Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 I want Lauren to experience true despair and unrelenting pain , Ruby hissed , her eyes alight with malice .

When the Rhodes family collapses completely , when their legacy is destroyed , I bet her anguished screams will sound like music to my cars .

Aspen , standing calmly by the window , gave a faint smile .

Hatred is indeed a powerful motivator , but you cant rely solely on it .

The brain , Ruby , is the deadlest weapon of all .

Ruby hesitated , then bowed her head respectfully .

Please , Ms.

Stevens , enlighten me .

Aspens cold smile deepened .

The Weller family is currently under the spotlight , drawing public scrutiny and outrage .

Its the perfect distraction for us Everyone thinks the crisis in Rhodes Corporations Pharmaceutical Division is over , but this lull in vigilance is precisely when I strike .

She turned to Ruby , her tone laced with pride .

The key is to attack your prey when they least expect it , when their guard is down thats when its most fatal With a light laugh , she added , I imagine neither Rhodes Corporation nor the Weller family has realized that I am the one orchestrating this chaos .

Rubys expression faltered as she spoke cautiously .

Ms.

Stevens , the entire Rhodes Corporation , including Michael , trusts me completely now .

But theres a man by Laurens side Andrew Lloyd .

Hes proving to be … difficult to deal with .

Aspens face darkened instantly , her icy demeanor growing even colder .

Andrew again ? Dont worry about him .

Ill take care of that pest myself .

Ruby glanced at Aspen , noticing a subtle shift in her as she mentioned Andrew .

Curious , she could not resist asking , Ms.

Stevens , did Andrew offend you in the past ? Aspens voice was as sharp as a blade .

Offend me ? That man ruined everything .

In Jayrodale , he almost turned my plans into a joke , leaving me humiliated .

Her tone grew even colder .

But soon , reinforcements from Bridgefields Stevens family will arrive .

Andrew has tested my patience too many times .
