Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1067

Sherilyn grinned and said, "Mr. Haywood, your two apprentices really are extraordinary."

Aidan let out a proud snort and replied with disdain, "I don't even need to step in. Keep watching—Tiana's defeat is only a matter of time. I told you already, that the Rhodes family is nothing more than a joke."
