Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1492

Andrew felt nothing but indifference in his heart. While Kevin wanted to take him out, he had long been planning to destroy the head of the Wrights himself.

Since Kevin chose to toss away what little was left of their so-called brotherhood, Andrew saw no need to hold back either. If the treasure hunt gave him the right opportunity, he would gladly erase Kevin from existence.

Once he returned to Blumedale, it would be time for Yara to rise to power. From that point on, the Wrights would essentially be working for him.

Of course, Andrew knew he could not let his guard down around Yara either. It was not about being overly paranoid—it was simply the reality. After all, Yara was not truly one of his people.

A woman's heart was a fickle thing, especially when she got a taste of power. Who could say for sure that if Yara managed to rise to the top, she would not turn around and stab him in the back?

…

The next day, Kevin called again, urging Andrew to bring the completed map fragment and head over to the Wright estate. Rafael and Mosby were already getting impatient.

Andrew agreed readily, saying he would be right there. In reality, he did not take it seriously at all and stayed at Serenity Villa to arrange necessary matters with Dylan and Natasha before departure.

"Dylan, take the team. Your job is simple—secure Serenity Villa and keep Lauren and the others safe. As for Natasha, you're coming with me."

Dylan responded, "Mr. Lloyd, don't worry. If anything happens to the three ladies, I'll offer up my own head!"

Andrew rolled his eyes. "Don't make such bold promises. Right now, you can't even beat Aspen."

Dylan flushed red with embarrassment and scratched his head awkwardly.

Natasha clicked her tongue and grumbled, "You spend all day messing around with those three ladies and forget all about me. But when there's a dangerous mission, I'm suddenly useful again. Darling, you've changed. You've become cold and practical."

Seeing she was not just joking but actually looked a little hurt, Andrew felt a pang of guilt. "That's why I'm only taking you with me."

To be fair, Natasha was a remarkably understanding woman. These past few weeks, Andrew had been doting on Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen nonstop, completely neglecting her.

Yet, Natasha had never once complained. She kept to herself, training with Dylan in the basement, and even stayed out of the main house so she would not disturb him and the ladies.

"I'm just a servant, after all. You can use me however you want, Mr. Lloyd."
