Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 24 That night , two events caused ripples in Jayrodales high society circles .

First , Dylan , the crime .

lord of South City , had stumbled for the first time since solidifying his power .

Second , Harvey had returned from abroad , ready to take control of the Weller family .

The Weller family was among the top three elite unilles in Jayrodale , far above second tier families like the Fields .

Harvey was even more renowned , once considered the leader of Jayrodales Four Scions and the most prominent young heir in the city .

The next morning , Lauren called Andrew .

Dr.

Lloyd , I heard you ran into some trouble at the Jayrodale Grand Hotel yesterday .

If you need any help , please dont hesitate to ask , she said , her voice filled with worry .

Andrew replied , Thanks for your concern , Ms.

Rhodes , but its not a big deal .

Lauren laughed .

I shouldve known something like this wouldnt faze you , Dr.

Lloyd .

I was hoping I could help and have you owe me a favor Andrew smiled .

I doubt a favor from someone like me would mean much to you , Ms.

Rhodes .

Lauren let out a playful hilff .

I beg to differ ? If it meant getting a favor from you , Dr.

Lloyd , Id do anything .

Id even strip down and wear thigh highs every day if thats what it took .

As Laurens teasing became more outrageous , Andrew quickly stopped the car .

Actually , there is something I should warn you about , Lauren continued .

Do tell , Ms.

Rhodes .

Harvey Weller has returned from abroad .

The Wellers have been ambitious lately , aiming to become the top family in Jayrodale .

Harveys engagement to the rising Stevens Corporation might be part of a plan to use your ex .

Andrews reaction was nonchalant .

What about it ? Lauren cautioned , You should be careful of Harvey , Dr.

Lloyd .

Hes skilled but not very forgiving .

Given your history with Christina , Im worried he might hold a grudge and try to retaliate .

Andrew replied calmly , Christina and I have nothing to do with each other anymore .

Lauren persisted , That may be true , but Harveys always been petty .

He might use shady tactics .

With the Weller familys resources , Im worried you might get hurt .

Andrew yawned .

I dont bother those who dont bother me .

But if he wants to push it , I wouldnt mind making the Weller family disappear from Jayrodale .

Lauren was secretly shocked .

Her words were partly a test to gauge Andrews ability , and he proved to be even more formidable than she had imagined .

+25 BONUS Chapter 24 After ending the call with Lauren , Andrew received another from an unknown number .

Hey , Andrew , come to the Oakridge Club .

Ive got the Morlic Root you wanted , Francesca said coldly .

Andrews spirits lifted immediately , and he rushed over .

While he was not interested in money when treating patients , the rare Morlic Root was something he desperately needed .

The Oakridge Club sat atop the scenic Oakridge , rumored to be owned by a true Jayrodale power player .

Only the rich and powerful of Jayrodale could enter , while ordinary folk could not even get close .

Andrew found Francesca at a booth in the club .

She was sipping red wine alone and looked up in surprise, blurting out , How did you get in here ? Andrew replied casually , I walked in .

Francesca rolled her eyes .

The Oakridge Club was members only , and ordinary people could not just waltz in .

She figured he must have connections through Lauren .

Wheres the stuff ? Andrew asked , getting straight to the point .
