Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 847

Andrew’s expression remained emotionless, his eyes devoid of any sympathy. “Didn’t you say you were confident? That you were exceptional? I gave you every possible advantage. Yet look at you you still couldn’t even touch me.

He added, “So, tell me… doesn’t that make you completely worthless?”

Tears finally spilled from Aspen’s eyes. She gritted her teeth and hissed, “Andrew, don’t get cocky! I’ll fight you to the death!”

Andrew’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a flick of his wrist, s hand cut through the air, heading straight for Aspen’s face.

She shut her eyes in despair, bracing herself for another slap. However, it did not land on her cheek this time. Instead, his palm came down hard–right on her backside.

This was not a playful slap–it was pure, calculated punishment.

A sharp gasp escaped Aspen’s lips as a searing pain shot through her body. Her legs buckled, a numbing ache spreading through her lower half, making it impossible to stand.

The sheer force of the strike sent her crashing to the ground. She curled up, gripping her legs as she trembled from the pain.

Andrew dusted off his hands. “Game over. Trash is still trash–boring and useless.”

Aspen slowly lifted her head. Her eyes burned red with hatred, tears still clinging to her lashes.

“One day… I’ll make you eat those words,” she swore, her voice shaking with rage. “I’ll prove to you that the ‘trash ‘you look down on will be someone you have to look up

to!

Andrew did not even bother responding since he was not interested in empty promises.

He dusted his hands and turned to Natasha. “Keep this Stevens family brat here for now. Throw her into training with your people. Let’s see if she ever improves from being the absolute weakest.”

Natasha grinned. “Sure, whatever you say. But honestly, it feels like a waste to put such a stunning woman through combat training. There are plenty of better ways for her to be useful than swinging a sword around.”
