew his personality he was the kind of man who never bent under pressure .

However , she feared his stubbornness might draw the wrong kind of attention .

Andrews jaw tightened .

What happened to Dream Paradise was entirely the Chapman familys fault .

By any logic , theyre the ones who should be apologizing , not me .

If the Wright family chooses to ignore the facts and bully me into submission , then I have no choice but to fight back .

Lauren gave a small nod .

Alright .

I respect your decision .

But you should know … Winston is a lunatic .

A spoiled , psychotic brat .

If he loses his temper , things could get messy .

Andrew scoffed .

If hes smart , hell keep his tantrums to himself .

But if he decides to come after me , hell regret it .

Lunatic or not , Ill make him kneel and beg for mercy .

When they arrived at the Rhodes Corporation building , Marcus came rushing toward them with a tense expression .
