Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2163

Andrew looked genuinely surprised. "You think calling him useless is too harsh? I actually think it’s perfectly normal. In my family, if someone couldn’t even make that kind of money in a year, they’d be thrown out, have their arms and legs broken, and kicked from the house!"

Cassandra gritted her teeth in fury. She knew Andrew was bragging, but she was completely powerless to do anything about it.

Sofia walked over with a lecturing tone. "Cassie, Carlos, did you hear what Andy said? Look at him, then look at yourselves. What he's saying is exactly what we've been thinking."

She continued, "You two are just useless, understand? Remember this… From now on, you need to learn from Andy. If you could pick up even a tiny bit of what he has, it would last you a lifetime!"

Cassandra wanted to die from embarrassment. Chantelle had only brought Andrew home for two hours, yet the power dynamics had completely flipped. Now, she and Carlos were the ones being trampled, while Andrew, who was puffing himself up and bragging, was sitting high above them all.

Just then, the doorbell at the Garcia residence rang from outside. The whole family went out and opened the front door, only to be absolutely stunned by what they saw. The chairman of the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce stood there in a sharp business suit.

Behind him, more than a dozen luxury cars had completely blocked the entrance to the Garcia residence.

"Hello, I'm Freddie Hawkins. Is Mr. Andrew Lloyd inside by any chance?" Freddie spoke with a warm smile, appearing very humble and respectful.

Patrick's hands and feet were shaking. "Mr. Hawkins, my idol! You actually came to our house in person?"

The family could only be considered upper middle class in Terror Town, with some business ventures and a few connections. They were still a long way from Terror Town's true elite circle.

In a city like Terror Town, everyone knew how rigid the social classes were, and climbing the ladder was nearly impossible.

Andrew stepped forward with a smile. "Mr. Hawkins, I've heard so much about you!"

Freddie's small frame radiated charismatic energy. "Oh my, you’re even more impressive in person! I didn’t expect the King of Gabo Creek to be this young. Let me properly introduce myself: I'm Freddie Hawkins, Chairman of the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce. Welcome to Terror Town!"

Chantelle giggled. "That’s nothing hard. If you’d like, I can have my husband set it up."

She was already calling him her husband even though they were not married yet.

However, Patrick and Sofia did not show any objection whatsoever. If this had happened before, Sofia definitely would have lost her temper. But now, she only felt indescribable joy and excitement. She thought Chantelle was incredible, bringing home such a golden son-in-law.

Cassandra and Carlos both kept quiet now, especially Cassandra. She did not dare to show a trace of annoyance in front of Andrew.

After all, even Freddie Hawkins, chairman of the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce and the top figure in Terror Town and the surrounding areas, had come personally to greet him.

She had to admit that Andrew was truly impressive.
