Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 147 Tony chuckled.

Of course, Mr.

Blackwood

Even just having you here is worth every penny.

Even though he said that, his heart ached at the cost.

These martial arts masters had extraordinary skills but were also arrogant and greedy.

Each job they took was like an excuse to extort the clients, draining them dry with every outrageous demand

Nonetheless, Tonys thoughts turned cold as he remembered the rumors circulating in Jayrodales underworld that he, the East Side crime lord, was a useless old man, and Juan was equally worthless. Both father and son had been humiliated by some nobody, tarnishing the reputation of East Sides ruler. The shame was simply unbearable, and Tony believed the only way to salvage his reputation was to eliminate Andrewnoveldrama

By doing so, he would restore his image as the unshakable ruler of the East Side.

Just then, Christina was brought in

Her face turned pale at the sight of the hundred plus thugs and the martial art masters seated at the front. Ms.

Stevens is truly a rare beauty, Tony said with a twisted grin, his gaze lingering on her.

Even at my age, I cant help but feel tempted.

Mr.

Madden Senior, Stevens Corporation has never had any conflict with East Side.

What do you want? Christina asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Tony snorted.

Thats not for you to decide.

Tell me, whats your relationship with Andrew? Hes my ex, and weve gone our separate ways, Christina replied.

Good

Now call him and tell him to come save you, Tony demanded coldly.

Mr.

Madden Senior, I absolutely cannot do that! Christina exclaimed.

No? So you wont cooperate ? Tonys expression turned vicious.

Panicking, Christina quickly replied, Ive already said it I have nothing to do with Andrew anymore.

Theres nothing between us !!! Tonys voice turned icy.

I dont care what your relationship with him is now.

Youre going to call him, bring him here, and then Ill consider letting you go.

Otherwise, Ill have my way with you before killing you.

The last trace of color drained from Christinas face.

Why are you so determined to lure Andrew here? What is East Side planning? Tony sneered

With all these men and three martial arts masters here- isnt it obvious? He wont be leaving here alive!
