Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1240

At the Wright family's place!

Yara stormed back, cornered Quinton, and smirked, "I knew it! That backstabber Christina ran to you, didn't she?"

Quinton's face darkened. "I told you to help her, not to shame her! Why'd you do it, huh?"

Yara sneered, "No reason, really. Just can't stand her, that's all."

Quinton let out an icy laugh. "You're playing with fire, messing with my people. Think I won't put you in your place?"

Yara laughed in his face. "Please, Quinton, you don't scare me anymore! I used to cower, too scared to face you. However, now? Go ahead, make your move."

Quinton's gaze turned icy as he stepped closer, his smile twisted. "Look at you, all gutsy all of a sudden! You never had the guts to stand up to me before!

"However, let's face it, you're nothing but trash from a mistress. You can't hold a candle to the Wright family bloodline that runs through my veins…"

Yara met his gaze with a frosty smile. "All you've got is your Wright family heir title to flaunt, Quinton! However, really, you think you're better than me? As if I've ever cared what you think!

"You think you're the big shot, the golden boy of the Wright family, and the cream of the crop in the capital's youth, right? Do you think you're one of the top three hotshots?

"Ever since Andrew showed up, you've been like a jittery little pug, bouncing around helplessly. What happened to your old swagger? Where's that tough guy act now?"

Quinton, red with fury, slapped Yara right across her face.

"You think you can just throw Andrew's name around in front of me, you little brat? Get this straight, in the Wright family, anyone who dares to utter 'Andrew' will have to answer to me—with their life on the line!"
