Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Finally , Michael understood Andrews two part strategy the trap and the pressure play .

Poor Paul had cracked under pressure and confessed , which Michael could understand .

After all , anyone would be terrified to drink potentially poisoned water , which was also why Michael refused to drink it .

However , he had underestimated Andrew , as none of the water was poisoned , and Lauren did not know who the culprit was .

They had simply played a trick to force Paul into confessing .

Just as his anger had begun to subside , Michaels face turned ashen as he clenched his fists again .

The humiliation was overwhelming .

He could not believe a mere gold digger had played him , a Rhodes family heir , like a fool .

Michael pulled out his phone and made a call .

Bane , didnt you say your poison was incurable except by you ? Some small time doctor just cured Lauren you better explain this ! A sinister voice replied , Hows this possible ? Mr.

Rhodes , you must be mistaken .

In Jayrodale , not even Cedric could counter my poisons .

Cedric was Francescas grandfather .

Michael scoffed .

I saw it myself .

Do you think Im making this up ? The plan to poison Lauren is clearly a bust .

You need to come up with something else .

After impatiently ending that call , Michael dialed another number .

Mr.

Garner , I dont care what it costs make that guy disappear .

I wont rest easy until that bastard is gone ! Even though Paul was dead and could not expose him , Andrew still held evidence against him .

Not only had he extorted 15 million , but he had also nearly ruined everything .

There was no way Michael would let him live .
