Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Finley sneered , his voice laced with sarcasm .

You think using some reversé psychology is going to make me play the sucker and hand over more money ? Andrew shook his head with a serious expression .

You misunderstand , Mr.

Moore .

Im not trying to provoke you .

This isnt about greed for money .

He gestured around them and added , This is Moonlit Apothecary Jayrodales most upscale medical center .

Were hosting some of the top figures in the city today .

When guests give gifts here , were talking hundreds of thousands , sometimes millions in cash or more .

Andrew glanced pointedly at the cash Finley had handed over earlier .

And yet , you come here and offer a measly 1500 bucks .

I mean , really , Mr.

Moore , how can someone of your standing think thats enough ? Finley clenched his jaw .

Thats on them if they wanna throw money around like idiots ! I wasnt even invited here , Andrew .

You cant expect me to be held to the same standard ! Andrew chuckled softly .

Oh , if thats the issue , then allow me to formally invite you now .

Finley laughed angrily , his fists tightening on the table .

Too late for that .

Even with your little invitation , Im not about to kiss your ass and hand you more cash ! Dont forget , we still have a few scores to settle .

Andrew was unfazed by the hostility , flashing a smile .

Alright , fair enough .

But whether you were invited or not , the fact is you came here , ate our food , and drank our wine , the same as the other guests .

That makes you obligated to contribute to the occasion , doesnt it ? Finleys eye twitched in frustration , wondering if Andrew was serious .

He wanted to punch Andrew , but the bastards logic actually made sense .

Finley muttered curses under his breath , realizing he had trapped himself .

He had eaten here .

If word got out that he stiffed the host after dining like a king , his reputation would take a hit .

After checking his pockets and realizing he was out of cash .

Finley sighed and turned to his men .

Empty your wallets .

Were giving him what he wants .

The Hidden Dragons men scowled but grudgingly complied .

After all , they thought the food was nothing grand , and the 1500 dollars were more than enough .

Collectively , they managed to scrape together another 5000 dollars , which Finley slammed on the table in front of Andrew .

Here 5000 dollars ! Thats more than enough now ! Andrew calmly handed the cash to Lauren .

Lauren , count it , please .

We wouldnt want to be shortehanged .

Of course ! Lauren giggled , clearly enjoying the situation as she began counting the bills .

Finleys face twitched in pure rage as he thought , Seriously ? He doesnt even trust me to hand over the full amount ? He could not believe how greedy Andrew was .

After a few moments , Lauren smiled and announced , 5328 dollars , Dr.

Lloyd ! Andrew nodded in satisfaction before turning his gaze back to Finley .

His eyes twinkled mischievously as he leaned closer .

You know , Mr.

Moore , all totaled , your contribution is just a little over 6000 dollars .

Its almost ….

insulting .

Youre not trying to short change me , are you ? Finleys face turned a deep shade of red as he glared daggers at Andrew .

He finally understood Andrew was not going to let him off without squeezing every last dime .
