Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337 Aspens face darkened , and she could not help but step in .

Andrew , let it go .

Think about it- Mr.

Kelce is someone of his age and stature , and youre … well , youre not .

Forcing him to kneel is just risking your own life .

Andrews tone was calm as he replied , Im not worried .

Im built tough : Id gladly accept it if he kneels and begs before me .

Aspen clenched her fists in anger and retorted , Andrew , do you realize what youre risking ? Mr.

Kelce commands the loyalty of thousands in Bridgefields .

Not only is he respected in the antique community there , but he also has powerful connections in martial arts circles .

Are you ready for the retaliation thats bound to come your way if you force him to kneel today ? Andrew let out a cold laugh .

Aspen , I see what youre trying to do .

Youre just trying to get him off the hook .

And youre threatening me with Bridgefields big shots and antique tycoons ? Whether Im afraid or not is one thing , but do you think these Jayrodale folks here will let you run your mouth unchecked ? Elsie was the first to speak up , her voice icy .

Ms Stevens , as a guest from Bridgefields , youre welcome at todays antique appraisal event .

But if youre not going to act like a guest and instead try to take over , then Radiant Group wont hesitate to put you in your place .

The Jayrodale antique experts quickly chimed in , their tones sharp and unyielding .

Ms.

Stevens , this is Jayrodale , not Bridgefields .

Who do you think you are , threatening Mr.

Lloyd ? Exactly .

Is the Stevens family from Bridgefields really all that ? One more disrespectful word to Mr.

Lloyd , and well see if you can walk out of here .

Remember , youre in Jayrodale now .

Swallowing his pride , he finally croaked , You win … I was wrong ! His voice was shaky with suppressed rage as he bowed his head to Andrew , his fists clenched tight with humiliation .

Finally , he dropped to his knees and admitted his loss .

The crowd erupted in laughter , their jeers filling the air .

Orion Kelce , the once untouchable figure from Bridgefields , had been utterly humiliated .

His name , once feared and respected , was now a laughingstock .

Andrew raised his hand and said mockingly , Good , you can get up now .

But remember this next time youre out in the world , dont act so high and mighty .

Otherwise , I might have to teach you another lesson .

Francesca burst into laughter , unable to hold it in Andrew , youre so bad ! Oh , this is too good !
