Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 951

Sighing, Irene said, "Christie, you might not want to hear this, but you and Andrew, you two are from completely different worlds now!"

Her words were hard for Christina to swallow. She never expected that her mother, who always looked down on Andrew, was now admitting defeat.

Leroy snorted, "Mom, I can't agree with you on this one. Sure, Andrew's successful, but it's not as exaggerated as you're making it sound, okay?

"You only see him putting on airs, but did you ever think that by annoying all the big shots in Blumedale, he's going to have to pay the price sooner or later? And now Mr. Wright has set his sights on him. As I see it, Andrew's time's up."

Irene snapped, "You little brat, when adults are talking, you'd better keep your mouth shut! Don't think I don't know what's on your mind. You're always thinking about using Christie to live in luxury, hang out with celebrities, and drive a sports car!

"But have you ever thought about it? You're a man. How can you be so pathetic? Andrew made his fortune, and now he's on top of the world. What about you? You're still a useless waste!"

Leroy turned red with anger. "After all that's happened, you're really going to tell me I'm the problem? Mom, don't forget, it was you who looked down on Andrew in the beginning and didn't want him with Christie!

"You missed out on so many good things Andrew had to offer. Like that insanely expensive diamond ring and now all his wealth!"

Irene was furious, the regret eating her up inside. Her heart ached with regret, but she would never admit it. She did not expect Leroy, her own son, to call her out like this.
