Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2162

Sofia came over with a second cup of tea, carefully saying, "Andy, try this one, I switched it to Earl Grey."

Andrew waved his hand. "Mrs. Garcia, I still think plain warm water is fine. Black tea's so strong on the stomach, and my system's always been a little sensitive."

Sofia gave an awkward laugh and nodded quickly. "Oh dear, how inconsiderate of me. Wait here, I'll bring you hot water instead."

By this point, Andrew had completely tamed her. She did not dare show even a hint of attitude.

Meanwhile, Cassandra watched as Carlos had been reduced to a complete joke, sitting there like a sidelined player. She felt it was unfair for her husband and could not help feeling frustrated.

Why should Chantelle get all the attention just because she brought a boyfriend home?

Even though they were sisters who should support each other, she still wanted to compete with Chantelle and prove that she, as the older sister, was the superior one.

Most importantly, she could not stand how Andrew had gone from seeming so lowly at first to acting all high and mighty.

She said, "Well, Andrew, since you're so impressive, your family must be pretty well-off too, right? Carlos' family is in the trading business. Even though he's not particularly accomplished himself, the Watts family has quite a bit of influence here in Terror Town."

Since she could not brag about Carlos directly, she started bringing up his family background.

Carlos himself perked up a bit at this. He might not be much, but his family was still pretty powerful.

Andrew chuckled. "The Terror Town's Watts family? What kind of nameless operation is that? I never heard of them."

Ignoring Cassandra's furious expression, Andrew smiled coldly. "Trust me, Cassandra. Any random junior member from the Chetvine's Lloyd family could wipe out his family."

Andrew then smiled at Carlos. "Mr. Watts, you're from Terror Town, and this place is practically overflowing with money. You must make a few hundred billion a year, right?"

Carlos's eyelid twitched as he quickly forced a smile. "Just call me Carlos. A few hundred billion? You're giving me way too much credit! Forget about me… Even if you sold the entire Watts family, we wouldn't be worth that much!"

Andrew made a dismissive sound and turned away. "Then you're pretty useless if you can't even make that kind of pocket change."

Carlos's face turned bright red. Despite that, aside from nervous laughter, he did not dare make any other move.

Being called useless for not making billions was something he had no way to refute.

Cassandra's face darkened. "Andrew, you may be impressive, but calling Carlos useless outright is going too far, don't you think?"
