Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711

Chapter 711

Finley was all for Aspen’s devious schemes. As long as it was against Andrew, he did not care who it was–he was more than happy to watch.

On the other hand, Christina secretly thought that perhaps this was an opportunity to test Andrew’s true abilities. Winston, being the heir of Blumedale’s Wright family, certainly wielded tremendous influence.

If Andrew had provoked such a powerful young man, she wondered how he would handle the situation. If he crumbled instantly before Winston and begged for mercy, i would only prove he was not anything special after all.

As time passed, more and more guests filled the hotel lobby. Many had not received invitations but had snuck in just to watch the drama unfold.

A Reckoning Toast ceremony was not something you saw every day. Since it was being hosted by Raymond, the owner of Dream Paradise himself, whoever was on the receiving end would likely end up in a miserable state. “Damn it, he still hasn’t shown up. This little bastard is really asking for death!” Raymond cursed impatiently. Winston, trying to impress Aspen and Christina, waved his hand casually and smiled. “Calm down. What’s the rush? With me personally overseeing this, when he shows up, his only option will be to kneel and apologize Winston continued. “If he doesn’t come, well, I’ll personally visit his home tomorrow and make sure his whole family is kneeling at my feet!”

As time continued to slip away, Christina frowned. She wondered if Andrew was too afraid to show up.

Finley was also gritting his teeth, thinking Andrew was cunning, treacherous, and despicable. He might actually be standing them up, deliberately embarrassing Raymond.

Just then, there was a commotion at the main entrance. Everyone’s attention immediately shifted in that direction.

Stephen led the way, with Andrew walking in the center, Dylan and Natasha flanking him on either side, followed by more than a dozen skilled fighters, all walking in unhurriedly.

The crowd immediately erupted into whispered discussions.

“He actually dared to come. This Andrew has some serious guts!” someone commented.

Another said, “If I were him, I would’ve bought a plane ticket and fled overseas by now. Most of the third day has already passed, so there’s no point in coming now. Mr. Chapman won’t accept his apology!”

“What an idiot! Coming to apologize but bringing backup? Isn’t he just provoking Mr. Chapman and asking for a beating?” someone else remarked.

“Dylan and Natasha better keep their distance if they know what’s good for them. Otherwise, Winston might get angry and wipe out Jayrodale’s entire underground in one fell swoop!”
