Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 179 +26 BONUS Andrew shook his head .

Theres no need for such formalities between us , Ms.

Rhodes .

Lauren felt warmth in her heart at his words but still huffed , Well , at least you have some conscience .

I thought youd forgotten all about me now that youre rekindling things with Ms.

Stevens ! Andrew gave a wry smile , wisely choosing not to explain .

After all , some things would only get worse with explanation .

Later , they made their way out of the forest and found the Rhodes family security team .

Miss , thank goodness youre safe ! they exclaimed upon seeing Lauren .

What happened to those thugs who ambushed us ? Lauren asked .

Mr.

Keoghan arrived and drove them all away , Eunice replied angrily .

He even killed a few of them .

Jerry came ? Where is he ? Lauren asked excitedly .

Just then , a muscular middle aged man strode toward them with purposeful steps .

Miss , wheres Tracia ? I dont see her , he asked .

Tracia is dead , Lauren replied coldly .

Jerry Keoghan , the Rhodes familys top fighter , exclaimed in shock , What ? Tracias dead ? Who killed her ? Ill avenge her death ! His eyes swept over Andrew with obvious hostility .

Tracia deserved to die she tried to hand me over to the kidnappers , Lauren said with disgust .

Thankfully , Andrew arrived in time to save me .

So , this pretty boy who looks like he couldnt hurt a fly killed Tracia ? Jerry asked coldly .

Lauren scowled .

Jerry , show some respect to him .

He saved my life , and I already told you- Tracia deserved her fate for betraying the Rhodes family .

Impossible ! Tracia would never betray , the Rhodes ! Jerry shouted in anger , grabbing at Andrew .

You must be a spy who tricked Ms.

Rhodes and killed Tracia .

Ill kill you ! Andrew stepped back, his eyes flashing dangerously .

Stop it , Jerry ! Lauren commanded , stepping between them .

As a member of the Rhodes family , I order you to stand down ! Jerry reluctantly backed off but barked at Andrew , Watch your back , boy .

Tracia was like a sister to me .

We trained together and served the Rhodes family together .

I wont let you get away with killing her .

Dont take it personally , Andrew , Lauren sighed as Jerry stormed off .

He may be hot- Chapter 179 headed and unreasonable , but he and Tracia were indeed very close .

maupuy , pool I understand the brotherhood between martial artists can be stronger than replied with a cold smile .

But its interesting that he refuses to believe you about Tracias betrayal and attempted harm .

You think Jerry might have been in on it with Tracia ? Lauren asked in alarm .

Andrew shook his head .

I dont know if they were working together .

But his narrow minded nature and the killing intent in his eyes suggest hes not to be trusted .

Jerry is even stronger than Tracia , Lauren explained .

He does have a habit of looking down on others , flaunting his talents like hes above everyone else .

But my father respects his skills and usually turns a blind eye to his domineering behavior .

Andrew shook his head again , his tone dismissive .

At best , hes a peak level hidden force martial artist .

People like him wouldnt even qualify as cannon fodder in certain places .
