Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 18 Thats my girl ! Well done .

This ungrateful wretch deserved it , Irene cheered .

Way to go , Christie ! You shouldve slapped him too .

Teach him a lesson he wont forget , Leroy added .

The mother and son applauded , secretly delighted .

Shawn smirked .

Andrew , I almost feel sorry for you .

Christies such a kind and gentle woman , and you not only fail to cherish her , but you also manage to make her this angry .

Youre beyond help .

Its no wonder Christie broke things off with you .

Christina froze as she watched the water drip down Andrews face , soaking his shirt .

W Why didnt you dodge ? Andrew could have avoided it , but he chose not to .

Are you satisfied now ? Do you feel better ? You know their true nature better than I do , yet you believe everything they say .

Youre right , us breaking up was wise .

Because youre nothing but a foolish woman ! Andrews icy tone and cold gaze made Christina shiver .

She started to doubt her own actions and whether Andrew was really the kind of person she thought he was .

After all , Andrew was not the type of person she painted him to be .

Irene and Leroy were constantly stirring up trouble .

One loved to gossip , and the other was a bully .

How could she have believed them so easily ? Suddenly , Christina felt a rush of regret .

Andrew , I- Andrew raised his hand , cutting her off.

I dont care what you want to say .

Ill just tell you this -take care of yourself .

Your mom might be awful , but I didnt touch her .

As for your brother , youd better find out what he really did .

If it had been someone else instead of me , he might have ended up dead , not just slapped around .

With that , Andrew turned to leave .

Christina hurriedly called out , Andrew , Im sorry .

Please , let me explain ! Andrew looked back with a cold smirk .

Explain what ? Dont you think Im a jerk who cant be trusted ? Youve already thrown water at me .
