Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 12 The hostile blond guy was none other than Christinas good for nothing brother , Leroy Stevens .

Couldnt win fair and square , so youre resorting to threats ? Andrews expression remained blank , completely unfazed by the life in Leroys hand .

Irene snarled , Andrew , dont forget , youre nothing without Christie .

She gave you everything for three years .

How dare you do this to her ! Andrew laughed at their audacity , his tone full of mockery .

You should be asking what I gave her during those three years , not the other way around .

Bullshit ! Irene exploded .

Youve been mooching off Christie .

What could you possibly have given her ? Youve got nothing to your name , you shameless parasite ! Andrew scoffed , Is that so ? If I recall correctly , negotiated several key contracts for Stevens Corporation .

And wasnt I the one who bailed your deadbeat son out of jail ? Your family seems to have lost all sense of decency , Irene , flushed with anger , and embarrassment , You ungrateful bastard ! Back then , you were with Christie .

It was just a small favor , and you think doing a few errands makes you special ? Leroy cut in impatiently , Mom , stop wasting breath him .

Let me teach him a lesson ! Then , he raised the knife threateningly .

Ill give you one last chance .

Are you handing over that property or not ? Andrew replied coldly , The propertys no longer in my possession .

Im sorry , but I cant hand over what I dont have .

Leroys face contorted with rage , veins bulging on his forehead .

Yet , before he could act , Andrew continued , Besides , even if I did have it , why would I give it to you with this attitude ? If youre here to ask for a favor , show some respect .

If youre here to play tough guy , sorry , Im not interested in your games .

With that , Andrew turned to leave , not sparing a glance at Leroy .

Leroys eyes were bloodshot as he screamed , You bastard ! Take one more step , I dare you ! Youre not leaving until you sort this out ! Irene sneered , hands on her hips , Andrew , youd better cooperate .

You know Leroys temper .

Who knows what might happen if you upset him ? Andrews lip curled in disdain .

Oh really ? Id like to see him try .

Without Christinas influence , Leroy was less than an insect in Andrews eyes .

You asked for it ! Leroy was furious as he swung the knife at Andrew .
