Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545 Chapter 545 +25 BONUS Tiana let out a laugh , though it was a cold and disdainful one .

So stubborn , refusing to admit your weakness , hiding behind a facade of apparent strength .

This is one of Marvins old tricks , and youve learned it well .

Andrew frowned .

Tiana kept bringing up Marvin , and he couldnt figure out what her intent was .

Her words implied she viewed Andrew as Marvins pawn or lackey , but that couldnt be further from the truth .

Andrew couldnt understand her logic .

His relationship with Marvin was nothing like what she imagined .

In fact , they were completely unrelated .

With a flick of her sleeve , Tiana turned away and instructed The Pharmaceutical Divisions issues whoever can solve them will earn the CEO position .

Michael , Lauren , youre both outstanding members of the Rhodes family .

Lets not dwell on the past .

From now on , itll be a fair competition between the two of you .

Fair ? What a joke ! 1 Andrew felt a chill in his heart and nearly exploded in anger What was Tiana even thinking ? Lauren was her biological daughter , and yet she refused to help her .

But now , when it was clear Lauren was far more suited to lead Rhodes Corporation than Michael , she had to play this twisted game of internal conflict , forcing the two to compete against each other .

Sure , this kind of scheme was common in wealthy families , but Tianas so called faimess disgusted Andrew .

To him , it was the greatest insult to the word fair .

Dr.

Lloyd , dont ! Noticing Andrews rising anger , Lauren grabbed his arm and pleaded with her eyes .

It was rare for Andrew to see Lauren look so vulnerable .

Thinking back , he realized that since Tiana had arrived at Rhodes Corporation , Lauren had grown uncharacteristically quiet timid , even .

In Andrews mind , Lauren had always been bold , decisive , and willing to confront challenges head on .

Fine , Andrew sighed , exhaling his frustration .

I just cant stand seeing my girl being wronged ! Reluctantly , Andrew held back from confronting Tiana Tiana had already left with her entourage , moving swiftly and decisively .

Michael lingered behind , pausing to glance back at Andrew with a sinister smirk .

Andrew , Ive told you before no matter how you play , youll never be a match for me .

So what if youve won a round ? As long as Im a man of the Rhodes family , youll never surpass me .

Andrews expression remained cold .

Feeling pretty smug , arent you ? Maybe I should find an opportunity to cut you down to size and see if you can still smile then .

Michaels grin froze .

Dr.

Lloyd , Ive decided I dont want to compete for the CEO position anymore .

Andrew looked at her .

Lauren , is this because of your mother ? Lauren let out a bitter laugh .

No matter what , shes still my mother .

But the truth is , Im a woman .

Eventually , Ill marry and leave the family .

Deep down , shes always seen Michael as the rightful heir to Rhodes Corporation .

Andrew sneered .

If you were anyone else , you might not have the power to resist this kind of bias .

Youd just obediently follow the familys plan .
