Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2427

Theon was determined to win over Luna. The main reason was that he could establish connections with Philip. If that happened, his future in Chetvine would be absolutely unstoppable.

Mikayla looked a bit embarrassed and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Orben, I already told you that General Phelan doesn't know what's good for her. When she found out Andrew had been kicked out, she immediately turned around and left.

"She even said she won't be coming back to Sovereign's Apothecary anymore. She's acting like we're the ones desperate to have her here!"

Theon's expression darkened, and he exploded in fury. "So why didn't you make her stay?"

Mikayla was shocked. "Make her stay? Mr. Orben, why should I? I'm part of the Owens family. Why should I lower myself to beg her to stay?"

Theon roared in rage. "Idiot! You may be from the Owens family, but she's General Turman's prized student. More importantly, she's a major general in the military with real power and genuine ability under her command. Do you seriously think you can even compare to her? Mikayla, you've completely messed this up!"

Mikayla's face flushed red as she froze, completely stunned. She had never seen Theon, who had always been polite, lose his temper like that. His words hit her pride like a knife.

"Mr. Orben, I don't understand why you'd say that. What do you mean, how can I compare to her? In what way am I inferior to General Phelan?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Mikayla ended up shouting as well.

Caden and the others standing nearby felt their scalps go numb. They never expected that Mikayla, usually so understanding, polite, gentle, and graceful, would actually argue with Theon.

"Mikayla, say less. Mr. Orben didn't mean it the way you think…" Someone tried to mediate with an awkward laugh.

Mikayla's face was ice-cold as she stared at Theon, not backing down an inch.
