Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622 Aspen lay in bed , her eyes glistening with tears , her gaze blank as she said nothing .

Meanwhile , Irene and Leroy stood outside the room , peeking in .

Irene asked , Leroy , do you think Aspens brain was messed up from the hits ? She hasnt said a word since she woke up .

Mom , youre overthinking .

Aspen just got a few slaps , probably just a concussion .

Nothing too serious .

The mother and son did not notice their raised voices as they continued to discuss .

Christina glanced at them and coldly said , Mom , Leroy , if youre done , why dont you go do something else ? Aspens in a bad mood , so please , no more of your sarcastic comments .

Irene gave a dry laugh and said , Christie , if Aspen is awake , can she let me know when she will pay me back the money I invested in her ? Christina frowned and said , Mom , you know that money is gone .

Why are you still asking Aspen for it ? Irene pouted , looking displeased .

Its lost , sure , but thats Aspens loss , not mine .

She cant just bully me , especially since that money was meant for my retirement .

Christina could not stand how shallow and materialistic her mother was being .

Before she could respond , Aspen , who had been silent , suddenly said , Irene , dont worry .

Ill pay you back every penny .

Irene looked slightly embarrassed , forcing a smile .

Theres no rush , Aspen .

I was just asking .

Were family , right ? I understand if youre tight on money right now .

Aspens eyes filled with rage as she said , That Andrew … I swear , Im going to kill him .

Im in this miserable situation all because of him ! 1 Irene egged her on , Thats right , Aspen .

You need to teach Andrew a lesson and take everything from him .
