Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1233

Andrew did not expect Quinton to know about the treasure.

There was no doubt—what Quinton was after had to be the same treasure that Ronan's family had been guarding for generations. And now that Quinton had his sights set on the Rhodes family, it could only mean one thing: he was targeting the fragmented treasure map in their possession.

Clearly, it was time to give Tiana and Jameson a heads-up.

As Andrew thought it through, he suddenly called out, "Ms. Wright, wait a second!"

Yara stopped and turned back around. "Mr. Lloyd, is there something else?"

Andrew pointed at the stack in her hand and gave a sly smile. "Nothing big—just figured you should leave a token of your sincerity behind."

The relaxed look on Yara's face instantly vanished, replaced with one of irritation. She silently cursed at him for being a pervert.

With a loud smack, she dropped a few risque photos onto the table for him.

That was the foundation of their partnership—Andrew needed leverage over her to feel secure working together.

Aspen scoffed, "Happy now? Take those home and jerk off to them every night."

Andrew shook his head and replied seriously, "No need for that. If I wanted action, I'd go for the real thing. Why would I use my hand when I've got a sexy secretary sleeping just one room over?"

That did it. Aspen had taken enough—now she was downright furious. "Andrew, you are disgusting!"

…

As Yara left the Supreme Capital Group building, her eyes turned icy cold. "Quinton, you pushed me into this. You deserve to die. I might be unable to take you down, but Andrew definitely can."

She pulled back her sleeve, revealing pale skin lined with red welts. All of them were marks from her darling brother, Quinton—proof of the abuse she had endured.
