Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 908

Chapter 908

Jameson explained, “The reason I support Lauren being with Andrew, even though I’ve never met him, is because I believe he has potential,”

Tiana let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Potential? Are you serious? Do you know how many powerful, well–bred men from Blumedale have lined up to court our daughter? Every single one of them comes from a prestigious family with an outstanding background.

“I’ll admit, Andrew has repeatedly surprised me, forcing me to reevaluate him. But no matter how capable he is, wise one should always achieve more. The truth is, Andrew’s ceiling is still just this tiny town of Jayrodale.

“The Rhodes family has already secured its foothold in Blumedale. At the very least, Lauren’s future should be there too. So tell me, how can Andrew possibly compare to the heirs of Blumedale’s elite families? How could he ever compete with someone like Joe, a true once–in–a–generation prodigy?”

Jameson’s face darkened slightly. “What’s wrong with coming from a small place? Have you forgotten–I came from a small town too.”

Tiana’s smile turned ice–cold. “And look where that got you. You’re surrounded by enemies, struggling to hold onto your position while your own brother tries to steal the family headship.

“You’re barely keeping the family together in Blumedale, forced to exhaust yourself just to maintain some level of influence.”

Jameson’s expression grew colder. “Tiana, you were born into the Lambert family. You’re nearly at the level of a martial king and were once hailed as an elite of the upper class.

“I know you’ve always looked down on me. And frankly, I won’t beg for your approval anymore. If the Rhodes family truly falls, then we’ll get a divorce. You can chase the happiness you regretted letting go of all those years ago.”

Tiana’s face twisted in fury. “Jameson, you and that brat Lauren are just trying to make my life miserable, aren’t you? I won’t raise a hand against our daughter, but don’t think for a second that I won’t slap the hell out of you!”

Jameson let out a sharp laugh. “Go ahead and try! I’ve put up with your bullying for years–I’ve had more than enough!”

Tiana’s anger exploded as she lunged at him, unable to hold back any longer. Jameson might have been the head of the Rhodes family, but he was no match for Tiana when it came to martial prowess.

Within moments, she had him pinned down on the bed, smacking him around while he let out muffled groans. However, just as quickly, the situation flipped.

Somehow, the ever–dashing Jameson pulled a fast move and turned the tables, pinning Tiana beneath him instead.

With a soft click, the lights in the room dimmed.
