Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Lauren covered her mouth to suppress a laugh , suddenly realizing that these so called Jayrodale elites were not much different from the social climbers they claimed to mock .

Thatcher ! Harvey declared .

Dont get cocky .

Your first two wins were just beginners luck .

Fortune wont keep favoring a fool forever ! Bernard chimed in , Well said ! Those two wins were nothing but dumb luck .

Thatcher at horse racing especially not some junior doctor ! Mark waved them off with a chuckle .

Come now were not sore losers .

Dr.

Lloyd , if you can win this one too , youll definitely earn my respect ! If were playing by the same rules , Mr.

Thatcher then I wont lose , Andrew replied with a calm smile .

The crowd erupted immediately .

Such arrogance ! This young man doesnt know his place ! How dare he speak to Mr.

Thatcher like that ! Francescas heart was racing , She could not believe Andrew dared to speak so boldly in front of Mark .

Marks tone turned serious as he said , Horse racing can be unpredictable .

But Ive never lost three races in a row to anyone .

Young man , you should know theres always someone better out there .

Your confidence has stirred my competitive spirit ! As the mayor , losing twice was not a big deal .

It was nothing more than a slight blow to his pride .
