Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Faced with the questioning and angry glares from his three ladies, Andrew maintained his innocent expression as he firmly denied it.

"Lauren, Fran, Aspen, don't believe this guy. He's just jealous of me and trying to slander me!"

Hank sneered. "Andrew, you and Chantelle said you were checking into a hotel right in front of me. Now you want to deny it?"

Andrew's expression remained calm. He used the oldest skill in a seasoned man's playbook-deny till the end.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Hank. If you want to frame me, at least

come up with a better story! Lauren, do you trust him or me?"

Lauren did not hesitate. "We trust you! But that doesn't mean it's entirely impossible either."noveldrama

Francesca scoffed. "Honey, if you really got involved with Ms. Garcia, just say it. We won't blame you."

Aspen nodded quickly. "Exactly. Ms. Garcia's actually not bad at all. We'd gladly welcome her to the team."

Hank almost exploded from jealousy.

Where on earth could a man find three wives so understanding, so supportive?

If Hank could have even one woman like that in his life, he would happily shave ten years off his lifespan.

"Listen, ladies, don't buy into his lies. He's nothing but a beast in disguise. Think about me instead! Compared to Andrew, I beat him in every way. If any of you loved me, I'd give you my heart, my soul, I'd walk through fire for you!"

He looked ready to swear an oath on the spot.

Andrew rolled his eyes. "Hank, do us a favor and get lost. Didn't you just hook up with Hannah? And now, only a few days later, you're here trying to flirt with others? Just wait until she finds out you're nothing but a two-faced player. Let's see if she still sticks around."

Aspen's brows lifted. "Wait... Freya's little sister, Hannah? She's with him?"

Andrew had not planned on exposing that yet because he wanted to give Hannah some space to come to her senses. But now, he had no intention of holding back.

Hank was trash, a classic playboy. Someone needed to sound the alarm before it was too late.

Hank's face turned beet red. He pointed at Andrew, fuming. "You nosy bastard, stay out of my business! We're not done here!"

The truth was, he had been sneaking around behind Hannah's back, hoping she would not find out. She

.n

was madly in love with him, head

over heels to the point of obsession.

Yet, after just two days, he already felt bored. Sure, she was beautiful and came from a top-tier family. However, she was way too clingy.

And guys like Hank? They thrived on novelty and hated anything that tried to pin them down.

"Honey, is it true that Hannah is with this guy?" Aspen asked seriously. Andrew snorted. "Yeah, it's true. I warned her, but she wouldn't listen."

Francesca frowned. "The Kellers and you are close. We should really let them know what's going on. Hankis a walking red flag. You could see it just now from how he acted.e Hannah's gonna get hurt if she stays with him. Worse, she'll drag the Keller family's name through the mud."

Aspen nodded. "I'll let Freya know right away."

Honestly, Andrew did not want to get too involved. He thought maybe Hannah

needed to hit rock bottom to learn her lesson.

If it were not for George keeping things together behind the scenes, those three Keller sisters would have been picked apart long ago, and they definitely would not be living as comfortably as they were now.

Just then, a buzz stirred downstairs in the bar. Almost everyone stopped what

they were doing and turned toward the main entrance.

Naturally, Andrew and his group looked over as well. When he saw who walked in, he simply smirked and turned away.

Lauren smiled. "Ms. Phelan is Gabo Creek's number one darling. She really knows how to make an entrance."

Francesca nodded in agreement. "She definitely has that star quality."

Andrew said bluntly, "In my opinion, she's nothing special."

Lauren blinked in surprise. "Honey, you really don't seem to like her, huh?"
