Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2679

Jerome shook his head. "He's just staying at the Advanced Medical Institute, but he's not actually part of the Institute itself. Just like you, Ms. Owens, he's also from Chetvine."

Mikayla frowned. She could not believe someone else from Chetvine was at the Advanced Medical Institute, and she had no idea who it could be.

Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Lorenzo calling. However, she did not answer because Jerome was right in front of her and she had more important matters to attend to. She did not know why he was calling at this moment, but she felt it was probably not anything urgent.

At the time, everything at the Advanced Medical Institute was under the control of the Owens father-daughter duo, and Mikayla did not think there could be any unexpected developments.

"Sir, you said there's someone from Chetvine who knows me, and they're right here at the Advanced Medical Institute," Mikayla said with both wariness and skeptical amusement.

She continued, "Then may I ask who this person is? Please invite them out so we can meet. Perhaps they're even a family friend. In that case, you should definitely come with me, sir."

Jerome gave a cryptic smile. "Are you sure you want to meet them? From what I know, he doesn't seem to get along with your Owens family."

Mikayla stayed confident as she replied modestly, "Even though we're just a small household in Chetvine, the Owens family still has some connections and a bit of respect. So please, bring him out. I'm really curious who it could be, since I practically know everyone from there."

As the heiress of a prominent family, Mikayla's confidence radiated at all times, and this moment was no exception. She made it clear, subtly but firmly, that anyone from Chetvine should give her and the Owens family face.

Jerome sighed. "Alright then, since you're so enthusiastic and insistent, Ms. Owens…"

He turned around and said toward the backyard, "Hey, come out. She was going to see you sooner or later anyway."

Andrew emerged from the courtyard with a calm expression on his face. "Mikayla, what a coincidence!"

Mikayla was stunned speechless. In the next second, she suddenly backed away and demanded angrily, "Andrew? What are you doing here?"
