Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 +25 BONUS Francesca exploded with anger .

Juan , what did Andrew ever do to you ? Besides hiding behind your fathers reputation , bullying seems the only thing youre good at ! Juan flashed a smug grin .

I just cant stand that guy .

What makes him so special that all the girls fawn over him ? What does he have that I dont ? Lauren let out a cold laugh .

Youre not even in the same league as him ! Everyones talking about how Ms.

Rhodes has fallen for some pretty boy .

I didnt believe it at first , but now its pretty obvious .

Given how head over heels you are , you mustve done everything in the books with him .

Juan spoke as he looked Lauren up and down with a shameless grin .

While he would not dare mess with the Rhodes family , he figured he could easily handle some guy who was just living off others .

Laurens face flushed with anger and shame at his crude remarks .

Before she could react , Andrew stepped forward .

Ms.

Rhodes , let me handle this .

Francesca quickly warned , Andrew , dont be reckless ! His father is one of Jayrodales crime lords .

Even the most powerful families are wary of Tonys influence ! Juan boasted , You hear that ? Since you cant touch me , get on your knees and beg .

Andrew calmly asked , How does East Side Tonys power compare to South Citys Dylan ? The four crime lords of Jayrodale are roughly equal in strength , Lauren explained , wondering why Andrew would ask such a question .

Andrew walked toward Juan .

Your biggest mistake was disrespecting Ms.

Rhodes , so … Juan crossed his arms mockingly .

This threat had always worked for Juan .

Even the elite of Jayrodale , like Harvey , would not dare touch him .

After all , he was Tonys only son and no one would dare try anything against him .

Nonetheless , Andrew was not Harvey , and he was happy to accept Juans invitation .

Dont worry .

I wont leave a scratch on you … Ill just leave you half dead ! With lightning speed, Andrews knee shot up and slammed into Juans face .
