Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 19 Shawn looked at Andrew with a smirk .

Whats the matter , Andrew ? You sound like you have a problem with this .

Irene mocked , Of course he does .

He cant stand that youre more capable than him .

Hes just jealous .

Andrew shook his head , amazed at Shawns shamelessness .

He knew the truth Marvin had personally called him for permission , and it was only after Andrew gave the green light that Stevens Corporation had a shot at the orphanage property .

Shawn raised his glass , looking smug .

Andrew , youre being ridiculous .

Im graciously inviting you for a drink , and instead of being grateful , youre questioning me .

Your attitude suggests you think you helped Christie , not me .

Leroy scoffed , Yeah , right ! As if a wimp like him could pull that off .

If he managed to do it , Id eat my hat .

Andrew turned to Christina , his tone serious .

A word of advice : youre surrounded by dishonest idiots with bad intentions .

Be careful .

Id hate to see you run the Stevens Corporation into the ground because you cant judge peoples character .

However , his well intentioned words were met with displeasure from Christina .

Andrew , I dont understand why you always have such a problem with the people around me .

I know I you earlier with the misunderstanding , and Ive apologized .

But that doesnt give you the right to baselessly smear the reputations of those close to me .

hurt Andrew was taken aback .

Baselessly smear ? So you still think Im causing trouble for no reason ? Christina sighed , waving her hand tiredly .

Can we drop this ? Honestly , Andrew , Im really disappointed in you right now .

Andrew let out a bitter laugh , realizing his good intentions had backfired .

Fine , youre always right .

Im the bad guy , Im targeting the people around you , and I cant stand to see you .

happy .

Is that what you want to hear ? With a cold chuckle , Andrew turned to leave .
