Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Dean had hoped for a quiet life after joining Madblade Martial Academy .

Instead , Andrew had shown up , stomped all over their pride , and forced them to pay back every cent without daring to make a sound .

Dean had long resolved to follow three golden rules when it came to Andrew : not to provoke him , not to act recklessly , and not to resist .

Yet , fate was cruel .

Not only had he crossed paths with Andrew again , but Hugh had also managed to offend him and even expected Dean to clean up the mess .

Deans patience snapped , and for a brief moment , he genuinely considered killing Hugh to put an end to this nightmare .

Hugh lay on the floor , beaten to a bloody pulp and sobbing uncontrollably , his face a mixture of tears and snot .

Mr.

Mayer , I called you here to help me deal with them , not to beat me up ! Why are you hitting me ? Get rid of those two scumbags already ! Dean exploded .

Shut your damn mouth , you idiot ! He punctuated his fury with a vicious kick to Hughs stomach , making him curl up on the floor and vomit bile .

You moron ! Dean yelled , grabbing Hugh by the collar and leaning in close .

Do you even know who they are ? Let me spell it out for you these two are people that not even Rodney would dare to cross ! Hughs blood drained face twisted in disbelief .

What are you saying ? Thats impossible ! Rodney is one of Jayrodales four most eligible bachelors ! Theres no one in this city he cant handle ! Deans eye twitched as his rage reached a boiling point .

Youre still running your mouth ? Let me remind you this man here , he said , pointing to Andrew , is the one who stormed into Madblade Martial Academy , beat us all down , made me cough up every penny we owed , and left Mr.

Lincoln bedridden ! Even your cousin Rodney had to bow and scrape like a scared puppy when he faced him .

Do you understand now , or should I beat some more sense into you ? he added .

Dean slapped Hugh twice across his swollen face , hard enough to rattle his brain .
