Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 953

Leroy's face twisted in anger. "Francesca, who do you think you are? You don't like Christie? You think she cares whether you do or not?"

Francesca smirked. "The Stevens family sure gets riled up easily. If you've got the guts, just stay away from Andrew for good—I'd be impressed!"

Leroy stiffened and turned to Christina in frustration. "Christie, did you hear that? They don't want us here!"

He huffed. "It's ridiculous. Whatever, we're leaving. The Stevens family has better options now anyway—we don't need this lousy place!"

Christina ignored her noisy little brother and kept her gaze on Andrew. "Andrew, I came here to discuss something with you. Step outside with me for a moment."

Andrew's expression remained indifferent. "Sorry, I'm busy. If you have something urgent, you can either wait or leave."

Christina clenched her teeth. "Andrew"

She knew Andrew was doing this on purpose, deliberately making her wait and giving her the cold shoulder. A real man would not be so petty about the past.

Christina sneered to herself. 'Fine, Andrew, enjoy being on top while you can. One day, our roles will be reversed!'

Irene, however, had completely dropped her arrogant attitude and now put on a flattering smile. "No worries, we'll just sit and wait. Go ahead with what you're doing, don't mind us!"

Leroy scoffed. "Mom, there's no need to lower yourself like this! If Andrew doesn't appreciate it, we can always go with Mr. Wright instead. It's not like we'll never have a better opportunity. Who knows? Our turn might come soon enough."

At that moment, Shiloh and Cedric walked into the front hall. Andrew had no interest in wasting his breath on the Stevens family, so he turned to them with a smile. "It's payday. Have a seat!"

Shiloh's eyes lit up. She did not say anything, but the way she quickly sat down made it obvious she was looking forward to it.

Cedric chuckled and waved a hand. "I won't be taking a paycheck. The Aickers have already made a fortune from the profit shares on those two miracle medicines."
