Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 Lauren tugged lightly on Andrews sleeve , her voice low and cautious .

Dr.

Lloyd , let it go .

She despises anyone questioning her decisions .

Michael let out a mocking laugh , his tone dripping with disdain .

Andrew , youve got some nerve ! Aunt Tiana isnt just the Rhodes familys matriarch ; she now holds absolute authority over this corporation .

And you think you can strut in here , questioning her with your puny board member title like its some golden ticket ? The other executives quickly joined in , eager to pile on Mr.

Lloyd , it was one thing for you to act high and mighty before , but youre out of line speaking this way to Mrs.

Rhodes .

Clearly , Mr.

Lloyd doesnt grasp Mrs.

Rhodes power .

Let me enlighten you one word from her , and your precious board position is history .

Mrs.

Rhodes shouldnt waste her time on this clown .

If not for Ms.

Rhodes shielding him , who knows how much trouble hed have caused by now ? Tiana remained calm , her icy demeanor unshaken as her sharp gaze locked onto Andrew .

The head of the family has entrusted me with full control over the layrodale estate and Rhodes Corporation while they handle matters in Blumedale .

Do you understand what that means , Mr.

Lloyd ? Her voice grew colder as she continued .

Youre the first person bold enough to challenge my authority openly .

Andrew raised an eyebrow , his expression composed .

I wouldnt call it a challenge , Mrs.

Rhodes .

Im merely pointing out the flaws and injustices in your decisions .

As a board member or even just an employee I have both the right and the responsibility to speak up when I see something wrong .

Ignoring the growing tension in the room , Andrew went on .

That said , Rhodes Corporation is a family- run business .

If youre intent on ruling with an iron fist , disregarding fairness and logic , then theres nothing more to discuss .

Tianas lips curled into a frosty smile , her tone laced with sarcasm .
