Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1030

Chapter 1030 Zachary let out a cold snort.

"You better make sure there isn't a next time.

Everyone seated here has earned their placeexcept you.

You're just a cheap nobody who doesn't belong at this table." He added, "Get on your knees and pour drinks for Mr.

Lloyd and Ms.

Stevens." Ruth stared at him in disbelief.

Was he seriously asking her to kneel now, all for Andrew? Was he really worth this level of humiliation? Ultimately, she gritted her teeth and dropped to her knees like a servantsilently pouring drinks as ordered.

Aspen watched, wanting to say something but stopped herself.

she could not help but shoot Andrew a look, annoyed he had not said a word to stop it.

Letting someone kneel like that was seriously inhumane.

However, Andrew just sipped his drink quietly, as if he had not seen anything.

He had no intention of stepping innot after how Ruth had acted earlier.

If anything, this was just karma being served cold.

Zachary downed half his glass and looked across the table.

"All these years...

we thought you were"

Andrew smirked.

"Dead, right?" Zachary paused, then laughed awkwardly.

"At first, yeah.

That's what everyone believed.

But later...

no one dared say it anymore.

Anyone else could've diedbut you? No one ever truly believed you would." Andrew waved his hand.

"That's all in the past.

Come ondrink." Zachary immediately raised his glass respectfully.

Back in the day, he would not have even dreamed of drinking at the same table as this man.

Not because of fearbut because he simply was not qualified.

Andrew set his glass down and asked, "And you? How'd you end up here? Opening a restaurant and living on scraps? With the record you had, and the people above who favored you, shouldn't you bea colonel by now?" Zachary shook his head.

"After you left, everything fell apart.

If this were back then, yeah my goal was the battlefield, to earn my stars.

I wanted to be a general and lead real campaigns.
