Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

"The Ackermann family really thinks they can gang up on me? A father and his sons, all teaming up to take me on?" Andrew laughed as he looked at the ridiculous lineup in front of him.

Oswald let out a furious snort. "Andrew, the Ackermann family only owes your Supreme Capital Group a few million. That's pocket change! But now you've nearly destroyed our entire family!"

He growled and said, "You've seen my two sons. Horatio has mental problems, so my only hope was my eldest, Abel. But thanks to you, my sons turned on each other, and now Abel's life hangs in the balance! Tell me, how can I possibly let you go?"

His expression looked ready to devour Andrew alive.

Andrew sneered coldly in response. "Mr. Ackermann Senior, I really don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by 'pocket change'? How is it that the Ackermann family is in the right when you're the one owing money now?

From where I'm standing, it looks like the Ackermann family is the one bullying me today, don't you think?"

Oswald's eyes turned ice-cold. "At this point, Mr. Lloyd, whatever you say is pointless! Either way, you're not leaving here today! Not until I get word from the hospital that my son is safe and sound!"

Andrew nodded approvingly. "Amazing! So you think I'm easy to push around, and now you're blaming me for your idiot son's life-or-death situation!"
