Immediately, everyone scattered. Some rushed to contact the Reyes and Robertson families for support, while others charged straight toward the entrances of Chetvine to stop Guillermo from escaping.
Andrew glanced at Mikayla with clear disgust and said coldly, "Take Mr. Owens Senior and get out."
Mikayla was overjoyed. "Andrew, you are really letting us go?"
Andrew replied indifferently, "From this moment on, I don't want to see the Owens family exist in Chetvine."
Mikayla let out a bitter laugh. For generations, the Owens family had chased the dream of becoming a noble house and building a lasting legacy. Yet now, everything had collapsed into nothing but an illusion.
Time and again, they had been crushed by Andrew's hand.
And this time, Andrew ended it all with finality.
Dragging the unconscious Lorenzo with her, Mikayla staggered toward the exit of the Lloyd family estate.
She looked back miserably and pleaded, "Andrew, do I still have a chance? If… I mean, if I'm willing to be your woman, asking for nothing in return, would you take me in and let me stay in Chetvine?"
Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like someone who doesn't have a standard? Get lost. I'm a clean freak, and I can't stomach trash."
Mikayla's whole body trembled, and she nearly coughed up blood. Overwhelmed with shame and rage, she reluctantly left the Lloyd family estate.
Sheena and Nyx, the two powerhouses at Andrew's side, had already gone to intercept Guillermo. Meanwhile, within the Lloyd family, Donovan had personally mobilized forces to confront the Hearst family forces from the Hearstlands.
The Hearst family members in Chetvine had made the first move, and Donovan stepped forward personally to deter them.
If the Hearst family wanted a fight, they would get one.
Suddenly, the Lloyd family's defenses were stretched thin. Only Andrew and a few of his close female companions remained at the estate.
"It looks like the Lloyd family really is running on empty inside. With chaos erupting everywhere, even the Lloyd family couldn't sit still. Perfect timing for me to kill you now, Andrew. You did not expect this, did you?"
As the words fell, the intruder stepped straight into Andrew's room.
It was Guillermo, along with Jose.
The latter had a complicated expression as he looked at Andrew. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Guillermo was fully armed, and his eyes gleamed with venom. "Andrew, we have been locked in this struggle for a long time. It's time to end it. I'm going to show you that in the end, you can't outplay me. With your injuries, dealing with both Jose and me right now is going to be pretty difficult, don't you think?
"You calculated everything, constantly closing off my escape routes. But in the end, I'm still one step ahead. Heaven itself has helped me!"
After saying that, he burst into triumphant laughter.

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Rising from the Ashes (Andrew)
The author is insanely inconsistent with Christina's character. She was loyal enough to withstand torture until she fainted, and refused to call Andrew when she was kidnapped (even though it was out of a misplaced sense of protectiveness due to her lack of trust in him). This shows that despite her family being trash (other than Dougals), she is at least a good peson at heart. Then she suddenly turns into someone spiteful and evil simply because the author is no longer intersted in patching them back up, and has decided to set him up with Lauren and Fran. That's his choice, but at least be consistent....
