Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2541

Andrew sneered, "If the Webster family had any shame, Mr. Webster wouldn't be bullying his own sister. I've heard that the Webster family is powerful and wealthy, with impeccable family values. But I never imagined that Ms. Webster, in her old age, would be kicked out of the family. What's wrong? Can't Mr. Webster even afford to support his own sister? If you can't, I'm more than willing to give her a place to stay."

Melvin was so furious that the veins on his neck bulged out. Andrew's words, for someone like him who prided himself on being capable, were incredibly insulting and deeply humiliating.

"You brat, you…" Melvin roared at Andrew, on the verge of exploding.

Finally, Helda shouted, "Melvin, sit down! Andrew, Amari, what brings you two to the Webster family? If there's nothing important, please leave. The Webster family doesn't welcome you."

Amari stammered, "Mrs. Webster Senior, I…"

Helda waved her hand dismissively, "Amari, nothing can happen between you and Maddie. I've already told you this. Why come back just to embarrass yourself?"

Amari's face turned ashen as he lowered his head without saying a word.

At that moment, Andrew stepped forward and plopped himself down right in front of Theon and the others.

Mikayla shouted, "Andrew, what are you doing?"

Andrew completely ignored her, looked at Helda, and smiled, "Mrs. Webster Senior, pardon the intrusion. Today, Amari and I have come to propose a marriage."

Ignoring Theon's murderous glare, Andrew turned to Melvin, "Mr. Webster, you just called me shameless. I'd like to know exactly how I'm being shameless."

Melvin was still fuming. "Do you even hear yourself, Andrew? With Amari's age and his status, he's nowhere near good enough for Madeline. You think this is the right time to propose? Don't you see how ridiculous this is?"

Andrew let out a cold laugh. "I'm sorry, but I don't find this ridiculous in the least. When two people are truly in love, why should time or circumstance matter? Since when does love have an expiration date or require a certain rank? Amari and Ms. Webster share a genuine connection. What is so wrong with that?"

He continued, "Mr. Webster, who are you to question our status? Let me turn that question back on you. What, precisely, is the great status of the Webster family? What makes you, Melvin Webster, so incredibly superior?"
