Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1073

Andrew smiled and said, "Relax, Mrs. Rhodes. Don't worry—I'm not here to settle the score for the things you did in the past."

Tiana instinctively wanted to snap back. However, the moment she remembered this guy could probably pin her down with one hand, she swallowed her temper fast.

She huffed, "Fine. You did the Rhodes family a huge favor today and even saved both our lives. If you wanted to come after me, I'd honestly have no choice but to take it."

Jameson chuckled and said, "Tiana, you don't need to be so passive-aggressive. Andy's not that petty. He never had any intention of coming after you."

Andrew nodded. "Mr. Rhodes gets me."

Jameson looked Andrew up and down with admiration in his eyes. "Andy, I totally misjudged you. I never thought you were hiding your true power—you're on a whole other level!"

He laughed heartily, adding, "You and Lauren are a perfect match!"

Tiana scoffed unwillingly. "It's too soon to say things like that! Aidan might be gone, but Kenny and Sherilyn are still standing!"

Jameson's expression darkened as he glanced toward the door, where Kenny and Sherilyn were already trembling with fear.

Sherilyn's voice was shaky with disbelief. "Dad, how could Mr. Haywood Senior lose? And to Andrew, of all people? Maybe he's just too old and past his prime?"

Kenny looked like he had swallowed poison, his face twisted in disbelief. He had gone through hell to bring Aidan here, hoping to win it all in one move and take over as head of the Rhodes family.

Old and weak? Not a chance. After all, Aidan was ranked fifth on the Underworld Index. His strength was at its peak; even Tiana had nearly fallen under his hand.
