Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 440 Rodneys words made the skilled fighters behind him burst into raucous laughter .

The students stopped their practice to stare at Lauren with strange expressions .

Rodney , I told you years ago that I wasnt interested in you , Lauren said calmly , showing no sign of anger .

Your persistent pursuit might be romantic to some , but even if you offered me the entire Madblade Martial Academy , I wouldnt give you a second glance .

Rodneys face darkened immediately .

He had tried to embarrass Lauren , but her sharp tongue had turned the tables on him instead .

A hulking man beside Rodney sneered , Ms.

Rhodes , if youre going to reject Mr.

Sanford , why are you even here ? For our money , Lauren replied curtly .

Dean scoffed .

Atlas owed Rhodes Corporation money , not me .

If hell .

I want it , go ask him in Lauren smirked .

Atlas may be dead , but not all Northern Districts people are gone .

I know you cleaned out Atlass accounts .

Dean , are you really going to pretend you dont owe us ? Dean laughed arrogantly , glancing at Rodney for approval before continuing .

Youre right , Lauren .

I do have all of Northern Districts money now .

But why should I give it to you ? Whe have you ever heard of someone from the underground voluntarily paying their debts ? Go home , Lauren .

That 60 million from Rhodes Corporation ? Sorry , but youre not getting it back .

Think carefully , Lauren warned icily .

Youre just a stray .

Who are you to steal from Rhodes Corporation ? Dean retorted , Before , I wouldnt have dared take money from the Rhodes family .

But Im no stray anymore Im Mr.

Sanfords man now .

You might look down on me , but do you dare disrespect Mr.

Sanford ? Laurens expression changed slightly .

Dean was cunning , deliberately shifting the conflict toward Madblade Martial Academy .

However , she was not one to be intimidated so easily .

Jerry , she commanded sharply , since this dog wont behave , teach him a lesson ! Jerry stepped forward with a blank expression .

Dean , do as Ms.

Rhodes says , or Ill beat you to a pulp .

Jerry , dont try that intimidation routine with me , Dean snarled .

Were both martial artists , but youre the real dog here a spineless guard dog for the wealthy elite .

Who do you think you are to lecture me ? Jerrys face turned sinister .

Since youre asking for death , Ill grant your wish .

I was going to let you live , but now Ill send you to join Atlas !
