Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 458 as Dean explained , In all my years in Gabo Creek , Ive never seen anyone as extraordinary as Andrew .

Whats even more terrifying is that he clearly wasnt using his full strength against Mr.

Lincoln .

Watching his spine chilling moves , I cant help but wonder if he might have had something to do with Atlas death .

Before Dean could continue , Rodney cut him off with an angry roar , Shut up ! No wonder youre a lost dog youre completely useless , building up others while tearing down our own reputation ! Depending on Rodneys hospitality , Dean could not protest the insults , but a venomous glint flashed in his eyes .

Rodney seethed .

Ive never been humiliated like this in my life .

And its obvious Lauren has a thing for Andrew .

Ive pursued her for years without getting so much as a glance , while she probably cant wait to jump into his bed .

While Rodney stewed in anger , a student hurried in and said , Mr.

Sanford , the debt collectors .

have arrived .

Rodneys face twisted with rage .

Throw them out ! Beat them to a pulp if you have to ! Theyre just a bunch of nobodies ! The student hesitated before adding , Mr.

Sanford , there are two women leading the group , and they seem pretty formidable .

Rodney frowned .

Two women ? Who are they ? One says shes Aspen Stevens from Bridgefields , and the other is Christina Stevens , the renowned CEO from Jayrodale .

Hearing their names , Rodneys eyes lit up as he licked his lips .

Well , well , it seems fortune is on my side today .

Lets go meet these lovely ladies .

If theyre not here for anything important , maybe Ill suggest they play a little two women , one man game with me ! The crowd of his cronies erupted into lecherous laughter as they followed him out .

In the academys main hall , Aspen and Christina stood casually , ignoring the offered seats and taking in the decor .

Christina frowned and said , Aspen , Madblade Martial Academy has always operated in the gray area between legal and illegal .

Mr.

Sanford has a pretty bad reputation .

The fact that he hasnt shown up yet feels suspicious .

Do you think theyre plotting something ? Aspen continued studying the painting on the wall and smiled .

Christie , you worry too much .

Its broad daylight , and given our status , handling a brute like Rodney would be childs play , despite his reckless nature .

Chapter 438 +25 BONUS Rodney entered with his group , wearing a broad smile .

Ladies , what brings you to our humble academy ? His eyes lingered inappropriately on their striking features .

Aspen did not even glance at Rodney .

She continued admiring the painting , her tone calm but commanding .

Mr.

Sanford , Ill cut to the chase .

Im here for one reasorr only either hand over Dean or return the money you owe me .

She turned slightly , her gaze sharp as steel .

Ill say it once .

Her confidence and no nonsense attitude were palpable , leaving no room for argument or negotiation .
