Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Emily looked completely unconvinced but had nothing to say, so she just sat there sulking in silence.

Freya maintained her aloof demeanor and said coolly, "He might be very wealthy, but there are many rich people in this world. What I love is art—something ten thousand times more valuable than money! So, Andrew's money means nothing to me!"

George smirked, "Is that so? What if I told you that Andrew has two of your beloved Viktor Voss masterpieces hanging in his Serenity Villa right now? Serenity Villa itself is the perfect combination of architecture and art, and it's registered under his name! What gives you the right to act superior in front of him?"

Freya could not believe it. "The Serenity Villa at The Sovereign Residences-that perfect mansion is under Andrew's name? But Dad, wasn't Serenity Villa always owned by that Southern martial arts master Zachary Fischer?"

George snorted, "I don't know the exact details, but one thing's certain-Zachary voluntarily gave Serenity Villa to Andrew!"

Freya's mouth widened in shock. She loved houses and art and had previously approached Zachary about purchasing Serenity Villa. Unfortunately, he would not even meet with her, and even being a Keller did not get her any respect from him.noveldrama

Yet, Zachary had voluntarily given Serenity Villa to Andrew.

What kind of influence did that require?

Hannah, seeing her two sisters get shut down, felt annoyed and pouted, "Dad, no matter how great you make this Andrew sound, at most he's just a doctor who knows how to make money! Besides his stinking money, he's got nothing-how boring and unromantic!

"I like men who have money, power, and influence. Ideally, they should also have incredible martial arts skills, like Logan, or Xavier from the Haywood family! That's what I call a perfect man!"

George scoffed. "Of the three of you sisters, you're the most vain and delusional! You want money, power, influence, martial arts skills, and romance-I'm telling you, men like that are incredibly rare in this world!"

Hannah replied matter-of-factly, "Exactly because they're so rare, that's why I'm pursuing that type of man!"

George sneered. "Well, you're in luck, because Andrew is exactly the type of man you want! In terms of martial arts, Logan and Xavier are not even in the same league as him!

"In terms of power and influence, if Andrew wanted, Governor Derek could make him rise to great heights instantly! And I'm about to hand over the Gabo Creek Chamber ofľ Commerce to him-tomorrow, he'll become one of the most powerful people in all of Gabo Creek province!"

Ignoring his daughters' stunned expressions, George continued with cold mockery, "As for your ridiculous notion of romance, when Andrew gets into the mood for romance, silly girls like you wouldn't even catch his eye! You probably don't know this yet, but he already has three intimate female companions!

"I've investigated all three of these women thoroughly. While their family backgrounds don't match yours, in every other aspect that you girls love to compete over-looks, figure, and temperament-none of you three can surpass any of them."

George stood up with an air of authority. Looking at his three daughters, he said coldly, "You three girls need a reality check!"
