Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1459

Lauren had arrived alongside Andrew, and when she saw what was going on, her expression turned a little strange.

Andrew offered a casual explanation. "Rachel's one of our Chamber members."

Lauren smiled warmly and greeted her. "Nice to meet you, ma'am."

Rachel hesitated. "And you are..."

Lauren chuckled. "Name's Lauren Rhodes. I'm Andrew's first wife."

Rachel's face froze for a moment, cursing inwardly, 'That little vixen actually managed to land Mr. Lloyd?'

If that was true, then her own chances of moving up were even slimmer now.

Wait a minute. First wife?

Did that mean Andrew had a second? Maybe even a third?

Rachel suddenly felt her stomach drop.

Meanwhile, Andrew paid her no mind. He simply got out of the car, took Lauren's hand, and walked straight into the fast-food joint.

The moment he stepped through the door, he saw Quinton with his back turned to him, hands stuffed in the pockets of a tailored suit, striking a dramatic pose.

"You must be the new chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce. My name's Quinton, the eldest son of the Wrights in Blumedale. I wonder, have you ever heard of me?"

He even threw in some outdated formal speech, trying way too hard to sound refined.

Andrew stepped forward, fully intending to smack the smug right off him. However, before he could move, his eyes landed on two trembling figures nearby—a man and a woman.

It was Christina and her younger brother, Leroy.

Christina's face was swollen, a complete mess. As Andrew's gaze swept over her, she flinched like she had been burned, quickly turning her face away and trying desperately to avoid his eyes.
