Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 765 Michael's face was swollen from the blows, but he still snarled, "Donald, just you wait! Mrs.

Rhodes is still in the buildingonce she steps in, let's see who the hell dares to touch me!" Andrew strolled over, chuckling.

"Michael, it's only been half a day, and you've already switched careers?" Michael gritted his teeth the moment he saw Andrew.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you mocking me?" Andrew shook his head.

"Mock you? No wayI admire you! Not everyone can go from being Rhodes Corporation's vice CEO to a convicted felon in less than 24 hours.

That takes real talent!" Michael's expression twisted in fury.

"Andrew, don't get cocky! With my influence and connections, even if I get locked up, I won't stay in there for long!" Andrew smirked.

"Wow, listen to yourselfso impressive! So what, that means you can commit arson and still walk free? The law doesn't apply to you?" Michael sneered.

"You're damn right it doesn't.

That's what power is that's what a family name, a legacy, and true influence mean.

You, on the other hand, are just some street rat who clawed his way up.

You'll never understand what it's like to be born untouchable." Andrew tured to Donald with a grin.

"Mr.

Warren, you heard that, right? He just admitted to everything.

Full confessionno coercion needed!" He added, "Sounds to me like you can skip all the unnecessary formalities and send this arsonist straight to trial.

No need to waste time! ---- Donald let out a chuckle.

"Mr.

Lloyd, you really are a genius.

This guy was just swearing up and down that he was innocent and that all the evidence was fake.

But the moment you show up, he just hands us a confession on a silver platter.

Mr.

Lloyd, you're a crime-fighting legend!" Michael finally realized he had walked straight into Andrew's trap.

Fuming, he cursed at Andrew, "Andrew, you son of a bitch.

Did you just bait me into confessing?!" The officers holding him nearly lost their grip as Michael thrashed violently.

His eyes were bloodshot as he lunged at Andrew, roaring, "If I'm going down, I swear I'll take you with me!" Andrew slapped him so hard that Michael flew backward, crashing onto the floor.

"You're already screwed, yet you still have the nerve to threaten me?" Andrew dusted off his hands.

"You sure don't know your place." Michael scrambled to his feet, his face burning with humiliation.

He turned to Donald and barked, "Mr.

Warren, he just assaulted me! I'm still a citizen with rightsI demand you arrest him immediately!" Michael scrambled to his feet, his face burning with humiliation.

He turned to Donald and barked, "Mr.

Warren, he just assaulted me! I'm still a citizen with rightsI demand you arrest him immediately!" Donald blinked, looking completely clueless.

"Mr.

Lloyd hit you? Huh? I didn't see anything." The other officers shook their heads and chimed in, "Yeah, I didn't see anything either!" "Must've been your imagination, Mr.

Rhodes!" ---- Another said, "Mr.

Lloyd is a respected friend of the departmentthere's no way he'd resort to violence!" Michael's expression twisted into utter disbelief.

His mouth opened and closed as if he was trying to process what had just happened.

He mumbled, "Y-You..." He had just taken a full-force slap, his lip was split, and his entire face was throbbing in pain.

Yet, these bastards were all acting like it never happened.

This was not just a lieit was blatant gaslighting! At that moment, Tiana emerged from the building, flanked by Jerry and her security team.

Lauren's eyes widened, and she rushed forward.

"Mom, are you okay?" Tiana looked at her daughter with a rare warmth in her eyes.

She smiled.

"At least, ina moment like this, you still remember to care about me." Lauren opened her mouth but hesitated, her expression dimming slightly.
