Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Ernest was genuinely baffled .

He wondered where on earth this brazen kid came from , daring to challenge him over and over .

Andrews eyes glinted coldly as he said calmly , And what if I said I dont believe you ? Ernests lips twitched with rage as he turned to Natasha with a scowl .

Natasha , are you going to rein in this punk or not ? If you wont , Ill call my men right now and make sure hes left for dead in the street ! Natasha shot Andrew a quick glare .

This troublemaker of hers was certainly bold , comparing Ernest to garbage and calling him old and washed up it was a direct attack on his pride .

If Andrew wanted that rare medicinal herb so badly , it would make more sense to hold back and endure a little .

Forcing a smile , Natasha turned to Ernest and said , Ernest , please dont be angry .

Mr.

Lloyd is young , and sometiines he can be a little impulsive .

Ill apologize on his behalf .

She gave him a placating smile , trying to diffuse the tension .

Yet , Ernests frustration was not so easily soothed .

He jabked a finger in Andrews direction , his cigar bobbing between his fingers .

Ernest grumbled .

Youre lucky Natasha stepped in for you , kid .

Otherwise , Id teach you a lesson you wouldnt forget ! He was arrogant and determined to show Natasha his dominance .

He wanted her to see that compared to this young punk , he was the real deal the one with power and authority .

Natasha forced another smile .

Ernest , since youre willing to let it slide , how about we focus on the rare medicinal herb you have ? Mr.

Lloyd is truly interested in purchasing it .

Just name a fair price , and well gladly meet your terms .

Ernest sneered , his expression smug .

Fine , Natasha , since youre asking so sincerely , Im not an unreasonable man .

I wont even ask you to be with me anymore .

If youre done , the doors right there .

Feel free to leave .

Ernests face turned dark as he snapped , What do you mean by that ? Are you saying you dont want the Aurora Lotus anymore ? Andrew smirked .

Dont worry , Ill get it from you .

And when I do , youll be on your knees begging me to take it .

Ernest froze for a second before bursting into will laughter .

You little punk , are you trying to kill me with laughter ? You think Im going to kneel and beg ? Who do you think you are ? Some hotshot ? Youre just a nobody ! Natasha was just as stunned , wondering what nonsense Andrew was saying now .

Ernest groveling and handing over the herb willingly ? That would be about as likely as pigs could finally fly .
