Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1983

Scarlett mumbled, "I'm not sure if I should say this."

Maurice snorted. "What's there to hesitate about? Just spit it out."

Scarlett still looked uneasy. "Victoria said that before Mia married into the Driscoll family, she was actually Franklin's junior."

Maurice nodded matter-of-factly. "That's right. Mia and Franklin were indeed senior and junior. That's also why that bald bastard agreed to work with the Driscoll family to plot against Victoria and Andrew."

Scarlett hesitated again. "Dad, that's not what I really wanted to tell you. I-It's something else."

Maurice's tone grew impatient. "I told you to speak plainly, so stop stalling."

Scarlett took a deep breath and stopped holding back. "When Victoria mentioned that Mia was Franklin's junior, she also said that they had a relationship. She claimed Franklin arranged for her to marry into our family."

Suddenly, she stopped speaking because she noticed Maurice's face had gone pitch black with rage.

Nonetheless, Maurice was a man who had seen it all, and he remained composed. He simply asked, "And?"

Scarlett felt a chill run down her spine. She did not dare hide it and said honestly, "Victoria also said that when Mia was still Franklin's junior, he forced himself on her. She never blamed him for it, and in the end, you became the man who picked up the pieces."

Maurice's eyes burned with fury as he roared, "Enough! That's all. Now go. Get ready to head to the company later with that bald bastard and lure Andrew into a trap. With that cunning Francis helping us, killing Andrew shouldn't be hard."
