Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 569 Good evening , everyone ! Welcome to the grand opening of Moonlit Apothecary , Lauren announced gracefully from the stage .

Laurens beauty was legendary in Jayrodale , and all eyes were instantly drawn to her radiant presence .

She smiled warmly and continued , Ill keep it brief thank you for coming , and I hope youll continue to support Moonlit Apothecary .

Now , lets get the feast started ! With that , cheers erupted from the crowd as the celebration reached its peak .

Over a hundred large banquet tables were packed with guests enjoying the spread of delicious food and drinks .

Laughter and conversation filled the air as people dove into the feast .

Andrew glanced at the lively scene , unsure how to respond Francesca , her dimpled smile glowing , approached and teased , So , Andrew , how did we do ? Lauren and I pulled off this banquet pretty well , right ? You did a great job , Andrew replied , grinning Thanks for saving me from spending a fortune .

Francesca puffed her chest proudly .

Exactly ! Think about it just the guys from West End and South City who cause to celebrate are over a thousand .

If we had taken them to a fancy hotel for dinner , youd be out hundreds of thousands .

Lauren soon joined them , holding the hem of her dress as she walked over and looped her arm through Andrews .

Frans right , she said playfully .

Even though youre not burting for money , Andrew , Fran and I will be your future financial advisors .

Well make sure you dont waste a dime .

Francesca blushed and waved her hand .

Oh , please ! Youre the one marrying him , not me .

Lauren raised an eyebrow and chuckled .

Really ? Then why do I feel like youve been the most involved today ? You came up with the whole banquet idea and worked harder than me ! Francescas face reddened further as she stammered , Thats because the Rhodes family is loaded , so you dont worry about these things .

But the Aickers arent that rich .

Weve learned to be more frugal .

Lauren grinned mischievously and turned to Andrew .

Hear that , Dr.

Lloyd ? Frans got great money sense .

Maybe you should marry her as your second wife so she can manage your finances .

Andrew chuckled nervously , knowing better than to engage in that conversation .

Francesca , however , glared at Lauren in embarrassment .

Lauren , stop it ! People are listening ! Lauren giggled .

Okay , okay .

Ill behave .

Lets grab some food .

Francesca clapped her hands in excitement .

Great idea ! This is my first time attending a banquet like this .

Its actually a lot of fun ! Just then , a sleek motorcade arrived , drawing everyones attention .

The convoy of over ten black luxury cars , including Mercedes and Audis , moved in smoothly and commanded the crowds curiosity .

As the car doors opened , a group of men in martial arts uniforms swiftly exited , forming an orderly line .

Each wore a headband with the words Madblade Martial Academy boldly displayed .

The bustling atmosphere quieted momentarily as people turned to observe the newcomers .

The Madblade Martial Academy was infamous for its arrogance in Jayrodale .

Even prestigious events , such as Kanes funeral and Harveys rise to power , had not been important enough for them to attend .
