Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 My old flame ? Andrew asked , puzzled .

Francesca scoffed , Yes , the perfect CEO Christina and her family , along with that annoying Aspen .

Andrew walked to the hospital lobby with curiosity , where he found Irene lying on a gurney being wheeled to admission , wailing dramatically about her losses .

My money ! All my life savings ! My retirement fund its all gone ! God , why must you give me the hardest battle ? Her desperate cries drew sympathetic looks from passersb Andrew could not help but smile , realizing that Irene had been hospitalized due to the shock of losing her investment .

This money obsessed woman was truly having the worst luck .

Christina and Aspen stood nearby , their faces dark with embarrassment .

When Aspen spotted Andrew , she immediately stormed over to him with a rigid expression .

Andrew , let me ask you something , Aspen demanded .

You said the Northern District would fall soon and that my investment would be like jumping into a fire pit , right ? Andrew smirked and replied , Yes , thats exactly what I said .

And I was right , wasnt I ? Aspens voice turned ice cold as she asked , Then can I assume Atlass death is connected to you ? Did you know beforehand , or perhaps you orchestrated everything ? Did you kill Atlas ? Is that why you were so certain my billion dollar investment would go down the drain ? Youre partly right I did know Atlas would fall , Andrew replied calmly .

I warned both you and the Stevens family not to throw your money away , but none of you listened .

Thats not my fault .

Aspen responded with a contemptuous laugh .

Christina stepped forward and sneered , Andrew , cant you tell Aspen was baiting you ? I cant believe youd shamelessly take credit for Atlas and the Northern Districts downfall .

Dont you think youre giving yourself too much importance ? Andrew raised an eyebrow and asked , So you dont believe what I just said ? Aspen scoffed .

Were not idiots .

Who are you compared to Atlas ? He was a legendary figure who controlled the entire Northern District .
