Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Not only Donald , but even the Aickers were shocked by this turn of events .

Lauren , please stop ! Francesca pleaded , her face turning pale .

If Lauren actually killed Donald , the ion would escalate beyond control .

Lauren kept the gun pressed against Donalds sweating forehead , completely ignoring Francescas plea .

She growled , You pig , Ive been more than courteous with you .

Just because youre the head of Jayrodale police department , you think you can get away with arresting my man without cause ? Laurens eyes were fierce , and her chilling gaze made Donald tremble .

However , a surge of anger quickly rose within him after all , he was one of Jayrodales top dogs and head of the police department .

Donald said coldly , Ms.

Rhodes , if youve got the guts , shoot me right now .

If I die in my office , not only Andrew but you and the entire Rhodes family will face severe consequences .

Lauren smiled menacingly , Oh ? Do you really think I wont pull the trigger ? Ill send you straight to hell , you pig .

Do it ! Shoot me right now ! Donald roared .

Lets see if any of you make it out of this precinct alive ! Lauren suddenly lowered the gun and put it back in her purse .

Sorry , there werent any bullets in the gun .

Otherwise , I might have accidentally blown your brains out , Mr.

Warren .

She had left her ammunition behind when her mother , Tiana , had confiscated her gun earlier .

The whole thing had just been a bluff to scare Donald .

Wiping his cold sweat , Donald straightened up and taunted , Ms.

Rhodes , Dr.

Aicker , its impossible for you to save that punk from me .

Tell me your conditions for releasing him , Lauren demanded icily .

Donald snorted , regaining his arrogant demeanor .

Donalds anger surged .

His day was turning into a nightmare .

Every big shot in Jayrodale seemed to be coming after him , and for what ? I dont recall having any beef with you two, Donald growled , though his tone was notably more restrained than with the Aickers and Lauren .

After all , these underground leaders were not to be trifled with .

They were hardened criminals who had fought their way to the top .

Mr.

Warren , are you deaf ? Natasha snapped impatiently .

I just said Andrews under West Ends protection .
