Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 736 Andrew let out a dry chuckle.

"Forgiveness? Mrs.

Rhodes, I think you're mistaken.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why would I need your forgiveness?" Tiana's eyes burned with fury as she pointed at Howard's battered face.

" You didn't do anything wrong? Look at him! Do you see what you did? Andrew, don't think that just because Marvin backs you, you can run wild on Rhodes Corporation's turf!" Andrew frowned.

"So what you're saying, Mrs.

Rhodes, is that I wasn't allowed to hit Howard? Why? Because he's your nephew? Because the Lambert family is untouchable?" Lauren felt a pang of anxietyAndrew was being far too aggressive with Tiana.

Howard was not just another employee; he was part of the Lambert family.

At a time like this, it would be better to give Tiana some leeway to de-escalate things.

She whispered, "Dr.

Lloyd, that's enough." Andrew simply scoffed and glanced at the other lackeys he had beaten down.

His voice was laced with disdain.

"Listen upall of you.

If you screw up, you pay for it.

If you get hit, you stand up straight and take it like aman.

This time, I only slapped you to teach you a lesson.

But if I ever catch you throwing your weight around again, you'll regret ever being born." Michael's temper snapped.

"Andrew, you're still not admitting fault? You don't feel even a little remorse? And now, you're even making threats?" Andrew shot him a cold look.

"Why would I admit fault when I've done nothing wrong?" Michael's face twisted with rage.

"You beat them up! Howis that not ---- wrong?" Andrew let out a low chuckle.

"Did you ever bother to ask why I beat them up?" Michael's voice was dripping with arrogance.

"I don't care what your reason is.

You hit someonethat's wrong.

And to make it worse, you didn't just hit anyone; you hit Aunt Tiana's nephewyou hit my people.

So Ihave every reason to believe you were just taking personal revenge!" Andrew's tone remained indifferent.

"If I wanted to vent my anger, I wouldn't have wasted my time on these clowns." His gaze landed on Michael, and his lips curled into a smirk.

"I would've gone straight for the biggest idiot in the roomyou." Those words angered Michael.

His teeth clenched so hard it looked like he was ready to breathe fire, his glare filled with pure hatred.

Tiana's eyes narrowed dangerously, a chilling glint flashing in them." Andrew, do you really think I won't take action against you?" Andrew simply shrugged.

"Mrs.

Rhodes, if you want to come after me, I wouldn't stand a chance.

But what I don't understand is thisjust because Howard is your nephew, does that mean he gets a free pass? Because he's a Lambert, does that mean he can do whatever he wants?" Tiana's expression stiffened.

"You" Andrew completely ignored the fury rising in her face.

His voice was sharp.

"Before you try to punish me, Mrs.

Rhodes, maybe you should ask Mr.

Chapman and the others what these idiots actually said.

"TI just don't get it.

These guys are just middle managers, making what 20, maybe 30 grand a month? And yet, they think they're untouchable? They have the nerve to look down on me, a board member?" ---- Andrew turned to Howard, casually fixing his crooked suspenders before giving his cheek a light pat.

"Funny, isn't it? We live in a capitalist world.

Since when did corporate employees start looking down on the ones actually funding their paychecks? Tell me, isn't the very thing you people fear the most precisely men like me?" Howard flinched, his entire body trembling, but he kept his mouth shut.

Michael had finally reached his breaking point.

"Mrs.

Rhodes, look at him! Do you see how arrogant he's become? He acts like throwing five billion into this company makes him some kind of god!" Andrew smirked and let out a slow, mocking laugh.

"Sorry to break it to you, but having money really does mean I can do whatever the hell I want.
