Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2548 Melvin frowned. "Mr. Orben, why are you acting out as well? The Webster family is a respected household, so | suggest you take back what you just said." Theon straightened his posture and said seriously, "Mr. Webster, | wasn't joking. | truly wish to marry Ms. Webster, and you should know that I'm more than qualified for it." Melvin gave a short, cold laugh. "You may be qualified, but my sister already has feelings for Amari. I'm afraid there's nothing | can do to help you." Still refusing to give up, Theon frowned. "Mr.

Webster, in most cases, a lady's marriage is decided by her family. Shouldn't it be up to you and Mrs. Webster Senior to decide who Ms. Webster marries?" Melvin replied calmly, "Exactly. And I've already decided that she will marry Amari." Helda smiled and added, "I couldn't be happier to see my children blessed with this kind of fate. | fully support it; it's a joyful match for everyone." Theon stomped his foot. "Hold on! Mr. Webster, Mrs. Webster Senior, don't you think I'm ten times... no, a hundred times better ---- than Amari? If Ms.

Webster marries me, itll only bring more benefits to the Webster family." Melvin shook his head. "Theon, you still don't understand the situation. Mr. Lloyd has already made things clear, and the Webster family will follow his direction." Andrew raised his voice. "That's right! Theon, whatever tricks you're thinking of pulling, I'll be here to handle them. But if you're trying to compete with Amari for love, you're way out of your league." Theon snapped. "Andrew, you're shameless! You only act this arrogantly because no one dares to rein you in.

But sooner or later, someone in Chetvine will take you down." Andrew sneered. "Really? Then do you believe | can take you down today?" Theon's anger boiled over. "What? You're actually threatening to fight me?" Andrew narrowed his eyes, his voice dropping low. "Yes, | am. What, you think | wouldn't dare? Or maybe you think I'm not capable? Theon, when it comes to alchemy, you've already lost to me. And if we're talking combat, you're not even fit to polish my boots." Theor's face turned red with rage, his chest heaving violently.

"Y- ---- Y-You..." Before he could finish, he suddenly tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled, and he collapsed on the spot, completely unconscious. "Someone help him!" Mikayla and the others panicked and rushed forward, creating instant chaos. Melvin sighed and ordered his men to carry Theon away to be checked, to make sure he was still breathing. Helda looked at Andrew helplessly. "Andrew, you little troublemaker. I've heard of your reputation, but seeing you today, | finally understand that you really are a menace." Andrew laughed heartily. "Mrs.

Webster Senior, you flatter me. I've already held back quite a bit." Helda chuckled in disbelief. "If this is you holding back, then | can only imagine what you're like when you're not. You'd probably blow the roof off this place." Andrew quickly smiled and played humble, earning a few more laughs. By then, the tension had faded, and the atmosphere turned cheerful again. Taking the opportunity, Andrew brought up the Webster family's annual potion order.

---- Madeline turned to him and said gently, "I was already planning for the Webster family to partner with the Medicine God's Covenant for this year's order." Andrew's eyes widened in pleasant surprise, then he smiled. "So you've already thought ahead for me. In that case, | won't say more. Thank you." Madeline stood and bowed slightly. "No, | should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, Amari and | wouldn't have ended up together." Amari grinned sheepishly. "That's right. We really owe you big time." Andrew ignored him, though. He just felt a strange sense of discomfort inside.

Madeline was old enough to be his grandmother, yet she was very respectful. It was hard to get used to. Even though she did not look elderly, her actual age spoke for itself, and there was no denying it. Later, the Webster family invited Andrew and Amari to stay for dinner. Amari was glowing with happiness throughout the meal, laughing and drinking more than he should. ---- Andrew, on the other hand, declined every drink, saying he had to drive, which left Melvin a little disappointed. He had been hoping to loosen Andrew up and get him talking about his organization.

When dinner ended, Andrew planned to leave first and let Amari stay a bit longer. However, Madeline stepped out from the crowd and whispered, * Andrew, come with me for a moment. | might have something you need." 2 Andrew's instincts kicked in immediately. His heart stirred, and without hesitation, he followed Madeline. 2
