Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2434

"Well then, Ms. Theron, I'll take my leave and let you two talk." Uriel glanced at Andrew before turning to walk out.

Andrew ignored him, frowning slightly as he looked toward the curtain. Everyone said the Reyes family's upper ranks were strange and unpredictable, people whose behavior could not be measured by common sense or logic.

Among the major houses in Chetvine, none were more mysterious or morally gray than the Reyes family. And the force behind them, the Umbral Peak Sect, was practically the definition of evil.

Elaine was certainly living up to that reputation.

By right, Andrew was just a guest, a stranger even. Elaine had no reason to stay alone with him, especially since certain factions in Chetvine already had issues with him.

Some people probably turned red with anger just at the mention of his name.

Yet, his woman was being all mysterious and secretive, and Andrew had no idea what she was up to. Still, it did not really matter. Since he was already here, he would roll with whatever came.

As if sensing Andrew's wariness, Elaine chuckled softly again, her voice tender and melodious. "You don't need to be nervous. I won't eat you."

Andrew said flatly, "I'm not nervous. I just want to ask if you have any advice for me. If not, I'd like to discuss the purpose of my visit with you."

Her voice turned cold. "No rush. What interests me most is you and your father. The rest doesn't concern me much."

Andrew's heart skipped a beat. He silently wondered if Reginald had some messy connection with one of Finnegan's favorites, too. Judging by her tone, she sounded like she wanted to dig into his father's news.
