Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1964

The first thing Victoria did after waking up from her coma was smile and ask Andrew to take her home. She told Andrew not to worry and to leave everything to fate.

Andrew did not say anything. However, he silently scoffed. 'Fate? I don't believe in that. I only believe in my own strength!'

The convoy of luxury cars rolled through the Peck residence gates. Miles and Liliana stood stiffly at the entrance, their faces tense.

The people arriving were some of the most influential figures in Blumedale, and any one of them was someone they would have to greet with full respect.

Among them was George, who stood silently at the back of the group, dressed in black and leaning on a cane. Freya held an umbrella over him to shield him from the drizzle, her expression calm and unreadable.

Andrew walked through the gates and said without looking back, "The rest of you don't need to come in. I don't want to disturb Victoria's rest. Just wait outside."

Duncan, Ryder, George, and the others all nodded and remained standing outside the gates. Having such a group of powerful figures come calling but not entering, just standing guard outside the gates, was truly overwhelming for the siblings.

Liliana felt her scalp tingling and whispered to Miles, "Miles, you should invite Mr. Keller Senior inside. How can we let him stand outside?"

Miles hesitated but eventually walked to the back with forced courage. "Sir, please, come inside for some tea and rest."

George waved him off. "No need. He already told us to wait outside. Even if it's pouring knives from the sky, I'll wait right here."

Miles didn't dare press further, his heart pounding. For the first time, both he and Liliana understood the scale of Andrew's power and influence.

Especially Liliana. When Andrew had stepped out of the car earlier, she had almost dropped to her knees. She could feel it now, the sheer force of the man she had foolishly provoked time and again.

Duncan smiled and waved them over. "Come here, Miles and Liliana. I've got a question for you."
