Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2453

Isabelle replied calmly, "I know Andrew must have his own plans. But he's definitely not the coward you think he is."

Mikayla sneered. "He better not be."

Isabelle stood up. "I'm heading home."

Mikayla called out quickly, "Hey, wait, Belle! We just made up, didn't we? Come over for a meal later. My family wants to clear up the misunderstanding from last time."

Isabelle did not even look back. She simply replied, "I'll pass, and Mikayla, I probably won't be coming to see you much anymore."

Mikayla blinked in surprise. "Why? Did something happen?"

Isabelle smiled. "Nothing happened. I just realized I've been keeping the wrong kind of company. I don't want to be your friend anymore."

Her words were blunt and sharp, leaving no room for misinterpretation.

Mikayla stood frozen as Isabelle walked away until she disappeared from sight. Slowly, her expression darkened.

She hissed, "Little bitch, so you really ran into Andrew's arms. Fine. If that's how you want it, I don't need you either. Go ahead and leave, you idiot. Follow Andrew all you want… You'll end up paying for it soon enough."

At the Lloyd family estate, Aspen pouted. "Honey, your enemies have finally left. But they said some awful things. Now, when Natasha and I go out, people keep giving us strange looks."

Natasha chuckled softly. "Don't worry about it, Aspen. What others say doesn't matter, as long as we're safe."

Aspen nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. But I heard the one who came looking for trouble works for Mr. Vazquez. There are too many big shots in Chetvine. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Still, I feel bad that you had to put up with all that, honey."

Andrew laughed. "Me? I'm not upset. In fact, I'm feeling pretty good."
