Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2674

The small mountain valley was surrounded by towering peaks, and Mikayla stood on a boulder high above, her dress fluttering as she watched Lennox and Quinn tangled together down below. She looked amused, almost entertained by the scene.

Footsteps sounded behind her, yet Mikayla did not turn around as she giggled and said, "Dad, you're here."

Lorenzo walked up beside her, calmly glanced down at the valley, and gave a low grunt.

Mikayla snorted and asked, "Disgusting people, aren't they?"

Lorenzo withdrew his gaze, his eyes cold as he said, "They're just lowly creatures enjoying a moment of pleasure, nothing more. Mikayla, we're reaching the most critical part of our plan, and you need to push harder on your side as well."

Mikayla giggled and replied, "Don't worry, Dad. Handling Lennox is way easier than dealing with that damn Andrew. I only had to give a vague hint, and Lennox nearly lost his mind."

Lorenzo replied mildly, "Speaking of Andrew, Mr. Vazquez sent word that the little brat isn't in Chetvine right now."

Mikayla answered lazily, "So what? You think Mr. Vazquez would bother looking at someone like him?"

"Of course, Mr. Vazquez doesn't care," Lorenzo said, his expression turning serious, "but he reminded me not to get careless."

He added, "If that brat shows up at the Advanced Medical Institute at the wrong time, he'll ruin everything we've built."

Mikayla scoffed, "First of all, Andrew showing up here is already impossible, and even if he did, it wouldn't change a thing. We could use our victory as leverage and get the Institute to quietly wipe him out, and no one would ever know."

Lorenzo frowned slightly. "Either way, being careful never hurts. Mr. Vazquez laid out the entire political roadmap of the Advanced Medical Institute for me, and whether we can seize control and make the Institute work for the Owens family depends on us. If we fail, Mr. Vazquez won't lift a finger for us; he'll simply discard us."

Mikayla muttered unhappily, "Dad, why do you always sound insecure whenever you bring up that old man Mr. Vazquez? You're the head of the Owens family, the top favorite around Mr. Vazquez in all of Chetvine, and even Jose can't compare to you."
