Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1381

Kevin scoffed. "Besides, Winston's always been a little wild. Letting loose is second nature to him! And now that Andy's technically his uncle, shouldn't an uncle be allowed to discipline his nephew a little?"

Quinton felt his teeth grinding to the point of cracking. Just a short while ago, he considered Andrew a nobody, just a bottom-tier loser.

But now? That same nobody had somehow become one of his dad's sworn brothers, which made his status lower than Andrew's. It felt like fate itself was playing a cruel joke on him—one designed to ruin his life.

Andrew said flatly, "Mr. Wright, I've got no problem with the whole brotherhood thing. But being your son's godfather? That, I've got an issue with. Because, let me be honest—I don't want a disrespectful brat like him tied to me."

Kevin snapped, "Quinton, get over here and apologize! Can't you see you've pissed him off? Now get on your knees, apologize, and promise him that you'll be respectful from now on."

Quinton shot to his feet, roaring, "I'd rather die than be humiliated like this! Father, either kill me today or forget it—I'm never apologizing to that damn nobody. Who does he think he is?"

Asking him to consider Andrew his godfather was no different from dragging his pride through the mud. He could not take it, nor would he take it.

Andrew let out a slow sigh. "See, Mr. Wright? This kid's not just ungrateful, he's downright unruly. Handing him off to me won't change that. You heard him insult me, didn't you?

"Looks like your family still sees me as beneath them. In that case, I'll excuse myself. I've already been invited to dinner by several top families in Blumedale—it seems they want to build connections."

Kevin instantly panicked. He had a prize catch right in front of him, and now it was slipping away. If he let Andrew walk now, he might as well hang himself from the ceiling.

Moreover, judging by Andrew's tone, he was actually offended.

Kevin knew he had to smooth this over fast. He said, "Hey, hey, don't be mad! Come on, there's no need to be upset. Listen, if you think my boy's out of line, then I'll handle it, personally."

Without another word, Kevin stood up, grabbed Quinton by the hair, and unleashed hell.
