Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Liliana declared, "I'd be willing to do anything for Joe!"

Andrew smirked. "Well, Ms. Peck, aren't you quite the romantic! Let me congratulate you in advance on winning your prince charming."

Liliana snorted coldly. "Hold on, don't rush off just yet. I'm not done yet!"

Andrew, who had been about to leave, stopped again, and his expression darkened. "Liliana, you talk way too much. I'm giving you one last chance, so speak up!"

Liliana was secretly furious at his dismissive tone, as if he was telling her to hurry up and say her piece. Andrew really disgusted her to no end, and she found him absolutely repulsive.

"Don't get cocky, Andrew. Your lucky streak is about to end! Nobody has a chance of winning against Joe in combat, but I want you to voluntarily give up this match with him."

Now it was Andrew's turn to look confused. "And why would I do that?"

Liliana's eyes darted around as she looked Andrew up and down, then her expression turned contemptuous. "The reason, of course, is that you're not qualified to fight Joe! If it weren't for Lauren, he would never lower himself to play these childish games with you.
