Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 76 Francesca exploded with anger

Juan, what did Andrew ever do to you? Besides hiding behind your fathers reputation, bullying seems the only thing youre good at! Juan flashed a smug grin.

I just cant stand that guy.

What makes him so special that all the girls fawn over him? What does he have that I dont ? Lauren let out a cold laugh.

Youre not even in the same league as him! Everyones talking about how Ms.

Rhodes has fallen for some pretty boy.noveldrama

I didnt believe it at first, but now its pretty obvious.

Given how head over heels you are, you mustve done everything in the books with him.

Juan spoke as he looked Lauren up and down with a shameless grin.

While he would not dare mess with the Rhodes family, he figured he could easily handle some guy who was just living off others.

Laurens face flushed with anger and shame at his crude remarks.

Before she could react, Andrew stepped forward

Ms.

Rhodes, let me handle this.

Francesca quickly warned, Andrew, dont be reckless! His father is one of Jayrodales crime lords. Even the most powerful families are wary of Tonys influence! Juan boasted, You hear that? Since you cant touch me, get on your knees and beg

Andrew calmly asked, How does East Side Tonys power compare to South Citys Dylan? The four crime lords of Jayrodale are roughly equal in strength, Lauren explained, wondering why Andrew would ask such a question.

Andrew walked toward Juan.

Your biggest mistake was disrespecting Ms.

Rhodes, so... Juan crossed his arms mockingly

So, what are you going to do about it? Hit me ? Come on, my heads right here! Go ahead, you coward ! He leaned his head forward provocatively, daring Andrew to make a move, fully confident that he would not.

Meanwhile, the onlooking gang members snickered, certain that Andrew was about to get destroyed by Juan.

They thought it was unfair that none of Jayrodales socialites ever spared Juan a smile, yet Andrew was getting all the attention despite being known as a freeloader.

Francesca pleaded, Lauren, you should stop Andrew from doing something stupid.

Juan may be scum, but hes Tonys only son.

Even someone like Harvey has to put up with this jerk.

Andrew cant win this fight! Lauren smiled confidently.

I couldnt stop Dr.

Lloyd even if I wanted to.

Fran, stop worrying

Hes far more capable than you can imagine! 1/2 Chapter 76 Come on, pretty boy! Hit me ! But if you lay a finger on me, you and your family are all toast! Juan taunted.

This threat had always worked for Juan.

Even the elite of Jayrodale, like Harvey, would not dare touch him

After all, he was Tonys only son and no one would dare try anything against him.

Nonetheless, Andrew was not Harvey, and he was happy to accept Juans invitation.

Dont worry.

I wont leave a scratch on you ... III just leave you half dead! With lightning speed, Andrews knee shot up and slammed into Juans face.
