Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 863

Aspen clenched her teeth, fury blazing in her eyes as her chest rose and fell with anger. She thought, 'This bastard is despicable, ruthless, and downright vile. I can't believe he actually has the audacity to talk about digging up my family's graves!'

She silently cursed at Andrew for being inhuman, scolding him a thousand times in her head. Nonetheless, all that came out of her mouth was a deflated sigh. "Relax. With my skills and connections in Blumedale, I'll have your company up and running in no time."

She added, "But here's a piece of advice—money doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. The Driscoll family and the Golding family aren't just some random nobodies. You're just a big shot in Jayrodale, but in Blumedale, you're nothing more than a small-time boss.

"If the Driscoll family or any of those powerful clans take an interest in you... Not only will you lose your people, but your money might vanish into thin air too."

Aspen smirked as she said it. It was as if she were waiting for him to realize that his arrogance would only get him so far. Sure, Andrew might be able to throw his weight around in Jayrodale, but in Blumedale? He would have to lay low and act humble.

"Just focus on completing the task I gave you. Everything else isn't your concern." Andrew waved her off like it was nothing.

He continued, "And while you're at it, buy yourself a decent dress or some professional attire. Right now, you look like a construction worker or some kind of brute. It's an eyesore."

Aspen fumed, but she did not dare talk back. Was he actually calling her ugly?

She thought he must be blind. After all, she was the heiress of the Bridgefields' Stevens family, and she could stand toe-to-toe with Francesca or Lauren any day.

Andrew did not bother with her reaction. He simply waved her away, signaling that their conversation was over.

Just as she was about to leave, Aspen suddenly smirked. "One last thing—you might want to keep an eye on your dearest Christina. That innocent-looking CEO may seem harmless, but did you know it was her who tipped off my father?

"She's the one who leaked the information that led the entire Stevens family to storm into Jayrodale, all guns blazing. You outplayed us, and we lost. But Christina? She was more than happy to sit back and to get someone else to do her dirty work."

With that, Aspen turned and walked away.
