Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 246 Just then, more distinguished guests arrived at the Weller family estate.

Harvey walked with two of the familys elite guards.

away Andrew, Harvey may be a jerk, but the Weller family elders arent pushovers, Francesca warned. You dont need to be so confrontational with them! Cant you see what Harveys doing? Andrew scoffed. Hes just flexing his new authority by parading around with the familys guards.

If we back down now, hell think he can get away with anything! Dr.

Lloyd, Fran, lets go inside, Lauren suggested.

Whatever happens, Harvey wont cause trouble at his fathers funeral with so many people watching. The Weller residences main hall was packed with Jayrodales elite.

Andrew casually glanced around and spotted his old rivals: Atlas, Finley, and Michael, who had also noticed him.

While nobody started anything, the tension was evident in their pressions.

Mr.

Lloyd, hello! an enthusiastic voice called out.

Andrew turned to see Silas, the CEO of Radiant Group, approaching with a friendly smile, followed by Elsie in an elegant black dress that accentuated her figure.

Hello, Mr.

Vaughn, Ms.

Santana, Andrew replied politely.

Mr.

Lloyd, you did us a huge favor at the last auction, Silas said.

Ive been looking for an opportunity to thank you properly.

A favor? I didnt do anything special, Andrew responded, puzzled.

Elsie stepped forward, a slight blush on her face

If it werent for you, our auction house would have suffered heavy losses.

Please accept our gratitude

If your gratitude involves a private date, I must respectfully decline, Ms.

Santana, Andrew replied, holding his hand.

Elsie bit her lip, looking somewhat disappointed.

Youve already rejected my subtle advances before.

This time, Im actually inviting you to our auction houses upcoming appraisal convention.

Wed be honored if youd attend.

This time, Andrew did not refuse.

He smiled and said, Sure, Ill be there.

After Elsie and Silas left, Lauren nudged Andrew playfully.

Dr.

Lloyd, Radiant Groups appraisal convention is a major event in Jayrodale.

Even the famous Ms.

Santana personally invited you it seems like she has really fallen for you.

So what if she has ? Francesca pouted.

Andrew is a gentleman, not some playboy.

Elsie will Chapter 246 get the message after being rejected a few more times! Fran, youre acting like youre Dr.

Lloyds wife, Lauren teased.

With the way you guard him, anyone would think youre Mrs.

Lloyd

Francescas face turned red as she avoided Andrews gaze.

Im doing nothing wrong! Andrew is our hospitals deputy chief.

I have a duty to protect his reputation! By then, all the mourners had arrived.

Harvey took the stage, flanked by two Weller family guards.

Thank you all for coming to pay respects to my father, he began.
