Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Francesca finally snapped out of her shock from witnessing Juans brutal defeat, her face filled with fear

She stuttered, Y You actually beat up Juan so mercilessly? Do you have any idea what- Andrew cut her off with a bored expression

Youre going to say Im in big trouble, right? Isnt that obvious? Francesca exploded.

Dont you know who Juans father is- Andrew interrupted again, Of course I know.

He just told us his dad is some East Side Tony, supposedly a big deal or whatever.

Then why would you attack him? Francesca demanded.

Andrews face darkened

He was spouting filthy insults and harassing Ms.

Rhodes

Should 1 have applauded him instead? Besides, Ive dealt with Dylans people before, so whats one more from East Side ? Francesca turned to Lauren in desperation.

Lauren, this is serious trouble

This could bring Tony himself into it! This is just a little scuffle between us young folks.

If Tony gets involved, I wont let Dr.

Lloyd face this alone.

The Rhodes, family isnt afraid of Tony.

Francesca was fuming.

Lauren, what are you thinking? Is this loser really worth all this trouble? Of course! Lauren replied matter of factly.

Dr.

Lloyd stood up for me.

Good men like him are rare these days.

Francescas heart sank, realizing her friend was in too deep

She could not understand why Lauren would risk pitting the Rhodes family against Tony for some nobody

Suddenly, thunderous footsteps echoed as hundreds of thugs stormed in.

Francescas face went pale as she mumbled, Thats Rocco Larsen, Tonys second in command. This is bad

Lauren seemed equally troubled.

She had not expected Juans men to show up so fast.

Rocco, this piece of trash beat me up! Juan screamed, pointing at Andrew through hist bruised, swollen face

Break his limbs and hand him over so I can finish him off.

III make him wish he were dead! Rocco, a scary figure with a thick beard, glared at Andrew.

Youve got some nerves touching Mr.

Madden.

Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.

That way, maybe Mr.noveldrama

Madden might let you keep your corpse in one piece.

Lauren yelled, Back off! East Side is getting too bold.

Nobodys touching him.

Roccos face remained blank.

Ms.

Rhodes, actions have consequences.

Your pretty boy beat up Mr.

Madden.

Did you think this would end well? Chapter 78 Juan started this with his vulgar comments, Francesca argued.

Andrew wouldnt have hit him otherwise.

Mr.

Madden couldve killed this nobody, and it wouldnt have mattered, Rocco mocked.

Francesca was furious

Youre ridiculous! Say what you like, but all I know is Mr.

Madden Senior is furious after knowing Mr.

Madden got beaten up.

When hes angry, people suffer and boy, did you pick the wrong person to mess with.
