Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1445

Andrew looked at Jameson, then at Tiana. The two of them could not have had more opposite views,

Jameson wanted stability, believing that since the fragments were already lost, it was best to back away.

But Tiana? She was already burning with ambition, believing the loss of the fragments was a blessing in disguise-it meant Rafael and the others would complete the map for them and reveal the treasure's location. Then, she could swoop in and seize the real prize.

Andrew had witnessed firsthand how far Tiana could go when she set her mind to something. Her ambition was unmatched; in many ways, she was more relentless than any man he knew.

Now, he had to make a decision. If the treasure truly surfaced, should he fight for it or not?

And if he did, he would have to be ready to face off with Rafael and whoever else dared to claim it.

However, Jameson's warning still lingered in his mind: that the treasure might not just be gold and silver. There might be hidden dangers beyond imagination.

That made things a whole lot more complicated.

Andrew said carefully, "Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes, how about this-let's observe for now. We wait and see if the full map really does come together. If it does, and the location is revealed, then we plan our move.

"Rafael and Mosby are both dangerous men with their own agendas. And the truth is, when Mr. Bates passed his family's fragment to me, he trusted me to guard it on their behalf. Which means I can't just sit back and watch Rafael walk away with everything."

He paused, letting the weight of his words settle.
