Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 176 Lauren bounced in the back seat , nearly getting sick from the rough ride .

She exclaimed , Tracia , what are you doing ? We need to go back and help ! Going back would be suicide , Tracia replied grimly , keeping her foot on the gas .

As for those useless people back there , their deaths mean nothing theyre worthless anyway ! Tracia , do you even hear yourself ? Lauren shouted angrily .

As your employer , I order your to take me back right now .

For this noncompliance , Ill put in a request to the family to terminate your contract as soon as we return ! Tracia let out a cold laugh , her scarred face looking more sinister than ever .

Youre just a little girl .

Who do you think you are , trying to order me around ? What are you planning ? Laurens expression finally changed as realization dawned .

What am I planning ? Why , delivering you to my new employer , of course ! Tracia cackled .

Im sorry , Ms.

Rhodes , but while your family pays well , those who want you dead pay better .

Dont take it personally ! Laurens heart was overwhelmed with rage and panic .

Tracia , was it Michael ? Was that animal the one who ordered you to do this ? Be patient youll find out soon enough ! Tracia smirked .

Lauren frantically tried to open the door , but it was locked tight .

She was not helpless though , and her hand moved toward her purse for her gun .

Suddenly , the car screeched to a halt , nearly throwing her forward .

Miss , I suggest you stop struggling .

That toy in your purse wont work on me .

Tracia snatched the gun from Laurens hand and dragged her out of the car .

She paled as she looked around and realized they were surrounded by dense forest with no sign of anyone else .

Tracia , Ive always treated you well .

Why would you betray me like this ? Lauren asked , finding clarity in the crisis .

Tracias scarred face twitched as she scoffed .

In our world , money talks .

You and the Rhodes family treated me well , but once I hand you over , I can retire and never have to work again .

Lauren spat .

I thought people in your profession valued loyalty above all else .

How can your conscience allow this ? Tracia laughed mockingly , Youre usually such smart , capable woman .

Im surprised youd ask such a naive question , Loyalty doesnt pay the bills .

Only cold , hard cash matters ! If you show no honor , dont expect any mercy , Lauren replied coldly The Rhodes familys fighters will surely catch up with us , and you can fight them all alone .

Those worthless guards ? Ill kill them one by one if they dare show up , Tracia said D BONUS Chapter 176 disdainfully .

Laurens heart sank .

She knew Tracia could easily overpower anyone from the familys security team .

There was no way to alert the main compound to send more skilled reinforcements .

Suddenly , Andrews image flashed through her mind .

Dr.

Lloyd , when Ms.

Stevens was in trouble , you stormed East Side alone , risking everything to save her , she thought bitterly .

But what about me ? Youre probably living happily with her now , having forgotten all about me .

Lauren felt hopeless .

She stood there with tears threatening to fall , no longer caring about her safety .
