Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966

Harvey shook his head and said, “Sorry, Mr. Wright, I appreciate the offer, but the Weller family truly can’t help you. I can only express my regrets.”

Quinton clenched his jaw and snapped, “So you’re admitting you’re just as spineless as the others? No different from that bunch of cowards who just walked out?”

Harvey’s face darkened–he had not expected Quinton to speak so bluntly and with such blatant disrespect.

Harvey said coldly, “Heh, coward or not, call me whatever you want. But the Weller family is staying out of this. Because I have no interest in throwing myself into a pit I can’t climb out of.”

It was a direct declaration, and Harvey clearly was not holding back anymore. He had already learned his lesson the hard way from crossing Andrew–he had paid for it, suffered for it, and was not about to make the same mistake again.

Unless he had the power and a surefire win, Harvey was not going to make a single move.

Quinton turned to glance at Christina, but she looked away. His face twitched, and then he turned his eyes to Shawn

Meanwhile, Shawn, looking like death warmed over, simply raised his bandaged hand and shrugged, clearly saying he was in no shape to fight anyone.

“Useless. Every damn one of you is useless,” Quinton cursed under his breath. “Jayrodale’s nothing but a city full of cowards, losers, and paper tigers…”

He was boiling on the inside. He had gathered all these people and put on a show of power and wealth, yet not one of them had stood up to back him.

It was a total flop–a grand meeting that ended in complete embarrassment.

Just thinking about it made Quinton want to punch through the wall.

Christina offered gently, “Mr. Wright, if you ask me, there’s really no need to butt heads with Andrew here in Jayrodale. This is his territory, while your home turf is Blumedale. Someone of your status shouldn’t waste your time on someone like him.”

Quinton let out a cold snort. “So what if Andrew is running wild in Jayrodale? He’s still a nobody. If this were Blumedale, I’d crush him in a heartbeat. The only reason I’m still dealing with this mess is because he’s got something I absolutely must have.”
