Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 459 Rodneys smile turned cold .

So , you ladies aren here to pay respect , but to collect a debt ? If thats how you want to see it , Aspen replied , finally turning to face him .

Christina said diplomatically , Mr.

Sanford , we had a billion dollar deal with the Northern District .

When Atlas met his unfortunate end , that money vanished .

Since Dean is now with your academy , were hoping you can help us recover our investment .

She explained the situation with a composed and respectful tone , assuming Rodney would act reasonably now that the facts were clear .

However , Rodney looked at her contemptuously and sneered , They call you the Ice Queen CEO of Jayrodale , supposedly brilliant and beautiful .

But I see youre just a pretty face without any real substance .

Christinas face flushed with anger .

Mr.

Sanford , what exactly are you implying ? Rodney laughed coldly .

You marched in here with this mob demanding money .

Do you really think the Madblade Martial Academy is some common establishment where anyone can walk in and make demands ? Christinas expression darkened .

She had known this place would be trouble but had not expected Rodneys attitude to be so openly hostile and crude .

Mr.

Sanford , you should be more careful with your words , Aspen warned coldly .

Rodney turned his gaze toward her with a predatory smile .

Unlike those insignificant players .

out there , Im the heir of Madblade Martial Academy .

I can say and do whatever I please in my domain .

He leaned back , his smirk growing wider as his voice dripped with arrogance .

I can eat what I want , say what I want , and , most importantly , lick what I want .

He chuckled darkly .

If you ladies want your billion dollars back , its simple just put on some stockings and spend a night with me .

Do that , and Ill return every penny , no questions asked .

Rodneys laughter echoed through the hall , crude and shameless , like a dog in heat .

His crew , emboldened by his behavior , joined in with vile cheers .

Mr.

Sanford is the man ! Two beauties at once , hes surely living the dream ! Tonights your big night , Mr.

Sanford ! You get to explore two women at once .

It doesnt get better than this ! Theyre both stunning beauties ! Mr.

Sanford , dont forget to leave us some scraps after youre done ! The crude laughter filled the room , leaving Aspen and Christina with anger and shame .

+25 BONUS Christina clenched her fists , her pride stung deeply .

She despised anyone making jokes about her looks or body , but this was not her company or her territory it was Rodneys turf , and Madblade Martial Academy was not a place the Stevens family could afford to cross lightly .

Aspens voice turned colder than ice as she snapped , Rodney , your filthy behavior is a disgrace to Madblade Martial Academy .

Youre tarnishing your own reputation and dishonoring your martial heritage .
