Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 999

Harvey thought, 'You want Quinton to be your knight in shining armor? That's a joke."

From the start, the Stevens family was already caught in the trap Quinton set.

At that moment, Quinton watched from a distance, calmly surveying the chaos.

"Harvey's really going all in," Shawn said with a smirk.

Quinton's expression did not change. "The harder he hits, the more painful it is for the Stevens family. And once I make my entrance, the impact on Christina will be that much stronger."

Shawn forced a flattering smile. "Quinton, once you've played the hero and saved the day, you're taking the Stevens family to Blumedale, right? So, could you also help out my Fields family while you're at it?"

Quinton replied flatly, "Don't worry. When the time's right, I'll handle it."

Shawn swallowed that line with a bitter smile, thinking, 'He's been stringing me along with that same promise for days.'

"Quinton, Andrew showed up at my home earlier," Shawn pleaded. "He made it clear—we're on his blacklist now. If you don't help us, he's going to crush me and the Fields family like insects!"

Quinton stayed cool as ever. "Relax. We'll talk about it later."

Shawn nearly cursed out loud. Quinton was all talk—vague promises and empty reassurances.

If this kept up, Shawn would have no choice but to flee Jayrodale or hole up in his home, terrified to step outside without checking the damn calendar for sightings of Andrew.

Suddenly, Quinton straightened in his seat and grinned. "Alright. It's time for my grand entrance! Sure, the whole 'hero saves the damsel' thing is corny as hell, but classics never go out of style.
