Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3354

Jakob, who had originally been looking forward to watching the drama unfold, grew furious and asked coldly, "Andrew, what exactly did you do to Mr. Asher? Because whatever it was, it's got him acting like a completely different person. We are all citizens of Holtrien. You had better not try some underhanded tactics."

His words instantly stirred up anger among the Cavendish royal family.

Another elder from the Cavendish royal family shouted, "Asher, just speak openly. If Andrew threatened you, the Cavendish family is not afraid of him. At worst, we will go down together."

Others quickly chimed in.

"Exactly. So what if we go down fighting?"

"The Cavendish royal family has never been afraid of anyone."

"Andrew, the Lloyd royal family has gone too far!"

Facing the wave of accusations, Andrew simply smiled and said nothing.

Asher stepped forward quickly, his voice firm and clear. "Everyone, nothing I said was forced out of me. Mr. Lloyd never laid a hand on me. What happened in Chetvine was a misunderstanding. We were both acting on behalf of different sides, and things got mixed up. That's the whole story."

The Cavendish hall went silent again. If what Asher was saying was true, then the family had spent all this time assuming the worst about someone who had not actually done anything wrong.

Andrew had not hurt Asher, yet here they were carrying on as if he had committed a serious crime.

Jakob sneered, clearly wanting to add fuel to the fire. However, Asher turned and fixed him with a cold stare before he could get a word out.

He said, "You're not a member of this family, so I'd appreciate it if you kept quiet. If your meddling is what ends up driving a wedge between the Cavendish family and Mr. Lloyd, I will personally make sure you answer for it."

Jakob was enraged, his face turning red as he protested, "Mr. Asher, what are you saying? I was helping you. Are you seriously accusing me of working against you?"

Asher replied flatly, "Did I ask for your help? I know exactly what kind of person Mr. Lloyd is. Now that he has come here, the Cavendish family should immediately form an alliance with him to resist our external enemies. As for you? You're an outsider, and this conversation doesn't concern you."
