Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Andrew spoke clearly, "Master Shiloh, I hope you won't refuse our request. Please come down from the mountains and endorse our two miracle medicines."

Behind the sheer curtain, there was only silence.

Harvey sneered. "Andrew, do you really think someone like you has the ability to convince Master Shiloh to leave her retreat? What a joke.

"In Jayrodale, countless wealthy elites, high-ranking officials, and socialites have tried to invite Master Shiloh into the business world, and none have succeeded. Do you think you, of all people, have what it takes?"

Andrew remained calm. "Harvey, you talk as if you've succeeded where I've failed. Master Shiloh is a woman of wisdom and purity, living above the corruption of the world.

"Meanwhile, you the infamous head of the Wellers are nothing but a

degenerate, a disgrace. Honestly, the fact that she hasn't damned you straight to hell is already a mercy."

For once, Michael was on the same page as Andrew. He pointed at Harvey and quickly spoke toward the curtain.

"Master Shiloh, this man is Harvey Weller, the head of the Wellers. In Jayrodale, his name is synonymous with filth and disgrace.

"You might not know this, but this guy was caught having an affair with his own stepmother, and it was exposed all over the internet. Right now, there isn't a single person in Jayrodale who isn't calling for his castration!"

Harvey's expression twisted in fury. He had not expected Andrew and Michael to expose his dirty secrets right in front of Shiloh. He had come here today to invite her to become an honored guest of the Wellers, but if they ruined this for him.

Grinding his teeth, Harvey tried to salvage the situation. "Master Shiloh, please don't listen to their nonsense. Every word they're saying is a lie pure slander! They're only trying to ruin my reputation!"

At that moment, a cold laugh rang out from outside the hall, dripping with disdain.

"Master Shiloh, we are from the

Stevens family. Apologies for interrupting. But we couldn't just

stand by and let you be deceived et

We can personally testify that

feli

Harvey is exactly what they say he is a disgraceful, shameless pervert.

"No, calling him a beast would be an insult to beasts. Master Shiloh, we implore you-do not be fooled by his disgusting façade!"

The voices were sharp, unapologetic, and laced with utter contempt. A moment later, Christina and Aspen stepped into the hall, their expressions ice-cold.

Harvey and the two Wellers elders immediately stiffened, their faces darkening.

Harvey clenched his fists and spat, "Christina, Aspen-you two just don't know when to quit, do you?"noveldrama

It was already bad enough that Andrew and Michael were ganging up on him. Now, with the Stevens joining in, he was seriously outnumbered.

Christina glanced at Andrew before speaking in a cool, detached voice. "Andrew, know exactly why you came to The Southern Highlands. suggest you take Michael and leave. This isn't a place where you can throw your weight around "

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What, do you own The Southern Highlands now? If you can be here, why can't I?"

Christina's expression darkened. She snapped, "I'm warning you for your own good. If this situation escalates, it won't end well for you."

Andrew smirked, unimpressed. "Everyone here is after the same thing—we all want Master Shiloh to come down from the mountains. So if you think you have the skill to win her over, show me what you've got."

Christina let out a bitter laugh. "Fine. Since you insist on embarrassing yourself, won't hold back. I've

asked you time and time again-to return to the Steven family. I've given you the chance to rekindle our relationship, but you've thrown it away every single time.

"Andrew, I won't beg you anymore. Do you think acting high and mighty gives you

power over me? You're giving yourself way too much credit."
